A Family At Last

It's positive

(Rain's POV)

"Hurry up Skyler! Ian and Jerome are waiting for us!," I yell as I walk into Skyler's bedroom. 

I frown when I see that she's crying, "Hey, are you alright? What's wrong?," I sit next to her on her bed and hug her. 

I see that she was holding something in her hand, "What's this?" I reach out and she draw's her hand back. 

"Please don't judge me Rain," she sighs and puts something in my hand. I knew exactly what this was.

"Sky? You're pregnant! But, but how?" I realize what I said and knew why Skyler was smiling. She can make a joke at the most serious of moments, I swear. "Ew, okay okay, never mind. Pretend I never asked that..." We burst out into laughter and she wipes away her falling tears. 

Once we are done with our laughter fest, Skyler takes one look at the Pregnancy Test and starts weeping again."How... how am I going to tell Ian? We're only 18. We don't have steady jobs and I know my family won't be happy about it. I'm afraid that he'll make me... have an abortion. I can't do that, I can't kill my baby, Rain. I just can't." 

I feel so bad for her, I couldn't imagine aborting my own child if I was in her place. I give her some tissues and she wipes her eyes and hugs me.

"You'll have to tell him the truth eventually. This isn't something you can hide, even if you tried. You'd gain weight and get sick a lot, you'll also get really moody. He'll know somethings up. When do you plan on telling him?"

She looks up at me."I'll tell him when the time is right," she sighs, "and this isn't the right time. Come on, grab your things, I think we've been in here long enough," she pauses and takes a deep breath,"Please act like this never happened. Also don't tell Jerome. Please, I want to tell Ian first." 

I nod, acknowledging her decision. I would probably wait for the right time too. We walk downstairs and outside to Jerome's Green Hummer h2. "Hey sweetie," Jerome says while giving me a kiss, "What took you so long?" 

I smile, "Oh, sorry, I couldn't find my swimming suit. But I have it now." I look at Ian, who's laughing at me, I think he would be a good father. I stare at Sky for a little bit, then put my bags in the back. I walk around the car and climb into the front seat and buckle my seat belt.

Skyler comes in and buckles up, "Are you guys ready for the best summer of your lives!? I know I am! Lets go Jerome, I want to swim!" Ian yells while tickling Skyler. We all laugh while Sky tickles Ian back. Jerome pulls out of Skyler's parking lot. Goodbye North Carolina, Hello Florida!
