"WHAT?" Sharon cried out in shock. She was completely taken aback by this. She loved Alden and didn't exactly hate the idea of being married to him. In fact, she actually liked the way he went about proposing to her. But why now? It was way too soon for either of them to be thinking about marriage. They were still a week shy of graduating high school.
"Why are you doing this right now?" She continued to question.
"Is it the ring? Do you hate it?" He asked as he slowly started to stand up.
"No, it's not about the ring. But I mean, where is this coming from? We had a plan! We were both going to finish school, start our careers and then think about marriage! Why have you been acting so strange lately anyway?'"
Alden sighed. "Look, I know, ok? You don't have to hide it from me anymore. And... I'm ok with it now that I've had some time to let it sink in. In fact, I'm actually kind of excited." He reached out his hand to touch Sharon's stomach.
Sharon jumped back in shock as she wasn't expecting him to touch her there.
"You know what? What's going on?" She demanded to know.
"You know, about the baby. I know you're pregnant."
"Pregnant?" She repeated, in total disbelief. "What the hell? Why do you think I'm pregnant?"
"It's ok." Alden reassured her as he stroked her arm. "Adam told me. He saw the pregnancy test you left in the living room a couple of weeks ago. And he told me just to make sure I wouldn't bail on you when I found out. But as you can see, I won't! I want to do the right thing and marry you. Now all I need is for you to say yes. Then we can be a little family."
"Adam? Adam told you this? Are you freaking kidding me?"
"Look, I get why you're mad..."
"Mad? No, I'm past mad now. I'm pissed off! And I'm also not pregnant."
"Wait... WHAT?" Alden asked in shock as he stared at the ring he was still holding.
Sharon sighed. She knew this would make things even more awkward than they already were. And she knew she was about to go against Hannah's wishes just now. But still, Alden deserved to know the truth. Besides, it's not like this was Adam. She trusted Alden not to blab this information.
"The test was Hannah's. Not mine." She confessed.
"So Hannah is the one who's pregnant?"
"Yeah..." Then Sharon started thinking. Suddenly everything was starting to make sense.
"Oh my God!" She said, as it all finally dawned on her. "This is why everyone was acting so weird about me wanting to have some wine! Why Adam was lecturing me over it. And why you're suddenly so concerned about the way I'm eating and why you wouldn't let me move band equipment..."
Alden blushed. "Um, yeah. Sorry about that. But in my defense, I meant well."
Sharon put a reassuring hand on her boyfriend's shoulder and smiled. "I know you did. And you've been very sweet too. I'm glad to know you really would stick by my side if I were actually pregnant. And that proposal? It was absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything better."
"But I'm guessing you're gonna say no? You know, since you're not really pregnant..."
Sharon sighed and gave Alden a half-smile.
"I'm sorry Alden. I love you so much. And I can definitely see myself marrying you someday. And having kids with you. In fact, I can't imagine a future with anybody else. But I'm just not ready to be married yet. I'm 17 and you're 18. I just think we're too young. I want to focus on college and becoming a vet right now. And I think you should also focus on college and your music career with Mangled Metal. I want us both to achieve our dreams."
Alden nodded, but he looked sad.
"I respect your decision." He said dejectedly. "I'm glad I saved the receipt on the ring, at least."
Sharon put and arm around Alden's shoulder.
I still want to be your girlfriend though. And I hope you still want to be my boyfriend, even though I declined your proposal."
Alden put an arm around Sharon's shoulder as well and smiled at her.
"Of course I do. I totally understand why you said no."
"Good." She said as she smiled back.
The two teens kept their arms around each other as they walked back to the dinner.
"Oh and please don't say anything to Adam, ok? Hannah wants to tell him on her own. But she's not ready yet."
"Um... well... ok. He won't hear anything about it from me. But Sharon, you should really let him know that you're not pregnant. He's really worried about you."
"Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure he knows it all right. I can't believe he would tell you before I had a chance to! I mean, I know he turned out to be wrong. But still..."
"Try not to be too mad at your brother. I know it must've been frustrating for you to not understand what was going on. But he was trying to look out for you."
Sharon sighed. "I know you're right. I just wish he would've asked me about it first. It sure would've saved us all a whole lot of drama!"
"Speaking of that, I'm gonna have to clear this up with Maria, Brock and Carmen as well..."
"WHAT?" Sharon shouted. "Why would you tell them I'm pregnant before talking to me about it?"
