Hey guys here's the next chapter and I hope u guys like it and I also hope you guys liked the last chapter and its cliffhanger…
MONDAY FREE PERIOD
Jerome POV
Last night I had called my mom and told her that I was "failing" a class and the reason why was because of the teacher having a grudge against me and if I knew my mother she would come right to the school because she hated when anyone challenged The Clarks in anyway. Of course that's what she is thinking at this moment…. I was holding Mara's hand when we walked in the living room were my mother was and Mara's parents were… my mother Lillian was tall and white with blond hair always in a perfect bun dressed in a really gray suit with black high heels shuffling papers and handling her brief case… she would always act and be professional no matter what even when dealing with her kids or any emotional, crazed, or even crappy like situations… I remember when I would get in trouble she would talk to me in such a voice that it sounded as if she was talking to one of her employees she was about to fire…. but never mind that, it was time…
Mara POV
As I walked in the living room with Jerome I saw my parents my beautiful mother May wearing her silky scarf and her white loose shirt with some white slacks (or also known as fancy pants) my dad Robert wearing his black shirt and suit jacket and also wearing dress pants with dress shoes it looked like if they were on their way to a business trip. But there Jerome and I stood there until …
Mom (May) said… "Mara there you are my sweet child… oh how much I have missed you!" she ended with kisses.
Dad (Robert) responded with "hello my princess!" he said with a hug and a kiss on my forehead.
I finally responded, "hey mom hey dad, oh how much I missed you." I said with a great big smile.
I didn't know how this was going to go but it had to come out but the hellos had to come first.
"Well mom and dad you know Jerome right…I think you guys met him during parents week last year?" I asked.
My dad answers, "Why yes of course how could I forget the tall fellow…quite the joker if I remember correctly?"
Jerome answered, "Yes Sir Jerome Clark, but sir I have changed my ways I have turned away from the silliness with the help of your daughter."
Robert answered, "Is that so?" with a surprised look on his face.
I deliberately cut in saying, "Yup I did…um this is Jerome's mother Lillian."
As my father and mother along with me were saying hello and exchanging handshakes with his mom, Jerome took the situation into his own hands and said…
Jerome POV
"Excuse me but Mara and I would like you all to take a seat we have something important to tell you all," I said in a sincere voice.
Everybody sat down, the parents on one side and us on another...
"First I would like to say that Mara and I had been dating for a while now … Actually for about 9 months… and we would like to tell you guys that we know that our relationship status is on a serious level and well we would also like to tell you guys that well….. (I was cut off by Mara's mom)
"Oh my goodness don't tell me Mara that you are… oh my no not again. Mara you know what has happened, you have seen it, you have grown up with it that's why we sent you here to keep you away from these things," Mara's mom finishes in an disappointing look, when my mother finally asks…
"Okay What the Heck is going on here?" she asked very confused.
"I was here because you told me that you were …. (She was cut off by Mara's mom again)
"Robert its happening again but with Mara and she wants to keep it …I can see it in her eyes." Mrs. Jaffray finished.
"I just can't believe it, Mara how could you do this you've seen your sister even ask about the struggles she had, don't you remember?"
Her father and Mara just stayed quiet and calm when of course my mom had to ask again.
"Okay Jerome tell me what the hell is going on here!" she said very serious.
"Listen mom…. Mara's pregnant and we are going to keep the baby." I said with a firm tone of voice.
"What! Jerome Clark how could you ruin your future your life?"
"Especially with some slut!" She said without embarrassment.
Mr. Jaffray quickly retorted with, "Excuse me but my daughter is no slut, I mean it takes two to tango doesn't it?"
"No listen here Mr. Jaffray, if Jerome is involve it's because your little daughter here got him involve!" My mother quickly answered back.
"STOP IT NOW!" Mara quickly said before anyone had a chance to say anything
"Jerome and I both new what we were doing and it was a consensual agreement okay." Mara said as calmly as she could.
"I am sorry mother but, life happens and weather any of you guys like it or not we are keeping the baby and raising him by ourselves… right Mara?" I asked.
She answered, "Yes we are…I'm sorry mom and I'm sorry dad but it is our agreement."
"Mara I just don't know how this could've happened I mean that's why we sent you to boarding school to keep you away from these things to make you focus on your studies… but now this happens, I just want to know one thing and one thing only do you guys have a plan about this?" finished.
Mara POV
"Why of course we do…I know that you and mom like it when someone has a plan and its ready for action." I said happily.
"Well even though I am still angered about this situation if you've got a plan then let's hear it." My dad told me.
"Okay first thing is that Jerome and I of course are still going to be involve in our education, so we have planned to tell my teachers to give me the assignments earlier maybe 3 weeks of work so that way I can miss those 3 weeks and spend all that time with my baby. Second Jerome is planning to get a house, nothing big of course just 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms something we can feel comfortable in. Third… if you guys would like to get involve we plan to get 3 days to ourselves while you guys or Jerome's mom take care of the baby. During any school break such as winter and spring break given homework I will be advised at head of time, along with Jerome so we can spend the time with the baby. Forth, on summer vacations it would be great if we could go visit you guys for 2 weeks and then go 2 weeks to Jerome's mom Lillian's place. Then if this plan works until graduation then Jerome and I get a bigger place…and well that's it of course most of the plan does involve you guys the soon to be grandparents. Of course if you want to be involve anyway?" I said with great confidence.
