Henry: Showdown

Before You Go, Make Sure You Know

Jasper squeezed Piper's hand. "Don't worry Pip. I'm sure everything will be fine. Jasper said smiling. " We need confirmation, we're  not even sure you are pregnant.  

I told you guys that I already took a test and saw the results. Piper said reminding Jasper. 

Then why haven't you shown the test? Jasper asked. 

Piper decided to stay silent because when she took the test she saw a faint blue line indicating maybe she or maybe she wasn't. 

The doctor walked back into the room with Piper's medical file in hand. 

Well, Mrs. Hart....... He said sitting down. You're pregnant....Congratulations! He added with a smile. 

Piper's jaw dropped 

Are you sure? Jasper asked frowning. He couldn't believe that Piper was pregnant again. 

Yes, I'm sure. The doctor said laughing. "Don't worry every young father acts the way you do. The doctor added wanting to reassure Jasper. 

Yeah,,,,ok Jasper said with the thought of him being a father at 17 . 

Doctor. Mrs. Alvarez is here. The nurse said as she stuck her head through the door.

Ok, Piper I'll book you an appointment for two months from now is that ok with you? The doctor asked to both Jasper and Piper . 

Yeah, that fine said Jasper as Piper just nodded

Come on.....You need to say something! Jasper said rubbing her cheek. 

How am I suppose to tell Henry this? I'm sure he'll flip out like the first time. Piper said with tears in her eyes . 

Nah! Henry won't do that. I mean he might be scared a little bit  but he'll be just fine.  Don't worry about it. Jasper said with a reassuring tone. 

You really think so? Piper asked with a small voice. "you know everything is now falling to pieces because our mom hasn't been dead for at least a month and now I am about to have another child. What if he hates me ? 

I'll be here for you and the baby and then we might do the plan we have been discussing about? Jasper said to her as a reminder. 

Ok, I'll call you later.  Piper said as she was still processing the news that she was pregnant.  

Jasper watched her as she walked back to her house and closed the door behind her. Don't screw this up, Hen! She needs you now....More than ever. Act like a big brother. Jasper thought suddenly worried about Henry's reaction to his sister's pregnancy. 

Inside the house.  

Henry was in front of the tv watching a rerun of an episode of Friends. Piper came in the door and he saw the sadness written all over her face. 

Piper, what's wrong? Henry asked as he got up from his couch an d rushed up to her. 

Umm.. I think should sit down for this Hen. Piper said. 

Ok. Henry said as he headed back to the couch. 

I just went to the doctors and they said that I am...um......pregnant again. I went there to make sur-- 

WHAT?! Henry shouted as he interrupted her .

Piper knew this Conversation would have gone south but what she wanted to  have was a support system. 

You planned this all along? Henry said in shock, "You wanted me to take care of your child since the daddy decided that it wasn't his? 

No, I'm not. Piper said as she sounded really disappointed by her brother. "I can't believe you're making another mistake.
