Eleanor's POV

When I got home, I saw my Dad sitting in the living room with his hands crossed.

"Hi Dad, how was work?"

"Sit down"

"Somebody's in a bad mood today." I rolled my eyes and sat down.

"I wanted to ask you about these 'changes' I've seen in you."

"What changes?"

"That you are using over-sized shirts, our fridge is running out of food and I've seen you've gained weight."-He looked at me in the eyes.-"Care to explain?"

"I've grown to like baggy shirts, I want to gain weight and I see that your seeing results." I got up and went to the kitchen to grab an apple.

"I know your hiding something."

"I'm an open book Dad."-I looked back and saw that he was standing in front of me.

"Does it had to do with George?"

"I haven't talked to hI'm in three months." I took a bite of my snack and walked to the living room.I turned on the TV and 'I Love Lucy' was on.

"You know I call the school today."

Now I'm nervous.

"Why'd you called?"

"Because I didn't receive this semester's report card!"

"How did you know report cards were sended?"

"So they were? The neighbor's son told me."-He walked over to me and grabbed me by the wrist.-"I hope you're not failing because of George."

"Dad you're hurting me."

"I also knew you dropped out!!" His grip tightened on me.

"Dad please!!!" I cried. He raised his hand to hit me, but I heard Mom rushing down the stairs.

"JACK DON'T!!!!!"-Mother looked at me with sorry eyes.-"She's pregnant."

Dad looked at me furious."That explains the baggy clothes?"-I nodded.-"That explains the empty fridge?"-I nodded.-"That explains that day you almost fainted and the morning sickness?"-I nodded and he started to count.-"Your three months now?"-I nodded.-"Is George the father?"-I nodded.-"You dropped out of school?"-I nodded.-"Are you working?"-I nodded.-"Your grounded. Go to your room."

I ran up the stairs crying.

Marie's POV

"And you knew about this?" He asked me.

"Yes. I didn't tell you because I knew you we're going to act like this."

"You should've told me.I could've done something."

"What?Throw her out like they did with me knowing she's passing the same thing that we did!?" I walked up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Jack asked from the bottom floor. I looked back.

"To my daughter. To show that she still has a parent that cares."

I went into her room and found her sat on her bed crying.

"Sweetie don't cry, it's bad for the baby." I sat down beside her.

"Mum, I went to the doctor today."

"And?"

"You're not having a grandchild."

"What! It's dead!? What was it?"

"No, Mom"-She smiled and tears escaped her eyes.-"You're not havig one,you're having two."

"Oh dear"-I opened my eyes wide.-"Well, I'll help you take care of them."

"But Mom I can't have them. Dad doesn't accept me this way, George doesn't want them, and now that they're twins-"

"Eleanor Johnson, don't you ever think of killing those two. Besides,stop thinking of the negative and think of the bright side. You'll have two wonderful children, twins. How many people would like to have twins, and you would have them. Now tell me, what sex are they?"

"A wonderful boy and girl." She smiled.

"That's the spirit! Get some rest, you'll need it." I got up and turned the door knob.

"Mom, will Dad accept me?" I turned around.

"Just give him time to think. He never thought history could kinda repeat itself."

"See you later Mom"

"See you"

"Oh! Mom?"

"Yes?"

"I'm still sorry for the 'incident' that-"

"Shh...At least I get to see my grandchildren before I die."-A tear escaped my eye. Eleanor got up and hugged me while I cried on her shoulder.-"Oh, Eleanor! I'm going to miss you! I don't wanna die, but there's no cure!"

"It's ok Mom, I'll miss you too. Wanna lay with me?"

"Ok" We walked to the bed and fell asleep.
