Will it Always be like this?
Ray had just gotten home from a church outing. He really didn't want to go because he knew Katie was telling her parents the news tonight. Now quite frankly, he didn't want to be at her house either because he knew that her parent's hated him. He could never quite figure out why exactly they hated him. It wasn't like he was every rude to them. But Katie loved him and that was all that mattered.
He checked his phone and wondered why he hadn't received any messages from Katie. Maybe she hadn't told them yet. Ray knew her parents were kind of overbearing and over protective. That meant that she had to break the news delicately. He changed out of his church clothes and threw on some shorts. Then he heard is mom calling him from downstairs. The tone in her voice made it sound urgent. So he threw his shirt on the bed and headed for the stairs. Once he opened his bedroom door he could hear the sounds of heavy sobbing. And there collapsed in his mom's arms was Katie. Her bags were on the floor and her arms were around Ray's mom.
"Katie! What happened?" Ray rushed to Katie's side. He had never seen Katie in this state and it worried him.
"Ray, I'm going to take Katie up to my bedroom. Can you take her stuff to the guest room, please?" Ray didn’t even answer his mother before she was already bringing Katie upstairs to her room. Ray did as he was told and brought Katie's stuff to the guest room. Once he had finished that he stood by his mom's door and listened closely to the sobbing that was going on inside. He eventually gave up on trying to make out the words Katie was saying. He would get his chance to talk to her alone.
Ray went downstairs and sat next to his dad on the couch. They sat in silence for about a minute before Ray finally spoke what was on his mind. "Dad, I'm so confused." Ray heard his dad chuckle a little bit. "I'm serious. This isn't just about trivial relationship stuff anymore. This is serious and I don't know what to do about it. Katie is hurting and I don't know how to fix it."
Ray's dad breathed out a sigh and put his hand on Ray's shoulder. "Ray I wish that I had the answer. I really do. But every relationship will have its ups and downs. And you won't always be able to fix every problem Katie may have. There are some problems your mother has that I have no idea what to do." Ray looked up a his dad. Ray was always under the misconception that his dad was able to solve everything. He never realized that there were problems that his dad couldn't fix.
"What do you do when that happens?" asked Ray. His dad stood up and sat on the table in front of Ray so he was looking him in the eye.
"Ray, you just listen. When she talks, you listen to what she is saying. Don't try and fix everything. That may frustrate her even more then the situation. All she needs to know is that you are there for her and that you will be there to support her. That will mean more to her than you trying to fix her problem." Ray's mom came downstairs and joined the two of them in the living room.
"Well, Katie is asleep in the guest room." She sat down in the chair next to Ray. Ray got up and started to head for the guest room. "Ray, let her sleep. She has had a tough night and she needs to rest." Ray looked at his mom and then at his dad. Ray reluctantly sat down on the couch and contemplated on what had just occurred.
"Mom?" Ray said without looking at her.
"Yes, Ray?" His mom was turned to him and looked straight at him.
"Will it always be like this? If Katie and I get married will we always have to deal with this?" Ray's mom looked to her husband and then down to the floor.
"Ray, I'm not going to lie to you and say that everything is going to be easy. Your father and I had a very difficult time the first few years. You will have to get used to each other living under the same roof. You will have to cooperate with each other and deal with each other's problems. And having a baby added to the mix could make those problems harder to deal with. It isn't impossible, but it isn't easy."
Ray stood up from the couch and walked to the stairs. "I'm going to head to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." He started up the stairs when his mom stopped him.
"Alright Ray. Sleep well. We love you," said his mom. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
Ray went up to his room and sat on his bed. There were so many thoughts going through his mind right now and he had no idea how to sort it all out. He had just seen Katie in a state that he hoped he would never see her in. He didn't love her any less, but he was starting to wonder if he could handle not always being able to fix a problem she had. Every since they started dating he had been her "knight in shining armor", coming to her rescue whenever she had issues with her parents. And the reality that they were going to be parents at eighteen years old had started to sink in. Could he really handle all of the pressure of having a family? He had always had everything provided for him. He never really wanted for anything. He wasn't spoiled, but his parents had definitely gone above and beyond while raising him. Could he do the same for his family?

