Phil woke up and smiled as he remembered her reaction to the wedding dress.

they walked into the hotel room after dinner and there was a box sitting on the bed. Charlie looked back at Phil who was smiling.

"Looks like someone bought you a gift. Open it."

She walked over to the bed and opened the box. She couldn't believe it. "Oh my god, how did you do this?"

"Well, I saw you looking at the dress and I could see how much you wanted it and loved it. I couldn't deny you something you obviously wanted more than I've never seen you like anything. "And you're going to be beautiful when you wear it." She smiled.

"This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me."

He smiled and walked over to her. He gently kissed her. "I'm happy that you're happy."

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. He loved making her happy. He kissed her on the head and drifted back to sleep with her wrapped in his arms.

John and Jaycee woke up the next morning and got their things together. They had enjoyed their time at the hotel but now it was time to get back to life. And they had to tell their parents about the baby and their marriage. They checked out and headed back to their apartment.

"So, when did you want to tell our parents?" He asked when they arrived back.

"Maybe we can go visit them next weekend or we could just call." She said.

"Calling is good. That way your dad can't hurt me."

She laughed. "Why would my dad hurt you? He likes you."

"Well that was before I got you pregnant before we were married and in your first year of college. I know your parents wanted you to graduate first before marriage and kids. And I'm sure they won't be too happy about the sex before marriage either."

"My parents aren't stupid. I'm sure they know." She replied. "But I think calling is good."

"Okay, so when did you want to do that?"

"Tomorrow? Let's give it one day before we tell them." He smiled and kissed her.

"Okay. One more day."

"When are Phil and Charlie supposed to be back?"

"Tomorrow I think. I hope they're having a good time."

"I'm sure they did." She replied. "And I can't wait to hear it." She said as she heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" She said as she walked over and opened the door. "Mom, dad?"

"Hi, sweetie." Her mom said walking in. "We decided to surprise you and your brother."

"Um...Phil's not here right now. He's out with Charlie."

"Oh. Well, we can visit with you and wait for them to get back. Oh hi John."

"Mr. and Mrs. Brooks how are you?" John said to them.

"We're fine." They said sitting down. "So, Jaycee, how are things with you?"

"Well school is going good. I'm on the dean's list."

"Of course you are." Damon, her dad, smiled. "You're a smart girl. We have always been proud of how you are focused on your studies."

"Yeah." She replied as she and John sat down across from her parents. She pushed some of her hair out of her face.

"What is that on your hand?" Her mother asked.

"What?"

"That ring on your finger."

"Oh." Jaycee said looking from the ring to John. "John and I got married a few days ago."

"I'm sorry. You what?"

"We got married. I love her."

"I don't believe this. Why would you do that unless...oh my god! You're pregnant aren't you?" Alexia said to her daughter.

"I'm…" Jaycee sighed. "Yes, I'm pregnant."

"How could you be so stupid?" Damon said to his daughter. "This is your first year of college. You have a whole lifetime to have children." He got up and sighed. "We are very disappointed in you. How could you let this happen? How are you going to finish college with a baby?

"School has a daycare and I can talk to my professors about taking online classes so I don't fall behind. John and I both have jobs. We've thought this through. We love each other and we are going to be a family."

Damon stood up. "I'm just so disappointed in you Jaycee. We expected more from you. You had so much potential. I'm worried this will derail that." He looked at John. "And I trusted you to take care of my daughter. I knew you two were sleeping together. I'm not stupid about that. But I thought you had more intelligence and respect to use protection. You knew how much Jaycee had going for her. Smartest girl in school, dean's list, the highest GPA. How could you manage to get her in trouble like this? To derail her whole life. I don't think either of you is really ready for this. I think you should consider the options."

"Damon, what's done is done. We can't change it now." Alexia said. "Our daughter is having a baby and despite how much we disapprove, we should suppose her."

"I just want them to think about the options. There are plenty of couples out there that can take care of a baby."

"With all due respect sir, there is no way in hell anyone is raising this baby but us. Jaycee and I have worked this out. We don't need your approval." John said standing up. "I love Jaycee and I want this baby."

Damon looked at his daughter. "Do you feel that way too despite all you have accomplished and have yet to accomplish?"

"Yes." Jaycee said standing up by John. "I love John and I want this baby. We have talked about this. We know what we're doing. This is our baby and no one is going to raise him or her but us."

Alexia looked at her husband. "Damon, this subject is closed. They're married and having a baby. Now we have to support them."

"Fine. So, when are Phil and Charlie getting back?"

"Tomorrow. They went away for the weekend."

"Great. " Damon replied. "I think your mom and I are going to check into the hotel. We will come and see you all tomorrow."

"Okay." Jaycee said to him. Her mom hugged her and they headed out. Jaycee turned to John. "Well, I guess they made their feelings known. I hope your parents take the news better."

"I hope so." He said as he hugged her. "Do you want me to call them?"

"Yes." He nodded and picked up the phone and dialed his parents' number. He really hoped his parents took the news better.

"Hey mom."

"Oh hi baby. How are you?"

"Good. Mom, there's something we need to tell you. A few days ago, Jaycee and I got married."

"Married? Oh honey, that's wonderful."

"But there's more. We're having a baby."

"My first grandchild." She said. "I'm so happy. Your father and I will have to come up and visit you."

"Great. You're really okay with this?"

"Yes I am. Granted it's sooner than I would like for you and Jaycee. I would hope you guys finished college first before you took this step. But I'm happy and you both have my full support. And your dad's too."

Thanks Mom."

"Tell your sister I said hi and tell my beautiful daughter in law that we will see you guys in a few weeks for Thanksgiving. We're doing it at Grams this year."

"Okay. See you then." He said as he hung up. He looked at his wife. "They couldn't be happier about this."

"Good. At least the baby will have one set of grandparents." He sighed and pulled her into a hug.

"Your parents will come around. I believe that."

"I hope so." She said as she rested her head on his chest.

She hoped he was right. She knew her parents wouldn't exactly be happy about this but she hoped they would at least support her in this. It wasn't like she had planned for her life to be like this. She always assumed she would be out of college before she had children and got married. But she didn't regret this. She loved John and she was already in love with the baby. This was her life and she hoped her parents would come around.
