tyler's pov
"tyler, office now" i hear a stern voice. may-li. could she know abou- no. no possible way. jody wouldnt of told her without me and she definitely wasnt in or outside the attic because she was with candi-rose having their daily discussion about how "her allowance should be raised because make up costs more then £20 a week"
"where were you and jody all last night? i didnt see either of you at all after dinner and i didnt manage to check on you because of taz being ill" may-li sounds really quite serious.
i swallow slightly and look her in the eye to avoid her being suspicious at the first thing i say "we were in the attic looking through some old stuff" this wasnt strictly a lie, we were, just not for that reason. may-li studies me carefully. "may-li come on! ive known you 8 years! im hardly going to lie about that am i?!"
"i hope not. okay i will trust you now, but if i find out your lying..."
"im not and you wont!" i shout and walk out of the office.

in my room with the door firmly shut, me and tyler are thinking of ways we can tell scott and may-li that im pregnant.
"i dont think theres ways jodes, we just have to come straight out with it"
"i would rather do it sooner then later, you know? i think if we wait like a month, then they might freak out even more compared to if we do it now" i glance at him and see a slow nod, a worried look plastered on. "come on ty, lets do it now?" i plead, wanting to get it over with.
"okay, fine come on!" i pull him downstairs and prepare myself for this conversation.
"only you have no idea! you say we can tell you anything but as soon as we do that your both going to be making calls to social services and going off on one about safety and concequences!"
i sigh. hes going to give it away any second now or they're going to get it out of him. no matter how much he attempts to keep it away from me, i can see how scared he is. i know we shouldnt hold a secret like this back, let alone have done anything in the first place, but they have got to deal with it because we are keeping this baby. im sure of that.

"CONCEQUENCES?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" may-li screams at us looking back and forth. as she does so i flop down and gives jody a look that i hope says "i know ive messed up but we're gonna be fine" only at this moment in time i think she finds it exceptionally hard to believe, from the worn look her face.
"concequences" she mutters.
"concequences" she repeats again.
from the office, i see everyone looking at us from the doors of the living room trying to work out what was going on. especially so serious to the point where the adults had to be in another room with the doors closed and blinds drawn.
"safety and concequences" i think at this point may-li realises.
jodys head falls onto my shoulder and i squeeze her tight.
"you dont think.." may-li cuts off hesitantly.
"they have to be. otherwise what else. it just all links up. jody not eating, them going off for hours, what tyler said" scott utters while naming each bit of "evidence".
"honestly and truthfully tyler, is jody pregnant?" scott asks when they comes out of the quiet room looking rather angry but also worried. i look at jody to see her looking back at me, giving a look to say "just tell them".
"yeah" i sigh. "jody is pregnant" i bite my lip so hard it starts to bleed. i grab jodys hand and she leans back, closing her eyes, clearly tired of the drama. i squeeze her hand so tight i almost worry its cut off her blood circulation, but she seems fine with it when she squeezes nearly as tight back.
"guys!" may-li grits her teeth. i look at her then at scott who is tapping away at his computer. "what are you doing?" i ask, worried hes writing up a report you have to send to social services when something this serious happens.
"reporting it" he sighs, stops typing for a second and shakes his head.
"unbelievable" i mutter. the last thing i hear from the office by the time im at the top of the stairs is the door open and close. i dont usually, and everyone knows this, but i was so mad i had forgotten she was there too and that she must be yelling inside for everything to stop.

i jump out of the sofa before looking at may-li to say something but nothing comes out. i open the door and shake my head at sasha as if to say "keep everyone down here please" and run up the stairs. she seems to get the message when i hear from the living room "okay come on lets go".
"ty? ty let me in" i repeat for what feels like the 10th time. hes barricaded himself in his room with the wadrobe firmly against it.
after a couple of minutes i hear the war. drobe move and the door swing open. what i see when i look inside was more then i could of ever expected. it was a side to tyler i knew i had never seen before. ever. yeah he can get angry and upset but what he had done was something totally else. he had absolutely trashed the room. and punched a hole in the wall. the only thing in the room that wasnt broken and still completely intact was a yellow box laying on the end of the bed. i pick it up and finger it for a second then lift my head to see tyler crying, eyes red rimmed. he looks down the bed at me and when he sees the box, sits up and takes it out of my hands. he opens it slightly and grabs the first thing on the pile of stuff. when i see what he takes out, the memories of that very day come flooding back to me. i was with tyler and rick most of the day. it was a card that read on the back:
"to tyler, thanks 4 not finking i am dum and beeing my frend. jody"
i had made the memory box because tyler had said that he had nothing of memories. and apparently carmen had burnt his birthday card? i never got told that story though. "sorry" he mutters and throws the box and card on the bed behind us. "i forgot you were in there too and-" i dont let him finish "sorry for what? its fine" i frown at him. he looks on down at the floor.
"the shouting?" he gives me a small smile and now is able to look straight at me.
"its fine ty, forget about it" we sit in silence for a second "we do need to go back down and talk properly to them though" i lean my head on his shoulder before he rests his head on mine.

Fanfictionnothing can keep jody and tyler apart. not even the rules. but 9 months of moving out, work/life balance and baby talk is a lot for both of them, can they take it all?