"I only told Brock." Alden replied meekly. "Maria and Carmen just happened to walk in when I was talking to him and heard everything. And the only reason I told Brock is because you weren't talking to me. I thought you were afraid to and I really needed to talk to someone about this. He's my best friend."
"Ok, I guess I can understand why you needed to talk with your best friend about this. But still, I don't need more people thinking I'm pregnant when I'm not.
"I'll find the three of them and let them know we're not gonna be parents after all."
When they got back to the Spitz house, Sharon pulled Hannah aside.
"Can I talk to you outside for a minute? I need to tell you something."
"Ok, sure." Hannah said as she followed the teenage girl outside.
"Look, I think you need to tell Adam you're pregnant. I know you're worried about his reaction. But... listen. He thinks I'm the one who's pregnant."
"What?" Hannah asked, sounding surprised. "Why would he think that?"
Sharon then explained the entire story to Hannah.
"Oh my God..." Hannah said after Sharon had finished giving her all the details."I'm so sorry Sharon. I never meant to cause this much chaos."
"It's ok. It's not your fault. But you should tell Adam the truth so that this whole thing could be straightened out once and for all. I understand you're scared. But think of it this way. Adam told Alden because he wanted to make sure he wasn't gonna ditch me if I was pregnant. If he wouldn't want anyone treating his sister like that, why would he treat you that way? And if he wanted to make sure his niece or nephew would be taken care of, don't you think he'll want to do everything he can to take care of his own child?"
"You're right." Hannah said with a smile. "I guess I just got freaked with all the changes that are about to occur in my life. And in Adam's. Our whole life as a couple is going to change. Pretty soon, it won't just be the two of us anymore. I think I was just having so much trouble accepting that myself, that I thought Adam might react the same way. But I think maybe I was a bit too quick to assume. I'll go find him now."
"Good." Sharon replied, as she sighed with relief.
As they went back inside, Sharon and Hannah went over to Alden and Adam, respectively.
Sharon couldn't help but notice how sad Alden seemed.
"Are you ok?" She asked him.
"I guess." He replied with a sigh. "I mean, I'm ok with you turning down my proposal. We have plenty of time to get married. It's just... well... I really believed we were going to have a baby. And I started making plans for how we would make things work as a family. And I know it's for the best that you're not pregnant. It would've made things a lot harder for us. But... well... I don't know. I just got excited about the idea of becoming a father. And I guess I'm just disappointed to learn that it's not going to happen."
"Well, not just yet. But it will one day. Look, I understand how you feel. We might not be ready to have kids yet, but you'll make a great father when we finally are. I know you will."
"And I know you'll be a great mom too. But I get it. I'm sure you want to finish vet school before we get married and have kids. And I know it'll take you almost a decade. But it'll be worth the wait, because there's nobody else I would rather spend my life with."
"Well... maybe we don't really have to wait THAT long..."
"Really?"
"Well... I mean, Adam and Hannah are both still in school. And they're about to have a child. If they can make it work somehow, I think we can too. Let's just see how the first couple of years of college go for us. Then maybe we can seriously start to talk about getting married and starting a family together."
Alden smiled at Sharon. "I like the sound of that plan."
"Me too." She agreed.
Hannah took a deep breath as she approached Adam. This was it. The moment she had been so afraid of. She walked over to Adam and just hoped for the best.
"Hey Adam..." She nervously greeted Adam as she walked over to him.
"Hannah, hey!" Adam said as he hugged his fiancee and gave her a peck on the lips. "I feel like I haven't seen you all night. Is everything ok?"
"Um, yeah. I think so. At least, I hope it will be."
Truth is, that was a loaded question. Whether or not everything was ok really depended on how Adam would react to her news.
"Are you still feeling nauseous?"
She nodded her head. "Yeah, I am. And actually there's a reason for that."
She then looked around and saw that more people were arriving to the rehearsal dinner. She knew she couldn't break the news to him in front of all their guests like that. It just wouldn't be right at all.
"Can we go outside for a minute? There's something I really need to talk to you about."
"Yeah, sure."
The soon-to-be married couple both headed out the door together.
Once they were a few inches away from the Spitz house, the 2 stood there in silence for about a minute.
"So... what's up?" Adam inquired.
"Well... there's something I have to tell you. And to be honest, I've known about it for a couple of weeks already. But... I'm just afraid you're gonna freak out..."
