Justin was in school taking a shower.  He always waited until everyone else was gone to have some privacy.  He was washing his hair when he heard a door open and close.  He quickly rinsed away the soap so he could open his eyes and see who else was there.

“What are you doing here?”  Justin asked shocked.

Chris looked at him but didn’t answer.  He walked closer to Justin not caring that his clothes were getting wet.

“I…I…”

“Of fuck.”  Justin said realizing what was going on.  “You are gay.”

“I’m not!”  Chris hissed.

Justin smirked and moved closer to Chris.  He caressed the boy’s chest and smile when Chris closed his eyes.

“Maybe I should go then.”  Justin said with a smile.

“Wait.”  Chris said.  

“What?”  Justin asked. 

“I…”  Chris said and frowned.  “I’m confused.

“You are?”  Justin asked.

Chris nodded.

Justin smiled and pushed Chris against the wall.

“Then let me help you decide.”  Justin said.

Justin got down on his knees with a smile.  He was going to have one of many fantasies come to life.

Daphne waited with Justin and Chris in the little clinic.  She still remembered how Justin had come running to her to tell her what had happened.  He and Chris had started fooling around in the showers and one thing led to another.  Justin told her that he had fucked Chris and the condom had broken.  

They had come and done the test.  Now both boys had been called back to the clinic.  Daphne just hoped everything was okay.  She looked at Chris who was biting his lower lip and grabbed his hand, giving him a smile.

“Hello, I’m Charlie Henderson, the doctor.”  He told them.

The three of them got up.

“What’s going on?”  Justin asked.

“Why were we called in?”  Chris asked.

“Well, Mr. Hobbs’s check was no good.  That’s why he was called.”  Dr. Henderson told them.

“Oh fuck.”  Chris hissed.

“I’ll pay for it.”  Daphne said. 

“Right this way.”  Dr. Henderson told them as he walked with them to the counter.

Once Daphne had paid the lady in the reception desk, the doctor gave Chris his results.

“I’m okay.”  Chris told them.

The doctor nodded.

“You are going to have to come back in six months.  It’s procedure.”  The doctor added when he saw Chris expression.

“So why was I called?”  Justin asked.

“We can do this in private.”  Dr. Henderson told them.

“No.”  Justin said, not wanting to be alone as he grasped Daphne’s hand.

“Mr. Taylor, you are pregnant.”  The doctor said.

“Oh.”  Justin said.  “What?”  Justin asked shocked.

“What does he mean by you are pregnant?”  Chris asked.

Daphne and Justin looked at each other.

“Brian.”  Justin and Daphne said at the same time.

“Who is Brian?”  Chris asked.

Dr. Henderson decided to walk away at that moment.  He didn’t want to get involved.  His patient could call later to schedule an appointment.

“Brian is his boyfriend.”  Daphne said.

“Oh my god.  I’m pregnant.”  Justin whispered.

“You have a boyfriend?”  Chris asked.  “What about us?”

Daphne bit her lower lip and looked at Justin who seemed to be in some other place.

“Chris, we were just fooling around.”  Justin explained, coming out of his shock.

“Fooling around!”  Chris shouted.  “I let you fuck me.”

Chris shook his head.

“You know what, Taylor, fuck you.”  Chris hissed.  “Don’t talk to me…just stay away from me.”

“Chris.”  Justin said as he walked after Chris.

“Let him go.”  Daphne said stopping Justin.

Justin looked at Chris retreating back before he looked at Daphne.

“What?”  Justin asked when he saw Daphne’s little smile.

“You are pregnant.”  Daphne said.  “What are you going to do?”

Justin bit his lower lip.  He had no clue at all.

Justin swallowed as he put the papers down on his desk.  He kept looking at them over and over again.  When the clinic had called him to tell him he had to come in, he had thought the worse.  He had thought of calling Brian, but then stopped himself since at the moment he thought it involved Chris.  Now he just stared at the papers that told him he was pregnant.  He was going to be a father and he was barely seventeen years old.

