"Brad...let go," I demand as I can still see the rage in Brad's eyes continuing to swirl around like a pool.

Brad lets go of my arm and leaves a temporary red mark.

"Why weren't you going to tell me?" he demands to know.

"Because I didn't know how! I didn't even know how to handle it myself! That's why Michelle was here trying to comfort me, which wasn't working because in the back of my mind I still knew that it was going to happen!" I nearly yell as tears cloud my eyes and coat my voice.

"Bullshit!"

I wipe the tears from my eyes and began to grow tired of this. Grow tired of life kicking me down and leaving me on the curb. I put my foot down and stand up to Brad.

"You're right! Of course! I couldn't even fucking handle it myself! Stop being a child and stop being so selfish! It doesn't just affect you!" I shout.

"You know what? Now you can Shout About It!" I use Brad's title of his song against him to my advantage.

"You're so fucking stubborn!" Brad yells as Kaiden walks in the room, probably being able to hear us from wherever he was.

He shoots me a glare of defense and I calm him down, having him leave us. He closes the door and I look back around to Brad who's eyes no longer have the anger that was building up, but the small white flag of truce waving back and forth.

Brad takes a deep breath in, collecting all his thoughts on this subject. He pulls me towards his chest and he kisses the top of my head apologizing for his behavior.

"It's okay," I say.

"No, it's not. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. I'm sorry...I love you," Brad says.

"I love you, too."

He sits me down on the bed. "We have to do something, though," he says.

"I know, just don't know what," I truly don't.

"It's okay, baby. I'm going to be here every step of the way," Brad assures and I smile.

"But, I'm going to be a dad," Brad says with a big smile.

"I know," I smile and Brad holds both of my hands.

"And babe, I'm not a kid. A kid isn't an adult; a kid isn't going to be a dad. A kid doesn't have a car, house, armpit hair, or a beautiful girlfriend like you. Everything that I have, a kid doesn't," Brad says and I laugh.

"Of course, baby," I reply.

"So, should we tell my dads then?" I ask.

"Yeah, I guess. If they don't handle it too well, you can always stay with me," Brad says as he kisses my forehead.

Brad takes my hand and leads me downstairs. A million things race through my mind as I take each step closer to facing the unknown truth. I don't know how my dads will react. We reach the last step of the stairs, and walk to the living room where everybody seems to be at. Kaiden's feeding Jamie, and my dad's are on the couch, watching TV.

I walk up to the arm rest of the couch and grab the TV remote and turn the TV off. My dads and Kaiden look at me with a look of confusion.

"Dads...we have to talk," I say as I bring Brad closer to me.

My dads sit up from the couch and look up at us.

"I don't know any other easy way to say this...but I'm...I'm pregnant." Once the words fall from my mouth and fall onto the floor like shattered glass, I can't believe it. I can't believe that I just announced that I'm pregnant to my dads and my brother.
