"Do you think they will like me?" Zach asked nervously. "They will I promise. My parents are loving people." I said putting my hand on his thigh.

Right now we were driving to my parents house to tell them the good news. To be honest I am more nervous than Zach is. My parents are going to be so mad at me.

I am not married, I lost my virginity, and I am pregnant. To make things even worse Zach is like 12 years older than me.

I am actually proud of myself. I graduated high school and college a virgin unlike most of my friends. I have to keep my cool today not just for me but for Zach too.

"Layla we are here." I looked out the window and saw my parents house. "Are you nervous?" Zach asked. "No why would you ask?" I said trying to calm down. "Because your sweeting bullets." He said handing me a tissue.

I wiped my forehead and put the tissue in my purse. "I am not nervous I am just hot." I said getting out of the car.

We walked up the driveway arm in arm. We got to the door and rang the door bell. A few seconds later my mom came to the door. "Layla! It's so good to see you." She said hugging me. "It is great to see you too mommy." My mom stopped hugging me and looked at Zach.

"You must be the young man Layla told me about." My mom said smiling at Zach. "Young." I said under my breath sarcastically. Zach nudged me with his elbow.

"Yes. Hello my name is Zachary Quinto. It's nice to meet you." Zach said putting his hand out for a hand shake. "You don't have to be so formal dear." My mom said giving Zach a big hug.

My mom let us in and we walked into the living room where my dad was reading a newspaper on the couch. "Dear, Layla and her friend that's a boy is here." My mom said winking at me. I had explained to my mother over the phone that Zach was not my boyfriend.

Just a very close friend but, of course she did not believe me.

My dad got up and hugged me. "How are you Lay?" My dad said using my nickname. "I am good daddy." My dad looked over my head at a very nervous Zach. "This is your friend?" My dad asked curiously.

"Why do you know him?" My mother asked my father. "He's a famous actor dear. He plays Spock on Star Trek." My dad said smiling at my mother. "Oh yes. That man that Layla had a crush on in high school." My mom said looking at Zach again.

Zach looked at me and smiled. I looked up at him and started to blush. We all sat in the living room. "So where did you guys meet?" My father asked. We both looked at each other.

"Well dad we met in a bar." I said casually. My mom raised an eyebrow. "Well that is different." My mom said trying to sound nice. "What did you two come to tell us?" My dad asked trying to get to the point.

"We actually wanted to give you guys something." Zach said with a nervous smile. My parents looked at us confused. I grabbed a wrapped present out of my purse and handed it to my mother. I smiled at her as she unwrapped it. We had given them a picture frame with the sonogram picture in it. My mom covered her mouth and started to cry. My dad grabbed the frame from my mom. "Your pregnant?" My dad said shocked.

I shook my head with tears in my eyes. My dad looked at Zach. "And you are the father?" Zach nodded. "Yes Sir." My mom got up and hugged me. "I am going to be a grandmother." I smiled at my mom with tears falling down my face.

"Your not mad?" I asked. "Layla, you have a masters degree in Psychology, you have a great paying job." She looked up at Zach. "And you have a man that will be there for you. Right Zachary?" Zach looked at my mother.

"Yes mama. I honestly care about your daughter. I will do everything in my power to make sure that her and our baby are healthy and happy." Zach said confidently.

"I'm glad to here that." My dad said patting Zach on the back. "Welcome to the family." Zach smiled. "Thank you sir."

So we all sat down and talked. We had stayed for about an hour than we decided it was time to go. I hugged my mom and dad goodbye and walked to the car.

I turned and saw my dad talking to Zach about something. I got in the car and watched as the two of them talked. Finally Zach said goodbye to my father and came to the car.

"What did you talk to my dad about?" I asked while Zach was driving. He looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Nothing just guy stuff." Zach said with a smile as we drove down the freeway.
