“We need everything and the kids won’t be able to afford the big stuff so we’ll have to get that. In fact Tina just said something to me about getting her to register for the shower. I think she has off on Sunday I’ll take her then. I got to go she’s off in about five minutes,” Seth said. “If you’re not doing anything stop over.”
“Naw she needs rest. We’ll hang out another time,” Cris said.

On the way home they stopped to get some food for the house. When she went to get a soda Seth took it out of her hand, putting it back he held up a bottle of milk or orange juice. Laughing she pointed to the milk, and got some cookies to go with it.
“Ok you win this one. You can have the cookies since you got the milk. You know you have to drink more of it,” he said.
“I know, but I don’t think of it.”
“That’s why you got me to remind you,” he said hugging her from around her back. “Come on let’s get home so you can rest. Don’t even bother to argue you need to relax.”
“I’m not, I’m so tired today. Are we going to your place or my parents?”
“Mine for a little. I wanted to ask you is Courtney or anyone at school giving you a hard time?” he asked
“No I don’t see Courtney, but some of the girls in my homeroom won’t talk to me anymore. It’s no big deal anyway.”
“I’m sorry, Babe, I didn’t know you were having such a hard time at school. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It’s not that bad and my real friends are still talking to me so that’s all that matters,” she replied. “Besides I have you back and that mean more to me than any kids not speaking to me.”
When they got to his place they walked into the house and Jerry was nowhere around. They went up to Seth’s room and he turned on the TV as Lia laid on the bed. She looked at Seth and he came over to the bed and lowered himself down next to her kissing her. He pulled her to him and the kiss deepened, he started rubbing her lower back.
“Mmm, that feels so good.”
“You feel good, Babe,” he said as his hands started roaming all over her. Quickly he had her moaning his name. He pulled her shirt up and looked at her body, the changes were more noticeable now, she was showing more and her breasts were larger. “Babe, you are so beautiful.”
She laughed, “Stop torturing me, Seth.”
He quickly undressed her and himself they came together quickly. She laid on her side afterwards with him holding her close to him, her back to his chest, and he asked, “Are you ok? You’re so quiet.”
“I’m fine just so tired tonight,” she said as she pulled his arm around her and she fell asleep within minutes.
He pulled her to face him and put her head on his shoulder. He held her close watching her sleep. He was rubbing her stomach absently thinking about their future. Money was going to be tight. Even with people giving them stuff at the baby shower, he didn’t know how they were going to do it all. The pressure he was feeling was weighing heavily on him, to provide for the baby, his college, for them. He didn’t think his parents were going to help too much; since he hasn’t spoke to either one of them in weeks. Deep down it hurt that his Mom didn’t call him, but he would never let anyone know that. He was more than a little surprise that she didn’t. He told her when he left that it wasn’t because of her only his Dad. He swore to himself right now that he would be a better parent to his kid than his parents are to him.
He picked up his cell phone and dialed Lia’s house, “Hello, Mrs. Lombardi? It’s Seth, Lia’s fine, but she’s sleeping and I was wondering if you wanted me to wake her up to bring her home, or can I just let her sleep? She was really exhausted after work tonight and fell asleep almost as soon as we got here.”
“Seth you should have brought her here if she was that tired,” Mrs. Lombardi said.
“We were just going to watch a movie and then I was bringing her home, but she fell asleep before I could even put it in. I’ll wake her up and bring her home,” Seth said annoyed.
“Let her sleep, but don’t make a habit of this,” she said.
“I don’t mean any disrespect, but what’s the big deal anymore? She’s pregnant already and going to marry me,” he asked.
“Don’t be smart with me Seth. She’s underage and she still has to follow our rules,” she reprimanded.
“I wasn’t trying to be smart. I was just stating the truth and wondering why it’s a big deal. You know that I love her and she loves me and we want to be together all the time.”
“I know that and when you’re older you can have that, but not now. Not when she’s only sixteen.”
“She’ll be seventeen soon and I want us married before the baby comes. I know I told you we would wait, but it doesn’t feel right to me to have this baby without us being married,” he said.
“Seth I know you feel that way and probably have from the beginning, but you have to wait till she graduates,” she said.
“Why? What’s the difference? It’s not like she won’t graduate, I’ll make sure of that. She’ll go to college too and when she suppose to. Not years from now.”
“Did you even speak to her about it?”
“No, not yet. I wanted to talk to you first to see if you will even let us.”
“You put me in a bad position here. Come over tomorrow after work and we’ll discuss it. I’m telling you now I’m not thrilled with it and I don’t know how her father will feel about it. What about your parents?”
“What about them? I haven’t heard from either one of them since I moved back. If you let us then I’ll tell them, but not before.”
“Oh Seth I’m so sorry I didn’t realize you haven’t spoken to them. Come over tomorrow and we’ll discuss it. I’ll speak to her Dad, but I’m not saying we will give you permission.”
“Thanks Mrs. Lombardi, I really appreciate you thinking about it.”
Lia woke up after he turned off the phone and asked, “Who where you talking to?”
“You’re Mom. I originally I called to see if I had to wake you up to take you home and she was mad that I didn’t take you right home since you were so tired. Then I asked her if we could get married before the baby comes and she kinda freaked on me for a minute, but then said we can go over there tomorrow after work to discuss it.”
“Really we can get married before the baby comes?!” she said excitedly.
“Well it’s up to you and your parents. Do you want to get married before he comes?”
“Yes if you stop saying he,” she teased. “I think once I have my ultra sound next month I’m asking to know the sex of the baby. Where would we live here or at my parents?”
“If it’s alright with Jerry, here would be better. I don’t want to live where everything we do is going to be watched. But first we have to get them to sign the papers for you to get married.”
“Don’t tell them I woke up tonight. I want to stay the night with you just in case they don’t let us.”
“I’m not letting you go tonight. If they let us, I want to get married next month. Is that ok with you?”
“Next month, that’s too soon. With the holidays and everything it will be too hard to pay for everything. How about in February?” she said snuggling closer to him. A rush of excitement rushed through her and the very possibility of marrying Seth before the baby was born.
“February is ok, but not a month later,” Seth said holding her close to him. He didn’t sleep that night with the possibility of them getting married. Soon his mind was racing with every possible thing that could go wrong.
