Previously on the Secret Life
Of the Amercian Teenager
Will you marry me?
All we said is that you can be friends,
we didn't say you can date him.
I was just trying to help Grace out,
because I like her.
Did??
He's cheating on her,
he's lefting for someone.
??
I Love you.
Please??
Did u??
-No.
-No.
I've been tied of being
shamed of being myself.
I've been shamed of being
myself my whole life.
so, would you shut up?
I've heard this rumor
that I got a girl pregnent.
Is there any truth in that one?
I love you,Amy,
no matter what happends.
Oh, I didn't see you.
You startled me.
Why didn't you say something?
Why are you sitting all alone
here in the dark?
Amy?
I'm having a baby.
What? I'm sorry,
I just woke up. What?
I'm having a baby.
What?
I'm having a baby.
What do you mean,
you're having a baby?
Is this... is this some kind
of school assignment?
No.
I'm... pregnant?
Amy, you can't be pregnant.
That's impossible.
Yeah... that's what
I thought.
But I am. Doctor told me.
What doctor?
Dr. Hightower.
Dr. Hightower told you
you're having a baby?
Yeah.
When? When did she
tell you that?
Um, I don't know.
Maybe, like, six weeks ago
or something.
You went to see her
six weeks ago,
and she told you
you're having a baby?
I-I don't understand.
Did you go
and see her on your own?
Because you thought
you were...
Y-You can't be pregnant.
How could this
possibly have happened?
I didn't mean for it to happen.
It just kinda happened.
Is this something you and your sister
have come up with?
Is this some kind
of conspiracy
to get my mind
off of your father?
You want me to think
you're pregnant so
whatever's really happening
isn't so bad. Is that it?
Mom, I'm really pregnant.
No, seriously.
Amy, tell me the truth.
OK, look at me
and tell me the truth.
I am telling you the truth.
You can't be having a baby
at 15 years old.
What's going on?
Ashley?
Ashley!
Did you know anything
about this?
Uh... I'm not sure.
Yes, she knows.
-She knows?
-She just kind of found out.
Mom, I didn't mean for it
to happen. I really didn't.
You didn't mean
for what to happen?
You didn't mean to have sex?
You didn't mean
to get pregnant?
You know, it could've been
an alien abduction.
I hear there's a lot of that
happening.
I think I want an abortion.
OK, you can run now. Go.
I didn't do anything.
Just go to your room, Ashley!
All right. She's the one
that's having a baby.
An abortion?
I don't wanna have a baby.
Uh... I don't know, Amy.
I just... I don't know.
L-Let's just
think about this, OK?
Let's think about
all of the options.
Mom, if you don't let me get
an abortion, I wanna leave.
Go somewhere.
Aren't there, like, homes
for teenage mothers?
Find me a home.
But, honey,
this is your home.
I can't stay here
and have a baby.

She's not gonna be in today
and, um, probably not
for the rest of this week.
We have to go to Chicago.
Someone died.
Yeah, it was a family member.
What difference does it make?
Anyway, I'm sure she can catch up with her
assignments when we get back.
Thank you.
Bye.
I'm gonna call my ob/gyn
as soon as the office opens.
Why can't I go to
Dr. Hightower?
Amy, she's a pediatrician,
and I'm really not happy
she didn't call me about this.
And because her partner
is your father's ex-wife's husband,
so that means he probably knows,
and if he knows, then she knows,
and I'm really not happy
that they knew before I did.
Wait. Mom,
you don't think
he'd tell Grace about this, do you?
Yeah, Amy, probably.
I left word for your dad
at his office.
Why?
I don't know who he's with,
so I didn't wanna call his cell.
No, no, no. I meant...
do you have to tell him?
I don't want to, but I think we should
before someone else does.Don't you?
Do we have to?
Yes.
Well, what if I just don't
have the baby?
Not have the baby?
Amy, you can
think about... that.
That's totally your choice, but...
I don't think I can tell you
to do that,
and it's not a religious thing
with me at all.
It's just how I feel about...
...I don't know, life.
Have you told Ben?
Oh, Amy... what happened
to having a plan?
You're supposed to have
a plan for sex.
You're supposed to have a plan
that says you'll wait
until you're older
so you can get an education
and have a career before you
settle down and start a family.
I never thought about it.
I didn't know any guy
would ever wanna do it with me.
Maybe we can
think about adoption.
Or you can go away
until the baby comes.
What if you go to my mom's?
Do you wanna go to Mimsy's?
No, I don't want Mimsy
to know about this.
-Amy...
-What?
You didn't tell Mimsy Dad left.
She doesn't need to know
about that.
She doesn't need to know
about this.
Can I just ask you something?
What?
If I did end up
having the baby,
do you think
I could get married?
Married?
Yeah. Ben said
he would marry me.
Is that how this happened?
Ben said he would marry you
if you got pregnant?
So am I going to school,
or what?
No, not today.
You should've
told me about this.
That's my punishment
for not telling you,
not going to school? Fine.
If you knew your sister
was in trouble,
you should've told me.
Yeah.
I guess I also should've told you
your marriage was in trouble.
Ashley, wait.
Look, I know you blame me
for your dad leaving,
but maybe
it's not my fault.
Or maybe it is.
I'm gonna sit on the steps
and wait for him.
Your dad hasn't
called me back yet.
He will.
Just please wait inside.
Please.
Can't, Mom.
I don't wanna be inside.
I hate this house.
I hate everything about it.
Including me?
Mom, just please, please do not
send Amy off to Mimsy's.
It's bad enough Dad left.
If she leaves,
there's no one here for me,
no one I like, anyway.
Oh, thanks.
You know, your sister's the one
that wants to go away.
-Where else am I gonna send her?
- Nowhere.
Just don't let her go, Mom, please.
Ashley, I don't know if Amy
can stay here and be pregnant
and have a baby.
I don't know how she can handle
everyone else knowing.
But they do know.
The whole world knows.
-Hello?
-Hi, Ames.
Hi, Dad.
Your mom called me, about you.
What's going on? She said
you're sick or something?
Uh, not exactly.
Uh-oh. Woman problems?
Huh... sort of.
So... you don't need
to come home or anything.
I'll be OK.
Yeah? You sure?
Yeah, positive.
So how are you?
Me? Oh, I'm all right.
Miss my girls.
Amy?
Dad.
Aw, Ames. Aw, baby, don't cry,
sweetheart.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to make you cry.
I'll get home as soon as I can,
as soon as your mom lets me.
Dad, I think
I need to tell you something
and please don't be mad at me.
How could I ever be mad at you?
Wait a minute.
Did you break up with the Sausage King's kid?
Is that what this is about?
No.
So that's
still going good, huh?
Yeah, I guess.
So what's the matter
with my girl?
She's pregnant, George.
Amy's pregnant.
I don't think you should make
any more phone calls right now.
You just need time to think.
Just... gimme a little time.
I'll give it back to you
eventually.
-Call her.
-I texted her.
And?
Nothing.
I have a bad feeling
about this.
Me too. Maybe we could
go over there during lunch.
Just show up at her house?
We could tell her mom we were
bringing her her assignments.
I can't.
We could make it legit, actually
take her her assiments.
