"Corny I can't believe you." Maybelle said looking at her soon to be husband. It was a week from their wedding, seeing that they planned for it to happen in 4 months after they got engaged.

"What? You can't blame me." Corny said stepping closer to her.

"It wouldn't be any different. It's not like it hasn't happened before. Hell happened it last week." Maybelle said stepping even closer grabbing his tie. They stood there for a moment, inching closer to one another before their lips finally touched. Maybelle's arms wrapped around Corny's neck, just as his arms wrapped around her hips.

"Momma!" Inez called from down the hallway. She walked with a purpose down the hallway, getting over her fear and telling her mother something that she shouldv'e the moment she found out. Corny and Maybelle pulled apart, turning their attention to where they heard Inez.

"Yes baby girl?" Maybelle ask the 14 year-old. Inez walked out of the hallway taking mer mother and step-father's hands, and leading them to the couch.

"Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something." Inez said looking at them.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Corny ask.

"I'm pregnant." Inez said closing her eyes so she wouldn't see their immediate reactions. She felt a warm body ingulf her in am embrace and she opened her eyes.

"I can't be mad at you baby." Maybelle simply said. This was not the reaction she was expecting. She had already packed up half of her stuff just incase.

"Momma i'm 14. Arn't you even a little mad or dissapointed?" Inez ask pulling herself from Maybelle.

"I can't be mad or even dissapointed. Can Mommy let you in on a secret? How old do you think I am?" Maybelle ask. She had never told her kids her age for this exact reason.

"40's? What does this have to do with anything?" Inez ask. She was so confused about all of this.

"No i'm only 31, and if you do the math you'll see. Seaweed is 17." Maybelle said hopeing that Inez understood where she was going with this.

"That's a... fourteen year difference." Inez said her speech slowing as she realized that her mother has been where she's at.

"I was 14 when I had Seaweed, which means I was 13 when I got pregnant. Then I got married to your father and had you when I was 17." Maybelle explained. She had never told anyone but Corny this and it felt good to let it go once more.

"Wow."

"Yeah. You will stay with us and we will help you. Also don't worry, you don't have to get married to Jamal." Maybelle said getting up.

"How did you know it's Jamal's?"

"Girl he's the only boy you're around." Maybelle said with a slight chuckle. She walked to the kitchen leaving Corny and Inez by themselfs.

"So Dad how do you feel about this?" Inez ask turning back to Corny.

"I think your mother is right. We'll be right her for you." Corny said pulling her close to him.

"But, arn't you and Momma plannin on having a kid or two?"

"Yes and we still can. This dosn't change anything just keep pushin. Ok?" Corny said. Inez just nodded and went back into her room. Corny sat on the couch thinking to himself, a smile spreading across his face.

"What you grinnin about?" Maybelle ask sitting next to him once more.

"She called me Dad." Corny answered taking Maybelle's hand.

"She loves you like her actual dad. She wishes you were her actual dad." Maybelle enlightened him. He just kissed the back of her hand and wispered a quiet "me too."
