Chapter 43: Lip Likes to Be a Father?
In mid-March, Fiona took the GED test and passed it without any problems.
A few days later, she received her GED certificate and officially graduated from high school.
In order to celebrate this meaningful moment in Fiona's life, the Gallagher family decided to throw a party for her.
After Frank was kicked out of his home and stripped of custody of the Lipps, the Gallagher siblings finally had a good time.
It's also because Frank deceived Karen's mother who suffers from a phobia of a strange environment during this time, although he wants to contribute chrysanthemums to Sheila to play, but he finally has a place to live, and he has no worries about three meals a day.
During this time, he did not come to harass the Gallagher siblings again, and there was also a reason for receiving a warning from Lip.
Frank, who had lost the custody of Lip and the others, did not pose any threat to Lip and them, and it was impossible for him to think of the Gallagher House as a hostel as before, and he could come and go as he wanted.
There is no way to even play the scoundrel, because Lip can now take up the weapon of the law to threaten him, and if he dares to play the scoundrel, Lip dares to apply to the court for a restraining order to restrict Frank's contact with the siblings.
As a rotten drunkard, he didn't have a positive impact on his siblings, and the restraining order was applied for one by one.
As for Frank's threat to kick the siblings out of the Gallagher house, not to mention that Lip already has a backup plan, and even if he doesn't, he won't be threatened by Frank.
Because, the Gallagher House does not belong to Frank, he is in illegal possession of the Gallagher House, and the handle of receiving Aunt Jinji's social security money is still in Lipp's hands, and Frank does not dare to blow up the stab.
Frank is now being killed by Lip everywhere, and there is nothing he can do about him.
Although Debbie and Carl still have sympathy for Frank, Debbie and Carl are also smart children, and they can divide four or six, but their future life depends on Fiona and Lip, and Frank can't count on it at all.
Being able to continue to call Daddy Frank is already the limit of their ability, and no amount of anything can be done.
Now, Frank has had another affair with Karen, and although Karen and Lip have broken up, she used to get along with Lip very closely.
What's more, Karen is still a minor, and having sex @ with a minor is a felony in the United States, so Frank has put another handle in Lipp's hands.
Now, when Frank sees Lip from afar, he has to avoid him, for fear of getting in his way and causing him to do something again.
The Gallagher family party was a success, and although there were only a few Gallagher siblings in attendance, plus Veronica, Kevin, Mandy, and Mickey, everyone got along very well.
Only Mickey, who appeared in front of everyone for the first time, was a little uncomfortable, although he had already been involved with Ian, he had not yet come out of the closet, and he did not want to reveal his true orientation.
Now, Ian's nominal girlfriend is still Mandy, but the reality is that it is Mandy's brother Mickey who is involved with Ian, and Mandy is also involved with Ian's brother Lip.
The theme of the party was to celebrate Fiona's GED certificate and high school graduation, and the certificate that had just arrived, now solemnly framed in a frame and placed in the most prominent position on the cabinet.
Veronica grinned with a beer bottle in one hand and Fiona's medicine in the other, "I really didn't expect you to be the first person in the Gallagher family to get a high school completion certificate!"
Fiona was also quite impressed by this, took a sip of beer, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it either!"
However, the high @ tide of the party, not this.
Halfway through the party and everyone was half drunk, Lip suddenly jumped on the couch, spread his arms, and said to them, "I have something to announce!"
Fiona, who was already getting drunk, interrupted him, "I know, you're going to be a father!"
"What?" everyone said in unison, "Lip is going to be a father, and who is Mom?"
"No! it's Mandy!" Fiona was already in high spirits.
"Mandy?" Veronica and Kevin, who didn't know the true relationship between Lip, Mandy, Ian, and Mickey, both widened their eyes.
"No, I'm not pregnant!" Mandy quickly denied.
"Why? you told me yourself!" said Fiona, shocked.
"That's ...... Lip asked me to lie to you! He wanted you to finish high school and get your diploma, and he was afraid that you wouldn't agree, so he came up with this method. Mandy explained.
"So, you're not pregnant, Lip won't be a dad, Lip won't drop out of high school, and you two lied to me to get my high school certificate of completion?" Fiona said.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Fiona!" Mandy said apologetically.
"It's okay! I know you're doing it for my good......! It's up for debate, but the result is good! I should thank you!" Fiona said.
"Honestly, I'm relieved to know you're not pregnant!Mandy, you're a good girl, that stinky boy from Lip doesn't deserve you!"
"Lip, is this what you want to announce? This is good news for me and for you!"
"No, it's not this that I'm going to announce, it's ......" Lip pulled a piece of printer paper from behind his back, held it above his head, and announced loudly, "I've been accepted to the University of Chicago!"
"What?" everyone said in unison again, "What did you say?" and everyone thought they were hallucinating.
Lip handed Fiona the printer paper in his hand and repeated with a smile, "You heard me right, I was accepted to the University of Chicago! I'm a prospective college student now, and I can become a full-fledged college student in September!"
Fiona took the printed admission letter, and read it carefully over and over again, up and down, back and forth, inside and out, and kept repeating in her mouth, "Shet!
Everyone gathered around Fiona and looked over the sheet of paper, which read "Philip Gallagher accepted to the Class of 2011 at the University of Chicago."
Fiona witnessed it with her own eyes and confirmed it repeatedly in person, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked Lip with her eyes, "You can't be doing your own trick again, make us happy!"
"Lip didn't lie to you, he did apply to the University of Chicago, his application materials, or I prepared for him! Of course, he was able to be admitted, it was all his own credit, his high school grade point average was A, he also scored a perfect SAT score, his grades were enough to be admitted to any university, and he applied to the University of Chicago, mainly because of the proximity to home!" Mandy explained to Lip.