I know her class schedule.
I-I really can't.
My parents won't let me.
Since when?
Since I told them.
I can't believe you told them.
What if she's not even home?
Maybe...
maybe she went to...
you know, take care of things.
Take care of things?
Shut up, Lauren.
She's not going to do that.
Madison, it's her decision,
not yours and not mine.
Amy has a right to decide
what she wants to do.
If she wants to
terminate the pregnancy,
it's none of our business.
We can have an opinion,
but it's her choice.
Hello, ladies.
Is your friend Amy around?
She missed band practice.
Is she sick or somethin'?
Do you speak?
I think
she stayed home today.
You think or you know?
I think if Amy wanted you
to know where she was, she'd call you.
Maybe I'll ask your brother.
Maybe he would know.
How do you know
I have a brother?
'Cause he's got a big mouth
he should keep shut right now.
We all should keep our mouths
shut now, don't you think?
I tried calling you
last night, all night.
Yeah, I know that.
I had to turn my phone off.
I had to report in to that guy
I was telling you about,
the guy who's like
a parole officer.
He has to make sure
I'm not getting beaten or anything.
After that, I had to meet with him
and my foster parents
so they could confirm
they're not beatin' me.
That was my night.
Yeah, OK, whatever.
Have you heard the rumors
going around school?
I'm not really into gossip.
I did wanna talk to
Amy Juergens about something.
Have you seen her?
Weren't you gonna give her
a ride home yesterday?
I offered her a ride.
Why is that?
I wanted to talk to her.
About?
A couple of things,
including you.
I don't think it would be too smart
if Amy had your baby.Do you?
What baby?
You know what baby.
So did you talk to her?
No, I couldn't find her,
so I'm talkin' to you.
Look, leave her alone and let things take
their natural course, OK?
Meaning?
Meaning Amy Juergens
is not having a baby at 15,
so don't interfere.
It's not like you could.
I'm sure she's already
taken care of it,
which is probably
why she's not here.
Why would I wanna interfere
with something like that?
Oh, I don't know
Maybe because you want to convince
the whole world
you're a Christian now.
So let me see,
you're jealous
of both Amy and Grace?
I'm not jealous of anyone.
We're just friends,
remember?
Yeah, I remember.
Grace heard about Amy.
Does seem to be all over school
this morning.
Please tell me you don't
want her so badly
that you'd pretend to care about
that baby just to impress her.
You have a very low
opinion of me.Don't you?
Yeah, I do.
Hi, Ricky. How are you?
Tough day?
Yeah, it is a tough day,
but it's not true, you know,
about Amy Juergens.
I told you what happened before,
but just believe me,
even though
it was her idea,
I'll??
She's not??
Ricky...
She's a sweet girl.
She's just a little mixed up.
I'm sure she's not having
my baby. I'm positive.
I don't know.
Where did you hear that?
Can't say.
-Adrian?
-Can't.
Ricky, did you read that
bible passage I told you about?
Oh, no,
the bible passage.
We don't have any of those
bible books in the house.
I'll get you one.
No, don't spend your money
on me, babe.
I've got an extra one.
I'll bring it for you.
All right, well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Look, Ricky, I'm trying to be
a friend to you.
You're gonna need a friend,
I think...
because Amy Juergens
really is having a baby.
-I have it on good authority.
-But...
Well, I mean,
maybe she was,
but according to someone else,
she's taken care of it.
What do you mean,
taken care of it?
Wait, you mean
she's having an abortion?
I think
that's a possibility.
Oh, no. Come on.
I will not let anything bad
happen to your baby.
Her phone's not in service.
It was in service an hour ago.
How can it not be in service?
Ashley. Call Ashley.
Yeah, Ashley. I'll call...
What?
Hey, Ashley.
It's me - Madison.
No kidding. That must be why your
name showed up on my phone.
Yeah, right. Um,
I was having a little trouble
getting ahold of Amy?
Mom took her cell.
Well, could we maybe
talk to her on your phone?
Best I can do is try
to give her a message.
What's the message?
I know. How about you're both very sorry
you told everyone in the world
that your best friend
Amy's pregnant?
She knows we told people.
Look, I have to go over there.
If you don't wanna go,
it's your own business.
How are you gonna get there?
There's a really big thing
with a lot of wheels called a bus.
Losers called.
Madison and Lauren?
You still have your cell.
Mom didn't take it from you?
Yeah. She's in the show-
-Give it to me.
-OK.
Um, can I have the number
for Adrian Lee?
No, it's either residential
or a cell phone.
Just please give me the number.
Adrian, hey. Wait up.
I need a ride.
Can you gimme a ride?
No.
I'll pay you.
I need to get
to Amy's house, Amy Juergens.
Pay me?
How's $100?
200?
She wants me to take her
to a clinic. She called me.
Yeah, I know.
She called me, too.
She's gonna need money.
It's a free clinic.
Just the same,
she wants me to be there.
$200.
250, and we'll call it a day.
Come on.
She's a new patient,
but I'm not a new patient.
I've been coming there
for years.
Really?
I was hoping he could
work her in this afternoon.
It's an emergency.
No, not an emergency-room
emergency.
An I-need-to-see-
Dr. Ahn emergency.
She's on the phone.
She can't get you in
to see her doctor
or at least it doesn't
sound like it.
Shut the door.
I'm...
I'm not going to her doctor.
Yeah, OK, but where are you going?
I can't tell you because
then you'd have information
that a lot of others are gonna want, but...
let's just say I'm taking control.
I won't tell anyone.
I think you can trust me at this point.
Ashley, I know I can trust you, I know.
It's just... it's better
for you not to know.
What happened to Dad?
Where is he?
What's going on?
We were just looking for Dad.
He's probably at the high school
looking for Ben Boykewich.
Ben?
Yeah, that would be my guess.
OK, you guys, if there's
anything else I don't know,
I think now's the time to tell me.
Married?
- They're in love.
- They're 15.
I fell in love with my
wife when I was 14.
You didn't get married
when you were 14.
I wish we had.
Our parents made us
wait till we were 18.
All those years, wasted.
You actually think they should
get married and have a baby at 15.???
It's a little unconventional,
but, hey, they're good kids.
???If they were good kids,we wouldn't
be sitting here having this conversation.
We're not talking abt them
drinking or doing drugs,
we're talking about two
kids in love, that's all.
That's n???
It's not the ideal situation,
but it could be worse.
She's my baby.
Well, he's my baby.
It's not what either of us
would've planned for our children.
I'm just saying Ben and I would be very
pleased to share our good fortune with Amy,
if you'd be kind enough to allow her to
make an honest young man outta him.
Ben and me, we're in
that big house all alone.
We'll take very good care
of your Amy. I promise you that.
Suppose this little teage
marriage doesn't work out.
Suppose it does.
You can't be serious.
Two 15-year-olds getting
married and having a baby.
I don't want my daughter married at 15.
Why would you want your son married at 15?
Misses his mother.
You can't give him my daughter.
He loves her.
So do I.
Your wife is calling.
She says it's an emergency.
Emergency!
Yeah, hi. I turned my cell phone off.
I'm here talking to Leo Boykewich.
I think it does concern him.
What are you talking about? Who?
