"Calm down George." Anne hissed while looking at ass with worried eyes.
"I'm sorry I must have heard wrong, because I just heard that my daughter is pregnant so excuse me for freaking out! So don't tell me to calm down" George shouted to her soon to be ex wife and gave me and angry look. "And you, who the heck are you?" He screamed.
"I'm Ricky Underwood, sir. I used to date your daugter." I offered my hand once again to him and one again he just shook it off.
"I know your name alright, you've told me it five times by now. The problem is that I know nothing about you, and you supposedly dated my daughter. Then how come I never saw you, not once?" He kept going and going. He had been shouting at everyone for the last half an hour, from the minute Amy told about her pregnancy. I gazed at her and saw the tears in her eyes, she was forcing herself not to cry. I took her hand and soothed it. It was my way to show her it was going to be alright. She gave me a weak smile and dropped her head. The words that his father yelled were killing her. I knew I had to do something about it, but I couldn't come up with anything.
"Look sir, I'm sorry to bail on you, but me and Amy have a date, we are going to get ice cream, so if it's okay we'd like to go now?" I suggested, clearly making a mistake as George's face started to turn even more red.
"You? A date? Are you kidding me? Why should I let Amy go anywhere with you?" He shouted and I gave up. Maybe the only way around this all was to let him shout, until he was tired to do it anymore.
"George, they are only going to get ice cream." Anne said. "And it's not like she could get Amy pregnant again." She added, which earned a glare from George.
"How come you are so calm woman, I though you'd be crying and blaming yourself." George murmured.
"Oh I've known for weeks." Anne said and shook her hand like it wasn't a big deal. "The morning sickness, she can't fit into her old shirts properly, she doesn't moan about her pain when she has her period, and she could eat a cow, it didn't take long for me to see that she's eating for two." She explained smiling.
"Whatever I can't take this right now." George shouted for the one last time before running out of the room and the whole house actually. Amy wiped her tears and gave another smile for us.
"He took it better than I expected." She smiled and made me and Anne laugh.
"So how about that ice cream?" I asked.
"I'm sorry Ricky, I'm just no up for it right now. I feel like going in to bed and sleeping like for the next 48 hours." She smiled and have me a hug. I nodded and watched her go upstairs. She was so beautiful, even when she was incredibly depressed and sad.
"I think I'm going to go then." I said to her mother and shook her hand.
"For what its worth, I think you and Amy will be great parents." She smiled to me and I gave her the smile back. It was good to know that someone was supporting me. Now the next step was to tell my parents, foster parents that is. If it's up to me I will never tell about my kid to my real parents, they would just fuck everything up.

My moms reaction to the news was kind of different than what I expected, actually I don't really know what I expected. I knew she wouldn't be surprised, she knew this was coming at some point. I though she would be mad, but instead she got worried, well and mad. But mostly she was worrying about how I was supposed to raise a kid.
"How are you suppose to raise a children? You are in high school, you don't work, you don't have your own place. You can live here, but there's not much room.. Oh my Lord what am I going to do with you." Mom was panicking and I got up to hug her.
"It's going to be okay, we'll figure it out." I said, but didn't believe it myself. We were kids, how the hell could a kid be a parent, it just wasn't possible.
"I'm so proud of you, you are being responsible. It's good to see that you aren't just bailing on this girl." She smiled. "So when am I going to see this Amy?" She asked and I shook my head, no way were they seeing each other.
"Well let's see, first Amy should actually like me and then we could think about this meeting the parents thing." I laughed, but I was dying on the inside.
"You met her parents." She pointed out and I nodded.
"That's only because I'm the only one there for her and she's not strong enough the handle all this alone." I smiled sadly and she gave me one more hug.
"We'll make it, trust me." She told me, but there was something in her tone telling me she wasn't buying it herself.
"Yeah I know we will." I kissed her cheek and squeezed her. "Don't worry too much." I laughed and left, there was something I needed to do. It was going to get dirty, really nasty, I was going to ruin her for what she did.
