OOPS!
Chapter 6
AN: I'd just like to say thanks to those of you that followed this story and to BlueDreamer31 my first reviewer :) I hope you guys wont be disappointed with the rest of the story, I never actually thought people would be that interested in it. I wrote this a few years ago but it is quite short and I haven't done anything to it since I found it again. This chapter is insanely short so I will upload two today.

Sky
We walked in on silence. I didn't expect silence. I thought they would be shouting. Demanding to know where we had been and what was going on but there was only silence. It was unnerving.
We had walked past Trace, Di, Uri, Vic, Will, Xav, Chrystal, Yves and Phee all looking worried in the hallway. They were all told to keep out so it was just Saul, Karla, Sally and Simon staring at us in silence. Zed was holding my hand and carrying the bag with the tests in. Saul was the first to break the silence, "So Zed is this the explanation you promised me?" I heard Zed swallow next to me and when I looked up he was staring at me, he seemed to be asking permission, we had agreed not to use telepathy or it might make things worse for us. I nodded and he walked over to the table put the tests out and came back to hold my hand whilst our parents got up to see what Zed put on the table. Karla got there first and all hell broke loose.
Zed
Mom started shouting at me the moment she laid her eyes on those incriminating tests but I didn't hear anything she was saying. I didn't hear what any of them were saying I just led Sky over to one of the chairs and pulled her onto my knee so she could at least get away from some of all this by curling up into me. I wasn't paying attention, I was just holding Sky and staring. I was trying to get my head around the fact that Sky was pregnant. She was going to have a baby. My baby. My baby was inside Sky right now. We were going to be parents and our child was growing inside my soulfinder. We were going to be parents. We were having a baby.
I heard the words 'abortion' and 'adoption' and I froze, I felt Sky freeze up in my arms and I couldn't stand it any longer. I stood up, bringing Sky with me and everyone shut up to hear what I was going to say "Sky's pregnant. She's pregnant with my child. Do you really think we would get rid of our baby and your grandchild just because of our age and the fact that it's unexpected? No. It's our child, our baby not yours. Ours. We made it and that means we get to decide what to do with it. We're keeping it. This baby is ours, our responsibility and you can't possibly expect us to kill it. We won't." Everyone in the room had gone incredibly still until Simon spoke up "that's all well and good Zed but like you said its Sky's decision too and I don't think you've let her give her opinion." I couldn't believe Simon, he really doesn't think much of me anymore but to think I didn't take Sky's opinion into consideration… "I agree with everything Zed just said. We talked about it when we were in the car and neither of us even considered abortion or adoption. We couldn't give our baby away and we definitely couldn't kill it. And no, before you say anything I don't think it has fully sunk in yet, we only found out for sure tonight and I only told Zed it was a possibility this morning. All this yelling that you're all doing right now is pointless because the damage is already done."
Sky had tears rolling down her cheeks as she said this. As she turned to lead me out of the room my Dad stopped us with "I think you should know I'm proud of you". Proud?! How can he possibly be proud of us? He has spent so much time telling us to wait until we're married, or at least old enough to be able to properly look after a child, as in twenty's, and now he's telling us he's proud? I was stunned to say the least and I wasn't the only one. Mom, Sally and Simon all started arguing again until Dad shut them up saying "You didn't let me finish. I'm disappointed in them for getting into this situation but I'm proud of them for taking responsibility for their actions and doing the right thing." He sighed before he continued "It's late I think it's time we all got some rest"
I wanted Sky to stay but everyone except us two agreed it would be better if she went home.
