Can he be fixed?

(25)The news from unexpected guests

Ricky's POV

Today was the last day of school before spring break and the last time I would be seeing Ej, my friends, and my dad for a solid week. It was absolutely horrible. But I couldn't think about this now, we had only a few short weeks until the theater gang and I were going too be putting on beauty and the beast, which that meant squeezing in practice whenever we could. So there we were an hour after everyone else had left the school, spring break for most already had commenced. But for the theater gang we began our how most theater dorks do, on the stage practicing away for the show that would be happening just a few short weeks after we get back from spring break.

But for now that was all out of our minds as we spent these last couple hours together on stage being who we are, and doing what we love, everyone except of course Ej and I. Ever since 2 weeks ago when my dad had reminded the two of us that I would be leaving on the last day of school before spring break too go with my mom, he hasn't really left my side. Wether it meant picking me up early from my house too hangout before school, or begging our parents until he is finally aloud too stay over for the night. Usually using the homework excuse, or just begging and begging about some random reason until they finally give up and agree. But here we are now on stage acting how theater dorks act, while calling out lines too one another while building the sets that we needed throughout out Beauty and the Beast.

By the time Miss. Jenn called out a 10 minute warning for when we were leaving, we had built almost the whole 'Something There' scene made and tried too figure out how too make the beast transformation work on me. But we couldn't find anything too actually hold me up in the air yet. So as we cleaned up we all said our final goodbyes as we made our way out the door of the school, and went our separate ways. And thats when a very unexpected call from my dad.

*The Call-  D-Dad, R-Ricky.* D- Hey Ricky, so there are some visitors at the house here too talk too the both of us. I know you wont want too talk too them, and today is already going too be a mess for you but I need you too talk too them. R- Dad who is it? Who is at the house? D- I think it's better that you see it for yourself, and please promise me you will talk with them and see what they have too say. R- Okay I promise I will be home soon, Ej will be giving me a ride. Can he stay? D- I'm sorry Ricky but I think its better if you don't have Ej stay, he can bring you home but this is a more private matter that all of us need too talk about, and right now you shouldn't involve Ej until you hear what it's about, okay? R- Okay I will be home soon, I love you. D- I love you too son.

After I hung up the phone I looked over too find Ej stand by his car waiting for me while a concerned look on his face, once I got too his car I just shrugged my shoulders and told him that I had too go home. Nodding his head with the same look on his face he opened my door for me before getting in himself. Then smiling at me he kisses my cheek before starting the car and starting too drive back too my house. On the way back Ej blasted one of my favorite playlists that he has on his phone, as we both screamed at the top of our lungs, just trying too forget about what was about too happen. But before we knew it we had pulled up too the outside of my house were I saw car parked outside. Confused I figured my mom was early with a new car as I got out of the car walking into the house with Ej. But as soon as I opened the door my mouth dropped. Nini.

I didn't know how long I stood there staring at her but when I finally was able too talk my anger took over as I asked "What are you doing here? First you break up with me. Then I find out over the phone during a truth or dare game that you were cheating on me before we even broke up. You have no right too be here and I don't want you here, please leave." At first I though you would blow up on me the same was I had just done on her but calmly she asked me too sit down, as I noticed both her moms standing behind her acting very nervous. "Ricky I came here because I have some news. Do you remember that night when my moms had left the house and you had come over and we had..... done stuff?" Nodding my head I stared at her as the realization started too sink in. Looking down at her stomach I saw a bump, bigger then usual, now I am not a person too judge or make assumptions but thats not usually how people look when they eat too much. Nervous I look back up at her as she says "Ricky I took a test and well, I'm pregnant." Shocked I stumble back right into Ej, who looked just as shocked. "I took it about 8 weeks ago, I just didn't know how too tell you so I took some time too try and figure it out. I'm 17 weeks along andI'm due right around the end of school." Shocked I just stare at her  as she just continues too talk.

"But the thing is these kids were not part of my plan, I can't raise kids when I'm trying too achieve my dream, so I am giving you the decision, I will sign over custody of them over too you if you choose too take custody but right now kids can't be apart of my plan." Then the realization hit me "Hold on you keep on saying kids." Looking at me she laughs nervously before saying "Ricky I'm pregnant with triplets." As she says this my face goes white. Triplets, she's having triplets, I'm having triplets, I would be raising triplets. My Brain goes blank as I try too think about how I would raise 3 kids on my own, with no mother for the children too look up too. With my parents custody agreement I don't know how I would be able too parent and raise all three. But I couldn't just leave them, there my own blood. There mother was already leaving them for some reason and I couldn't abandon my kids, that not who I am. So looking at Nini with a straight face I say "where do I sign."

As I say this Nini looks at me shocked as if I wouldn't have wanted too keep my kids and not let them. As if I would also want too give up on our kids, our own blood. Sighing she got up and grabbed a paper " This signs legal custody over too your dad until your 18, and will protect right between all of us. Making it so if things go south the babies go too the right parent." Nodding my head I agree as we talk about when the due date was and when she would be coming back too Salt Lake too have the babies. We decided that for the best we would laying low for a little and not telling anyone who was in the musical incase they were too freak out. After we finalized everything with one last nod too each other Ej and I walked Nini too the door and stood together as she left. Once she drove away I looked at Ej and fell into his arms in shock. Looking at my dad I sigh and ask "What am I gonna do when I'm with mom?"
