"Michael... You're pregnant."
Three words.
Three words shattered everything.
He already knew he wasn't prepared to be a parent; he'd already had to send Vanessa away to live with Sean's older sister because neither of the boys were ready to father, but he was soon to be eligible to get her back.
What would he do with a second child?
Was he even ready for a first child?
It had been nearly six years since he'd given birth to and handed to Britney Park his baby girl, and he was financially stable since getting that job at the new Freddy's.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
(Three months later)
Ohhhh, this was bad. This was very bad.
Two months into his pregnancy he'd faced financial problems after having retrieved his eldest child from his baby daddy's sister, since he got fired and the place closed down. There was only a few options left for him, unless he wanted to use some more of the tons of money leftover from his dad, to send himself back to college to get a better job.
Obviously, he had thought of just taking the rest of his father's money, but he knew he had to save it, being the last member of the family who could gain income.
So, he was broke and now had a six year old and another kid on the way. This... was bad.
(two months later)
Five months in. He was now five months in and he knew he had to make a choice. He was now over halfway through his pregnancy and Vanessa had begun to be a little problematic. She was beginning to ghost Michael out, for multiple reasons but mostly that he refused to waste money on every new toy that came out in her favourite line. She knew he was in rough waters regarding money and that he only had so much of his dad's left to use. He didn't know how to get through to her.
He considered bringing her and himself to Henry's. His godfather was always wealthy, financially stable, and he was willing to help out with Mike's pregnancy the first time around. Hopefully, if he could get a hold of him, he'd have a place to stay and a real man (slash father figure) to help.
Not to mention Henry always seemed eager to have Mike around since his own baby girl passed. Maybe having him and a little girl of Mike's own would be beneficial to the older man. And he might be able to knock some sense into the young child.
If only he could find his godfather...
(three months, two weeks later)
Okay, now this was bad.
Absolutely catastrophic.
On the good side, he finally figured out who the baby daddy was; or, should I say, the baby mommy. Lecia Maxen, aged 25.
On the bad side... he was two weeks to due, and he hadn't been able to get in contact with his godfather at all; he was absolutely poor even with dipping into his father's savings; Vanessa wasn't trying to make his current parenthood any easier for she would incessently misbehave, and actively make things harder around the house just to make a point (though what point she was trying to make Michael had no idea); he'd even be having problems reaching out to Lecia herself for reasons unknown. His entire life was crumbling before him and he had nowhere to go.
