Chapter Text
I looked at the test and I felt my heart drop.
Pregnant.
Twenty-two, fresh out of university and pregnant from a one night stand of a man who didn’t even love me. How could I be so stupid, Ive always been a ‘good girl’, done the right thing, followed the rules and for what?
I knew I had options, the world had advanced in a way that allowed me many solutions, getting rid of them was not a possibility to me, I support women and their right to abortions but it was never something I could see myself doing. Care wasn’t a possibility, I feared that they could end up in the wrong home, bad conditions, I had read stories, had friends who had grown up in the system and I could never forsake a child to that life. I could consider adoption but this child was mine, a baby fifty perfect me, I had always wanted to be a mother, and knowing of the struggles my mother and sisters faced with conception I knew that this could potentially be a rare opportunity for me.
It took not ten minutes of consideration to give me my answer. I was going to have this baby, my baby.
