Bree knocks on Betty's door gently.
"Well hello Bree."
"Hi Betty."
"Come in."
"Thank you." Bree says politely trying to keep her composure.
"Would you like some tea?"
"No. Betty I need to talk to you."
"About what? Is this about the kids because..."
"It is about the kids. And I need you to hear me out."
"Ok."
"It seems that Danielle is pregnant... with Matthew's baby."
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"How far along is she?"
"Uh... around 4 months I think."
"Did she tell Matthew?"
"As far as I know."
"Could you hold on a second please?" Betty asks as she approaches the bottom of the stairs. "Matthew get down here." Betty calls up the stairs.
"Mom you sound mad what's wrong?" Matthew asks just before seeing Bree in the kitchen.
"Did Danielle tell you?" Betty asks as Matthew sits down on a chair in the kitchen.
"Tell me what?" He replies trying to sound oblivious.
"That she's pregnant." Betty outlines.
"Yeah." Matthew sighs solemnly.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"She wanted to wait."
"Until what?" Betty questions.
"I don't know."
"What I don't understand is why you two were so foolish." Betty protests.
"I don't know I'm sorry." Matthew insists.
"Don't tell me your sorry. Tell Danielle."
"Mrs. Van de Camp I'm sorry. I didn't mean to screw Danielle's life up." Matthew comments as he walks out
of the kitchen toward the stairs.
"Matthew wait." Betty remarks.
"What?"
"Go call Danielle and have her come over here please." Betty asks.
"Ok."
"So Bree what does Danielle want to do?" Betty asks as Matthew goes up the stairs to use the phone.
"She wants to keep it and raise it."
"But they're both so young."
"I know. But it isn't my decision. I don't agree with it, but if I don't let her she'll do it any way."
"So what do we do?"
"I have no idea."
Matthew comes back down the stairs as Danielle knocks at the door.
"Come in sweetheart." Betty directs from the kitchen.
Matthew, and Danielle join Bree and Betty at the table.
"You two are both really young are you sure you want to do this?" Betty leads off.
They look at each other momentarily and then they both shake their heads.
"Ok." Betty and Bree agree.
"So when is the baby due?" Betty asks curiously.
"July 23rd." Danielle replies.
"And it's healthy?" Betty asks.
"Uh huh. I actually just had a doctor's appointment earlier in the day."
"Oh." Betty murmurs.
Danielle digs in her pocket for a minute and pulls out an ultra sound picture.
"I know what it is if your interested." Danielle says to the other three of them.
"I am." Matthew confirms.
"Do you want me to tell you?" Danielle directs at Bree and Betty.
"Sure go ahead." Bree agrees after Betty shakes her head in agreement.
"It's a girl."
"Matthew little girls require a lot of things." Betty points out.
"Yeah I know."
"Matthew this is your responsibility too, and I'd like you to get a job." Betty suggest.
"Ok." Matthew agrees.
"Danielle you'll finish out this entire school year, and you'll finish high school, and go on to college."
"Ok." Danielle agrees.
"So now what?" Matthew wonders.
"Now we wait." Bree confesses.
That night: Before Bree goes to bed she goes in to check on Danielle.
"Hey are you ok?" Bree asks.
"I'm fine."
"What are you reading?"
"A baby name book."
"Have you found any that you like yet?"
"I like Madison, Aurora, and Liv."
"Those are nice names."
"I just don't know if they're the right ones."
"You'll see when your little girl gets here."
"I guess."
"Good night."
That night Bree couldn't get over the fact that her little girl was having one of her own. She was only 16. This couldn't be happening.
A/N: I know that the characters are ooc but it's because they would be in a situation like this. I think that they would show they softer sides.
