A little over a month had gone by and Liberty had yet to tell her family. She was starting to show so she knew she would have to soon.
"I'm not sure I can do this." Liberty pleaded with Chris. She was getting ready to tell her parents about the baby. "Yes you can." Manny said reassuringly. She had invited both Chris and Manny over for moral support. "Manny and I will be with you the entire time." Chris told her. She got up off her bed and walked over the door. Her hand started to tremble as she reached door knob. Flashes of her dream entered her mind. "Now or never." She whispered. Once in the hallway Liberty held out her hand for Chris who it in his as they made their way down stairs with Manny following not too far behind. Her grip on his hand tightened as the reached the bottom step. "Mom, dad can I talk to the both of you for a minute?" she ask walking into the living where her mother was watching TV and her father was reading the paper. "Yes sweetheart." Mr. Van Zandt said putting his paper down on the floor next to him. Liberty walked across the living room; sitting down on the love seat across from her parents she motioned Chris to come sit down next to her while Manny stood behind them. "I have something very important to tell you." She started the tremble a little so Chris put took a hold her hands, rubbing them slightly. Liberty looked over at Chris and then back to her parents who now had a very concerned look on their faces. "Liberty, honey what's wrong?" Mrs. Van Zandt said "You're not sick are you?" her father added. "No...I'm fine...I'm..." I can do this; I can do this she kept repeating in her head. "I'm pregnant." She finally whispered.