It's not... it's not even
your son's baby.
Could be.
Go. She's talking to Dad.
- I love you, Ashley.
- Just go.
Amy, Leo Boykewich went -
W-Where's Amy?
- She's in the bathroom.
- Oh.
So, who went to see Dad?
Ben's father.
Really? That was nice.
So, are you gonna let them get married?
Ashley, she's 15 years old.
Besides, it's not Ben's responsibility.
Well, would you rather
she marry Ricky? He's 16.
No, I don't want her to marry
either one of them.
I don't want her to get married, period.
I think it's gonna complicate
her life even more.
Are you sure she's in the bathroom?
- She was.
- Amy!
I'm here, Mom.
Hi.
Hurry up.
So are we going or not?
Ben, I really don't think
you should be here.
I thought you told him to come
with us. That's what he said.
I can't let you do this.
My dad is talking to your dad.
He's trying to talk him into
letting us get married.
Married?
Yes, married.
I love her.
I wanna marry her,
and I also want some privacy.
Ben, I told my mother it's Ricky's baby.
What'd you do that for?
Can you stay out of this, please?
What'd you do that for?
It's the truth.
She said she'd help me
if I told her the truth.
Ben, it's really nice of you
to wanna marry me,
but this is not your problem.
This is my problem.
Yeah, well, now it's also
Ricky's problem.
He's not going to marry you.
You know that, right?
Ricky will never marry you.
Yes, Adrian, I know that.
But I will. I'll marry you.
I love you.
I don't care about anything else
but you and that baby.
And maybe the cymbals.
I don't want to have a baby, Ben.
Of course you don't.
But you're going to have a baby,
and that's OK with me.
No, I can't. I just, I can't.
Yes, you can.
It's gonna be OK.
You thought the worst part
was telling your parents,
but now that you've told them,
everything gets better from here.
They love you.
Yeah, I guess.
My mom is talking about
sending me off to some home
where there are other girls
in the same situation?
Ben, she's talking about adoption.
Then that settles it.
Don't have the baby.
You don't want some
weird couple raising a baby
that's gonna track you down
when your life is finally getting better.
Adrian, I'd be more than happy
to double your car fare
if you'll just shut up, OK?
Some things are more important
than money, even to me.
He's not gonna marry you,
either. You know that, right?
Ricky is never going to marry you.
OK, can you guys just
drive me to the clinic?
You two can argue while you wait for me.
I just feel that if your decision
is not to have the baby,
you really should talk to your parents
or at least to your mother.
This is a big decision
to make all by yourself.
But it is her decision.
She's right. This is up to me.
I've decided. Drive.
No wonder she's in trouble.
You can't keep an eye on
her in the middle of this.
Shut up, George. It's not my fault.
- Sure that is. You're her mother.
- And you're her father.
You're the one who was supposed
to talk to her about sex.
She was never interested
in talking about it.
She was more focused on
her friends and her music.
And having sex.
- It was just one time.
- That's what they all say.
All say? Who says that?
Every girl who's afraid to tell
her parents she's having a baby.
I believe her.
You believed me when I said
I was said it was workin' late.
You're criticizing me
for trusting you?
No. I'm criticizing you for trusting her.
I think it's ridiculous we're
not out there looking for her.
Where are we gonna look?
I know she'll come home.
What, after she has an abortion?
She wanted to be with Ben.
She's with Ben.
Good.
I'm not so sure she shouldn't marry Ben.
Don't be ridiculous.
Being ridiculous.
It might make sense.
- Hi, Mr. Juergens.
- Hi, Madison.
Is Amy home? I brought
her things from school.
I brought her notes,
her assignments from class.
You know, notes.
They're really good notes.
OK. I'll give 'em to her.
Could I give 'em to her?
Um, is she home?
Uh, yeah, but she's a little under the weather,
and it's something that might be
contagious, so you shouldn't stick around.
Oh, OK.
Hi, Mrs. Juergens.
- If you could tell her I was trying to call her.
- OK.
But... Bye, Amy!
OK, bye. Bye.
Maybe if you didn't let her
heng out with those two,
none of this would've happened.
Madison and Lauren?
They're very nice girls,
and so is Amy.
Yeah, just not as nice as we thought.
And who's this Richie
character, anyway?
Ricky. He's in the band.
You've seen him.
He's that drummer
that's always showing off.
Hey...
- Maybe it's time I come home.
- No, I don't think so.
Come on, you need me.
We need each other.
You said it yourself,
you don't do well in a crisis.
Lean on me, all right?
We'll get through this together.
We'll figure it out.
You can't handle something like this.
You can't handle little Amy going through
something like this, not without me.
How's Amy gonna face people?
How are you gonna face people?
I don't know, George.
How do you face people?
I'm not gonna cause you any problems...
No, you're certainly not.
Is there a girl named Amy Juergens here?
Who's here a who's not
ot none of your business.
But if you need help
with family planning,
I'd be happy to set you up
with one of our counselors.
Jesus is my counselor.
What a coincidence.
He's mine, too.
I don't think so.
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- Where's Amy?
- Amy? Who's Amy?
Ben and I are here to...
get free condoms.
Let's just step outside.
I know she's here.
This isn't a teen center. We're
not gonna have any ruckus here.
You and your friends
need to step outside.
Security.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
I'm not gonna let you
do this, Amy!
- Now all of you.
- Amy!
- Outside, Miss.
- I'm not doing anything.
Just a minute. You two drove her
here. You're accessories to a crime.
Didn't I tell you
to stay out of this?
Are you that desperate
to sleep with her?
You really think
she'd be any fun at all?
Is that all you ever think about sex?
Tell her the truth,you cower.
You don't care about Amy or that baby.
You don't care if Amy has an abortion.
Yes, he does and so do I.
And so does God.
Oh, honey, they do not take
a vote on these things.
Don't call me honey.
Why not? Honey.
- I'm not with these guys, I swear.
- Yo, Ben.
Someone wants to talk to you.
All right, let's move it
outside. Come on.
Amy, are you OK? Hey.
Ben, I'm so sorry
I yelled at you.
Oh, it's OK. You can yell
at me my whole life.
He took advantage of her just like
he's trying to take advantage of you.
She seduced him.
Oh, come on. Is that
what he told you?
All right, you two.
I'm standing right here.
Forget about me. There's a very
hurt and confused girl in there.
And who hurt and confused her?
Why do you have to blame
everything on Ricky?
Amy is just as responsible
for what happened.
She wanted to have sex.
Oh, and that is so wrong,
isn't it, Grace?
Outside of marriage,
yeah, it is wrong.
It's normal. It's normal
to want to have sex.
It's even normal
to actually do it.
- It's a sin.
- Oh, yeah.
And all us normal teenagers
are going straight to hell.
Is that what you think?
You know what?
Jack really liked it.
You know that?
And he would never be happy
with you after being with me.
I wouldn't wanna be with Jack
after he's been with you.
You want to be with Ricky,
and he's been with me, too.
That's probably one of the reasons
why Ricky wants to be born again.
Oh, is that right, Ricky?
Again, I should not be
the focus of concern here.
Maybe we should all
pray together, for Amy.
Thank you for everything, Ben.
