Chapter Four

"Are you sure you don't want something to drink?" Lil asked Tommy shoving her drink towards him.

"I'm positive." he said with a smile pushing her cup away.

Tommy was staring out the window watching the kids who were out there playing a game of soccer. Lil walked towards the back door and opened it, walking back there and motioning for Tommy to join her. He walked onto the porch and took a seat next to Lil. A few minutes later Phil and Kimi joined them.

"This is nice" everyone turned their attention to Kimi "You know, everyone being back together. Phil and Lil reuniting after two years"

"Two long years" Phil said with a smile. "I never want to go that long without seeing my sister again"

Lil smiled at him and set her drink down "Don't worry, Phillip. You won't have to"

Phil was going to say something but his attention went to the kids when they started screaming. Everyone jumped out of their chairs and ran over to them to see Megan lying on the ground.

Lil turned to Noah "What happened?!"

"I don't know! She was fine one minute, and the next she's on the ground!"

"You should probably take her to the hospital" Kimi said putting a hand on Lil's shoulder.

"Is it really that serious?" Tommy said picking Megan up and walking towards the house.

"You never know, T. That's why you should take her." Phil said following him.

Lil rushed towards the house opening the door and then headed towards the from door. "We'll see you two when you get back."

Lil and Tommy walked into the hospital and got Megan a room. Tommy was starting to panic and Lil put a hand on his shoulder "She's going to be fine."

He up when their favorite doctor, Susie Carmichael, came walking out and looked over at them. She walked over and gave them both a smile "Lil, Megan wants to talk to you." Lil stood up and gave Tommy a reassuring smile before she walked to Megan's room, Susie following.

"Because she's underage, I gave her the choice to tell you this. I shouldn't have, but since I love you Pickles I went against my own rule." Susie said giving Lil a smile before walking away leaving her confused.

"What did she mean 'because she's underage'?" Lil asked grabbing a chair and pulling it to be next to Megan's bed. Megan started messing with her hands and avoided eye contact. Lil sighed "I can always get Dr. Carmichael to tell me if you won't." she stood up and went to leave but Megan stopped her.

"I'll tell you, just give me a second." Megan took a deep breath "The night of Homecoming, I wasn't late because we went to dinner and lost track of time."

"I figured that" Lil mumbled under her breath so that Megan couldn't hear her.

"We went to his house and well... You know. I ended up.. Pregnant."

Lil stared at her daughter with a hand over her mouth. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to act "I'll... I'll tell your dad." she said getting up to leave but Megan stopped her.

"Are you mad at me?"

Lil stopped as she reached the door and turned to look at Megan shaking her head "No, I'm not mad. I'm more shocked than anything."

She walked into the waiting room and Tommy jumped up and ran over to her "Is she okay?!"

She nodded and walked back towards the seats, pulling him with her. She knew now wasn't the time to tell him, but she also knew the longer she kept it from him, the madder he'd be when he found out. She still remembers the time that she told him when she was first pregnant. But it's different when it's your own daughter "Yeah, she's fine. She was just dehydrated, you know how that is." she hated lying to him.

Tommy sighed and looked over at Lil before grabbing her hand "Are you okay? You look down."

Lil looked up at him "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired. I can't wait to get back to Phil and Kimi's so I can sleep."

Tommy laughed and stood up as Susie walked into the waiting room. She handed him Megan's release papers and then she walked over to Lil, pulling her to the side. "Did Megan tell you?"

"Yes. And I'm freaking out. I don't know how I'm supposed to tell Tommy, or when I should tell him"

Susie put a hand on Lil's shoulder "You'll figure it out" she smiled and then took her hand off Lil's shoulder "You've never been one to keep secrets from him for long, so it'll probably just slip out."

"I don't want that to happen!" Lil said shaking her head.

Susie laughed as they walked back over to Tommy "You'll tell him when you feel is right."

Tommy looked up and at them "Tell who what?"

"Nothing" Susie and Lil said in unison. "I'll go get Megan." Susie said walking towards her room.

Tommy looked over at Lil and could tell by her eyes that she was worried about something "Lillian, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, why do you think somethings wrong?"

"You just look pretty worried." he said rubbing one of her arms.

"I'm not worried. I just really want some sleep." she said giving her his best fake smile.

Megan came walking out and over to them. She looked over at Lil and then at Tommy, and knew that Lil hadn't told him yet. "Are we ready to get home?" she asked and Lil nodded, pulling Tommy towards the door.

The three of them walked through Phil and Kimi's front door. Phil looked over at them from the coach and smiled "I'm glad she's okay."

"Yeah, me too. Phil, can I talk to you?" Lil asked walking into the kitchen and Phil followed.

"What is it?"

Lil looked into the living room to see if Tommy was listening "Megan's pregnant."

"What?!" Phil practically yelled "What do you mean?!"

"I mean, she's pregnant." Lil said quieter than before "I told her that I would tell Tommy but I don't know how or when. You remember how freak out he was when I was pregnant, imagine that but ten times worse!"

"I don't know what to tell you, Lil. I could always do it for you" he smiled at her.

"No Phillip, that's okay. Where are Tommy and I sleeping? I feel really exhausted."

Phil led her out of the kitchen and back into the living room "You two will be on the sofa bed. I'll get it out for you two."

Megan had already gone upstairs, leaving Tommy, Lil and Phil. Lil looked over at Phil "Do you think Kimi would mind if I borrowed a pair of her pajamas?"

"I don't think so. She's upstairs, so go ask her." Phil said pulling the bed out and then falling onto it.

Tommy sat down on the bed and then looked at Phil "I feel like your sister is keeping something from me."

"Why do you think that?" he asked sitting up.

"I don't know, I just have this feeling that she is." Tommy said running a hand through his hair before laying on the bed.

Lil changed and came back downstairs and climbed onto the bed, pushing Phil off "Goodnight, Phillip." she said with a smile and laid down.

Tommy turned over and put one of his arms around Lil "You were right Lil." she turned her head to look at him

"About what?"

"We do have pretty good kids."

Lil forced a smile before nodding "Yeah we do."