A Future Unknown: Chapter Three
The Hard Knock Life
Katie sat at the dinner table with her parents and little sister named Beth. Beth was talking about her day at preschool and her parents were eagerly listening. Katie just sat there, barely touching her food. Ray was supposed to come over tonight so they could tell her parents together. But his parents dragged him to this church outing at the last minute. So that meant that Katie was all alone on this one. Her head was pounding and she was nervous. Maybe she could just tell Ray that she told them without really telling them. No, that wouldn't have been fair. Ray told his parents and now it was her turn. She just wished Ray was here to support her.
"Katie, you've barely touched your food. Are you feeling sick again?" Katie's mom looked at her from the end of the table. Her mom was always there for her and she knew she truly cared about her.
"Katie, you need to be careful. You don't want to get sick too often. If you miss enough school you'll miss your chance at getting into your dream school. I know how much you want to go to Stanford," said Katie's dad. Katie's dad always brought up school at the dinner table. He felt he constantly needed to remind her of her dream of going to Stanford. She felt like no matter how good she was doing in school, it was never good enough for her dad. She had a 3.9 grade point average and all he could focus on was what she hadn't accomplished. But now she had other dreams. Dreams that didn't…that couldn't include Stanford.
"Yes, mom I'm fine. And don't worry dad, I know." Then Katie went right back to moving her food around her plate. She never really conversed with her parents. Maybe that was why she was having such a difficult time figuring out how she was going to tell them.
Katie's mom stood up and picked up Beth's plate and placed it in the kitchen. When she returned she brought out a bowl of ice cream for Beth. "So, I thought Ray was supposed to come over for dinner. Is everything alright with you two?" Katie's dad rolled his eyes just hearing Ray's name.
"If you two were to break-up, that would be the happiest day of my life," said Katie's dad.
"Harold! Don't say that!" Katie wasn't oblivious to the fact that her dad didn't like Ray. Then again he never really tried to hide it. She didn't really care though because his reason was a figment of his imagination.
"It's fine mom, I already know you guys don't like Ray. And just so you know everything between Ray and I are great. So there is no chance of us breaking up." Katie had a hint of irritation in her voice. Then her dad gave her "the look" and she just stopped talking.
"Katie, it isn't that we don't like Ray. We just don't really like his parent's style of parenting. They are too permissive. He doesn't have a curfew and he can basically do what he pleases." Mary tried to make it sound like that was the real issue, but Katie knew better.
"No, Mary. I don't like Ray. I think he is playing with Katie and he is just using her. Once he goes off to college he will find some other girl and break her heart. I just wish she would see that." Her dad got up from the table and started walking into the living room. Once he went there, that meant the discussion was over. But Katie wasn't going to let him speak about Ray like that.
"No, dad! He isn't playing with me. In fact, you guys should know that he wants to get married and have a family with me." Katie was upset and it showed in her face, body language, and tone.
"Katie, don't talk to your father like that. I don’t care if you are upset. You will respect him," said Mary.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I just can't let you guys talk about him like that anymore. I love him and he loves me." Katie started to walk to her room when her dad stopped her.
"Katie, I don’t care if you love him. You will not be marrying anyone without my permission. And I certainly will not be giving you permission to marry Ray. I know his type and it will only lead you to a road of heartbreak." Her dad looked at her and waited for her to say something.
"Well, like it or not, I will always be connected to Ray. I'm pregnant! We are going to be a family. Ray, our baby, and I…" Katie looked at her parents and waited for their response. Her mom had a look of disappointment. Her dad looked furious.
"How on earth could you make such a terrible decision!? You realize that you just threw away all four years of high school and your future all for what? A boy? A boy that probably doesn't even love you! You are not the daughter I raised you to be!" Her dad just screamed and screamed.
"Mom, are you going to let him talk like this…?" Katie was pleading with her mom to make him stop. She was the only one who could.
"I'm sorry Katie…your father is right…" Her mom just picked Beth up and walked outside.
Katie walked up the stairs fast so she could get away from her parents. "Where do you think you are going young lady? We aren't done here!" Her dad yelled up the stairs after her.
"I am! I am done!" Katie ran into her room and slammed the door. She made sure to lock it behind her so her dad couldn't come in.
