Forced to Be Without You

Figuring Things Out

LucyP.O.V

As time went on, I became more confused. I'm pregnant but in college. Do I have to drop out? Will I be able to manage a baby in college if I don't? What in the world am I gonna name him/her?

"Lucy, you need to calm down. Stress is not good for the baby." Levy scolded as I sat down on my bed.

I sighed and replied with, "I know..."

"Do you want me to make you some green tea?" She asked.

"Please?" I smiled. She nodded and started making tea for me. "You're the best." I complimented her. Once she was done, she put it in a cup and gave it to me.

"Let it cool before you start drinking it." She told me.

"Yeah yeah yeah.... Mom." Levy glared at me.

"Hey, I'm just looking out for you and that baby." She took a seat at our little work desk and began reading a book. I let the tea cool down then started drinking it.

"Thanks for the tea, Levy." I got up and put away the cup. I looked down at my belly and observed the small bumb I was gaining.

"Levy, what do you think I should do?" I needed advice. I needed someone to tell me what I should do.

"Do about what?" She asked still nose deep in her book.

"The baby... Should I try to deal with it and college or... Drop out?" With this asked, Levy put down her book and stared at me.

"I think you should do whatever you think is best for you and the baby. Whether its staying here or going back home." The tone of her voice being extremely calming.

"But that's the thing, I don't know what's best for me and the baby." I covered my eyes with my hands.

"What does your mom think you should do?"

"Oh um... About that. I haven't quite told my mom..." Levy gasped as I told her this.

"What?! Why haven't you told her? She's your mom for crying out loud! She should have known, its been almost two months!" Levy scolded.

"I know, I know. I just couldn't figure out how to tell her. Usually telling her things are easy, but this... I just don't know how." I explained.

"You're going to call her right now and talk to her." She told me.

"But-" she cut me off.

"I did not ask you to, I told you to." She handed me my phone and crossed her arms, waiting for me to call my mom. I sighed and dialed my mom's number.

After a couple rings, she answered. "Hi honey, how are you?"

"Hey mom... Im good."

"Is everything alright, you sound distant. Hah, get it? You sound distant, because you're far away." Mom started laughing at her own joke.

"Haha... Yeah I get it..."

"Really Lucy, is everything okay?" She proceeded to ask.

"Everything is okay, but there is something I need to tell you..." I started.

"Okay..."

"Mom..... I'm pregnant." I told her. She started squealing extremely loud like a fan girl. I pulled the phone away from my ear so my ear drum wouldn't pop.
