"it's..it's..." my breath was shaky. i didn't want to state the truth that was right in front of me. this was going to be a huge roadblock in my life, and there was no possible way of avoiding it.

"i'm pregnant, ty." i cried out, dropping the stupid pregnancy test that revealed a tiny pink plus sign that was everything but holy. tyler immediately wrapped his arms around me, trying to soothe me.

how did this happen? well of course i knew how it happened. there was three possible times and i remembered them so clearly. but we were so careful, weren't we?

obviously we weren't. because here we were sitting on my bathroom floor finding out about the baby that was forming in my stomach as the tears fell down my face. we had only just turned 16. what would people think of us? our family? our peers?

now, if the two of us were raised in slightly less religious homes, the guilt would be loosened. but both tyler and myself were born Christian. baptized at birth, we went to church every sunday, and we even went to a Christian high school.

our family might forgive us, but the people at our school were for sure going to be brutal. there was no way around that dilemma.

"it's gonna be okay." tyler assured me. "we're gonna be okay."

"we're 16! we were supposed to wait until marriage. we didn't and now everyone's gonna know. they're gonna judge us so bad, we'll never hear the end of it, what are we gonna do?" i cried. he simply wiped my tears off my face and looked at me.

"listen to me," he said to me. "teen pregnancies aren't uncommon. of course they're frowned upon, but it's nothing we can't handle. i'll be by your side no matter what. this baby is gonna have a whole big family that's gonna love and cherish it, i can promise that."

i took a shaky breath. tyler was right. our parents would be upset with us, but they would support us.

"what about the people at school? they're gonna know..."

"they don't have to. you can attend until you show visibly and then i'm sure you can homeschool until after you have the baby. i know the kids at school would be brutal, and you shouldn't have to go through that."

i cheered up a tad bit. we seemed to be figuring out things just the two of us. tyler and i had always made a good team.

we eventually got up and smartly disposed the pink stick. my parents knew tyler was over, and they never minded. they always swooned over the idea of him and i being together ever since we were young.

if only they would've known what would come in the future.

i tried not to think about that as we went up to my bedroom to study for an upcoming test. we agreed that we would tell our parents soon. however, didn't decide when.

receiving the pregnancy news was enough itself for one day.

one year and three months later

i shot up to the sound of julie crying. it was 6:17 and my alarm hadn't gone off yet, so the baby crying was a good thing. i had already slept in 17 minutes and i didn't want to be late. tyler wasn't by my side when i woke up, and i slightly cursed him for not realizing i had overslept.

i picked up my daughter from her crib and held her, trying to calm her down. her tantrums were much shorter now, given that she was already six months old. i remembered when she was first born, her fits were so loud and noisy that it woke everyone up and nobody was in a good mood.
