As James had said, the Portman's arrived along with a red and puffy eyed Lily. As soon as Lily Saw James she was in his arms, seeking comfort. Her father glared, but one narrowed eyed glare from Tom was enough to make Mr. Portman back down. Tom commented coolly.
"I won't tolerate any of that under my own roof Mr. Portman. You are in my house, if that's how you communicate in your own home, then that's up to you. But I assure you, it is not how we are in mine."
Mr. Portman demanded "so you mean to tell me Mr. Hanson, that you and Mrs. Hanson condone this?" Tom replied "no Mr. Portman I by no means do not condone this. But it is to late now, what's done is done.
And no matter how much I do not care for this situation, it is not going to make it go away." Judy added "I also do not condone this, but as my husband said, what's done is done.
They knew of the consequences before they went a head and started sleeping together." She added "now they must deal with the consequences of their actions, they made their beds, and now they will have to lay in them."
Tom went on "Lily is much and as equally to blame as is my son. They both knew the consequences of what they were doing, and the risks that were involved. My son, he did not get your daughter pregnant on his own."
Judy said matter factly "I'm certain you and your wife have heard the term it takes two to Tango? Well let me tell you before you start to blame this all on my son. That little saying also applies to them as well."
Mrs. Portman sighed "we're aware of this, or at least I am" she shot her husband a very black glare. "We do not wish to cause an argument, or to be on bad terms with each other. We are after all good as family and in laws."
Mr. Portman sighed in defeat. "I really do like James; he is a polite and usually a responsible young man. It's just when a father's little girl is gotten pregnant, said father tends to become defensive."
Tom scowled "yeah do I know the meaning of getting defensive over my little girls, you've got one, and I've got two of them." He added at Mr. Portman's knowing chuckle.
"And by some sick coincidence, I do know how you feel about Lily, Seeing as I've been informed that Emily the second eldest of my children is also pregnant, and at sixteen."
Mr. and Mrs. Portman were stunned. Mrs. Portman said "and I take it you are not overly thrilled about this either?" Tom snorted and replied dryly "not even close, not even dam close."
Judy added "and to make things even worse, the father of the baby is the eldest son of mine and Tom's best friend of almost eighteen years." Tom added "Christ, we even worked with this man, and will be doing so again at the end of the month."
Mr. Portman grimaced and commented sympathetically "wow, now that is awkward." Lily spoke up "how did you and Mrs. Hanson find out about Emily, when I know for a fact Emily was far too terrified to tell either of you?"
James answered "I did. I told them." Lily glared at her boy friend and asked "how could you rat out your sister? It wasn't your place to tell them, it was hers."
James glared "it is my place when she had no dam well intentions of saying anything, until it became obvious that she was pregnant, and even a simpleton could have figure it out." He scowled "she can hate me all she dam well pleases.
But if me and you have to come clean and face the music with the good old parental's, then she sure as hell is going to as well." He finished irritably "if she can't do the time, then she shouldn't do the crime, simple as that."
Mr. Portman chuckled "you do realise lad, that you'd made one hell of a cop, with that attitude don't you?" James chuckled along with his father. "It is in my blood Mr. Portman, my grandfather was a cop, before my father became one.
And I have every intention of joining the academy as soon as I graduate. Christ, my mother was even a cop." Tom commented lightly "Your mother and I soon will be cops again as well." James turned surprised "you will?"
Tom and Judy both nodded grinning. Judy told him "your father and I are rejoining the police force. I'll be reinstated to sergeant at the end of the month, and will be working as a superior officer at the Jump Street program.
You remember the job and program I was at along with your father before you and your brother and sisters were born?" Tom added "I was a sergeant before I quit the police force entirely and became an agent of the CIA."
He grinned and added "well at the end of the month, I will be promoted to Captain Status. And I will also be taking over Adams job at Jump Street, when he retires." James grinned widely "you mean you'll be the Captain and the leader of the Jump Street program?
That Uncle Adam is finally retiring and turning the reins and control over to you?" Tom nodded and smirked "and you won't believe this your mother, your uncles Doug, Harry and Denis will have to take orders from me.They will be doing the same job and have the same ranking as your mother."
James joked "do you fancy giving me a job if I manage to get through the academy?" Tom, he replied half jokingly and half serious. "I might just have to. Seeing as if you're truly anything like me, then you'd never make it on patrol because of your youthful looks."
Tom cleared his throat "any way back to the current situation at hand. Lily is going to need support once the baby is born. And I assure you she'll get it, in the form of James paying her child support. It is only right that he does, he is the father after all."
Mr. and Mrs. Portman nodded in agreement "good" said Mr. Portman. "As long as we agree on that, then things should run smoothly, or as smoothly as it can for teenage parents."
Lily spoke up "I'd thought I might as well make it clear here and now. This is a Hanson I am currently carrying, and the last name Hanson is what it will be having, and what will be put on the birth certificate."
James added "besides. I and Lily have already discussed this. And have decided it will also be her name to, as soon as I graduate from the academy, if I get accepted of course." Lily finished "we've decided when James's graduates from the academy, that we are going to get married, and get a place together after we graduate."
Judy asked "what do you mean have we've graduated?" Lily smiled and replied "I'm also joining the academy as well. I want to be an officer of the law, I want to help others. And that is exactly what I intend to do."
Lily glared at her parents when she saw they were about to protest "I will marry James with or without your blessing, just know that." Mrs. Portman replied "that's not the problem; we approve of James and would be honoured to have him as a son in law."
Mr. Portman finished "it's the profession you've chosen that worries us dear." Lily replied "Why on earth should it be a problem? You are a judge dad. And you mum are a lawyer. Why can't I be a cop? It is what I want to do.
You two work in professions concerning the law, I wish to do the same. Mr. Hanson is to be a Captain, and run his own department. And even Mrs. Hanson is a sergeant of the police and will being working at the same program."
She finished firmly "I will do this with or without your blessing; it is my life and my decision to make not yours. I'm sorry if you do not agree with this assessment, but that is how I feel."
Tom added "not to stick my nose in where is not wanted or anything along those lines. But if and when they manage to graduate the academy, I will give both of them jobs at the Jump Street chapel as undercover officers, under my control and lead."
He added carefully in less turn the Portman's even more against the idea "It can be dangerous, but I'm certain when the time comes both my son and your daughter will be capable of doing their jobs.
The academy will never allow a trainee to graduate if they can not hold their own in a crisis and desperately dangerous situations. We can not afford to put the public in jeopardy." Mr. and Mrs. Portman sighed defeated, knowing Tom was right and, they also trusted his judgment completely.
