I'm Pregnant...and I'm Only 15 {Part 2}

It had been three weeks since August found out she was pregnant. In those three weeks, a lot had happened. She hadn't told Jon or her mother yet, and she was afriad Jon would hate her if she did. She had met his parents (who really loved her), celeberated her birthday together, and even gone on a road trip with some other kids from their school. SHe knew they could trust each other, but would that be true after she dropped the P-bomb? August still wasn't sure, but now was definitley the time to tell him.

One week earlier,I found out thatmy mother (a single parent who lived with her only daughter) had been killed a horrible car accident.I was riddled with rage, fear, and sadness all at the same time. NowIhave so much onmy hands and so much to worry about:
1. Where wouldI live ifmy mother was gone and my didn't have a full-paying job? I've been sleeping at Ashley's house with the thingsI decided to keep from my old place. But couldI stay there?
2. HowwouldI afford anything?I haveno job, and only $8,046 dollars left from the thingsI sold and the family's money. Its a lot for now, but eventually it would run out.
3.I still hadn't told her mom about the baby andI'm feeling extremly guilty
4. All this stress would put pressure on the baby and that could be harmful, right?
Jon's been more supportive than ever. I still wonder if that will change today, thoguh. Because I'm finally going to tell him I'm pregnant.

LATER 3:15p.m AFTER SCHOOL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Hey August! How're you feeling?"Jon ran up and asked me after school let out.
"Oh, uh hi Jon."
"What's up? You seemed a lot happier yesterday. Is something else bothering you?"
"Well..."
"Come on, baby. You know you can trust me. I'm here for you! No matter what."
"See that's the thing." I said, pulling him into the neighborhood park. I sat down and leaned against a tree, causing Jon to follow. He sat down and reached out for my hand. He held it softly and spoke so sweetly and gently I wanted to melt.
"You do trust me, don't you Aug?" He asked. still holding my hand.
"Yes. Uh, of course I do."
"You don't sound too sure. What's going on? I have a bad feeling."
"Listen Jon, I need you to just listen to me and please, please, please don't freak out."
"Okay. Shoot."
I took a deep breath and looked down at my hands, pulling them underneath me. "Jon, you remember that day outside of school when
we- you know."
"Yeah, of course." He smiled, then it faded away.
"Well that was both of our first times, right? We lost our virginity to each other, right?"
"Right. That's right." There was a worried look on his face, but I kept going.
"Well then, I'm absolutley sure when I say this." I took another deep breath and looked straight at him.
"I'm pregnant, Jon." His mouth dropped. "With your baby."
His face grew red, and he looked away. I looked away, too.
"Fuck, we should've been more careful."He muttered with his hands over his face. Then he turned and looked at me. "What are we going to do?"
"Jon, I think you know what I'm going to say." I looked directly at him.
He touched my knee, and faintly smiled. "Well we are not getting an abortion. Definitley not."
"We?" I asked hopefully as my face lit up.
"That's right. Like I said, I'm with you all the way. I'll be there. We can go through this together." We smiled and hugged. Then he kissed me on the cheek.
"August. I know you won't have anything to worry about, but my parents-" He stopped when my face fell. "August I'm sorry about what happened, but my parents won't be too happy when they hear what's going on."
"Its okay, Jon. I'm slowly getting over what happened. I mean we weren'tthat close, and I'm pretty fine about it now. But I have to tell your parents. They're like my parents to me."
"We'll tell them together." Jon, said, and we got up and walked on.

LATER AT JON'S HOUSE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"So what's this you want to tell us sugar?" Jon's mom asked, sitting down on her ultracool beanbags with her husband. They were always so accepting, but right now they looked worried.
How will they take it? They'll be so ashamed of me, their only son. Jon thought, holding my hand as we stood in front of them.
Jon and I exchanged glances and I cleared my throat. Jon was silent.
"So, uh, mom. As you know, umm, we have something to say... uhhh, August?" Jon stuttered. I squeezed his hand and gave him a "come on" look.
"Morgan. Kathy." We had gotten used to calling each other by first names. She smiled worriedly. "Jon and I...you see...we uhh have to tell you something very important."
"Of course. That's why you called us here, isn't it?" Morgan joked, laughing heartily like Santa Claus.
"Dad." Jon looked at and he instantly quieted. "Look, we're sooo sorry about what we did, but boy are we paying for it now!"
"Yeah! We..uhh...I'm" I fiddled with my hands for a secong then looked up at their anxious faces. "...I'm pregnant."
They were speechless. For a minute at least.
"Jonathan Morgan Ousten!" Morgan yelled, his voice ear-piercingly loud and commanding, and his face turned a bright red.
"Oh, my baby!" Kathy sobbed. "And you....August." She ran over to me and pulled me intoa giant bear hug. "My other baby! Oh you dear! You know you're like a daughter to me!" She said in between loud sobbs.
"What are you going to do with the baby?" Kathy asked, still crying uncontrollably.
I opened my mouth to speak but Jon was ahead of me. "We're-" I started. "-we're keeping it." Jon finished.
Then he looked at me and smiled faintly. His dad was still screaming his fucking mouth off at him. It wasn't often that I heard him curse, but he could really go! He pulled Jon upstairs but I could still him.
"YOU FUCKING IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO? YOU PROBABLY RUINED THE POOR GIRL'S LIFE! DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING CLUE HOW HARD IT IS TO RAISE A KID? YOUR MOTHER AND I WORK OUR ASS OFF FOR YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU KNOCK UP YOUR GIRLFRIEND, HUH? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FOR HER? DO YOU WANT HER TO LIVE A CRAPPY LIFE BECAUSE OF THE STUPID, CARELESS SHIT YOU DID TO HER? YOU STUPID KID!"
Wow.
Jon came back down the stairs, his head hanging and his mouth dropping as far as it could go. He stepped up to us.
"I had no idea he could do that! I'm scared!"Jon joked, smiling.
"You are such a bad boy, Jonathan. You know how much work this is? *sigh* Go take a walk dears. Give my husband and I a minute. Come back in a half hour.
A half hour later, we were back. We walked through the door hand in hand. Morgan must've seen, because he looked and said, "You two really like each other, huh?"
"Like?" Jon exclaimed. "I love my girlfriend."
!!!
He had never said that before! Wow!
"And I love Jon."
Morgan smiled. "Well that settles it."
"Settles what, dad?"
Kathy spoke up. "Your father and I got to talking, and we decided that we'd support you, and that since August here needs a place, it would be best to stay with us. We have an guest bedroom you can use as your own. It'll be the best for all of us. After all, we love you, August. You're always welcome here."
!!!!!!
I was in shock! It was kinda wierd after what's been going on, but I could definitley say that this was the best day of my life!! At least- so far...