Adam wrapped an arm around his soon-to-be wife. "Come on, Han. You know you can tell me anything. After all, I'm about to be your husband. If you can't talk to me, who can you talk to?
Hannah sighed. "Yeah, you're right. I know you're right." She then took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Once she was ready to tell her news, she spoke fast.
"So the pregnancy test you saw wasn't Sharon's. It was mine."
Adam's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. It sounded like you said..."
"No, you did." Hannah interrupted. "Not only are you gonna be a husband, but you're about to be a father too. So... congratulations?"
Adam sat down on the curb, afraid he might pass out otherwise.
"Ok... you're right. I am kinda freaked out. I thought you were on the pill?" Although he knew very well that the pill was not 100% effective. He just never thought it would fail him.
"I am. Or was, at least. I stopped taking it when I found out I was pregnant. But while I was studying for finals and planning the wedding, I think there were days I forgot to take my pill. I'm really sorry, Adam..."
"It's ok." He reassured her. "I mean... I know you didn't do it on purpose."
There was a few minutes of silence. Finally Hannah sat down next to Adam on the curb and put her arm around him.
"And you're sure it wasn't a false positive?" Adam asked Hannah.
Hannah nodded. "I went to a doctor for a blood test to confirm it. And with the kind of morning sickness I've had, trust me. There's definitely a bun in my oven."
"Wow... this is... a lot to take in. I have to be honest."
Then a thought occurred to him.
"Wait... so if the pregnancy test was yours and not Sharon's then... oh my God! Alden!"
Hannah rubbed Adam's back and nodded. "Yeah, Sharon told me everything. Alden actually popped the question because he believed Sharon was pregnant. Looks like you have some straightening out to do."
When Hannah and Adam got back inside, Adam saw Sharon and Alden talking to each other. They both seemed happy, so it appeared he didn't screw things up too badly. He walked over to the teenage couple.
"Sharon, I owe you a BIG apology! And you too, Alden. Alden, I'm sorry for freaking you out over nothing. And Sharon, I'm sorry for passing the wrong information on to your boyfriend. And for stopping you from drinking wine for no real reason. And for prompting Alden to propose to you out of nowhere. Can you guys forgive me?"
Sharon and Alden both looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Sure."
Adam sighed in relief. "Thank you!"
But then Sharon sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Seriously, Adam. If you thought I was pregnant, don't you think maybe you should've just asked me about it? You know, before you went and told my boyfriend?"
Adam sighed once again. "You're right. I should've talked to you about it before I told Alden anything. I was just afraid he was gonna be like a lot of 18-year-old boys. You know, I thought he might freak out and leave you to deal with this all alone if you caught him by surprise. And I didn't want that to happen to you. But I can see I was wrong about that too." He then smiled at the teen couple.
"At least now I know my kid sister is in good hands."
Sharon walked over to Adam and hugged him. "Thank you for looking out for me. As misguided as it may have been this time, I know it was well-intentioned. And I appreciate you having my back. I really do."
"Anytime, sis."
"So I assume Hannah told you the truth about whose test that actually was?"
"Yeah..."
"And how are you handling the fact that you're gonna be a father? Are you doing ok with it?"
"Not sure how ok I am with it yet, but I think I just need time to process it. The truth is, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I mean, I'm only 21. What do I know about raising kids? In fact, I really don't know much about kids to begin with..."
"Well, you'll learn. You and Hannah will both learn together. I mean, parenthood doesn't exactly come with a manual. You just both have to help each other learn along the way. And as the aunt, I'll be more than happy to babysit my little niece or nephew whenever I visit you in Toronto."
"I'll definitely take you up on that one. So you really think I'll be a good dad?"
"Well, you've shown just how protective you are of me lately. And I know you're that way with Josh too. And If you're even half that good with own child, you'll be an amazing dad!"
Adam smiled at his sister as he gave her a hug.
"Thank you, Sharon. That was exactly what I needed to hear."
"You're welcome."
So the wait for chapter 4 is finally over! I know it took me almost a month, but I finally did it! Once again, I apologize for the wait. Things have been crazy for me lately. But hope everyone liked this chapter (and hope it was worth waiting for!). So, looks like everything has been cleared up! Everyone now knows Sharon isn't pregnant and Hannah is! Next chapter should be the last. It will have Hannah and Adam's wedding, as well as the birth of their baby (and it will be revealed if they're having a girl or a boy!). And I hope to have chapter 5 up much faster!