"Wow sweetheart of course we are going to be involved and that is a very good plan…don't you think so Robert?"My mother said ever so kindly.
"Well that is our daughter for you…I'm very impressed of this we will support you anyway we can…and both of you came up with this plan?" My dad asked very suspiciously probably thinking that Jerome had nothing to do with the plan at all.
"Yes." Jerome and I said in unison
~~~~both my parents nod heads to each other~~~~
"Well then if you guys can come up with a plan and are ready to go then we are right behind you… at least you had a plan unlike well you know?" My mother said.
"Lillian what do you say can you be part of this plan?" My father asked her.
"Well I am all up for it…but of course where is the money coming from to buy this house?" She asked kind of snarky
"Well mother the money is coming from the bank account that you had set up for me." Jerome answered her question
"Jerome, now that money is for a rainy day only and if you two are going to focus on your education none of you can obtain a job but that money is for no use. So there is no way you are going to use that money you hear me…now other than that if get the money some other way then go forth with the plan I am willing to pay the tickets to be used for you two to come visit me and for you two to visit the Jaffrays' but nothing else maybe to spoil my grandson a bit but that's all okay." Mrs. Clark said very bitchy like.
"Now Lillian… don't be hasty now, we all have to pitch in to help our children some way." My mother said.
"Well okay then, when are you two even planning on getting this house and where exactly are you guys planning it to be located?" Mrs. Clark asked.
I answered, "Well we are planning to get it after the baby is born which is basically means that maybe a month before but we were counting on maybe the baby staying with my parents for awhile, while Jerome and I pack our things and leave the Anubis house… and we are planning it to be located close to the school…maybe and easy walk from here to there."
"Well you know buying a house is a long process...but I will agree to this I will help you find a house and get a great deal then I will pay half the house and Mara's parents can pay half as well, is that a good deal?" Jerome's mother finished
"Well so far so good." My father said.
"Okay then you two need to leave the room so we the parents can discuss how we are going to pay the money for your expenses." My father said with a firm tone
2 HOURS AND HALF LATER
Jerome POV
As Mara and I were sitting in my room discussing how this was going to turn up Mara told me
"Jerome thank you, for well doing this for me and calling your mom…Jerome I love you."
"Oh Mara I love you to and I would do anything for you no matter what?" I said with such a sincere voice
"Guys we have decided on the money issues and we have decided that we will pay for everything…but now for this to happen after you guys finish collage and get your jobs we hope you at least pay us back, so make sure you start an account and start saving up okay…that's the agreement do we all agree?" My mother said.
"Yes yes yes…a million times yes!" I said
"Thank you… all of you thanks you guys!" Mara said very excitedly.
"Well no we have to go tell Victor and Trudy." Mara said.
"Well not really we had a talk with them and well Victor was a tuff one but we told him that you would be out of house when you have the baby but you have the right to visit your friends but, you have to leave at 8:45 okay and since Trudy was an easy one she said you can come over for dinner anytime you want…but remember this is after the baby is born okay?" Mara's dad told us.
"Okay but this is so cool I mean thank you thank you! I kept on saying.
"I just have 2 more things to ask you Mara?" Mara's mom asked.
"Yes mother?" Mara said very kindly.
"How long have you been pregnant?" she asked.
"Well in total 7 months." she said
"Oh my goodness you aren't so far away are you…well here let me see the baby bump."
Mara lifts up her shirt so we can see her baby belly..
"Oh my now I see how you have hidden it so well huh?" Mara's Mom asked.
Mara answered, "Yes well for some reason I haven't gotten big and I don't know why, my doctor says that everybody is different and that I just got a small belly even though he said that my baby is healthy."
"Well Mara people are different, especially with their bodies but don't worry being big is not all its crack up to be especially with the stretch marks and all…but speaking about doctors you have been getting checkups lately right?" she asked with great worry.
"Yes mom I have Jerome has been paying it with the money he saved up from walking dogs with Alfie but the exciting news is that I'm going to have the baby shower next month so I hope you guys come." Mara said.
"Well of course we are but we have to go now Mara we have to go catch our flight…but we will be here when you have your baby shower okay goodbye sweetheart love you." Both Mara's parents said as they each gave her a hug and a good bye kiss.
"Well Jerome I guess I'll try to come to the baby shower but Jerome I wish you good luck, I to have to catch my flight I will hopefully see you soon." My mother said.
She didn't even give me a hug or a kiss but that's how she is and I had learned to live with that. But soon I will have my own son that I know will not go through the same things as I went through and he will have a father and mother who sticks right by him and parents who go to his little league games his graduation ceremonies and plays I will be there for him no matter what.
