Chapter Thirty-Two: Tonight, Tonight
"Whoa...what?" Freddy gasped.
"It's the only explanation to why she's been so sick lately. She doesn't have a fever, she doesn't have pneumonia or anything. We think she's pregnant." I sighed, still embracing Zack...A very upset Zack.
"I don't wanna be a father now! I just CAN'T!" He groaned. Poor Zacky...I felt horrible for him and Summer...She's only fifteen! The youngest of the group!
"I'll go check on her, guys." I gave a squeeze to Zack, when I stood up, I gave a kiss to Freddy and left.
So many things were going through my mind as I walked to the hotel room. It was only about 4 PM, so all of us had to pack and go DRIVE all the way back to Los Angeles. The tour was over and it was back to guardianship to Peter Wentz. I couldn't face the real music, so I hooked a U-turn and walked down to the pool. Sidekick in hand, I quickly texted Greta.
KTBaby: Greta! I need your help with something...
pianoscreamo123: What's wrong Katie?
KTBaby: It's Summer. We think she's pregnant and frankly, we don't know what to do I mean...ToT
pianoscreamo123: Are you SERIOUS?!?!
KTBaby: Yes, that's what we think.
pianoscreamo123: No need to fear, Greta Salpeter is here! On a bus quick stop, we'll get her some tests and some b4 we leave. 'Kay??
KTBaby: Thnks Greta! But keep it hush-hush...
pianoscreamo123: I'm not in The Hush Sound for nothing...LOL
KTBaby: (dancing) G2G...Thanks again!
"Hey Katie..." It was Summer.
"Hey Summer! Are you feeling better?" I asked, turning around. She was wearing a flowy black babydoll dress, bangle bracelets, knitted ballerina flats, and her hair in a ponytail.
"Not really. Can I tell you something?" She sat down across from me.
"Sure, what's on your mind?" I crossed my legs uncomfortably.
"Well...Zack and I sort of did...it...and I think that...I'm pregnant." Summer patted her stomach.
"I sort of figured. I was talking with Zack about my mom being a bizz-nitch and it sort of slipped out of him. Summer, he's not ready to be a father, he's only sixteen. Are you going to plan something for this baby?" I explained.
"I don't know. You know I don't believe in abortion, so I don't know." She replied sadly.
"We'll figure it out, Zack, Freddy, and I. Duh of course you too! Greta's willing to help, too. You know how word gets around on tours."
"Thanks Katie, but I'm thinking about adoption. This child can ruin my career!"
Something switched in me. Maybe it was the thought that my own parents wanted to adopt me out before I was born. It sent shockwaves through me.
"Summer! NO! You can't do that!" I exclaimed.
"I only want what's best for him or her. You know that, Katie!"
"But how do you know for sure you're having a baby?" I asked.
"I took almost 8 tests. They were all positive. I'll ruin my reputation! Most of all I'll ruin the damn kid's life!" She was starting to break.
We talked for two hours straight and she confided her whole heart to me. Zack came to the pool and sat next to Summer, putting a hand on her stomach.
"I know I said I wasn't ready to be a father, but for this...I'll do anything." Zack was in tears. "When we're eighteen, we'll get married, like we planned."
"Katie...I think we're keeping this baby." I smiled and hugged them both.
