Telling Jay and Tanya

Author's note- I apologize for the late update, I've been having writer's block but I'm going to try and update this story more often.

Lauren couldn't believe what she was hearing, her little sister Abi was pregnant and it came as a big shock to her as it did Abi.

"What am I going to do Lauren, I can't tell dad because he'll kill me" Abi said almost in tears as Lauren pulled her into a hug, reassuring her that everything was going to be ok and that she was going to support her through all this.

"And what about Jay, what do I tell him?" Abi asked "he might not be ready to be a dad yet."

"I'm sure he'll be ok with it" Lauren told her "you don't have to tell him yet if you don't want to." Abi nodded and suggested that they should get back before Max and Tanya start wondering where they were. When the girls got home, Max Abi how she was feeling and she told him that she was feeling a little better after some fresh air.

"That's good to hear darling" Max said as he pulled his youngest daughter into a hug and not knowing that she had another little person growing inside her but Abi was too scared to tell him because she did not know how he would react if he found out that his little girl was pregnant.

"You ok Abz, you're very quiet" Max pointed out.

"I think I'm just tired, I think I'll go and lie down for abit upstairs" Abi announced. Max nodded as Abi pulled away from him and left the front room but she didn't go upstairs, instead she went into the kitchen and texted Jay on her mobile which read

JAY

ITZ ABI, WE NEED TO TALK, IT'S IMPORTANT. She the shut her phone and slowly crept out the kitchen door andm et up with Jay in the playground near the arches.

"Hey babe, what's up?" he asked as Abi burst into tears and flung her arms round him.

"You do love me don't you?" Abi asked as tears fell down her cheeks, soaking Jay's t-shirt.

"What's all this about, of course I love you" he replied as he stroked her hair.

"No matter what?" Abi asked "because I've got something to tell you but I'm scared on how you'll take it."

"Babe, you can tell me anything" Jay replied "I'm sure it can't be that bad."

"I'm afraid it is" Abi said, her voice shaking "Jay, I'm pregnant." At that moment, Jay looked at Abi with a shocked look on his face and asked her if she was sure. Abi nodded and told him that she did the test earlier and it came back positive but she also revealed that she was scared of telling her parents because she was worried on how they would react.

"Are you angry?" she asked in a small voice but Jay broke into a huge grin and pulled Abi into a tight hug.

"I'm going to be a daddy" he said joyfully as Abi looked at him with a confused expression and asked him if he was ok about it.

"Are you kidding, I think this is the most happiest moment of my life" he said "come here you." He and Abi began to kiss passionalty for a little bit before sitting down on the swings, talking about the whole situation.

"My dad would kill me if he found out" she pointed out "I mean, I'm going to be Fifteen next week and he'll flip if he found out that I'm pregnant." Jay took her hnad and pointed out that she should tell him sooner rather than later because it would be a huge shock to him to discover her going to the hospital with what he would think was appendicitis or something then when he went to visit her, he would find her sat in a hospital bed, holding a newborn baby.

"Does anyone else know?" he asked.

"Lauren, she was with me when I did the test" Abi replied "she said that she's going to support me through it all."

"Well she isn't going to be only one" Jay told her as he planted a kiss on her forehead "because i'm going to by your side every step of the way, I'll come to all your scans, buy clothes and toys for the Baby and I'll be there at the birth. Hey we should get our own place after the baby's born."

"I'm not old enough" Abi pointed out.

"Don't be silly babe, you'll be nearly sixteen by the time our son or daughter is born" he said "and I'll look after you both." Abi rested her head on his shoulders, relieved that he was taking it all so well but still worried on how Max and Tanya would react if they foun d out about their little girl being pregnant but she knew that she would have to tell them sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Lauren had just told Lucy the news on being pregnant.

"Wow, I didn't even know Abi would be the type" Lucy pointed out "and I didn't think she'd end up with Jay, I always thought she would probably get with Ben Mitchell because they were always hanging around together when they were kids."

"Yeah but ben mitchell is gay" Lauren pointed out.

"Yeah fair point" Lucy agreed "so has she told your mum and dad yet?" Lauren shook her head and said that Abi was too scared on how they would react.

"I remember when I fell pregnant" Lucy said " I was too scared to tell my dad and when he found out, he started planning an abortion but I refused because I was planning on having the baby for Jane until I was being called all sorts of nmaes like slapper, tart, the lot so I decided to have an abortion and pretentened I had a miscarrage because Jane really wanted this baby." Lauren then began to worry that if people at school found out that Abi was pregnant then she would probably be bullied for it aswell.

Back at the Brannings, Abi was back at home and sat on the sofa with Tanya watching telly until Tanya decided to strike up a conversation.

"So hows this tummy bug you've been getting then?" She asked.

"It's not a tummy bug" Abi replied.

"Oh come on, it's must be something" Tanya pointed out "I mean, you not feeling yourself, getting tummy aches, being sick. Now that sounds like a tummy bug to me." Abi shook her head and told Tanya that it wasn't a tummy bug, it was something much more.

"Darling, I'm sure it can't be that bad" Tanya reassured her youngest daughter "now why don't you tell me what's going on."

"I can't" Abi replied, shaking her head.

"Why not?" Tanya asked "Come on, I'm sure it can't be that."

"Do you promise not to go mad?" Abi asked, her voice now quivering "because I'm going to tell you."

"Abi, I love you and no matter what's going on, nothing is ever going to change that" Tanya reassured her so Abi took a deep breath and revealed to Tanya that she was Pregnant.
