Dear, Mona.

The Final Decision

Before I walked into the doctor's office... I had a revelation, I was going to be a mother! There was a living, breathing human inside me, and not just any human, but my little human. I knew then that I couldn't part with you. Mark and Shawn aside. You became the most important thing in my life and nothing or no one would come first again.

Doctor:  Twinkle, it's good to see you again. How are you feeling?

Twinkle:  I'm really nervous and I still can't believe this is happening to me.

Doctor:  That's normal, we'll get you through this, don't worry.

Mrs. Rae:  I'm her mother, by the way, and I'm here to help.

Doctor:  It's wonderful to meet you! I'm happy to see Twinkle has such a solid support system but now first things first... Have you thought about your options?

Twinkle:   I have. [Nods heads and then puts hand on chest]  I want to keep the baby.

Doctor:  Congratulations!

Twinkle:  I know it won't be easy... and I know I have a million things to figure out. I also know adoption is a wonderful option but it's not for me.

Doctor:  Well, in that case, I want you to continue taking your vitamins and we also need to do an examination.

Twinkle:  Alright, but... I do have one more question.

Doctor:  What's that?

Twinkle:  Is there any way... to discover the paternity before I deliver the baby?

Doctor:   Hmm... there is. I can tell you more if you're interested.

Twinkle:   Not right now. It's a bit overwhelming.

Doctor:  Okay. Regardless, feel free to grab some pamphlets on your way out.

Twinkle:  Okay, thank you.

At home...

Hello, little baby. I hope you heard what I said today, I'm going to keep you and I'd like to apologize for... being so confused and stressed these past few days. I think I'll be confused for a little while longer, but I'm not confused about you. I love you already... [Giggles, and hears phone buzzing]

(Twinkle takes a look at her phone.)

(Texting-  Shawn:  Twinkle, I want to apologize for the way I acted, but the news just... it took my breath away and I'd like to meet up so we can talk. Figure out our next steps, and just know that I'm here for you.

Wow I definitely wasn't expecting that.

(Texting-  Twinkle:  Thank you. That means so much to me, and I'll text you this coming weekend so we can talk.

(Texting-  Shawn:  Thank you, and okay talk to you then.

But for now... the baby and I need some rest.

(She begins to lay down but then... she hears something at her window...)

Was that a knock on the window?! Who could that be in the middle of the night?!

(Mark gets inside.)

Twinkle:  [Gasps]  Mark?! What are you doing here?!

Mark:  I'm sorry to sneak in like this, but... I couldn't sleep. I want to apologize and we need to talk. Can I stay for a few minutes?

Twinkle:  No. I'm in no mood for a serious conversation. I'm sorry.

Mark:  Okay fine. [Rubs head] But... just know I'm thinking about you. Both of you. [Points to her stomach] and I'll be waiting for your call... [walks away and climbs out window]

The next morning...

I guess I should get ready for school... [Changes and looks in the mirror]  Eh, I guess I won't be impressing anyone with my outfit today. Not even myself. Yuck! I better get to school but right after I do something with my hair! [Brushes it and making it nice]

At school...

Twinkle:   Sooo... I have some news for you guys...

Max:  Is the news that you had to sell all your good clothes to save some money for the baby? Because that would explain your outfit.

Twinkle:  Thanks, Max. [Rolls eyes a bit]

Max:   Well, it's either that, or-- oh no... don't tell me there's a third baby daddy in the mix!

Blair:   Max! Don't be crude!

Twinkle:  No. Still just the two but thanks for bringing some humor into such a crappy situation.

Max:   See? I'm making her laugh, Blair.

Blair:  Whatever.  [Turns to Twinkle] what's your news?

Twinkle:  I've decided... that I'm going to keep the baby!

Max:   That's amazing!

Blair:  Aaa!

Max:  Blair and I can be godparents, right?

Twinkle:  [Giggles]  Yes of course. I'm so happy you guys are happy for me.

Blair:  We support you no matter what.

Max:  We sure do. Except when it comes to diapers, I'm not touching those!

Twinkle:  [Giggles again]  Understandable.

Blair:  What do Mark and Shawn think about that?

Twinkle:  I'm still figuring it out, but I'm doing this with or without them.

Blair:  That's the spirit.

Max:  You go, girl! but now I have to go, I'll catch up with you two at lunch. [Walks away]

(Stacy shows up...)

Stacy:  So, you're keeping the baby? You're so selfish.

Blair:  [Turns around]  Excuse me?! Who do you think you are, listening to our conversation?!

Stacy:  I'll do whatever the hell I want!

Twinkle:  Stacy, I know Shawn is your brother... but I am not going to allow you to invade my privacy! 

Stacy:  I don't care how you feel. You're ruining my brother's life! And most likely the life of my homecoming date! You're disgusting!

Blair:  Let me at her, Twinkle! I'll knock the dye right out of her head!

Twinkle:  No, Blair. Let me handle this. [Looks at Stacy]  Stacy, no one feels worse about my situation than me, but it's MY situation and I don't need your attitude or your advice.

Stacy:  Whatever, but just so you know... by tomorrow, everyone at school will know your "situation".  I'm going to tell everyone you're pregnant! And that you don't even know who the father is!

Twinkle:  [Gasps]

Oh my god... she's going to ruin my life!

(Twinkle started to burst out crying...)
