The next three days went by slowly and sadly.

Tamarah and Zac still hadn’t even revealed to Walker and Diana that they had had sex, and now they were at the Atlanta, GA, concert waiting to start.

Soon the concert had started and Tamarah and Amanda were alone on the bus crying on Tay and Ike’s bunk bed.

"Look, I’ll be here for you, you know that, in what ever might happen, now do us all a favor and take this test!" Amanda suggested.

Tamarah walked into the bathroom still sobbing and set the timer for 15 minutes.

The next 15 minutes went by crying while listening to Admiral Twin starting the concert up.

The timer let out a quick ‘ding’ and Tamarah walked into the bathroom to check the test.

"And…." Amanda managed to gasp between her tears.

"Positive," Tamarah sobbed and collapsed to the bathroom floor.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Zac, sweetheart, sit down," Tamarah said when she and him were alone on the bus an hour after the concert.

"Oh God, why do I have the feeling it’s not good?" Zac asked with his eyes already filled with tears.

"Because it’s not!" Tamarah snapped.

"Oh God."

"Oh God is right…..I’m pregnant!" Tamarah explained now with her tears streaming down her face and same with Zac..

"But you can’t be!! It’s got to be a false alarm! We only did it once, how can that be??" Zac protested.

"One time is all it takes, as Jenny Jones always says."

"Well, how are we gonna tell my parents?"

"Let’s tell your mom first, and then we’ll let her tell you dad!" Tamarah suggested.

Just then Diana entered the bus with a sleeping Zoë and a hyper Mackie with Jessica and Avery following.

"MOM!! Can we talk to you for a minute!" Zac yelled jumping up wiping his tears frantically.

"Yeah sure, what is it?" Diana asked as she put Zoë in her car seat sitting on the couch beside Zac and Tamarah.

"Well, we kinda need to talk to you about it privately!" Tamarah suggested and pointed outside, for may be them to talk there.

"Yeah, okay, just wait till Ike gets back," Diana said and just then Ike stepped into the bus.

"Wow, talk about the devil you’ll step on its tail," Tamarah joked and motioned for Zac and Diana to take it outside.

As everyone got outside Zac motioned for Diana to sit on top of an ice cooler.

"What is it guys? Come on spit it out, it can’t be that bad," Diana pressured the pregnant couple.

"Oh yes it can be that bad!" Zac yelled now back to the old hyper Zachary Walker Hanson.

"Diana, mom, I’m pregnant!" Tamarah said softly with tears starting up again.

"Did you just say you were pregnant, Tammie?" Diana whispered softly.

"Yes…..yes, I did, ma’am," Tamarah replied hoping she wouldn’t lose her temper.

"Oh my God, I never thought I’d be a grandmother, at 43, and a mother of a not even a year old baby! But I sure am happy!" Diana stated with a huge smile on her face.

"Wait a minute, mom, you’re happy about all this? I mean, we’re only 13 years old, here!" Zac yelled pointing his index finger at his mother.

"I’m not totally happy, guys, I mean, it’s against the Bible to have sex before marriage, that I’m disappointed in you for! But as far as the baby, I’m very happy, it’s all gonna be okay, don’t worry, you guys have the money to raise this child, and you’re both very loving teenagers, and I know you’ll do fine in whatever decision you decide to make, if you want an abortion, I am not okay with that, and same with adoption, just keep this child, me and Walker with certainly take care of it! And Tamarah, I’ll homeschool you and Amanda if you would like to stay on tour with us, for the sake of the baby! We’ll pay for whatever you need! Now come here, lemme give you two cuties a hug!" Diana explained blabbing on, and opened her arms for Zac and Tamarah to meet her for a hug.

"Walker, sit down!" Diana ordered when everyone was in bed, and Walker and Diana were the only ones awake. The boys had to do another show in Atlanta tomorrow night.

"What is it?" Walker replied as he sat down on the couch across from where his wife was sitting.

"Tamarah is pregnant!" Diana just blurted out.

"Wow, cool, my 18 year old son is not a virgin anymore!" Walker said thinking Ike was the one that had gotten her pregnant.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!" Diana yelled, wondering what Walker had meant.

"It is Ike that got her pregnant, isn’t it?" Walker asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"No, you dumb do, it was Zac!"

"Zac?"

"Zac."

"EVEN BETTER!!!" Walker yelled with his hands up in the air.

"Well, we’re gonna hafta tell the rest of the family tomorrow at breakfast, we still are eating outside, aren’t we?" Diana asked.

"Yeah, 8 a.m. be there!" and with that Walker lied down on the couch with a huge smile on his face, grabbed a blanket and soon fell asleep while Diana went in the bedroom.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ike, did you hear that?" Taylor whispered from the top bunk.

"Yeah I heard, Tamarah is pregnant!" Ike whispered almost yelling.

"Yeah, oh well, we’ll hear the rest of the story in the morning, good night!" Taylor said and the boys both drifted off into a nice deep sleep.
