Teen Pregnancy

Chapter 2: Telling

I didn't believe my eyes at first and decided to take another test to be sure.

When i told Hanna the results, she wasn't surprised, but told me to talk to Stefan before anyone else.

I called him with Hanna and put it on the speaker, " Hey Stefan, i need to talk to you about something" I said shaking.

"Is it good or bad?" He said nervous like me.

"Depends what your thinking" I explained everything, how i took the test and it was positive. "I don't know what to do now"

"Hold on, i'm coming over" he said, then hung up.

Me and Hanna talked about it for a while, then Stefan came in and i fell into his arms and balled.

"I don't know how to tell my mom, I can't do this" I said in tears, he held on to me tight.

"It's gonna be ok, I'm here and whatever you decide, I'll still be be here for you" he said softly.

I let go and we all sat down together and talked it out, then i heard a car door shut and i looked out the window to see my mom coming up the stairs, I started to panic and Hanna and Stefan saw me shaking and hugged me, my mom opened the door and saw us all sitting there, she looked confused.

"What are you guys doing here?" she said, dropping her purse on the ground.

"Mom i need to tell you something, you might wanna sit down for this" she sat down and i showed her the test i was hiding "I'm pregnant" i said, my voice was shaking, my mom didn't look happy but who would be when they hear their 16 year old daughter is pregnant?

"I don't know what to say, I'm not happy about this at all" she said, I'm surprised she didn't yell at me.

"I'm so sorry mom, I didn't know what to do, i thought it was some kind of a joke" I said about to cry.

"I'll forgive you if you get an abortion" she said, she sounded very serious, I didn't even think about an abortion, I knew that she would say that, but i didn't think about getting one.

"But i don't want to kill my baby, I'm already here" I said, I really hope she wasn't gonna force me, she just stared at me.

"You get an abortion, or you're not living here anymore, you got that?" She yelled this time, I got scared and almost started balling again, then Stefan stepped in.

"This is her baby Mrs. Lindell, you may be able to kick her out, but you are not in control of her body, if she wants to carry this baby, she will" he turned to me "you can stay with me at my house, my parents won't care" "I smiled at him, he is my hero, my mom just stared at him now.

"Fine, but if your parents don't let her in, she can not come back unless she gets rid of that baby" she stood up and looked at me " you have 2 hours to get out" she walked at the door and slammed it shut.
