Chapter 56

Sophia's POV ~

Vinnie started running towards Gracie and he pulled her into a tight hug. He then held her at arms length. Both of them had watery eyes. Vinnie looked like he was searching for something in her eyes. Gracie just shook her head.

"Yes Vinnie i really am." Gracie said. She took the ultrasound pictures out that they gave her from the hospital and showed him. A smile finally crossed his face.

"What do we do now?" Vinnie finally asked.

"We have to tell my parents." Gracie said. "Like tomorrow."

"Okay." Vinnie said.

Gracie stayed the night at Vinnie's. Dylan and i left around midnight to go back to my place. I thought about what might happen to Gracie. Will she keep the baby? Will Vinnie leave her right before the baby is born? Or leave right after he's born? Will he stay? I was truly really worried about her. We got back to my house and changed back into our pjs.

~Next Day~

Today i had to babysit so Dylan left this morning when we woke up. Currently the kids are napping so i'm bored out of my mind. Gracie's never been.... The best with kids.... She gets a little, squeamish because she doesn't want to hurt or drop them or something like that. The kids i'm babysitting right now are an 8 month baby boy and a 2 year old boy. I had an idea so i called Gracie.

~Phone Call~

"Hey Soph what's up?" Gracie asked.

"So i'm babysitting the Reynolds kids and wanted to know if you wanted to come over and you could get some practice." I laughed.

"Both boys right?" She asked.

"Yup, 8 months and 2 years." I said.

"It would be good practice. But Vinnie and i were just about to tell my parents..." Gracie said.

"Well they should be getting up from a nap soon so get over here as soon as you can." I said.

"Okay... Bye." She said.

"Bye."

~End of phone call~

About 10 minutes after i got off the phone i heard knocking at the front door. The kids were still napping so i answered quickly so they wouldn't wake up yet. I opened the door to Gracie who was all smiles.

"How'd it go?" I asked moving over so she could come in.

"We're telling them later tonight instead." Gracie said.

"Makes sense." I laughed. "So they should be up soon. I figured since you're pregnant with a boy practicing babysitting a boy would be helpful." I smiled.

"Thanks Soph you're the best." Gracie hugged me. "I don't know what i'd do without you."

"I don't know what i'd do without you either, i'd be friendless expect for Dylan." I laughed. Just then Patrick (the 8 month old) started crying. "Ready for your first task?" I chuckled.

"Yeah." She smiled.

We went down the hall to his room. I bent over the crib and picked him up. I swayed him back and forth to relax him. I wiped his tears away and felt his diaper was full.

"Want to change a diaper?" I asked.

"With help..." Gracie said hesitantly. I laid him on the changing table and laid out all the stuff we needed.

"Okay ready?" I asked.

"No..." Gracie laughed.

"Okay so first clearly you need to get to the diaper. Little babies are always in onesies so the button snaps are typically between the legs like over the diaper," I said, Gracie nodded and i undid the snaps and pushed the onesie up. "Next clearly you pull the straps back on the diaper to open it, then take the baby wipe and clean." I said. I handed her the baby wipe and moved over.

"I'm doing this?" She asked.

"Yes." I laughed. She pulled the straps back and started cleaning him. "But it's so smal-"

"Get over it..." I said she laughed. He pooped to so i helped her with that. "Now you pick up his leg and slide the dirty diaper out, folded it up and put a new one underneath his butt and then close it all up." I said. Gracie looked at me like i had 3 heads. "Come on you can do it, but remember you gotta be quick." I said.

Gracie picked his legs up lifting his butt and slid the diaper out. She folded it up and grabbed another clean diaper and slid it under him. Right as she was just about to have him 'covered' he peed on her. I started laughing and so did he because Gracie yelled and he thought it was funny.

"I told you you had to be quick." I laughed holding my side.

"PLEASE HELP ME!!" She begged.

"Go clean up." I said to her. I held the diaper over him so he was covered and went to the bathroom. I started a bath and cleaned him really quick. I put him in his jumper in the living and met Gracie in the kitchen. She was crying. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"I don't think i can handle this Soph." She said.

"Hey don't think like that. It was your first diaper change you did good but things happen." I said placing my hand on her shoulder.

"Soph i'm not good under pressure you are, i'm not gonna be able to handle this." Gracie said. I pulled her into a hug.

"Yes you will. And I will always be here for you, always and that's a promise. I don't care if Vinnie leaves you or if your parents disapprove. Whenever you need me i'll be there. I can help as i much as you need." I said.

