Chapter Thirteen: The Unexpected News
Three weeks had gone by and no such improvement from her sickness, but the symptoms had remained the same and her father couldn't put a finger on it. Caleb came by every day however to check up on her, besides it was the one thing he could do. But today was different, because Elizabeth had texted Mia to come over but to bring something and keep it hidden. She had Mia go to the local store and pick up a certain test, she had a hunch on what it was.
Mia walked up to the house and she knocked on the door, which Elizabeth's father had answered and he asked "One of Elizabeth's friends" and Mia nodded. She added "We're on the cheer team together" which Scott nodded and let her in, and Mia went to Elizabeth's room. Mia walked into the room and she said "Hey I'm here and I brought you the thing". Elizabeth replied "Thanks, you're a lifesaver" and she took the test from her.
Elizabeth went to her own personal bathroom so that she could use the test, she was humming to herself while she waited for the result. The results came back, she was left quiet and that was the fact the test had returned positive. She was only in her Junior Year, when she got up and left the bathroom now and Mia looked at Elizabeth now. Elizabeth sat down on the bed and she grabbed her phone and made a call to Caleb.
All she really could say was "I need to talk to you and quick" to which Caleb replied "I'll be there as fast as I can, I'm out with Ezra so he'll be with me". Elizabeth nodded and she said "I'll see you when you get here darling". When the phone hung up, Mia only asked "So what's going on?" and Elizabeth replied "Caleb's going to be a father". Mia looked at Elizabeth now and she said "You're?" which Elizabeth nodded in agreement now.
Meanwhile with Caleb and Ezra, Ezra asked "So what's going on with her" and Caleb shrugged before he said "I don't know we're about to find out". The two made their way to Elizabeth's place, once they arrived Caleb had knocked on the door. Elizabeth's father opened the door and Caleb just walked into the house now, he was heading to Elizabeth's room. Ezra followed behind him now after saying hello to Elizabeth's father.
Yet when Ezra had entered the room, he found his brother and Elizabeth hugging and he asked "So what did I miss now" and Mia had just given him the test. Ezra had looked at the test and he seemed speechless but he could see that his brother was handling this quite well. Mia just asked "So when are you guys going to want us to announce it on the fan club". Elizabeth only replied "If anyone is going to announce it" Caleb added "It'll be us".
Elizabeth stated "Hell if we have to we'll make a new account called Caleb and Elizabeth" which Caleb added "That isn't really a bad idea either love". Mia chuckled a bit before she said "Well, I think you guys should announce the news still". Ezra had chuckled a bit, however he asked "Does your father know about this" and Elizabeth said "No he doesn't, that's what i'm concerned". Yet, Scott had said "Concerned about what?" He looked at them confused now.
Elizabeth and Caleb had looked at each other now, then she said "Well father, there is something that you need to know actually". Scott only replied "Oh god your dying aren't you, I knew it was going to happen" Elizabeth replied "No father that's not it". Elizabeth sighed "I don't know how to say it but" However Ezra spared them and he said "Expect grandchildren". Elizabeth sighed a bit in relief with Ezra stating this instead of her trying to explain it.
Elizabeth was held by Caleb, the two weren't really expecting it and personally they had worried a bit however they had each other and that was all that mattered now. Besides, Caleb was going to be there for her no-matter what happens, he wasn't gonna abandon her now. Ezra had stated "Anyways you two, you guys gotta announce it to the fanclub now". Caleb sighed a bit, Elizabeth however had grabbed her phone and she tagged Caleb to the post.
Elizabeth had only posted a short and brief announcement and with that, the likes were quickly going up and speed and the comments were flooded. It had seemed like Julian knew that this was coming because of his comment stating how he saw this coming. Only by using the fact that Elizabeth was out of school for this long of time. Elizabeth's father did not know how to react really, because this truly surprised him but he should've seen it coming.
Ezra had leaned against the wall before he said "Now Caleb, you're gonna have to introduce her to our parents now because of this". Caleb replied "I know I will have to, I just don't know how to do it because we know how they are". He had added "If they don't like her, I won't like to change their opinion, but I will not leave Elizabeth on her own". Mia said "You really do love her" which Caleb nodded "Of course, I love her" and he held Elizabeth closer.
Mia looked at her phone because she got a notification from someone and she looked at the messages on the post and Julian asked 'So when does he pop the question'. Mia only chuckled a bit and she replied 'Whenever he gets a ring to do so'. That comment alone begins a chain reaction of people commenting on who'd go and such. Mia had stated "Your guy's fanbase has grown out of control now, jeez you guys are like the top number one couple".
Ezra had only taken a photo of Caleb and Elizabeth holding each other, which he just posted on the fanclub group and he had typed 'The "Secret" Couple'. Scott had come back to reality and he said "What happened I just like zoned out and such". Mia had replied "Long story short, your daughter is pregnant and such" Scott remained quiet. Scott replied "Well Elizabeth I hope you know what this means" and Elizabeth sighed a bit now.
Elizabeth stated "Let me guess I'm grounded now" and she seemed rather annoyed, as she had a hunch this is what was coming but Scott said "No, not that". Elizabeth had replied "Then what does this mean now father? You make this seem like it's an issue". Scott replied "Ugh, what I am trying to say is that you're going to need to take responsibility". Elizabeth stated "You make it seem like I didn't know that at all, Like I kinda figured that out from the geck".
Ezra had looked at his watch now before he said "Sorry to break things up but Caleb we gotta go now, our parents are expecting us home before them". Caleb nodded before he said "See you at school tomorrow babe" and he kissed Elizabeth and he left with Ezra now. Mia only said "Well this was a series of unexpected events" she chuckled a bit. Elizabeth looked at Mia now, and Mia said "I'll go now" and she left the house now leaving those two to discuss things.
All Elizabeth said was "I'm going to bed" she had pushed her father out of her room now, so she went to lay down on her bed now. Scott said to himself "Well at least she's back to her normal self so that's a bonus now" he chuckled a bit.
