A few months later she went into his room and sat on the floor beside him. He looked at her and knew right away that something was wrong. "What's wrong?" He asked dropping the controller. She shook her head.
"Nothing's wrong." She muttered.
"Something is wrong." He said lifting her chin up. "I can tell." She sighed.
"I...I..." She started crying. His eyes widened and he hugged her tightly.
"Whatever it is you can tell me." He said. She nodded.
"I know." She said wiping away her tears. "But...this is bad."
"How bad?" he asked.
"Like," She held up her scarred wrist, "This bad."
"What is it?" He asked scared.
"I...I'm...well..." she tried again.
"You're what?"
"I'm kinda...pregnant..." She said looking down.
"You are?" He said loudly. She nodded.
"How long?" he asked. She looked at him. "Oh! Right." He slapped himself on the head. "Sorry." he said laughing. "Wasn't thinking." She giggled.
"3 months now..." she said. "How do I know? Well...Pregnancy test. And the fact that I haven't had my period since before that happened." She laughed.
"Oh wow." He said. "Who knew that you'd get pregnant the first time?" He laughed.
"Nobody did..." She laughed. "But...We knew it could happen. So it's our fault." He nodded.
"And I will take full responsibility." He said standing up. She laughed.
"Sit down!" She said pulling on his leg. He pulled her up carefully.
"So..." He started. "Should we tell my parents?" he asked looking at her. She nodded.
"I'm going to need help." She said. "And since my mom can't help me, your mom will have to." She said laughing.
"I'm going to be killed." He said quietly. "My dad will kill me." She laughed.
"Come on." She said pulling him out to the living. "Umm...we have something to tell you guys." She said looking at his parents. They looked up at them and saw the look on their faces and knew right away something was going on.
"What happened?" His mother asked.
"Well..." Dave started.
"I'm pregnant." Jenny said. His father stood up right away.
"You're what?" he yelled.
"Dad!" Dave yelled. "You'll scare her!" He hugged Jenny as the tears started flowing.
"Oops." he said sitting back down. His mother stood up and walked over.
"How long?" She asked.
"3 months." Jenny said, her voice cracking.
"Oh. Well we should get you checked out." She said smiling. "I'll take you now." She said grabbing Jenny's hand and dragging her out the door. Dave began to follow.
"Stay here." His mother said. "And talk to your father." She said closing the door behind her. Dave sat down in the chair beside his dad.
"Are you ok?" He asked him.
"I'm fine." His father said. "How could you?" he asked.
"How could I what?" Dave asked.
"Get your girlfriend pregnant!" He yelled.
"This isn't all my fault! She wanted to!" Dave yelled back.
"Oh? So you did what she wanted?" He nodded. "When?"
"What?" Dave asked.
"When did you guys...you know." He said.
"Oh. Umm. Like 3 months ago when she first moved in here. You guys weren't home."
"Where?" He asked.
"Umm...In the shower."
"Ok. At least it wasn't in my bed." Dave laughed.
"Of course not! If it was in any bed, which it wasn't, it would have been my bed." his father laughed.
"Well. I expect you to take full responsibility of this baby." His father said.
"I will! I promise!" Dave said. "I would never make Jenny take of it all by herself. I already lost her once. I don't wanna lose her again." His father smiled.
"Good." his father said. "Now. Help me finish your guys' room." He said standing up. Dave nodded and followed him.A few hours later Jenny and his mother were sitting in the living room watching TV when they came out of the room.
"Jenny!" He said when he saw her. He ran over and sat beside her.
"Ahh!" She screamed.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." She said laughing.
"Hey. Way to make me worry about nothing." He said crossing his arms.
"Honey, please be careful with her. There's a baby growing inside her and we want it to be healthy." His mother said going into her room.
"Sorry bout that." He yelled. "So?" he asked.
"What?" Jenny asked him.
"What is it?" He asked. She laughed.
"I don't know yet." She said rubbing her stomach. "But I'm hoping it's a boy." She laughed.
"Why?" he asked.
"Cuz I've always wanted one. Duh." She said kissing him softly. He smiled.
"Makes sense." She laughed.
"I love you." she said.
"I love you too." He said kissing her. "And I want to be with you forever." She laughed.
"We're only 17." she laughed.
"I know. But I love you more than anything. And I want to be with you and my child forever." He said smiling.
"I want to be with you forever too." She said.
"Well..." he started. "Maybe we can be." He said standing up, and then kneeling in front of her. He took her hand in his and looked her in the eyes."Will you marry me?" He asked holding out a ring. Her eyes widened and she nodded.
"Yes." She said as tears started flowing. "I will." He smiled and put the ring on her finger. He stood up and helped her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. She leaned up and kissed him. "I love you." She said.
"I love you too. So much." He smiled. "And now. We will be together forever." She smiled as he leaned down and kissed her softly.