I really just need my mom, though.
Can I borrow your phone
so I can talk to my mom?
Sure.
He's slime. He's total slime.
You know he's got a girlfriend?
I mean, I guess you could call
her that, but she's a real slut.
Don't say slut.
I don't like that.
But, Dad, she is. She does it
with all the guys, not just Ricky.
How do you know that? You're
a 12-year-old in middle school.
I'm 13. I'm not a child.
Amy's the only one that
treats me like an adult.
How did Amy get
mixed up with this guy?
He's in the band.
They went to band camp.
I knew that French horn
would come to no good.
That's too big an instrument for a girl.
You think this was all caused
by a French horn?
Don't get smart. I'm trying
to have a conversation here.
So is your mom seeing someone?
What, like a shrink?
No, not like a shrink.
Like a guy. Is she dating?
I'm just asking, that's all.
No, I don't think
she's seeing anyone.
So who's this slut?
What?
The drummer's girlfriend.
Adrian. She's a majorette.
Adrian?
Lee.
You know what?
I probably shouldn't be here when
your mother gets home with Amy.
I'm gonna give them
some time together.
Three of you girls...
should have some time together.
Come on, could I get
a little sympathy here?
This girl I don't even know and care
nothing about is gonna ruin my life.
Your life?
What about her life?
Her life is her business,
and if she wanted to ruin her life,
she should've chosen
someone else to do it with.
You think Amy wanted this to happen?
Adrian, of course
she wanted it to happen.
She wants out of her life,
and she doesn't care how she gets
out of her life as long as she gets out.
She's... unloved.
She wants to be loved,
by me, by the baby,
that stupid Ben guy.
Anyone. Everyone.
She's got problems.
I just got caught
in her problems.
Like I don't have enough
problems of my own.
Are you gonna marry her?
Marry her? Is that what
you're worried about?
Is that why you drove
her to that clinic?
That's why you wanted her
to get an abortion.
Don't be so dramatic. I drove there
'cause she asked me to drive her there.
You told me she'd already
taken care of this.
I said I thought she had.
I knew you'd go running around with Grace
Bowman on a Save the Baby campaign.
Like you care about an unborn child.
Jeez, you don't care about
anything but yourself.
You're such a liar,
you know that?
Grace thinks I'm a nice guy, and you know
what, and around her, I am a nice guy.
And you know what who are
you lying to now, me or you?
Nice guy? Huh. No.
You're not a nice guy,
and I'm not a nice girl.
That's why you belong with me,
not Grace and certainly not Amy,
even if she is
having your baby.
Think I don't know that?
Hey. Why do you care if Ricky's
gonna have a baby, anyway?
- You're just friends, right?
- What do you want, Jack?
You. I want you.
I miss you.
Good. I hope you miss me
for the rest of your life.
Come on, Gracie. Reverend Stone said
he'd talk to your father about us.
If you just give us
another chance...
Don't take it personally.
I don't like cheaters.
I don't. It's not about me,
it's about Adrian.
Grace, I regret what I did,
and I apologize.
I take full responsibility
for my actions,
and that's more than Ricky's
ever gonna do for Amy Juergens.
You don't know that.
You're right, I don't. Maybe being friends
with you has made him a better person.
You mean that?
If anyone can change someone
for the better, it's you.
You think that?
I know I'm a better person
'cause of you.
Let me know if you
change your mind, OK?
You have to say somethin
It's your job.
This is a little outside
my area of expertise.
However...
Yes, however...
You do know that a marriage
between 15-year-olds
probably doesn't have
a chance in hell of surviving,
especially when you add in the
complication of raising a child.
That's a textbook response.
I'm looking for something human.
I mean...This is me and my beloved
Amy we're talking about.
I know that, Ben.
But even if you and
Amy were 30 years old,
it'd still be a difficult situation.
So what you're saying
is the odds are better at 30?
I'll marry her again
when I'm 30.
I can't imagine her parents
would let her get married now.
As in get married to me?
You don't think they'll let her
get married to me,
or to that...
fertile predator?
To anyone, Ben.
Why?
They might consider it to be
making a second mistake.
It's no mistake. I love her.
Yeah, well, sometimes
that's just not enough.
Huh. What are you
talking about?
Yes, it is. It's enough.
It's... everything.
Oh. Oh, I get it.
Get what?
You know, I always
knew it. I sensed it.
Who broke your heart,
counselor?
No one broke my heart.
I told you before, I can't discuss
personal matters with students.
Can you get a pizza with a student
and his father? Leo Boykewich.
Marc Molina.
- I figured I'd find you here.
- How'd it go with Amy's dad?
- You went to see Amy's dad?
- Yeah.
Ehh, he'll come around.
How'd it go with Amy?
Ehh, she'll come around.
Ehh... and if they don't come around?
If the man doesn't want his 15-year-old
daughter to marry a 15-year-old boy
who's not the father of her baby?
And if she doesn't wanna get married
at 15 just because she's having a baby?
Who broke his heart?
I don't know. He can't discuss
personal matters with me.
Come on, we'll get some pizza.
He'll shut his ears.
15-year-olds getting married.
I'm doing my job.
I'm sorry.
I know you're sorry, Amy.
And I'm sorry that this
happened to you, but it did.
You can stop apologizing, OK?
Things are what they are, and we're
just gonna have to figure them out.
Please just let me marry Ben.
Amy, it's not that you're too young.
We're young, but, Mom, he loves me.
And I love him.
I know, and I believe it. I do.
But you're in a difficult situation,and I don't
think you should let Ben rescue you.
OK, If you're still in love in
a few years, that's wonderful.
Get married when you're out of college
or when you've worked a few years.
But right now, let's see if you can take
responsibility and handle this on your own.
OK, I'll help you through this.
But if he's willing
to help...
There are consequences to
being rescued, believe me.
What consequences?
It's too soon to know yet,
but there are consequences.
I don't get why you think that.
I just don't think it, I know it.
I've lived it.
Your father rescued me, and I've
been trying to repay him ever since.
How did Dad rescue you?
Amy...
I was pregnant.
I have a brother or sister somewhere?
No.
Wait.
Me?
You got married to Dad 'cause
you were pregnant with me?
We eloped six months
before you were born.
We tell everyone else
it was 18 months, but...
we lied.
So we've actually only been
married for 15 years, not 16.
So... when you found out
you were pregnant,
you told your mother
you were already married?
Yeah.
Do you think you made
the right decision to marry Dad?
I would hate it if you
made a mistake because of me.
No, I think I made the right decision.
I'm happy I married your father.
I'm happy that we had you.
I'm even happy we have Ashley.
Do you think I made
the right decision?
Yeah, I think you made
the right decision for you.
Mom, why wouldn't you
tell me about this?
It was my little secret.
Mine and your father's.
Some things are really hard
to talk about.
Yeah.
So, I guess we both
can work on that, huh?
Yeah.
I love you, Amy.
I love you, too.
So what are you most afraid of?
That it'll hurt.
Oh, it will.
Don't worry. I'll be rigth there with you.
What else?
I don't want Ashley to have
problems because of me.
I don't want anyone
to say anything to her.
I just don't want her to think
that this is romantic at all
just because of Ben.
