Knocked Up

Chapter 25

Rachel was pacing up and down her living room. It had been two hours since Finn dropped her off home and her fathers should be home any minute now. She has been practicing what she was going to say to her them.

"Rachel, sweetie we're home." her father called. 'Oh Boy'

"I'm in here." Rachel called from the living room.

Rachel's fathers greeted her with a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Hi dad, hi daddy. How was work to day?"

"Oh same as usual. Patients coming in and out of the hospital, nothing to exciting. How about you?" Her daddy, Leroy asked.

"It was...it was fine. Yeah, fine." Rachel said nervously.

Her fathers took a look at her.

"Rachel, what's going on sweetie? You haven't been your usual glowing self." her dad, Hiram, asked.

Rachel took a deep breath before looking at her fathers. 'It's now or never.'

"Dad, daddy, please take a seat." Rachel gestured to the couch.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Hiram asked as he and Leroy took a seat.

"Dads, what I am about to tell you is very hard for me."

"Rachel it's okay. You know you can tell us anything." Leroy said.

Rachel took another deep breath.

"I'm pregnant." Rachel whispers.

When her fathers didn't say anything, she took that as a sign of their disappointment and began to cry. Her fathers saw her crying and ran to her side to comfort her.

"Oh sweetie, it's be okay." Hiram comforts his daughter.

"I'm so sorry I disappointed you. Please, please don't hate me." Rachel cried.

"Oh honey, we could never hate you. You're our little girl." Hiram said.

"And we're not disappointed...Well maybe a little..." Leroy said receiving a slap in the arm from Hiram. "B-but it's be okay."

"Yes, just tell us what happened." Hiram said holding his daughter.

Rachel tried to compose herself a little before telling her fathers. After telling her fathers the story, she waited quietly for them to say something, tears still falling from her eyes.

"Oh sweetie, come here." Hiram pulled his daughter back into a embrace. "It'll be alright."

"I'm so sorry, dad." Rachel cried.

"It's okay, honey, it's okay."

"I was so irresponsible and I betrayed your trust and I got drunk and had unprotected sex and now I'm pregnant, and I don't know what to do. And now everyone knows. Oh god daddy what am I going to do? I don't know how to raise a child. I'm still a child myself. What am I going to do?" Rachel was crying even harder now.

"Don't worry sweetie, you'll figure it out and your father and I will be right there to help you." Hiram said.

"You mean it? You're not gonna throw me out or disown me for being so stupid?" Rachel asks.

"Oh heavens no. What kind of loving parents would we be if we threw our only daughter and grandchild out. And you're not stupid, sweetheart. You made a mistake, okay. We all do. We're only human, we're not perfect."

"Thank you, daddy. Thank you so much." Rachel hugs Hiram.

"You're welcome sweetie. I love you." Hiram hugs her back.
