y/n's pov
"vinnie shut the hell up." i side eye him as he begs to have a third child. i walk into the bathroom to collect all our children's laundry and see a box that catches my eye.
i drop the basket and walk over to the sink and see a pregnancy test. what? i look at the results and see, two lines. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT?! i rush out the room and close her bathroom door.
i walk downstairs and see courtney biting her fingernails and her leg bouncing. "hey court." i smile. "oh, uhm hey mom" she jumps. i nod my head slowly, observing her actions and walk to the garage, loading the laundry.
i decided to not tell vinnie and let courtney tell us when she's ready. i didn't mean to snoop, it was right THERE.
••••
"hey courtney, can you set the plates and malik can you please put the salad on the table." i tell the children.
as we're eating, courtney hasn't touched her food, she's probably nauseous by it. "hey court, what's wrong? you haven't touched anything?" vinnie says. "uhm i'm fine dad, i'm not that hungry." she lies.
i can tell she doesn't want to be with us right now, she's stressed. "courtney you can go in your room, if you want." i excuse her. she looks up and smiles. "thank you." she mouths.
"what's up with her?" malik asks. "i don't know? she's probably stressed with school and volleyball." i shrug.
after dinner
vinnie and malik decided they were gonna put away the dishes together. i walk in the hallway and get cut off by courtney. "mom can i talk to you?" i hear her say from her room. i nod and walk into her room, closing the door.
"mom, please don't get mad at me..." her eyes glassy. "i won't. what's wrong?" i tilt my head. "uhm, i'm - pregnant..." she says quietly, handing me the test i saw earlier.
"please don't hate me." my daughter's soft voice speaks. "court, i'm not mad, everybody makes decisions that didn't have the outcome they wanted. i won't tell your dad, you will. when you're ready. i'll support you in whatever you choose to do." i hug her.
her cries being muffled by my chest. i know she didn't mean for this to happen. i can't be mad at her, having sex is normal. i can't speak considering vinnie and me at 16.
"can we tell him now?" she asks. "if you want to, yes. he's in the kitchen." i get up and we walk downstairs. i look at her and i speak. "vinn, courtney needs to tell you something." i move her infront of me.
vinnie dries his hands and signals for her to continue. "uhm, dad.. i'm pregnant." she hands the test to him. his face scrunches up and he takes a deep breath. he's upset.
"uhm who's the dad? is it that no good boy, ethan?" his voice angry. "uhm, yeah.." she replies. "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BE HAVING SEX AT SIXTEEN. DID YOU NOT USE PROTECTION OR DID YOU WANT A CHILD?" he yells making our daughter frightened.
"courtney come here." i pull her into my arms. "vinnie, lower your voice. sex at sixteen is bound to happen. she's in highschool, what were YOU doing at sixteen? they may have used protection, things accidentally happen. she needs your support not your criticism. i'm sure she knows what she did was wrong." i try to make the tension lessen.
"you're okay with our daughter being pregnant?" he raises an eyebrow. "never said i was and never said i wasn't. but i'm not gonna make her feel less of herself and you shouldn't either. i suggest you support her. you're her dad after all." i glare.
he takes a deep breath and sighs. "sorry courtney, i shouldn't have yelled. i'm sorry, it's just something i'm not use to. i'm still use to seeing you as my little girl." his eyes also getting teary.
i loosen my arms and she runs to her dads arms, both of them crying. "damn, so i'm just in the back." malik jokes making everybody laugh. he walks next to me and puts his elbow on my shoulder.
"mom, i just realized how short you are." malik teases. "shut up, you play basketball. you're six feet." i slap his head. "i think i want to abort the baby." we hear courtney announce.
"are you sure?" i ask. "yes, i'm sure. i'm not ready and i don't want it. ethan already said he doesn't care what i do." she bites the inside of her cheek.
"okay, your body your choice. we'll be there with you every step of the way." i smile, everybody else nodding their heads in agreement.