Of the Amercian Teenager
Will you marry me?
All we said is that you can be friends,
we didn't say you can date him.
I was just trying to help Grace out,
because I like her.
Did??
He's cheating on her,
he's lefting for someone.
??
I Love you.
Please??
Did u??
-No.
-No.
I've been tied of being
shamed of being myself.
I've been shamed of being
myself my whole life.
so, would you shut up?
I've heard this rumor
that I got a girl pregnent.
Is there any truth in that one?
I love you,Amy,
no matter what happends.
Oh, I didn't see you.
You startled me.
Why didn't you say something?
Why are you sitting all alone
here in the dark?
Amy?
I'm having a baby.
What? I'm sorry,
I just woke up. What?
I'm having a baby.
What?
I'm having a baby.
What do you mean,
you're having a baby?
Is this... is this some kind
of school assignment?
No.
I'm... pregnant?
Amy, you can't be pregnant.
That's impossible.
Yeah... that's what
I thought.
But I am. Doctor told me.
What doctor?
Dr. Hightower.
Dr. Hightower told you
you're having a baby?
Yeah.
When? When did she
tell you that?
Um, I don't know.
Maybe, like, six weeks ago
or something.
You went to see her
six weeks ago,
and she told you
you're having a baby?
I-I don't understand.
Did you go
and see her on your own?
Because you thought
you were...
Y-You can't be pregnant.
How could this
possibly have happened?
I didn't mean for it to happen.
It just kinda happened.
Is this something you and your sister
have come up with?
Is this some kind
of conspiracy
to get my mind
off of your father?
You want me to think
you're pregnant so
whatever's really happening
isn't so bad. Is that it?
Mom, I'm really pregnant.
No, seriously.
Amy, tell me the truth.
OK, look at me
and tell me the truth.
I am telling you the truth.
You can't be having a baby
at 15 years old.
What's going on?
Ashley?
Ashley!
Did you know anything
about this?
Uh... I'm not sure.
Yes, she knows.
-She knows?
-She just kind of found out.
Mom, I didn't mean for it
to happen. I really didn't.
You didn't mean
for what to happen?
You didn't mean to have sex?
You didn't mean
to get pregnant?
You know, it could've been
an alien abduction.
I hear there's a lot of that
happening.
I think I want an abortion.
OK, you can run now. Go.
I didn't do anything.
Just go to your room, Ashley!
All right. She's the one
that's having a baby.
An abortion?
I don't wanna have a baby.
Uh... I don't know, Amy.
I just... I don't know.
L-Let's just
think about this, OK?
Let's think about
all of the options.
Mom, if you don't let me get
an abortion, I wanna leave.
Go somewhere.
Aren't there, like, homes
for teenage mothers?
Find me a home.
But, honey,
this is your home.
I can't stay here
and have a baby.
Sync:VinE greenBB
S01E06
She's not gonna be in today
and, um, probably not
for the rest of this week.
We have to go to Chicago.
Someone died.
Yeah, it was a family member.
What difference does it make?
Anyway, I'm sure she can catch up with her
assignments when we get back.
Thank you.
Bye.
I'm gonna call my ob/gyn
as soon as the office opens.
Why can't I go to
Dr. Hightower?
Amy, she's a pediatrician,
and I'm really not happy
she didn't call me about this.
And because her partner
is your father's ex-wife's husband,
so that means he probably knows,
and if he knows, then she knows,
and I'm really not happy
that they knew before I did.
Wait. Mom,
you don't think
he'd tell Grace about this, do you?
Yeah, Amy, probably.
I left word for your dad
at his office.
Why?
I don't know who he's with,
so I didn't wanna call his cell.
No, no, no. I meant...
do you have to tell him?
I don't want to, but I think we should
before someone else does.Don't you?
Do we have to?
Yes.
Well, what if I just don't
have the baby?
Not have the baby?
Amy, you can
think about... that.
That's totally your choice, but...
I don't think I can tell you
to do that,
and it's not a religious thing
with me at all.
It's just how I feel about...
...I don't know, life.
Have you told Ben?
Oh, Amy... what happened
to having a plan?
You're supposed to have
a plan for sex.
You're supposed to have a plan
that says you'll wait
until you're older
so you can get an education
and have a career before you
settle down and start a family.
I never thought about it.
I didn't know any guy
would ever wanna do it with me.
Maybe we can
think about adoption.
Or you can go away
until the baby comes.
What if you go to my mom's?
Do you wanna go to Mimsy's?
No, I don't want Mimsy
to know about this.
-Amy...
-What?
You didn't tell Mimsy Dad left.
She doesn't need to know
about that.
She doesn't need to know
about this.
Can I just ask you something?
What?
If I did end up
having the baby,
do you think
I could get married?
Married?
Yeah. Ben said
he would marry me.
Is that how this happened?
Ben said he would marry you
if you got pregnant?
So am I going to school,
or what?
No, not today.
You should've
told me about this.
That's my punishment
for not telling you,
not going to school? Fine.
If you knew your sister
was in trouble,
you should've told me.
Yeah.
I guess I also should've told you
your marriage was in trouble.
Ashley, wait.
Look, I know you blame me
for your dad leaving,
but maybe
it's not my fault.
Or maybe it is.
I'm gonna sit on the steps
and wait for him.
Your dad hasn't
called me back yet.
He will.
Just please wait inside.
Please.
Can't, Mom.
I don't wanna be inside.
I hate this house.
I hate everything about it.
Including me?
Mom, just please, please do not
send Amy off to Mimsy's.
It's bad enough Dad left.
If she leaves,
there's no one here for me,
no one I like, anyway.
Oh, thanks.
You know, your sister's the one
that wants to go away.
-Where else am I gonna send her?
- Nowhere.
Just don't let her go, Mom, please.
Ashley, I don't know if Amy
can stay here and be pregnant
and have a baby.
I don't know how she can handle
everyone else knowing.
But they do know.
The whole world knows.
-Hello?
-Hi, Ames.
Hi, Dad.
Your mom called me, about you.
What's going on? She said
you're sick or something?
Uh, not exactly.
Uh-oh. Woman problems?
Huh... sort of.
So... you don't need
to come home or anything.
I'll be OK.
Yeah? You sure?
Yeah, positive.
So how are you?
Me? Oh, I'm all right.
Miss my girls.
Amy?
Dad.
Aw, Ames. Aw, baby, don't cry,
sweetheart.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to make you cry.
I'll get home as soon as I can,
as soon as your mom lets me.
Dad, I think
I need to tell you something
and please don't be mad at me.
How could I ever be mad at you?
Wait a minute.
Did you break up with the Sausage King's kid?
Is that what this is about?
No.
So that's
still going good, huh?
Yeah, I guess.
So what's the matter
with my girl?
She's pregnant, George.
Amy's pregnant.
I don't think you should make
any more phone calls right now.
You just need time to think.
Just... gimme a little time.
I'll give it back to you
eventually.
-Call her.
-I texted her.
And?
Nothing.
I have a bad feeling
about this.
Me too. Maybe we could
go over there during lunch.
Just show up at her house?
We could tell her mom we were
bringing her her assignments.
I can't.
We could make it legit, actually
take her her assiments.
