By now it was Saturday night and Emma still hadn't told Peter about her pregnancy. Manny wasn't allowed to tell Spike or Snake until Emma was ready. She planned on telling Peter, tonight. Just to get it over with. She thought that stressing her out over this was bad for the baby and her health.
Emma Nelson and Manny Santos were sitting on the bed in their basement bedroom that they shared. Emma and Manny were deciding on how Emma should break the news to Peter.
"Why do I even have to tell him? He'll know soon enough. I'm pretty fat already." Emma stated plainly.
Manny worried that Emma thinking she's fat again could bring up her old anorexic habits and said, "Em, you're not fat, you're pregnant. I hear boys find pregnant girls sexy." Manny laughed and Emma smirked at Manny's witty humor.
"All right I guess I should." Emma decided.
"Why don't you call him. Or that'd be a little cold to tell him over the phone. Why don't you invite him over? I'll go upstairs. Spike and Snake aren't home so they wouldn't be able to hear what you're talking about. But I don't see why you won't tell Spike. I mean this happened to her too, and at a younger age even." Manny said.
"I know, I will. Don't worry. Ok, do what you said. Go upstairs and I'll have Peter come over and I'll tell him." Emma said worriedly.
"Ok, Em it'll be fine. I'm gonna go watch tv." Manny said and got up and walked up the stairs and closed the door to the basement.
Great, now I have to call Peter, woohoo!
Emma picked up her phone and dialed Peter's number.
"Hey Em." Peter said knowing who it was (caller i.d.)
"Hey, Peter. Spike and Snake aren't home and Manny is watching tv. Want to come over and hang out in my room?" Emma asked hoping he'd say no so she wouldn't have to tell him.
"Yeah, sounds like fun. I'll be right over. Bye." Peter said.
"Bye." Emma replied.
About 15 minutes later Emma heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it." Emma yelled to Manny. She ran up the basement stairs and opened the door to outside. "Hey Peter, come on down." Emma pulled Peter downstairs leaving Manny alone upstairs.
"Hey Em, what's up?" Peter asked not knowing what Emma was going to tell him.
"Peter, we need to talk. There's something I've been hiding from everyone but Manny for the past month or so." Emma said really scared.
"Um, ok, spill." Peter said confused.
"Well remember when we had sex like a month ago." Emma asked slyly.
"Yeah…." Peter replied back.
"Well I'm pregnant." Emma sighed as relief washed over her for finally telling Peter.
"Pre pregnant! Are you sure is it mine?" Peter asked nervously.
"Yes I'm pregnant and YES it's yours, if you want to break up with me, I'll understand." Emma said while diverting her eyes off of Peter.
"Ok, we can work this out. I don't want to break up with you. I want to help you through this." Peter said kindly while rubbing Emma's back.
"Oh ok. Let's talk about you know, what's going to happen in the future with us and the baby." Emma said happily now that she knew Peter was going to be there for her.
"Well abortion is definitely out of the question." Peter said.
"Of course." Emma said.
"Do you want to keep this baby? Because I don't know about you but I don't think that I could give up my own child." Peter said to Emma.
"I know me either. I want to keep it too." Emma agreed.
"Well, then it's settled." Peter said smiling placing his hand gently on Emma's stomach. Emma looked up at him and smiled and Peter kissed her softly on the lips.
Later that night after Peter left Spike and Snake came home with Jack to find Manny and Emma watching tv.
"Hey girls. How was your evening?" Spike asked smiling while looking at the two best friends sprawled out on the couch.
"It was good. How was yours?" Manny asked.
"It was fun. But Jack cried too much." Snaked said with a laugh. Spike smiled at this.
"Mom, dad I need to talk to you. It's about me and Peter. I'm pregnant, we're pregnant." Emma stated while Manny got up and made her way to the basement.
"Emma, how long have you known. Who knows?" Spiked asked calmly.
"I've know for about a month or so, and only Manny and Peter know." Emma said to her mom.
"Well, I'm not mad. Snake and I will help you through this. Just like my parents did." Spike said kindly to Emma.
"Have you seen a doctor yet?" Snake asked.
"No." Emma replied.
"I'll make an appointment tomorrow. Why don't you go to bed? It's late." Spike said while glancing at Snake.
