POV Abbie

At midnight I get a call from my best friend Joyce.

J (Joyce ), A (Abbie)

J: A-Abbi-ie?
A: Joyce? Are you crying? Is everything okay?!
J: I-I told-d the!! They-y kicked me out!
A: Everything is okay Jo! Where are you?
J: I-In the p-park!
A: Okay I'll get you! Stay there!

I knew this would happen. I'll tell you what's going on here.
Well, Joyce is pregnant. She and Calvin, the most popular boy in our school, slept together.
I knew her parents would react like this. I have to be there for my best friend.
So I get up and go to my parent's room.

POV Rye

"Dad?" I wake up in at midnight and look in my daughter's eyes. "Ab? What's going on?" I ask her in a sleepy voice. "You have to get up, please. Joyce is in trouble. We have to pick her up!" "Okay...Ab. Let me some minutes to wake up." "Thank you dad!"
Abbie leaves the room and I get up of the bed. "Rye?" I hear husband's sleepy voice behind me. "Mike?" "What's going on here?" "I don't know. Ab just told me to pick Joyce up. She is in trouble or something." "Okay...when you come home again I'll make you a tea." "Thank you babe." I press a short kiss on his lips and change !y clothes.

After ten minutes I'm finally awake and on my way to the park. When we arrived the park Abbie jumped out of the car and go into the door.
Then both of them come out of the dark and get inside the car. When I turn around I just see broken Joyce. Poor kid.

When we arrive home Mikey wait for us in the kitchen. He make me a tea and the others a cacao. We sit down in the living room and look at Joyce and our daughter.
"So what's going on sweetheart?" Mikey asks Abbie. "Joyce is pregnant...she told it her parents and they kicked her out." "They did?!" I say shocked. "They did. Now I don't know where to go." "Do you wanna keep the baby?" "I really want. It is my own child my own blood! I can't kill it or give it away!" "Could we let her stay with us, please?" Abbie asks and stare at us. "What do you think Mike?" "I don't know what do you think about it. But Jo was always like my second daughter." "You heard him, sweetie. Of course, you can stay here with us." when I say this sentence both jumped into my arms and cried.

The month passed away and the baby boy is on the earth now. Joyce choose the name Dean. Dean looks exactly like his father. Calvin visit us every week to see his son. He is a good father.
Joyce's parent's didn't visit us. It's like they don't care about their own daughter. We know it pulls her down but we are always there for her. Joyce is our second daughter from the first moment. We are glad to have her and Dean.
I'm happy to raised a child like Abbie. Abbie is always there for her friends. She never let's someone behind. She is gonna be a good mother.