I know her class schedule.
I-I really can't.
My parents won't let me.
Since when?
Since I told them.
I can't believe you told them.
What if she's not even home?
Maybe...
maybe she went to...
you know, take care of things.
Take care of things?
Shut up, Lauren.
She's not going to do that.
Madison, it's her decision,
not yours and not mine.
Amy has a right to decide
what she wants to do.
If she wants to
terminate the pregnancy,
it's none of our business.
We can have an opinion,
but it's her choice.
Hello, ladies.
Is your friend Amy around?
She missed band practice.
Is she sick or somethin'?
Do you speak?
I think
she stayed home today.
You think or you know?
I think if Amy wanted you
to know where she was, she'd call you.
Maybe I'll ask your brother.
Maybe he would know.
How do you know
I have a brother?
'Cause he's got a big mouth
he should keep shut right now.
We all should keep our mouths
shut now, don't you think?
I tried calling you
last night, all night.
Yeah, I know that.
I had to turn my phone off.
I had to report in to that guy
I was telling you about,
the guy who's like
a parole officer.
He has to make sure
I'm not getting beaten or anything.
After that, I had to meet with him
and my foster parents
so they could confirm
they're not beatin' me.
That was my night.
Yeah, OK, whatever.
Have you heard the rumors
going around school?
I'm not really into gossip.
I did wanna talk to
Amy Juergens about something.
Have you seen her?
Weren't you gonna give her
a ride home yesterday?
I offered her a ride.
Why is that?
I wanted to talk to her.
About?
A couple of things,
including you.
I don't think it would be too smart
if Amy had your baby.Do you?
What baby?
You know what baby.
So did you talk to her?
No, I couldn't find her,
so I'm talkin' to you.
Look, leave her alone and let things take
their natural course, OK?
Meaning?
Meaning Amy Juergens
is not having a baby at 15,
so don't interfere.
It's not like you could.
I'm sure she's already
taken care of it,
which is probably
why she's not here.
Why would I wanna interfere
with something like that?
Oh, I don't know
Maybe because you want to convince
the whole world
you're a Christian now.
So let me see,
you're jealous
of both Amy and Grace?
I'm not jealous of anyone.
We're just friends,
remember?
Yeah, I remember.
Grace heard about Amy.
Does seem to be all over school
this morning.
Please tell me you don't
want her so badly
that you'd pretend to care about
that baby just to impress her.
You have a very low
opinion of me.Don't you?
Yeah, I do.
Hi, Ricky. How are you?
Tough day?
Yeah, it is a tough day,
but it's not true, you know,
about Amy Juergens.
I told you what happened before,
but just believe me,
even though
it was her idea,
I'll??
She's not??
Ricky...
She's a sweet girl.
She's just a little mixed up.
I'm sure she's not having
my baby. I'm positive.
I don't know.
Where did you hear that?
Can't say.
-Adrian?
-Can't.
Ricky, did you read that
bible passage I told you about?
Oh, no,
the bible passage.
We don't have any of those
bible books in the house.
I'll get you one.
No, don't spend your money
on me, babe.
I've got an extra one.
I'll bring it for you.
All right, well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Look, Ricky, I'm trying to be
a friend to you.
You're gonna need a friend,
I think...
because Amy Juergens
really is having a baby.
-I have it on good authority.
-But...
Well, I mean,
maybe she was,
but according to someone else,
she's taken care of it.
What do you mean,
taken care of it?
Wait, you mean
she's having an abortion?
I think
that's a possibility.
Oh, no. Come on.
I will not let anything bad
happen to your baby.
Her phone's not in service.
It was in service an hour ago.
How can it not be in service?
Ashley. Call Ashley.
Yeah, Ashley. I'll call...
What?
Hey, Ashley.
It's me - Madison.
No kidding. That must be why your
name showed up on my phone.
Yeah, right. Um,
I was having a little trouble
getting ahold of Amy?
Mom took her cell.
Well, could we maybe
talk to her on your phone?
Best I can do is try
to give her a message.
What's the message?
I know. How about you're both very sorry
you told everyone in the world
that your best friend
Amy's pregnant?
She knows we told people.
Look, I have to go over there.
If you don't wanna go,
it's your own business.
How are you gonna get there?
There's a really big thing
with a lot of wheels called a bus.
Losers called.
Madison and Lauren?
You still have your cell.
Mom didn't take it from you?
Yeah. She's in the show-
-Give it to me.
-OK.
Um, can I have the number
for Adrian Lee?
No, it's either residential
or a cell phone.
Just please give me the number.
Adrian, hey. Wait up.
I need a ride.
Can you gimme a ride?
No.
I'll pay you.
I need to get
to Amy's house, Amy Juergens.
Pay me?
How's $100?
200?
She wants me to take her
to a clinic. She called me.
Yeah, I know.
She called me, too.
She's gonna need money.
It's a free clinic.
Just the same,
she wants me to be there.
$200.
250, and we'll call it a day.
Come on.
She's a new patient,
but I'm not a new patient.
I've been coming there
for years.
Really?
I was hoping he could
work her in this afternoon.
It's an emergency.
No, not an emergency-room
emergency.
An I-need-to-see-
Dr. Ahn emergency.
She's on the phone.
She can't get you in
to see her doctor
or at least it doesn't
sound like it.
Shut the door.
I'm...
I'm not going to her doctor.
Yeah, OK, but where are you going?
I can't tell you because
then you'd have information
that a lot of others are gonna want, but...
let's just say I'm taking control.
I won't tell anyone.
I think you can trust me at this point.
Ashley, I know I can trust you, I know.
It's just... it's better
for you not to know.
What happened to Dad?
Where is he?
What's going on?
We were just looking for Dad.
He's probably at the high school
looking for Ben Boykewich.
Ben?
Yeah, that would be my guess.
OK, you guys, if there's
anything else I don't know,
I think now's the time to tell me.
Married?
- They're in love.
- They're 15.
I fell in love with my
wife when I was 14.
You didn't get married
when you were 14.
I wish we had.
Our parents made us
wait till we were 18.
All those years, wasted.
You actually think they should
get married and have a baby at 15.???
It's a little unconventional,
but, hey, they're good kids.
???If they were good kids,we wouldn't
be sitting here having this conversation.
We're not talking abt them
drinking or doing drugs,
we're talking about two
kids in love, that's all.
That's n???
It's not the ideal situation,
but it could be worse.
She's my baby.
Well, he's my baby.
It's not what either of us
would've planned for our children.
I'm just saying Ben and I would be very
pleased to share our good fortune with Amy,
if you'd be kind enough to allow her to
make an honest young man outta him.
Ben and me, we're in
that big house all alone.
We'll take very good care
of your Amy. I promise you that.
Suppose this little teage
marriage doesn't work out.
Suppose it does.
You can't be serious.
Two 15-year-olds getting
married and having a baby.
I don't want my daughter married at 15.
Why would you want your son married at 15?
Misses his mother.
You can't give him my daughter.
He loves her.
So do I.
Your wife is calling.
She says it's an emergency.
Emergency!
Yeah, hi. I turned my cell phone off.
I'm here talking to Leo Boykewich.
I think it does concern him.
What are you talking about? Who?
