“Who is the father?” Bette asked.

Serafina looked down, she knew her Mother would freak. “It’s… Jackson Young.”

Bette’s eyes grew big. “Excuse me? Tina’s son?”

“Yeah, It happened a week after the BBQ.” Serafina told her Mom.

“I’m gonna kill that asshole.” Bette whispered.

“Mom, no. He isn’t the only one responsible for this. I was there to. You have to be with two to make this happen.” Serafina said.

Bette sighed. “Shit.” She said.

“Yeah…” The girl responded.

“Does Jack know?” Bette asked.

“Yeah, he does. When I told him, he was supportive. He said he would support me in every decision I would make however, he would like us to give him or her up for adoption but if I decided to keep the baby, he would co-parent with me and would take responsibility. He also didn’t like the thought of abortion.” She said to Bette.

“Who knows about this?” Bette asked.

“Jackson, Sebastian and, now, you.” She said.

Bette took a deep breath.

“You do realize that if you would keep the baby it will affect our family and Tina’s, right?”

“I do… That’s why I told Jackson to tell his family but he wants to wait until I made a decision.”

Bette frowned. “He said he would take responsibility. If he leaves all the decisions to you he isn’t doing that.”

“He is in shock just like me. We didn’t see this coming.”

“You can expect this when you have unprotected sex.” Bette said.

“Mom, the condom broke. I don’t know how it happened but it did and we didn’t know what to do after we found out if broke other than hope it would be all right.” Serafina said, remembering the shocked expression on Jack’s face.

“But you said you had been stupid?”

“It was stupid to have sex in the first place. I’m only 15.”

“Was it your first time?”

“Yeah, it was.”

Tina’s house…

Jackson was sitting at his desk. He couldn’t keep this secret much longer. He knew that Serafina would be telling Bette today or tomorrow she was pregnant. He didn’t know what to do. He had told Serafina that he would like to give the child up for adoption but that was only because he thought it was the best for the baby not because he wanted it. If he would be done studying, he would want to keep the baby. He would love and care for it but, now, he still had 4-5 years of studying to go and he didn’t know how he would combine a child with his studies. He didn’t know if his Mom or Bette would be willing to help them. What if they didn’t? Then they didn’t have another option other than giving it up for adoption if they didn’t want abortion. He hadn’t told anyone yet and found it was time to do so. He walked out of his room and knocked on his mother’s bedroom door. He heard his mother calling him in. Tina was sitting on her bed, reading a book.
