Marnie's P.O.V

Paul almost dragged me to my house. He was in a hurry to tell my mother our news.

"Paul, I'm not sure about this" I said

"She approves of our relationship, doesn't she?" Paul said

"Yeah but that doesn't mean she'll approve of us getting married" I said

"Well it doesn't hurt to tell her. If even she says no, I'll run off with you and marry you" Paul said. I let out a sigh and opened the door. Mom was in the kitchen, making herself some tea.

"Marnie! I thought you were at Paul's for the night" mom said. She took notice of Paul.

"Oh, hi Paul" she said

"Hi Lydia" he said.

"What are you two doing here?" mom asked.

"We have something we'd like to tell you" Paul said

"Okay. What is it?" mom asked

"You might want to sit in the living room" I said

"You two go and wait for me. I'm going to wait until my tea is finished" mom said. Paul and I went into the living room and took a seat on the couch. Mom came out a few minutes later with her tea. She sat on the chair opposite us.

"What do you need to tell me?" mom asked, sipping her tea.

"We're getting married" I said. Mom choked on her tea and started coughing. I walked over to her and started patting her back.

"Are you alright mom?" I asked

"Yes, I'm fine but you two getting married? You've only known each other for two weeks!" mom said

"Well, there's more to it mom. I'm also pregnant" I said

"Pregnant!? But you're seventeen!" mom said

"You were pregnant with me when you were sixteen" I said

"I know but..." mom said, trailing off.

"But what?" I asked

"Never mind that. Is this baby Paul's?"mom asked

"Yes. He's the only one I've ever had sex with" I said

"And are you two absolutely sure you want to be married?" mom asked.

"We're positive about this mom" I said

"Paul, are you marrying Marnie because she's pregnant or for love?" mom asked

"I'm marrying her because I love her. I always will" Paul said.

"Alright. Then you have my blessing, even though I shouldn't be giving it to you" mom said. I hugged mom.

"Thank you mom!" I said

"Now, how are you planning on telling your father?" mom asked.

"Oh, uh..." I said.

"That's what we're trying to figure out" Paul said
