Jerrica and Lela are in the car after her doctor's appointment, which says she is pregnant. Lela hasn't said much in the car, she is waiting for Jerrica to get mad over her pregnancy. Jerrica isn't quite sure what she is going to do. She wants to get mad; but Lela has been hurt emotionally lately and she doesn't want to make her feel worse, however she can't let Lela get away with what she has done.
"Who else knows about your pregnancy?" Jerrica asked.
Lela who is just staring out the window replied, "Just Becky and Delaree. I told them today at school."
"I see I know that you are scared about being pregnant and feeling alone over losing someone else that you cared for deeply. We will all be there for you and for the baby, from this point on. However, you are grounded for a month." Jerrica said.
"Okay." Lela said.
Jerrica and Lela go home and Lela goes upstairs to lie down. Aja had already filled the other Holograms about the possibility of Lela being pregnant. Jerrica walks into the room and without saying a word verifies that yes Lela is pregnant. Becky and Delaree go to check on Lela.
"So what the doctor say?" Becky asked.
"I am pregnant." Lela told them.
"So how mad is Jerrica?" Delaree asked.
"She said that she will be there for me and the baby, but I am grounded for a month." Lela explained to them.
"Wow, A month that is rough" Delaree said.
"How are you going to manage being grounded for a month? The most any of us has been grounded for is 2 weeks." Becky said
"I know, but I also know that I shouldn't have done any of the stuff that I have done." Lela said.
The next day Jerrica runs into Riot. "What again, are you following me?" Jerrica asked.
"I am just wondering what Lela had to say, to not being at her friend's house?" Riot asked.
"Let me make this short. She was at a guy's house and now she is pregnant. And most importantly, I am handling it." Jerrica said