"Thanks Soph, you really are the best." Gracie said.

Gracie's POV ~

"Thanks for coming over for dinner." I said.

"I told you whenever or wherever you need me." Soph smiled.

Sophia, Dylan, and Vinnie all were over for dinner. I was nervous to tell my parents and barely ate. Vinnie was holding my hand under the table which made me feel a little better. I kind of knew what my parents reactions were going to be but i was hoping i was wrong.

"Gracie are you okay you've barely eaten anything." My mom said. I looked over at Soph who nodded her head with a soft smile but looked kind of nervous for me. I felt Vinnie's grip tighten and the room felt to be growing smaller. I took a deep breath in and let it out.

"I'm okay," I nodded. "But i need to tell you guys something..." The room fell completely silent. My parents waiting for me to talk. I looked at Soph for help.

"It's okay... It's okay to be scared, i was too..." Soph said pursing her lips.

"So i was in a car accident last night," I started.

"Gracie how could you not tell us?" My dad asked.

"Are you okay?" My mom asked.

"Yes i'm fine but let me finish please. They brought me to the hospital because safety precautions and all but i found something out while i was there." I paused and looked at Vinnie. He leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"I love you Gracie," He whispered in my ear, it sent shivers down my spine. I shook it off and continued,

"They um... Had me take this test... I-i'm 5 almost 6 months pregnant with a baby boy..." I said.

"Gracie!" My mom said.

"I-i'm sorry please don't be mad." I begged almost starting to cry but not yet fully.

"W-WITH THIS ASSHOLE!" My dad yelled.

"He's not an asshole dad!" I yelled. Tears were now streaming down my face. "I'M YOUR DAUGHTER YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAD AND YELL YOU SHOULD HELP ME!" I cried, Vinnie pulled me close. Soph came over and hugged me too, Dylan followed.

"Out... I want him out." My dad said. "Break up with him he's nothing but trouble!" He yelled.

"You know that's not true! You know he's different then that!" I yelled.

"Shh.... Baby it's okay." Vinnie said.

"I'm serious Gracie he's out of the picture or you can move out." My dad said.

"Mom!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry sweetie..." My mom said. She really never had any say. What dad said goes and that's that.

"You're not even gonna try and stand up for me?" I asked.

"Honey you shouldn't have been having sex... Then this wouldn't have happened." She said.

"I hate you guys!" I cried. "I'm not breaking up with Vinnie, i'll move out then i'm 18 anyway." I got up and ran to my room.

"Gracie!" Soph yelled.

Sophia's POV ~

I got up into Gracie's room and she was crying. I knew this was going to happen. Her parents can be a bit much... I walked over to her and she hugged me tightly.

"Gracie you can stay at my house my parents won't mind." I said.

She just nodded. I helped her pack a bag for a few days. Dylan had came up and told us Vinnie was being hounded by her dad. We packed quickly and went downstairs. We went in the living room and Gracie grabbed Vinnie by his wrist and pulled him up.

"Where are you going?" Her dad asked.

"I told you i'm leaving, moving out!" Gracie said. "I'm spending a few nights at Soph's until i know where i'm staying permanently; then i'll be coming back and getting all my stuff. I'm not raising my child in a place it's 'not wanted' you want to be that grandparent that's in the picture after this, then fine. But don't think just apologizing will help fix how i feel. You have a lot to fix..." Gracie said.

With that we all left. I'm glad Gracie stood up to her dad. We went to my house and told my parents what happened. Unlike Gracie's parents they were excepting of the situation. They agreed she could stay with us. Gracie and Vinnie decided it would be best if Gracie stayed here because they do semi want her parents coming around and knew that if she stayed at his house right off the bat that that wouldn't happen. My parents were fine with this. Tara is moving into my room and we're giving Gracie Tara's room until she moves out. Then Tara will be back in her room.

"Sorry about your room kid." Gracie said to Tara.

"It's okay its for you i don't care because i love you." Tara hugged her.

That night all of us; Tara, Dylan, Vinnie, my parents, and Gracie moved all her stuff into my house. Her parents were being total dicks but there was nothing we could really do but help her through it. We got her room set up and then mine and Tara's. Tara's bed was by the window and mine was closer to the door. It was an interesting set up and i knew we would both get sick of each other fast but i needed to help my best friend. She needed me and i wasn't go to abundant her because she didn't do that to me when i needed her.