A Song About Promises
"Adrian!" I yelled and banged the door. "Open the fucking door!" But she didn't, she was ignoring me, because I knew for a fact she was inside there, I saw her quickly in the window. But she was too coward to actually face me.
"Excuse me?, can I help you?" I heard a voice ask me from behind me, I turned around to see a woman about 40 to look at me with curious eyes. I shook my head and faced the door once again and started to bang it.
"No, but thank you." I said, but she didn't leave.
"You sure?" She asked and I was really starting to get annoyed by this woman. "Because you are banging my door and shouting my daughters name, so are you sure I can't help you?" I stopped at that second and turned to look back at her.
"You are Adrian's mom?" I asked and her smile got even bigger.
"Why yes I am, and what would your name be?" She asked and I felt embarrassed.
"I'm sorry mam, I'm Ricky." I gave her my hand and she gladly shook it.
"So Ricky, you have something you'd like to talk about with Adrian?" She asked and I nodded eagerly. "Well if you tell me what it is, I might let you in. You see when I come home and find a young boy screaming my daughters name like that, it's a little frightening, especially when this is the first time we meet." She said politely and I nodded again. I went trough my thoughts, trying to gather them and decide what I was going to tell her.
"Adrian did a horrible thing today, and I just wanted to see her and know why. " I said truthfully.
"Oh honey, did she dump you?" She smiled and I hated her tone. What the actual fuck was she talking about.
"Uhm, no? Actually it was the other way around." I said, just wondering who would think that I got dumped, by Adrian of all people.
"Okay, well tell me this horrible thing my daughter did." She smiled again and it hit me that she didn't know Adrian. She thought Adrian was a sweet kid, that could do no wrong. I sighed and sat down and she followed my lead.
"Adrian told everyone at the school that my friend is pregnant, even though she promised me not to.. and then she threw a smoothie on her and I don't understand why." A tear fell from my eye and I quickly wiped it away. I really thought Adrian was my friend and now she did this which made me just question about everything. I looked at her mom and she a shock in her face, she never thought, not ever, that Adrian could do something like that.
"Okay, I'll let you talk with A." She said and I heard the pain in her voice. I nodded and followed her inside. I walked straight to Adrian's bedroom and found her there laying on her bed and listening to her iPod. She didn't see me there, she was so sure that I would give up after a while she never thought about the possibility for me to get in. I walked to her and looked at her, she didn't open her eyes for a while but when she did, I saw he fright in her eyes. She as scared, that was good, she ought to be.
She took her headphones off and looked me. "What do you want?" She asked and I groaned.
"You know very well what I want. Why did you do it?" I asked her demanding the answer.
"Because that girl came between us. I don't know what you thought you felt last summer, but I'm sure it wasn't love. I'm mean c'mon clearly she's faking her pregnancy, or if not I'm sure you aren't the father." She laughed and I gave her a disgusted look.
"You don't even know her and still you humiliated her in front of the whole school, she just started there, do you know how she must feel like?"
"You are Ricky Underwood, you don't care what people feel like. Admit it. The only reason you are with this girl is that you think you got her pregnant and you are too proud to walk away from her." She looked at me intensely but I just shook my head.
"You don't understand. I love her, for the first time in my life I'm in love with somebody. I do care, I care her and the baby more than I've ever cared about anything. I may never have loved anyone before, but she changed my life. She made me see that it's possible for me to care. She is the sweetest person in the whole wide world and I'd rather die than live without her in my life, and she doesn't even have to love me back, just being the mother of my child will be enough, just as long as I see her, talk to her, know she's alright. I love her." I said.
"Ricky, I know you better than anyone. You are like me. Sure you say you love her know, but you know just as well as I do that in few months she will be old news and you'll be cheating on her. Do you really want to put her trough that?" She asked and with that she made me question myself. With a few simple sentences she made me think I could ever change, she got me thinking maybe she was right. Maybe it was too late for me to get better, treat someone well. Maybe I just imagined everything with Amy.
