The next morning before school, Kie woke up early, feeling nauseous. She left JJ in bed and ran to the bathroom.

Her getting up made him wake up and notice she was gone. He heard her in the bathroom and got up to go help her.

He opened the door and quickly fell to his knees next to her and pulled her hair back as she threw up.

"You ok?" He asked once she was done.

"I'm so ready for this part to be over" Kie said, sitting up and then leaning on the bathtub.

JJ sat next to her and put his arm around her as she leaned her head on his chest.

"Don't worry" JJ joked "just 9 more months"

"Don't remind me" Kie laughed a little

"You going to school today?" He asked, tiredly

"Mhm" Kie yawned "I have to"

"You know your gonna have to talk to your parents today" JJ reminded her.

"I can't wait" Kie said sarcastically

"And You're not telling them yet, right?" JJ asked

"mn nm" she shook her head no.

"Okay" he said, resting his head "just tell me when you're ready"

"ok" Kie said, closing her eyes.

Without even meaning to, they both fell asleep, sitting there on the bathroom floor.

Another hour or so later, John b came into their room in a hurry.

"Their they are" John b shouted. "Future parents of the year, get up!"

They slowly woke up and sat up straight

"Why are y'all on the floor- it doesn't matter, get up we're about to be late" John b said, leaving.

"Oh shit- what time is it" Kie said, looking at her smart watch that wouldn't turn on. "Dead"

"It's 7 something, probably" JJ said, standing up and extending his hand to help Kie up "we need to go"

They quickly got ready and headed to school in the Twinkie.

"How are you feeling?" Sarah asked as her and Kie walked to the same class together.

"Better, I guess" Kie replied.

"Do you know when your telling your parents?" Sarah asked.

"I'm waiting as long as I possibly can" Kie said, still dreading the future conversation "I just want life to be normal for a little bit longer"

"Kie you can't wait too long" Sarah said, concerned "your gonna need to go to doctor appointments eventually. Just to make sure everything is okay"

"Shit" Kie closed her eyes "I didn't even think about that."

"The sooner you tell them, the better" Sarah said and they walked into class.

At lunch they all met up at their picnic table outside to eat.

"Change of plans, we're gonna have to tell my parents a lot sooner than we thought" Kie said once she finally saw JJ again.

"What. Why?" JJ asked, a little panicked.

"Because, we have to like- get ultrasounds and make sure everything is okay" Kie said, not too sure what they even do at the appointments.

"Shit" JJ said. "When do you wanna do it then?"

"I dunno" Kie said "maybe in a couple of weeks"

"No" Sarah budded in "like sooner than that. You've already been pregnant for almost a month. You need to go get a check up"

"Okay so, maybe next week" Kie said, preparing him for it

"damn." He said, biting his cheek "that's soon"

"Very soon" Kie said, taking a deep breath.

"It'll be okay." JJ smiled.

After school, they all got in the Twinkie and John b drove to drop Everyone off. After dropping pope off first, they got to Kies house.

"You'll be okay?" JJ asked, walking Kie to her door.

"Yea" she said, a little nervous "it's just gonna be so weird talking to them, knowing that in a couple days, they're literally going to hate me."

"They won't hate you" JJ reassured "you're their daughter"

"Still. They're gonna be so mad" Kie said.

"Hey, look don't tell them without me, alright?" JJ said "I really don't want you to have to do that by yourself"

"Don't worry" she laughed "I won't"

"Okay" he smiled as they got to her door "you sure you don't want me to go in?"

"Yea I'm sure." Kie said, scared that the truth would come out if her and JJ were alone with her parents. "I'm just not ready for all that right not"

"That's fine" he smiled "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yea" she smiled and he kissed her goodbye as they stood in front of her door.

"Hey, you call me if you need anything. Okay? Anything at all" JJ said, making sure she understood.

"I will" she smiled "thank you JJ, I love you"

"I love you too" he smiled and kissed her again. He casually put his hand flat on her stomach. He felt so connected to the kid every time he did it. He knew that he would do anything to protect them both.

They said goodbye and JJ went back to the Twinkie as Kie went inside.

"JJ didn't come in?" Mike asked from the couch once she closed the door.

"Uhm, nope" Kie said nervously "he had to go to work"

Kie was so nervous. This was the first time talking to her dad since she found out. It felt so weird hiding something that big from him.

"Oh" Mike said, a little disappointed "how was your day, Kiara"

"It was fine" she said smiling awkwardly and then slipped away to her room. She instantly started crying. This was harder than she had thought it would be.

John b dropped JJ off at work and then drove him and Sarah back to the chateau.

"You a'ight J-dog?" One of the men from the warehouse asked, eventually. "you don't seem like yourself today"

JJ laughed a little, thinking about how they would react if they found out that he got a girl knocked up. These guys thought of him like a son, and would freak out if they knew. JJ didn't really want to tell them, because he didn't want to word to get out yet, but he also knew that they could probably help him. Even if they didn't give the best advice, it would be practice for telling her parents.

"You don't wanna know, Bobby" JJ said, working on a motor.

"Nahhhh, JJ come on, what's on your mind" Bobby said

JJ took a deep breath and wiped his wrench down with an oily rag as he stalled.

"My girlfriends pregnant" JJ said, looking down but glancing up briefly to see his reaction

Bobby had a shocked expression on his face.

"Are you serious JJ?" Bobby asked, genuinely

JJ nodded slowly

"How far long is she?" He asked

"Like, a month.. almost" JJ said, unsure. "You can't tell anyone though, Bobby, her parents don't even know yet"

"Shiii" Bobby thought for a minute "you gon be okay?"

"I'm- yea I mean I'll be fine" JJ said, looking down at the wrench to avoid eye contact. Pressure started building up inside of him.

"You sure?" Bobby asked, noticing his stressed face.

"Mhm" JJ nodded, wiping the wrench off more aggressively

"JJ.." Bobby said, able to tell that something was wrong.

JJ dropped the wrench on the table.
"-I'm in way over my head" JJ finally admitted, shaking his head, as he put his hands on his head. He started pacing a little.

"Heyy, You'll figure it out" Bobby assured "your a smart kid, you'll figure it out"

"Bobby, I'm 16. How am I supposed to raise a kid" JJ said, venting

"You won't be the first teen parent to ever exist" Bobby said "and you won't be the worst either. JJ, I know you'll make an finee father."

JJ heard his words and kept running his hands through his hair. He didn't even know he was crying until he felt a tear fall down his cheek

"Shit-" he said looking at the water on his hand and going back to wipe the rest away with the parts of his hands that weren't covered in oil.

"It's alright" Bobby said, sympathizing

"And- and I just found out that we're gonna have to tell her parents like- a LOT sooner than what we thought" JJ said, water still trying to fall from his eyes.

"Fuck" he whispered, wiping away more tears "sorry" he sniffled

"JJ- listen here son" Bobby said, putting his hand on JJs shoulder "I was about your age when I found out my wife was pregnant too. Maybe a little older, but still young." He continued "I was still living with my parents at the time, I didn't have a job, I had no money, I just graduated high school. And I didn't have a clue in the world of what to do, or how to be a dad."

JJ listened to his story, trying to get a hold of his tears.

"But you know what I did?" Bobby started "I started working, I got enough money to support us. We got married before the baby was born and I was able to start rentin us a little house on the cut. Now we're still together and had three more kids after that. Still happy as ever"

"Bobby, I don't mean any disrespect, but that's not the kind of life I want for her" JJ admitted "I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck just to keep food on the table, I mean that's how I was raised, and look at me now"

"There ain't nothing wrong with the way you turned out" Bobby tried to make him feel better

"But I mean, Kiara- she lives in a nice house on figure eight." JJ said, defeated "like- that's.. that's what she deserves, and I just- i don't know how I'm gonna make enough money to give her that one day, especially if I have to support a whole other human"

"Look, now I've never met this Kiara girl, but I'm assuming it's not the money she's lookin for." Bobby said "sometimes all a person needs is love. N' that's what you given her."

"Love won't feed a kid" JJ said, upset "it won't put a roof over its head, or clothes on its body. How am I supposed to-" he stopped and took a deep breath

"JJ" Bobby said "you're gonna figure it out"

"Everyone keeps telling me that." JJ said a little frustrated "and with most things, I feel like I can figure them out, but this? How am I supposed to know what to do about this?"

"You'll know once you hold that little baby in your arms" Bobby smiled "I promise. If you don't figure it out before then, it'll click once's it's born"

For some reason this made JJ feel better.

"Damn it" JJ whispered, noticing more tears forming in his eyes and wiping them away

"Let it out J- dog" Bobby said, patting him on the back

"No- I'm, im fine" JJ said, drying his eyes one last time "I really appreciate it man" JJ said genuinely, squeezing Bobby's shoulder.

"Hey, if you need anything; more hours, a raise, anything, you just let me know and I'll see what I can do" Bobby smiled "alright?"

"Thanks man" JJ said

"You'll be okay" Bobby pat his back again.
