I could see it

It's been a week since me and Charlie last spoke. It's not like he hasn't reached out. He wasn't the one who ran away this time, it was me.

Our argument got a little too heated and I wanted to spend a little more time dealing on my own. I needed to be on my own.

I guess this is why people say teenagers shouldn't have babies.

We still have a ton of growing to do. How could we have the time or energy to raise someone else properly. I'm still learning to be myself and now I have to learn to teach someone else.

Casey means the world to me and I don't know where I'd be without our and maybe this baby could as well but... I can't.

I made the decision on my own.

If Charlie isn't going to raise this baby himself, I'll find a family. I nice family where I could visit it and get pictures. Attend birthday parties and baptism (depending on the religion of the family he's with) I could be like the cool aunt who picks you up at school when your parents are stuck at the office- And talks to you about things mom and dad don't understand.

I could see that future for me. And this baby.

But could he see it?

Could Charlie see it?

"I see it." Charlie grabs my hand and squeezes it. "I can see it, Yale."

"So do we have an agreement?"

"What if we don't stay in New York?"

"Pictures. Facetime. Zoom. There's so many options Charlie. We could still have a relationship with this baby without being it's parents."

"We are his parents." Charlie sighs. "So where can we find these couples. I get final say."
