buddy_luv_blah:
no, of course her parents aren't going to go throw her out in the street.
maybe they just don't want their pregnant teenager around giving them a bad reputation in their new neighborhood?
you'll just have to wait and see =]

Chapter 3
A deadly secret...
I was woken up by a gentle shake from my mom. She looked surprisingly happy. Confused, I sat up, "yeah?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. She gave me one of those 'I Love You' looks and said, "let's talk". I smiled, my mom was truly a rock. She could help me through anything and still put on a happy face, no matter how much it hurt her inside.
"we're gunna get through this baby" she said, still smiling, "but there's options, you c-" I cut her off, "I want to have this baby mom"
She winced, "if you're sure. We'll call the adoption agency tomorrow and talk to them about finding a good home for the baby, okay?" my smile faded, "no mom, I want to keep it" If there was one thing I was sure of, It was this. She looked at me like she was about to strangle me and sighed, "O.K. baby" she stood up and started to walk out, but stopped, "we'll turn the guest bedroom into a nursery if you want"
I smiled and walked over to her, wrapping her into a tight hug, "sounds great mom, I love you so much, I'm sorry-" I stopped as my eyes swelled up with tears. "don't be sorry honey" she said as she backed away, "I love you no matter what happens".
That day started something special between me and my mom, we were closer than before, we sort of...understood each other now, better than we had before.
The next day my dad didn't come home, which was weird, Saturdays were the only days he actually bothered to spend time at home. Mom started to worry, but truthfully, I could care less. She called his office, but they said they hadn't seen him since Friday. She called his cell but it was busy. She didn't know what else to do, so she started cleaning. It's kind of funny, when she gets really stressed she either cleans, or cooks, and the rest of the world mine as well not be there.
I took this opportunity to sneak up to my room and try getting ahold of him myself. I dialed his number on my cell. I was stunned when a strange woman answered. "who's this?" she asked, I checked the ID on the screen, it was definately my dad's number.
"this is Bri..." I said, listening closely, I heard her speaking to someone in the background, "who's Bri?" she whispered. Then I heard the unmistakeable sound of my dad's voice, "Jesus. It's my daughter, hang up. now!" Click, the line went dead.
I just stared at the tiny dim screen, could it be? dad wouldn't cheat on mom...would he? I decided not to say anything, not yet anyway, and I walked back downstairs to my mom, "did you find anything out yet?" I had to know if she knew "yeah, everything's fine, he's just spending a day out with the guys" she smiled, "don't worry, I got on him for not letting us know" I returned her smile, If she only knew...
Devomuffins:

No need to be paranoid, that story was posted almost a month before yours was. The author couldn't possibly be copying off of your story. :)
