Good moral compass as usual, but, the boy is the father and should be held to account. Whether or not they marry he is financially liable for the child he was eager to take a chance on making. Pastor Pat and the sheriff should give him a stern talking to with his parents at attention. Please add to the new book for Kathy, Bill Schott's wife. Happy Holidays. Karen

Thank you for the kind review. I have never figured out how to add to the books.

They rarely make things easy to understand here. Go to "For Kathy" scroll to bottom. you will see a button for add chapter, press and follow instructions. Easy Peasy. Or, send it to me and I will do it for you. I learned by poking around. :-) Karen
Comment from Wendy G
I felt that Emma showed a lot of wisdom and maturity in this chapter, and she controlled the situation with the parents very well. They did not react much, perhaps because Emma was busy setting out the possibilities. Perhaps they could have reacted more, or offered some questions or opinions about the viability of Emma's suggestions. Was Lizzie in Emma's youth group?
But the chapter was an excellent one, and brought up a number of ethical questions which remain relevant in today's world. Well written.

I think the parents were in shock and not ready to deal with questions, etc. I think it would come later. Thank you for the kind review.

Don't worry about the length. You demonstrate high quality writing and I appreciate the effort you are putting into this continued story. I like the way Family is important to your stories and Elizabeth (my daughter is Elisabeth!) is not being overly condemned for her actions. I am anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

One of the best chapters of your work that I've read in a long while. Fine control of the emotional dialogue and a well crafted meeting with the family. Absolutely believable.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, Barbara, your chapter made me cry. It's very well written, as usual.
I love how loving and caring Seth is to Emma. I never had that. Partly because my bipolar disease and partly for choosing loosers. My dad was not a good role model.
I got pregnant at 16 years old. The father had no intention to participate in parenting and some familiar members recommended abortion but I didn't want that. As a 17 years old mom, I made some mistakes but I love my daughter dearly and I know I made the right decision.
I am happy Seth and Emma are formerly dating.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Barbara, This is a really great chapter. I hung on every word waiting to see what was going to be said or done next when they went to talk to the parents. You used great dialogue and very good descriptive words. This is a wonderful story. I can't wait for the next chapter. I hope you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas my friend! Teri

I could feel an immediate connection to Lizzy. I was in that spot a long time ago. Things were very different then. Not terrible but life altering. I kept my son and through all of the sacrifice and hard times, every minute was worth it. A very poignant write. Merry Christmas. Gretchen

Comment from BethShelby
When something is really interesting I never notice how long it is. Your stories are like that. Seth is using a lot of restraint not to kiss Emma and if it was me, I think I would want to be kissed. I always in enjoy your stories. Emma had dated before and I can't imagine all guys being as cautions about moving too fast.

Comment from estory
The issue of teen pregnancy is the real heart of this chapter, and you lay out a good case for having the baby and either having he/she adopted or bringing it up yourself, with help from your family. I think it's a great piece for people, especially young people, to read. One thing I believe might make it stronger is for more dialogue from the father here. You have him saying almost nothing. First of all, I find that unbelievable, in this situation, and also I think it would add much more perspective to the scene and this issue. estory

You're probably correct. I didn't want to concentrate on that, but on Emma. You have a valid point, though. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Paul McFarland
This must be the bombshell chapter. Now we must readjust our thinking about what lies ahead. Very good job. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