It's not... it's not even
your son's baby.
Could be.
Go. She's talking to Dad.
- I love you, Ashley.
- Just go.
Amy, Leo Boykewich went -
W-Where's Amy?
- She's in the bathroom.
- Oh.
So, who went to see Dad?
Ben's father.
Really? That was nice.
So, are you gonna let them get married?
Ashley, she's 15 years old.
Besides, it's not Ben's responsibility.
Well, would you rather
she marry Ricky? He's 16.
No, I don't want her to marry
either one of them.
I don't want her to get married, period.
I think it's gonna complicate
her life even more.
Are you sure she's in the bathroom?
- She was.
- Amy!
I'm here, Mom.
Hi.
Hurry up.
So are we going or not?
Ben, I really don't think
you should be here.
I thought you told him to come
with us. That's what he said.
I can't let you do this.
My dad is talking to your dad.
He's trying to talk him into
letting us get married.
Married?
Yes, married.
I love her.
I wanna marry her,
and I also want some privacy.
Ben, I told my mother it's Ricky's baby.
What'd you do that for?
Can you stay out of this, please?
What'd you do that for?
It's the truth.
She said she'd help me
if I told her the truth.
Ben, it's really nice of you
to wanna marry me,
but this is not your problem.
This is my problem.
Yeah, well, now it's also
Ricky's problem.
He's not going to marry you.
You know that, right?
Ricky will never marry you.
Yes, Adrian, I know that.
But I will. I'll marry you.
I love you.
I don't care about anything else
but you and that baby.
And maybe the cymbals.
I don't want to have a baby, Ben.
Of course you don't.
But you're going to have a baby,
and that's OK with me.
No, I can't. I just, I can't.
Yes, you can.
It's gonna be OK.
You thought the worst part
was telling your parents,
but now that you've told them,
everything gets better from here.
They love you.
Yeah, I guess.
My mom is talking about
sending me off to some home
where there are other girls
in the same situation?
Ben, she's talking about adoption.
Then that settles it.
Don't have the baby.
You don't want some
weird couple raising a baby
that's gonna track you down
when your life is finally getting better.
Adrian, I'd be more than happy
to double your car fare
if you'll just shut up, OK?
Some things are more important
than money, even to me.
He's not gonna marry you,
either. You know that, right?
Ricky is never going to marry you.
OK, can you guys just
drive me to the clinic?
You two can argue while you wait for me.
I just feel that if your decision
is not to have the baby,
you really should talk to your parents
or at least to your mother.
This is a big decision
to make all by yourself.
But it is her decision.
She's right. This is up to me.
I've decided. Drive.
No wonder she's in trouble.
You can't keep an eye on
her in the middle of this.
Shut up, George. It's not my fault.
- Sure that is. You're her mother.
- And you're her father.
You're the one who was supposed
to talk to her about sex.
She was never interested
in talking about it.
She was more focused on
her friends and her music.
And having sex.
- It was just one time.
- That's what they all say.
All say? Who says that?
Every girl who's afraid to tell
her parents she's having a baby.
I believe her.
You believed me when I said
I was said it was workin' late.
You're criticizing me
for trusting you?
No. I'm criticizing you for trusting her.
I think it's ridiculous we're
not out there looking for her.
Where are we gonna look?
I know she'll come home.
What, after she has an abortion?
She wanted to be with Ben.
She's with Ben.
Good.
I'm not so sure she shouldn't marry Ben.
Don't be ridiculous.
Being ridiculous.
It might make sense.
- Hi, Mr. Juergens.
- Hi, Madison.
Is Amy home? I brought
her things from school.
I brought her notes,
her assignments from class.
You know, notes.
They're really good notes.
OK. I'll give 'em to her.
Could I give 'em to her?
Um, is she home?
Uh, yeah, but she's a little under the weather,
and it's something that might be
contagious, so you shouldn't stick around.
Oh, OK.
Hi, Mrs. Juergens.
- If you could tell her I was trying to call her.
- OK.
But... Bye, Amy!
OK, bye. Bye.
Maybe if you didn't let her
heng out with those two,
none of this would've happened.
Madison and Lauren?
They're very nice girls,
and so is Amy.
Yeah, just not as nice as we thought.
And who's this Richie
character, anyway?
Ricky. He's in the band.
You've seen him.
He's that drummer
that's always showing off.
Hey...
- Maybe it's time I come home.
- No, I don't think so.
Come on, you need me.
We need each other.
You said it yourself,
you don't do well in a crisis.
Lean on me, all right?
We'll get through this together.
We'll figure it out.
You can't handle something like this.
You can't handle little Amy going through
something like this, not without me.
How's Amy gonna face people?
How are you gonna face people?
I don't know, George.
How do you face people?
I'm not gonna cause you any problems...
No, you're certainly not.
Is there a girl named Amy Juergens here?
Who's here a who's not
ot none of your business.
But if you need help
with family planning,
I'd be happy to set you up
with one of our counselors.
Jesus is my counselor.
What a coincidence.
He's mine, too.
I don't think so.
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- Where's Amy?
- Amy? Who's Amy?
Ben and I are here to...
get free condoms.
Let's just step outside.
I know she's here.
This isn't a teen center. We're
not gonna have any ruckus here.
You and your friends
need to step outside.
Security.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
I'm not gonna let you
do this, Amy!
- Now all of you.
- Amy!
- Outside, Miss.
- I'm not doing anything.
Just a minute. You two drove her
here. You're accessories to a crime.
Didn't I tell you
to stay out of this?
Are you that desperate
to sleep with her?
You really think
she'd be any fun at all?
Is that all you ever think about sex?
Tell her the truth,you cower.
You don't care about Amy or that baby.
You don't care if Amy has an abortion.
Yes, he does and so do I.
And so does God.
Oh, honey, they do not take
a vote on these things.
Don't call me honey.
Why not? Honey.
- I'm not with these guys, I swear.
- Yo, Ben.
Someone wants to talk to you.
All right, let's move it
outside. Come on.
Amy, are you OK? Hey.
Ben, I'm so sorry
I yelled at you.
Oh, it's OK. You can yell
at me my whole life.
He took advantage of her just like
he's trying to take advantage of you.
She seduced him.
Oh, come on. Is that
what he told you?
All right, you two.
I'm standing right here.
Forget about me. There's a very
hurt and confused girl in there.
And who hurt and confused her?
Why do you have to blame
everything on Ricky?
Amy is just as responsible
for what happened.
She wanted to have sex.
Oh, and that is so wrong,
isn't it, Grace?
Outside of marriage,
yeah, it is wrong.
It's normal. It's normal
to want to have sex.
It's even normal
to actually do it.
- It's a sin.
- Oh, yeah.
And all us normal teenagers
are going straight to hell.
Is that what you think?
You know what?
Jack really liked it.
You know that?
And he would never be happy
with you after being with me.
I wouldn't wanna be with Jack
after he's been with you.
You want to be with Ricky,
and he's been with me, too.
That's probably one of the reasons
why Ricky wants to be born again.
Oh, is that right, Ricky?
Again, I should not be
the focus of concern here.
Maybe we should all
pray together, for Amy.
Thank you for everything, Ben.