Katie fell on the bed and started sobbing. Her whole body ached and she just couldn't stand to be in that house one more second. She got up and went to her closet. She grabbed some of her belongings and threw them in a duffel bag. She grabbed her phone, laptop, school bag and headed for her window. Her room was on the other side of the house so there was no chance that her parents would see her leaving. She sat on her window sill and looked back into her room one last time. Katie decided that it was time for her to make this choice for her and her baby. So, she said goodbye to her home and threw her duffel bag out the window. Katie didn't know where she was going to go. But she knew that she couldn't stay at home with her parents. And with that final thought, she made her way down the tree next to her window, grabbed her duffel, and was on her way.

A Future Unknown: Chapter Two
The First Hurdle
Katie and Ray were laying in his bed and watching TV. It had been one month since they had found out that they were going to be parents. To them this past month had seemed like an eternity. Every day seemed to go by slower than the rest. Ray placed his hand on Katie's arm and gently moved his hand back and forth.
"Ray, we have to tell them. I can't keep walking around both our parents with this huge secret on my back," said Katie. She looked at him with concerned eyes. She was nervous to tell them, but she knew it had to be done.
"Well, technically the secret is in your stomach, not your back," said Ray with a bit of a chuckle. Katie glared at him with a look that was his warning. He knew now wasn't the time to be making jokes. But that was something he normally did in tense situations. "I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous about…you know…telling our parents." Katie could feel his hands start to clam up. She picked up his hand and turned around to face him.
"Ray, how could you possibly be nervous about telling your parents? I don't think I have ever seen them mad at you." Ray placed his hand in his hair and started to brush it back.
"It's not my parents I'm worried about…I'm worried about your parents. They were never incredibly fond of me. And now that I got you pregnant, they will probably never let me see you." Ray placed his head down between his knees. He couldn't believe that this was happening. He had been trying to stay strong for Katie this past month. But he just couldn't hold it back anymore.
"Ray, listen to me. We have to tell our parents. This is not something we can hide from them. We can tell them together. And know that no matter what my parents say, I will always be with you. I am going to be eighteen in two months and a mother in about eight months. It's time they let me grow up and make my own decisions. And my first choice is you and our baby." Katie placed her hand on his cheek. She gently kissed away the tear that had fallen down his face. "So, are we going to do this? Your parents are home now…"
Ray sighed deeply and gathered himself together. "Alright, let's go ahead and do this."
Ray stood up and placed his hand towards Katie. She grabbed ahold of his hand and got up with him. They walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Ray's parents were preparing dinner. Ray and Katie stopped in front of the counter and prepared for what was about to happen.
Hey Mom and Dad," said Ray. Katie could tell he was nervous. She squeezed his hand to reassure him that she was right beside him.
"Oh, hi sweetheart. How was school?" Ray's mom looked up briefly from what she was doing and flashed her award winning smile.
"We need to talk." Ray looked at his mom with a look of urgency. Katie placed her hand on his arm and whispered in his ear, "I'm right here."
"Ray what is this all about? Your father and I need to cook dinner and get everything ready for the church outing…" Ray's dad cut her off.
"Helen, let the boy talk. Whatever it is, it must be important. Go ahead sport. What's on your mind?" Ray's mom and dad now had his full and undivided attention.
"You may want to sit down for this. Now I know you guys love me and you support my choices. And one of those choices is that I am in love with Katie and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Ray looked down at Katie. "And not only am I going to be with Katie, but also our child."
Ray's mom and dad were at a loss for words. They looked at each other and then back at Katie and Ray. "Son, are you saying that Katie is pregnant?" said Ray's dad. Ray let out a deep breath and then answered his father with a simple. "Yes".
"Now before you guys get upset at Katie, this wasn't her fault. And I want you both to know that we have talked about what we are going to do about school and we have also talked about what we both want to do with the baby." Ray was very passionate about this topic. Katie could tell it was something he really cared about which made her smile a little inside. "We want to keep the baby. It's our child and we want to raise it."
Ray's parents looked at each other, unsure of what to even think. The first one to finally say something was Ray's dad. "Raymond, how could you be so irresponsible? I mean its not like we didn't think you were going to eventually have sex. But you should have taken some form of precautions. Raising a baby is hard work especially at your age..."
Ray's mom looked at her husband and placed her hand on his arm so he would stop. She looked at Katie and said, "Have you told your parents yet?" Katie just shook her head and then looked back down in shame.
