Deeper than a cut
Chapter 4
Simon and Jeanette walked out of the hospital in a complete daze, still trying to come to terms with the news that Jeanette is pregnant "what are we going to do now"? Jeanette whispered hoarsely, her throat still sore from the crying "I guess we're gonna have to tell everybody" Simon told her, handing her his spare helmet "I guess so" she said getting on to the back of Simon's Triumph Speedmaster125 motorcycle "ok…hang on and I'll give Theo a ring and tell him to get everybody to meet at your house" Simon told her, pulling out his mobile, he then called Theodore and told him to get everybody to meet at the girl's house.
"David…what is the matter with you" Ms Miller asked as she opened the door, after Dave had been knocking frantically for the past 3 minutes "it's Simon, I got a call from him, telling me to get everybody here, he was crying and he sounded really desperate" Theodore explained before Dave could open his mouth "oh god…David I'm sorry…I had no idea" Ms Miller apologized as she ushered everybody in to the living room, about 45 minutes later, everybody was still waiting for Simon and Jeanette to arrive, 5 minutes had passed when Alvin faintly heard the sound of a motorcycle getting closer "that's them coming now" he announced "how can you tell"? Theodore asked "you can hear his bike" Alvin answered, there was silence as everybody listened to the sound of the roar of Simon's bike getting louder and then die down and the stop completely, 30 seconds later Simon and Jeanette walked into the living room to find everybody's eyes fixed on them, after sitting down opposite everybody, "guys, we have something to tell you…but when we do please don't be mad" Simon told the group "ok" they muttered "well I guess I have no choice now but to tell you all that I-I-I-I'm p-p-pregnant" Jeanette announced.
There was a stunned silence for a few minutes before Dave rushed over to Simon and Jeanette and embraced both of them, Simon and Jeanette then both broke down, this was the signal for everybody to go over to comfort Jeanette and Simon, once everybody was sitting back down and Simon and Jeanette had stopped crying Simon went on to explain the events leading up to this moment " we're so sorry" Jeanette sobbed when Simon finished "awwww come on Jeanette, you have nothing to apologize for…nobody could have seen this coming" Ms Miller told her, everybody then started to discuss Simon and Jeanette's options and what they were planning to do.
Later that night, Simon was sat alone on the rooftop, thinking about the surreal events of the past few days "I need to talk to somebody" Simon whispered to himself, he then quickly racked his brains and came up with one person, so he picked his phone up and dialled the number he wanted "hi Jillian…I just need to talk to somebody and you are the only person I can talk to about this…well it's about Jeanette, in all honestly…well… she's p-pregnant and I am totally shit scared, I have no idea what I am going to do…we don't know what we're going to do yet…thanks Jillian… look I got to go but I'll see ya tomorrow…bye" Simon hung up and went inside to get ready for bed.
