It was already after dinner on Friday night, so I was just going to sleep under the shelter. I wrapped myself in one of James' hoodies, and sleep eventually found me. I woke up early that Saturday morning and found my way to a nearby restaurant and ordered a small breakfast. I nibbled on my hash browns and poked at my scrambled eggs.
My mouth felt dry and disgusting, so I went to the washroom to brush my teeth. I spat the foam out of my mouth and rinsed the bristles under the faucet.
I sprinted back to the park and sat on the swing, and waited for nearly two and a half hours. I saw Dhani wave his arms frantically to say hello. I smiled and remembered why I had to talk to him.
"Dhani Harrison, do you remember what happened the last time we were in this park?" I scolded.
"Yes, it was delightful. Are we going to do it again?" He wondered aloud.
"NO! Not until you learn how to use a (bleeeeeping) condom!" I shouted, handing him the test. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped , hanging on its hinges.
"We can't be parents, Lou, we're only kids ourselves. What're we gonna do?" He was just as worried as I am.
" I don't know. " I sobbed into his jumper. "Just promise you'll stay with me."
" I promised you that when I have you your ring, and I didn't plan on breaking it then, so I'm not going to now. " He cried. We are such a pathetic sight, two teens, sitting on a park bench, sobbing about a baby.
We knew we needed to keep it, no child deserves to be stuck in foster care.
"I don't think I can face my Mum and Dad yet, but I have to live with them, or tell them and live with you, but your parents need to know as well" I rambled. Dhani picked me up bridal style and carried me to a cab.
"I don't want this kid to be made fun of for being the illegitimate child of teen parents" I wailed, " and what about our families' reputation? "
He kissed my forehead and assured me everything would be alright. I'd be able to keep this a secret for about another month and a half, and that gives us until the beginning of November.
"We need to tell them before I start to show, Dhani." I whispered .
"I know, but that's terrifying to think about, both of our parents hold us to such high expectations, and we'd feel as though we've let them down"
"But they'll get over it, because they love us, and they WILL love this baby." He assured.
November came and if I wore tight clothes, you could almost see my bump. I had to tell them.
"Mom, can I talk to you?" I trembled as the question came from my mouth.
"Is it about this?" She asked, placing her palm on my stomach . My eyes widened in shock, but I realized. She's done the same five times.
"Does Dad know?" Mum nodded. " why didn't you kick me out? "
" We love you and the baby, and want you to have the best lives possible" She cooed. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I hugged her.
I dialed the Harrison's phone number. Dhani picked up.
"Hello?"
" Dhani, this is Louise. My Mum knew for a while "
"I told my parents the day you told me"
We continued to discuss matters, involving its name. We'd call a girl Linda Louise Harrison and a boy Dhani George Harrison. The first and middle names may swap places.
