�I am sorry I ��
�She�s not keeping it. I mean she is a child herself�
Howie�s mother spoke up now very worried herself as she said, �What do you mean?�
�Adoption of course�
Howie very frustrated with the whole situation look over to the stairs to see Lilah sitting there listening in about to cry so he decided the least he could do would be speak up for her as he said �I don�t think that�s best�I � see can take care of her baby.�
�How so� her mother said, �You should know you are the cause of it�
His mother was about to defend her son when Lilah came down �It�s not his fault, if I would have known, Mom and Dad that you sent me here for Howard to watch me I would not have come�I laid down with someone I love and made this baby on my own and this is my baby and I am not giving it up and Howie I�m so sorry and thank you.�
She ran back upstairs and he knew she really love AJ.
Howie that same day was at AJ�s door with her parents. He knocked and AJ opened the door as they all poured in he grew kind of nervous as Howie said �AJ this is my sister Lilah�s mother and this guy is her Dad.�
�I broke it off with your daughter�� he said quickly trying to defend himself.
Her mother smiled warmly at him as she said �Todd he seems like a nice guy�plus he�s cute I can see why she likes him so much he�s cute� she said looking around and so was Lilah�s father decided not to add on to his wife�s comment.
�I don�t understand� AJ said really confused.
Her mother walked back over to him as she said, �Do you love my daughter?�
�Yeah�
�Well can and will you do us the pleasure of joining us and Lilah on Christmas for dinner.�
�Really can I?� he said realizing he was a little to excited as he said �I can see her and everyone will be okay with it.�
Her mother laughed as she said, �Yes�
AJ looked over to Howie as he said �Even you?�
�Yeah, I�m sorry.�
�I just�well when Lilah came out here we told him to watch her but with looks like yours how could he�Lilah has good taste.�
�Well we have to go�we will see tomorrow at 7pm don�t be later� Howie said showing his sister and brother-in-law out the door out the door. After they left he was so happy but he now remembered he know had to get her a gift.
Christmas day began perfect but not for Lilah. All the little kids ran downstairs to open their presents and she sat on the couch rubbing her stomach thinking about one day she�ll be watching her son or daughter doing that her thoughts were broken when her mother asked �Are you okay?�
�Yeah� Howie placed a huge box in her lap as he said �Merry Christmas�
�Thank you� she opened the box and picked up �A key? Is this suppose to be the key to my heart or something.
He couldn�t help but laugh as he helped her up as he said, �Come on� he walked her outside and he covered her eyes. He walked her to the driveway and removed his hand and all she saw was a remote and she said �Okay I am going back inside�
�Wait press the button�
She did and out came an all black Mercedes and the top came down and she saw �Gina!�
�You like your car, cool huh.�
�My car� Lilah said still confused.
�Yeah um duh� Gina said laughing.
�My car, My car� she covered her mouth with her hand still very surprised as she said �My car�
Gina came over and they hugged and chattered about the car and him happy with himself went back inside when Lilah ran in and hugged him and kissed his cheek as she said �You are the best Uncle in the world, I love you and I�m going out to test drive my car.�
�Oh on� her mother said standing up and snatching the keys �You won�t, you�re pregnant, your baby is due any day now.�
�But Mom� she said whining. But her mother wasn�t hearing it.
Her parents had gotten her her own place. Well the pool house behind her parent�s house. She was in a better mood upstairs talking to Gina, who was doing her hair. Everyone was downstairs dressed except Lilah in now overalls and light blue sleeveless shirt.
Gina asked �What happened between you and AJ?�
�We were doing so great and then one day he just said he couldn�t handle the relationship anymore and he dumped me.�
�While you were pregnant?�
�No he didn�t know, I was just about to tell him, I bet he would have been so happy.�
�That would suck even worst.�
�Tell me about it�
�I�m done, 2 curls in your face and one long braid down your back.�
�Thank you now put my shoes on�
�What?!�
�I can hardly see my feet�
�You better enjoy this�
Gina put her shoes on as the door opened and Howie poked his head in and said, �Come down for dinner.�
