Ok I'm finally updating this. Things have been hectic with school and all.

Just just so you all know, in a few chapters this story will be complete!

I don't own N2N


Henry and Natalie sat at the dining room table with his parents. No one was talking. They just sat there and ate. You could tell Henry's dad was getting a little annoyed. Half-way through the meal, he slammed his fork down on the table.

"Alright," he said, "I didn't come here to sit in silence. Somebody for the love of God say something!"

"How about no screaming at the table?" Henry's mother said quietly.

He ignored her. "How's school you two?" he asked Henry and Natalie.

"Good, really good," Natalie said quickly. "Stressful, but fun. But not too fun. Definitely not too fun at all."

"Uh, yeah, it's perfect," Henry said, eyeing Natalie. She wasn't ready to tell his parents. Definitely not ready. "How are you dad? I haven't seen you pretty much all year."

"Oh, well, you know, I'm busy with work," he said. "And then Katie had her baby. So it's one big balancing act. But the baby, his name is Thomas, is just a joy. He's so adorable and he does the cutest things!"

"Glad to know you're finally enjoying fatherhood," Henry said bitterly.

"So you were living with Natalie for a while?"

"Yeah, her dad's the greatest. He's really honest and open and respecting of Natalie. And he treated me like his own son. That felt really nice. You know, being treated like a son. Being loved."

"Henry, please," his mother interrupted. "Not now."

"No, go on," his father said pretty sarcastically. "Get it out of your system."

"Fine," Henry said. "Dad, for your information, you disgust me. After what you did to Mom, I'm surprised you'd even show your face in this house again."

"Now, Henry, I know you're angry with me but-"

Henry jumped out his seat. "Angry doesn't even begin to describe how I feel! How could you do that to her? To us? To this family? Did you not care about us at all? What about me, Dad? Huh? Do you even love me? Or do you favor the newborn with your little whore!"

"That's quite enough!" his dad shouted, also standing up. "The divorce had nothing to do with you. It was between me and your mother. Did you forget that she was willing to go along with it for all these years? It never changed how I felt about you. And you don't have to bring Katie into this."

"Oh, sorry! Sorry that precious Katie had to be sucked into this conversation! I'm sorry I could never give you what your new kid gives you. Sorry Mom couldn't give you what Katie gave you. By the way, what did Katie give you?"

Natalie couldn't handle all the screaming. It reminded her of when she was younger and her parents would fight about Gabe. She hated it, she hated fighting. Finally, she blurted, "I'm pregnant!"

The room went silent. "What?" Henry's mother asked.

"Yeah," Henry said. "Natalie's pregnant and we're leaving." He grabbed her hand and headed for the front door.

"Now wait a minute!" his father said, following them to the hallway. "You mean to tell me that you were screaming at me just then, criticizing me, when all along you got a girl pregant?"

"It's not just any girl, Dad. It's Natalie. My girlfriend? The girl I love? Oh, sorry, I forgot. You don't a thing about love."

"Well, don't go calling Katie a whore when I could just as easily call Natalie the same. They both got knocked up."

That was the boiling point for Henry. Next thing you know, he punched his dad right in the face. He stumbled backwards and hit the wall before sinking to the floor. His nose was a bloody mess. "Fuck you," Henry spat. And with that, he led Natalie out of the house and to the car, ignoring his mother screams from inside the house.

"Did that really just happen?" Natalie asked as they drove across town to her house.

"Yeah, I think so," Henry answered. Then he started laughing. "I just punched my dad."

"Well, let's just hope my dad handles the news a little better than your parents did."

"I think he will. He's always cool like that. Remember he let me sleep in your bed for all those months?"

"Yeah, but I hope this doesn't make him regret all that."

"It won't," Henry assured her. "He'll be totally fine."


"You're what?" Dan shouted. He stared at his daughter and her boyfriend in total disbelief.

"Um, having a baby?" Natalie repeated.

"You're pregnant?"

"Yeah."

"How the hell did that happen?" he screamed. "No, don't answer that." He turned to Henry. "You! You did this!"

"For your information," Henry said nervously, not wanting Dan to punch him out like he did with his dad. And by the look on Dan's face, he was pretty close to doing so. "Natalie was the one who wanted to have sex in the first place."

"Don't you dare pin this on my daughter! I raised her better than that."

"Actually, Dad," Natalie said, stepping in and filling the space between her dad and boyfriend, "Henry's right. It was me."

Dan's face fell. "What?" he asked.

"It was stupid and I know that now. I'm so sorry. It was the biggest mistake of my life. But please, please, please, please, please! Please don't be mad at me."

"I'm not mad. I'm incredibly disappointed in you." To Natalie, that was worse.

"I know. And you should be," she admitted.

"I can't even look at the two of you. I need some time to think all about this."

"What do you mean?" Henry asked.

"You're going to have to stay somewhere else."

"What?" Natalie asked.

"I'm serious, Natalie. I don't think I can have you in the house."

"Dad, come on. Where are we supposed to go?"


Natalie stood on an unfamiliar doorstep with Henry at her side. She had gotten the address almost two years ago. She wasn't sure if it was even right. She rang the doorbell just as it became eleven o'clock and the rain started to pour. Diana opened the door a few minutes later in a green nightshirt with her grey sweater wrapped tightly around her.

"Natalie?" she asked. "Is that you?"

"Yeah," she said. "Can we stay here?" Her eyes started to water. "Dad kicked us out."

"Honey, what's wrong?" Natalie couldn't answer, she just cried. "Come out of the cold, both of you. I'll make you some tea and then you're going straight to sleep. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow."


What do you think? Dramatic, right? LOL