I really just need my mom, though.
Can I borrow your phone
so I can talk to my mom?
Sure.
He's slime. He's total slime.
You know he's got a girlfriend?
I mean, I guess you could call
her that, but she's a real slut.
Don't say slut.
I don't like that.
But, Dad, she is. She does it
with all the guys, not just Ricky.
How do you know that? You're
a 12-year-old in middle school.
I'm 13. I'm not a child.
Amy's the only one that
treats me like an adult.
How did Amy get
mixed up with this guy?
He's in the band.
They went to band camp.
I knew that French horn
would come to no good.
That's too big an instrument for a girl.
You think this was all caused
by a French horn?
Don't get smart. I'm trying
to have a conversation here.
So is your mom seeing someone?
What, like a shrink?
No, not like a shrink.
Like a guy. Is she dating?
I'm just asking, that's all.
No, I don't think
she's seeing anyone.
So who's this slut?
What?
The drummer's girlfriend.
Adrian. She's a majorette.
Adrian?
Lee.
You know what?
I probably shouldn't be here when
your mother gets home with Amy.
I'm gonna give them
some time together.
Three of you girls...
should have some time together.
Come on, could I get
a little sympathy here?
This girl I don't even know and care
nothing about is gonna ruin my life.
Your life?
What about her life?
Her life is her business,
and if she wanted to ruin her life,
she should've chosen
someone else to do it with.
You think Amy wanted this to happen?
Adrian, of course
she wanted it to happen.
She wants out of her life,
and she doesn't care how she gets
out of her life as long as she gets out.
She's... unloved.
She wants to be loved,
by me, by the baby,
that stupid Ben guy.
Anyone. Everyone.
She's got problems.
I just got caught
in her problems.
Like I don't have enough
problems of my own.
Are you gonna marry her?
Marry her? Is that what
you're worried about?
Is that why you drove
her to that clinic?
That's why you wanted her
to get an abortion.
Don't be so dramatic. I drove there
'cause she asked me to drive her there.
You told me she'd already
taken care of this.
I said I thought she had.
I knew you'd go running around with Grace
Bowman on a Save the Baby campaign.
Like you care about an unborn child.
Jeez, you don't care about
anything but yourself.
You're such a liar,
you know that?
Grace thinks I'm a nice guy, and you know
what, and around her, I am a nice guy.
And you know what who are
you lying to now, me or you?
Nice guy? Huh. No.
You're not a nice guy,
and I'm not a nice girl.
That's why you belong with me,
not Grace and certainly not Amy,
even if she is
having your baby.
Think I don't know that?
Hey. Why do you care if Ricky's
gonna have a baby, anyway?
- You're just friends, right?
- What do you want, Jack?
You. I want you.
I miss you.
Good. I hope you miss me
for the rest of your life.
Come on, Gracie. Reverend Stone said
he'd talk to your father about us.
If you just give us
another chance...
Don't take it personally.
I don't like cheaters.
I don't. It's not about me,
it's about Adrian.
Grace, I regret what I did,
and I apologize.
I take full responsibility
for my actions,
and that's more than Ricky's
ever gonna do for Amy Juergens.
You don't know that.
You're right, I don't. Maybe being friends
with you has made him a better person.
You mean that?
If anyone can change someone
for the better, it's you.
You think that?
I know I'm a better person
'cause of you.
Let me know if you
change your mind, OK?
You have to say somethin
It's your job.
This is a little outside
my area of expertise.
However...
Yes, however...
You do know that a marriage
between 15-year-olds
probably doesn't have
a chance in hell of surviving,
especially when you add in the
complication of raising a child.
That's a textbook response.
I'm looking for something human.
I mean...This is me and my beloved
Amy we're talking about.
I know that, Ben.
But even if you and
Amy were 30 years old,
it'd still be a difficult situation.
So what you're saying
is the odds are better at 30?
I'll marry her again
when I'm 30.
I can't imagine her parents
would let her get married now.
As in get married to me?
You don't think they'll let her
get married to me,
or to that...
fertile predator?
To anyone, Ben.
Why?
They might consider it to be
making a second mistake.
It's no mistake. I love her.
Yeah, well, sometimes
that's just not enough.
Huh. What are you
talking about?
Yes, it is. It's enough.
It's... everything.
Oh. Oh, I get it.
Get what?
You know, I always
knew it. I sensed it.
Who broke your heart,
counselor?
No one broke my heart.
I told you before, I can't discuss
personal matters with students.
Can you get a pizza with a student
and his father? Leo Boykewich.
Marc Molina.
- I figured I'd find you here.
- How'd it go with Amy's dad?
- You went to see Amy's dad?
- Yeah.
Ehh, he'll come around.
How'd it go with Amy?
Ehh, she'll come around.
Ehh... and if they don't come around?
If the man doesn't want his 15-year-old
daughter to marry a 15-year-old boy
who's not the father of her baby?
And if she doesn't wanna get married
at 15 just because she's having a baby?
Who broke his heart?
I don't know. He can't discuss
personal matters with me.
Come on, we'll get some pizza.
He'll shut his ears.
15-year-olds getting married.
I'm doing my job.
I'm sorry.
I know you're sorry, Amy.
And I'm sorry that this
happened to you, but it did.
You can stop apologizing, OK?
Things are what they are, and we're
just gonna have to figure them out.
Please just let me marry Ben.
Amy, it's not that you're too young.
We're young, but, Mom, he loves me.
And I love him.
I know, and I believe it. I do.
But you're in a difficult situation,and I don't
think you should let Ben rescue you.
OK, If you're still in love in
a few years, that's wonderful.
Get married when you're out of college
or when you've worked a few years.
But right now, let's see if you can take
responsibility and handle this on your own.
OK, I'll help you through this.
But if he's willing
to help...
There are consequences to
being rescued, believe me.
What consequences?
It's too soon to know yet,
but there are consequences.
I don't get why you think that.
I just don't think it, I know it.
I've lived it.
Your father rescued me, and I've
been trying to repay him ever since.
How did Dad rescue you?
Amy...
I was pregnant.
I have a brother or sister somewhere?
No.
Wait.
Me?
You got married to Dad 'cause
you were pregnant with me?
We eloped six months
before you were born.
We tell everyone else
it was 18 months, but...
we lied.
So we've actually only been
married for 15 years, not 16.
So... when you found out
you were pregnant,
you told your mother
you were already married?
Yeah.
Do you think you made
the right decision to marry Dad?
I would hate it if you
made a mistake because of me.
No, I think I made the right decision.
I'm happy I married your father.
I'm happy that we had you.
I'm even happy we have Ashley.
Do you think I made
the right decision?
Yeah, I think you made
the right decision for you.
Mom, why wouldn't you
tell me about this?
It was my little secret.
Mine and your father's.
Some things are really hard
to talk about.
Yeah.
So, I guess we both
can work on that, huh?
Yeah.
I love you, Amy.
I love you, too.
So what are you most afraid of?
That it'll hurt.
Oh, it will.
Don't worry. I'll be rigth there with you.
What else?
I don't want Ashley to have
problems because of me.
I don't want anyone
to say anything to her.
I just don't want her to think
that this is romantic at all
just because of Ben.
