That night Brian's house was loaded. All of Maria's friends and her parents came to visit her, and see how she was doing

"Oh we're so glad you're ok!" says Maria's mom, whiping a tear from her eyes and leaning over to hug Maria.
"Thanks mom, Brian can I talk to you in private for a second?" Maria responds, taking Brian's hand and almost dragging him into the other room.
"Brian, are we gonna tell them tonight?"
"Tell them what?" Brian looks confused.
"That I'm pregnant! duh! if not when are we planning on telling them?"
"Um I dunno, it may be a little too much for them right now" "Well they're gonna find out eventually Brian" Maria said looking down @ her stomach. "Ok sure then we'll tell them tonight."

Maria and Brian leave the room and sit back on the couch by Maria's parents.
"Sorry guys, its almost 10:30 and I've gotta get up kinda early tommorow to go to work, so I've gotta go, call me tommorow Maria and we'll chat!" Jan says, grabbing her coat.
"I might as well leave too then, cya B-Rok." AJ responds.
Everybody else except Sara, Nick, and Maria's parents get up and head for the door.
"Geez this is nice, everybody's leaving!" Maria yells smiling.
"Sorry Maria, we'll cya tommorow, sorry we couldn't stay longer!" Howie says while walking out the door.
Sara & Nick decide to stay a little longer.
"Um mom, dad," Maria says tensley, looking at the ceiling, "me and Brian have something very important to tell you."
Brian immediately says "oh my god", freaks out and runs for the door. Nick leaves and follows Brian.
"Oh shit" Maria whispers, looking at Sara, "Ok mom, dad, I have something important to tell you, dad you have to promise not to murder Brian"
Maria's dad's face becomes pale white, "Ok yeah sure."
"Mom, dad, I'm pregnant."
Maria's mom and dad freeze.
A smile comes across Maria's mom's face.
"I'm gonna be a grandma!" she yells, getting off the couch.

Her dad was still a little in shock but he got up, smiled and hugged his daughter.(well really step daught but we'll just say daughter)
"When did this happen? When is the baby due? Is it a girl or a boy?"
Her mom blurted out all at once.
"Geez mom calm down"
Maria said smiling and putting her hand on her moms shoulder.

"We don't know if it is a girl or a boy yet. And figuring it takes 9 months to have a baby, probably around July 4th." she said.
"So when are you two getting married?"
Maria's dad said, coming out of his "trance" pretty quickly.
Maria and Brian looked at each other a gulped.
"Um...we don't know yet"
Maria said nevously.
"Well you should get married before the baby is born"
Her mom said.
All this talk was putting pressure on Maria, she couldn't take it, and with that she ran out of the room crying.
Sara went in to see what was wrong with her sister, while Brian stayed in the living room with her parents and talked.
