actress made you more exciting than being a teacher?” he asked.
    “It did.”
    “No it didn’t. That person was still you.”
    “I guess it was.”
    “What about your family?”
    “My parents have been married for nearly thirty years, house in the suburbs, two kids, conservative.”
    “Nothing wrong with that.”
    “I wanted to be different, just for a while.”
    “What do your folks think about all this? Who do they think is the father?”
    Skye started eating with gusto, ignoring the salad that Shaun pushed discretely towards her.
    “They do know, don’t they?”
    Skye rolled her eyes. “Not exactly.”
    “How could you NOT tell them? Do you speak?”
    “Yes, of course we speak. I didn’t want to disappoint them. It just seemed easier.”
    Shaun’s eyes were wide and disbelieving. “What were you planning to do? Put the baby in a kennel every Christmas like a puppy so they never found out?”
    “I don’t know alright. I know it was stupid not to tell them and I KNOW I have to do that soon. It’s just hard now because I’ve left it so long. I didn’t think it through.”
    He shook his head. “You little girl, need to learn a few things. Like how to NOT use the truth so loosely and how to face up to things and act like a grown up.”
    “I do face up to things. Just because I didn’t tell my parents yet doesn’t make me a child.”
    “I didn’t say you were a child, I said you ACTED like one. There’s a difference.”
    “I do not!”
    “Uh huh. So you didn’t put off telling your folks you were pregnant for a whole six months? You didn’t go to an island and pretend to be a different person? You don’t have a pile of bills in the cabinet that you haven’t even bothered to open? You decided it was easier to keep your child from having a father rather than to own up to the lies you told? Skye whenever anything gets difficult you run. That isn’t what an adult does.”
    “Well what I do is none of your business.”
    “That’s where you’re completely wrong. My child is growing in your body, so that makes it very much my business. As soon as you’ve finished eating I’m going to do something that I think you’ve needed for a long time. I’m going to give you a damn good spanking.”
    “You can’t do that!” He wouldn’t, she thought.
    “Yes I can and I’m going to.”
    “I’m pregnant,” she said smartly. “Anyway I won’t let you.”
    “I’m not asking your permission and I don’t intend to use anything that will hurt the baby. The only damage I’ll leave you with will be a stinging rear end.”
    Skye dumped her knife and fork down noisily on the plate and pouted.
    “Good, if you’re finished,” Shaun said starting to stand.
    Skye snatched back her silverware. “I’m not,” she said. “I haven’t had any salad.” She placed a few leaves and a piece of tomato on her plate and pushed them around with her fork.
    “Start eating or I’ll consider you finished,” Shaun warned.
    She took a nibble of the lettuce and then changed the subject. “You’ll find it hard too you know. Telling your family.”
    “I went to see my Mom to tell her today and then I phoned my brother.”
    “What?! You haven’t! You only found out today.”
    “I have! That’s what honest adult people do. They don’t keep secrets and they don’t lie.”
    “What did you tell them?” She asked ignoring his not very well hidden insult.
    “The truth. That I met someone while I was on vacation and then we lost touch. Met up again today by accident. That she was having my baby.”
    “What did they say?”
    “That they couldn’t wait to meet you.”
    “See you did lie, they aren’t going to meet me.”
    “Think again. On the weekend we’re going to take a two week vacation, together.”
    “No we are not!” she said.
    “Yes we are. If I have to drag you kicking and screaming I will.”
    “Where do you think we’re going?”
    “I don’t think, I KNOW. We’re going to your folks’
