Buried Treasure (a boondocks fanfiction)

Beginning

This entire chapter is a flashback.

March
2 months after Huey departure.
No POV.

16 year old Jazmine DuBois was driving home with 14 year old Riley Freeman,Huey Freeman's younger brother.
"Yo Jaz I don't know how long you can hide this. You need to start talking soon."
Jazmine knew Riley was right. She couldn't keep this to herself anymore. She needed to tell her parents soon. She was just scared. She was scare of how they would react to what she had to tell them.
"So what you gone tell em?" Riley asked
"I don't know really"
"Well I'll be there with you"
"Thank you Riley"
But Huey should be here......
Jazmine wanted Huey because this was his responsibility too but he left her. All she could do was blame herself.
He probably left to get away from me. I shouldn't have made him kissed me.
That night shouldn't have happened.......
When Huey went missing Jazmine was a mess. She was so distraught that she couldn't sleep,she gained weight and sat at home and ate everything she saw out of emotion. She wore the same sweats and t shirt everyday and broke down about everything that reminded her of Huey.
There was something else too.
Not only did she eat so much and gain weight she was moody all the time, she had no energy for anything and skipped her period. She brushed it off as just stress for Huey's absence until one day........
Her head was in the toilet. She threw up everything she ate the day before 3 times that morning.
She finally came to the conclusion for what was going on with her and her theory was right. Last month she made an appointment,Riley went with her, and her doctor confirmed it.
She spent an entire week at home crying about what she just learned.
Today when she and Riley made it to her home she saw Robert Freeman was sitting on her mother's white couch. Tom & Sarah spent most of their free time helping Mr.Freeman looking for Huey. It was the least they could do.
The Freemans may have been a controversial family but they really are good people especially Huey. Huey helped Tom get out of jail and was the one who thought that ruckus and stinkmeaner should be friends which resulted in saving Tom(and themselves) from the demon.
Not only was he Jazmines best friend, he tried to help her get out of a bad deal when wuncler tried to exploit her with a lemonade stand and ever since he was her shoulder to cry on and was always there to advise her. It just killed them to see their only child so heartbroken.
Besides Robert shouldn't be looking by himself. He was getting older and Sarah was worried about him. He's done so much for them so they should return the favor.
Sarah walked in with some tea for Robert and sat it on the table for him. She spoke to Jazmine and Riley and sat on the couch right next to Robert.
"Mommy where's daddy ?" Jazmine asked her mother
"Your fathers in the kitchen. Get ready dinner is almost ready ."
Jazmine & Riley went upstairs to her room to talk more about her situation.
"Aye Jaz you think you ready to do this?"
"No. Not really but what choice do I have? The evidence is showing"
Riley knew she really wanted Huey to do this with her. He was angry at his older brother for leaving her to do this alone. That's why Riley was here to support her in Huey's place. Besides Jazmine was like a sister to him.
"Riley let's just go ahead and get this over with. Also I really appreciate you being here with me."
"Anytime Jaz. I'll be right next to you"
They went downstairs into the living room where Tom, Sarah and Robert were sitting and talking on the couch.
"Oh hey kids" Tom said greeting the 2 teens "dinner will be ready in a 5"
"Thanks daddy but before we go I have something really important I wanna share with everyone"
"Well go ahead peaches"
Jazmine started to get nervous.
What would daddy think? I've never done anything to disappoint him before.
No matter how old she got Jazmine would always the center of Tom's world. They was always so close. She thought he was the best father a girl could ask for. She was his little princess who could do no wrong until today.
"Mommy? Daddy? I just wanna say .......I'm......" she stopped in the middle of her sentence and cried her eyes out. Riley had to take her hand and say
"Jazzy it's going to be alright. You got this."
Tom,Sarah & Robert were all confused and worried. What could Jazmine have to tell them that could be so bad?
"Sweetheart what's wrong? You can tell us. Did you get into some trouble? Is this about Huey?"
Jazmine shook her head and took a deep breath.
Well here it goes......
"I'm pregnant."

Sarah  broke down into tears and Robert looked down on the ground. Tom was livid. He was furious. This type of thing just doesn't happen to girls like his daughter. His daughter was a good girl. Jazmine knew better.
"HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN."
"Daddy I'm sorry it just did I didn't mean it"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU USE A DAMN CONDOM?"
"Daddy! I wasn't thinking I'm sorry"
"YOU DAMN RIGHT YOU WASN'T THINKING"
"TOM!" His wife calls for him.
"Stop this right now. I'm angry too but the last thing we should do is make her feel bad. We should be supporting her."
Tom was highly upset but Sarah was correct. He should be helping his daughter get through this. She was still his only little girl. He just couldn't believe she would be so irresponsible.
" Now Jazmine, tell your father this some kind of prank right? Riley did you put her up this?"
"Naw Mrs.DuBois I wish it was a joke too."
Sarah saw that Riley was being sincere and he pulled out a sonogram.
"How far along are you?"
"The doctor said I'm almost 3 months and the baby's due in September ."
"Wait, so did you get pregnant in January?"
"Yes."
Her father finally calmed down to speak next
"Ok I'll do a better question............who is the father?"
Jazmine froze up like a deer caught in headlights
"Jazmine Elizabeth DuBois you better answer me right this instant!"
"Ummm"
"Jazmine just tell him." Riley urged her.
She took another deep breath
"It's Huey's. We were alone on New Year's Eve"
Tom just stood there thinking.
How did I not see this coming?
He knew the the two best friends was close and did everything together but he thought their relationship was that of a brother and sister. Thinking back on it now it was so obvious.
The way Jazmine would look at him. She'd followed him any and everywhere. They was always at that tree together.
How could I have been so oblivious? I should've stopped it from the beginning.
Robert,who everyone almost forgot about, freaked out and cried.
" why god? Why me? I'm too young to be a great grandfather. First that boy leaves us now this?"  He just couldn't believe cutie pie was going to be a single mother and it was all his grandsons fault! The old man fainted on the couch.
"Jazmine. Just tell us how this happened with you two." Her father asked
"It was New Years and everyone but me and Huey was at the wuncler party. The ball was about to drop and I asked him to kiss me for good luck. One thing lead to another and we had sex in his room. I told him I loved him and he didn't say anything. Riley found me alone and naked in Huey's room the next morning and that's how we discovered he wasn't there. I found out in February about the baby."
"So you knew you had been pregnant for a month and you hide it from us? For god sakes you had me buy you tampons!"
Sarah felt like had been lied to and betrayed. She always made it a point for Jazmine to make sure she can come to her mother about anything yet she didn't.
"Mommy I'm sorry! I was scared."
"Jazmine You should've told us the moment you suspected!"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry" Jazmine was crying hysterically. Her mother has never yelled at her like this. Tom stepped in
"Listen I'll wake up Robert and we can all move on to the kitchen and eat. Well finish this later."
.
.
.

After 30 minutes of awkward silence and eating at the dinner table Sarah decided to break the silence.
"Jazmine now you know everyone here loves you and your father & I will support you no matter what. Have you decided what you wanted to do about the baby? How are you going to raise it & finish high school?"
"I'm giving the baby up for adoption."
"WHAT!!" Riley had been there for Jazmine from the beginning but she never told him that plan. He really was secretly looking forward to being a big uncle. This baby was the closest thing he had to Huey.
"I already called cousin Cathy. She said I can stay with her in Washington until I have the baby and give it away."
"Why would you go over there just to have a baby?" Sarah asked
"Because I don't want anyone here to know or see me pregnant!"
"So you want to hide this?"
"Yes I do! I just wanna have the baby, find it a nice lovely family and pretend it never happened."
"Well we are here to support you no matter what you wanna do.We just want you to be sure this is what you want. " Sarah confirmed
Riley was beyond disgusted. Yes this was Jazmines choice but she was willing to give away her baby away to strangers like that so easily. Then she wanted to hide the baby. How could you make something so precious and not take care of it? Was she that ashamed she wanted to make it go away. He was still going to stand by Jazmine and support her but he was going to try his hardest to convince Jazmine to keep the baby.
After the 2 Freemans went home Jazmine was upstairs in her room listening to her parents argue about her. Her father saying things how Huey abandoned her and how it was his fault for letting them be alone so much. Sarah was worried for her daughters future. Would Jazmine still go to college? Would she be ostracized and miss out on everything every other girl her age was getting? What would people think of their daughter being gone for months?
The girl looked in her full length mirror and lifted up her shirt. She placed her hand on her small baby bump and smiled. Jazmine loved her baby but there was no way she could be a mother. She was only 16, no money, she lived with her parents that are constantly fighting and didn't know a thing about raising a child. She already messed things up for her unborn baby by not having the father around. She would love nothing more than to keep her baby and have something to call 'mines' but couldn't. She wanted the baby to always love her and never leave her but she would be selfish and living a fantasy.

" Baby, it's your mommy and I love you so much but you deserve so much better than me"
This baby deserved a mother and a father. It deserved a loving two parent home that could give this baby any and everything it needed. This baby deserved everything Jazmine couldn't give.
Stability.
But until she could find the perfect family she'll just love the tiny unknown person inside her.

"And you'll always be my little Treasure."