"Well, it sounds like you two have talked about this. You two are both grown. While we may not be happy with the situation, we want to assure you both that we will help you two with whatever you need. Especially seeing how I am going to have my first grandchild." She walked over to both Katie and Ray and hugged them tight.
Ray's dad sighed and then walked over as well and put his hand on Ray's shoulder. "Your mother is right. You have us to support you and we will do whatever we need to do to make sure this baby is born healthy and will be provided for."
Ray and Katie looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Now there was just one more thing they had to do. They had to tell Katie's parents the news….
"Ray, we have to tell them. I can't keep walking around both our parents with this huge secret on my back," said Katie. She looked at him with concerned eyes. She was nervous to tell them, but she knew it had to be done.

A Future Unknown: Chapter One
A Big Surprise
Katie sat alone in her bedroom. She was scared and unsure. She didn't know what to do or what to say. But she had to figure something out because her boyfriend would be at her house in a matter of minutes. Maybe she could just keep it a secret--although that was highly unlikely. She knew what she needed to do, she just was unsure if she would be able to do so when the time came.
Katie heard a knock on the door. She instinctively threw the test to the other side of the room hoping that Ray wouldn't see it from the bed. "Come in," she said in her normal upbeat voice.
Ray opened the door and walked in with a box of chocolates and a purple daisy. He knew it was her favorite. Then it dawned on Katie that today was there one year anniversary. And did she have a surprising gift in store for him. "Hey Katie. Happy anniversary!" He kissed her on the cheek and handed her the gifts. "I missed you at school today. Why didn't you come?" He sat next to her and tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I just wasn't really feeling well. I haven't eaten a solid meal all day." Katie looked across the room at where she had thrown the test. Should she really tell him the news?
"Aww, why didn't you tell me? I would have brought you some real food instead of chocolate." He was so caring. He always knew how to take care of her, even when she didn't want him to. Would he take care of her when she needed him most?
"I'm still not really hungry. Thanks though. I really like your gifts." Katie faked a smile as best as she could. All she could think about was this news that she had. She didn't want to tell him, but she had no other choice. Katie walked over to her desk and pulled a box out of the drawer. She figured she would give him something good to think about before the bad. "Here this is for you." She handed him the box and then sat next to him on the bed.
Ray opened the box and saw the new watch that Katie had gotten for him. "I love it. And my watch just broke today. So now I can use this watch." He placed it on his wrist and smiled at Katie. She couldn't muster up enough strength to fake a smile this time. Instead, she broke down crying. Ray placed his arms around her. "What's wrong? Is it something I said?"
"No, it isn’t anything you said. But I have one more thing I have to tell you." She looked back at the corner and that was when Ray noticed the test. She wasn't sure what he was thinking. All she could gather was that he was in just as much shock as she was, if not more.
"Is that what I think it is?" He looked at the corner again and then back at Katie. Katie nodded her head and then looked down at her hands. She couldn't look up at him. She didn't want to see the emotion on his face.
"I have been throwing up for the past week. I figured I should take a test seeing how we…you know…" The tears that she had been holding back since Ray came started to fall once again. "I am so sorry…I didn't mean for this to happen…" Katie got up from the bed and walked over to her window. She looked out at the world and somehow it felt different.
Katie could hear Ray get up from the bed and walk over to the corner. He was so calm about it, he was always calm about everything. That was why they were so perfect for each other. When Katie was being a basket case about something, Ray would come along-side her and calm her down. Would he do the same now or would he walk away forever? "If you want to leave I will totally understand," said Katie.
"Katie, look at me. I'm still here aren't I?" He was right. He was still there, standing in front of her holding the test in one hand and her daisy in the other. "This isn't your fault. We both knew what could happen. This stuff happens all the time. But you want to know what is different with us?" He held his hand out toward Katie and she held onto it tightly. "I will be with you every step of the way." Ray smiled at her with his infamous smile.
"Ray, I love you so much." Katie wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Ray pulled her into a kiss and she felt like everything would be okay.
A Future Unknown
They are faced with something that will change both of their futures. Neither is sure what to do, but they know they have each other. That should be more than enough to get through this difficult time. But they may soon find out that not even that is certain.