Justin took a deep breath and closed his eyes.  He was now going to tell his parents that he was going to be a father.  He wanted to know how he was going to break the news to Brian.  The man was going to flip and Justin knew it.  He just didn’t want Brian telling him that he had to get rid of it because Justin was not going to.  He would do anything he had to so he could protect the life growing inside of him.

“Justin?  You wanted to talk to me?”  Craig asked.

Justin nodded and got up with the papers in his hand and gave them to his father.  Craig looked at his son before he looked at the papers.  He stared at them for a while before he looked back at Justin.

“Pack up your shit and leave.”

“But dad…”

“You are going to go before your mom comes here.  Are you listening to me?”  Craig asked.

Justin nodded.

“She knows I’m gay.”  Justin told him.

Craig glared at him before he slapped Justin.

“You are disgusting!  How can you say that?”  Craig asked angrily.

Justin put his hand where his father had hit him.

“I am so disappointed in you, Justin.  You are not my son.”  Craig hissed before he threw the tests in Justin’s face and left the room.

Justin opened his mouth, trying to find his voice, but nothing came out.  He got up and called Daphne to tell her to pick him up.  He grabbed a few of his clothes making sure he packed his sketchbook.  When he was done, he got out of his house and waited for Daphne.  As soon as she got there, Justin ran to her car and got in.

“Justin, what’s going on?”  Daphne asked as her friend got inside the car.

“I need to get here.”  Justin told her showing her a little piece of paper.  “Do you know where it is?”

Daphne nodded.

“What’s going on, Justin?  Tell me.”

“I told Dad and he kicked me out.”  Justin said as he started crying.

“Oh my god.  Why didn’t you tell your mom instead?”  Daphne asked as she parked the car.

“I don’t know.  I was just scared.”  Justin told her.  “I told her I had been careful and I thought she would think I was a liar.”

Daphne nodded as she hugged her friend.

“Are you going to tell Brian?”  Daphne asked.

“I don’t know.”  Justin told her.

“You have to.  He has a right to know.”  Daphne said.

“I know.”  Justin said.  “Could you please just drive me there?  We can talk about this later.”

“God, you are getting cranky already.”  Daphne mocked.  “Oh my god.  You are having kids before I am.”

Justin looked at her in shock.  Daphne looked at him with a big smile before the two of them were laughing nonstop.

“How many months do you think you have?”  Daphne asked.

“Well, I met Brian two months and a half ago.”  Justin said.  “It had to be then.  We had an accident.”

“An accident?”  Daphne asked.

“The condom broke.”  Justin said.  “It was the only time it happened.  We are always careful.”  Justin said.

Daphne nodded.

“Wow.  I still can’t believe it.”  Justin murmured.

“You will be okay.”  Daphne assured him.  

Justin smiled and hoped so.

***

Justin couldn’t believe what had happened to him.  He waved at Daphne who was waiting in the car just in case Justin needed to go someplace else.  Daphne would have offered to let Justin stay with her but she was leaving soon for college.  Sometimes she hated that she was older than Justin by two years.

Justin looked at the door and collected himself before he knocked.  He thought he would go to Brian’s house but didn’t think it was a good idea.  He just went to the one other person he knew he could count on.

“May I help you?”  

“Does Debbie live here?” Justin asked.

The guy nodded.

“Come on in.  I’m Vic Grassi.  I’m Debbie’s brother.”

Justin nodded.

“Is she here?”  Justin asked again.

“What’s going on?”  Debbie asked coming down the stairs.  “Justin, what’s wrong?”

Justin swallowed.

“Tell me what’s wrong!”  Debbie demanded.

“Dad kicked me out because…because I’m gay.” 

Debbie ran to him and hugged him.  Justin was not going to tell her that he was pregnant, at least not yet.

“I’m so sorry, Sunshine.”  Debbie told him.

“I was wondering if I could stay on your couch for a couple of days until I find something.”  Justin told her.

Debbie and Vic looked at each other with a smile.  Justin wondered what they had in mind.  He didn’t have to wonder for long when Debbie grabbed him by the hand and took him to the second floor to show him where he would be staying.  After he looked at his room, he came back down and waved Daphne goodbye.  She smiled at him before she drove away.  Justin stayed at the steps of the house for a while feeling very scared.
