Dr. Olendski told me about my options. I could give the child up for adoption, keep it or abort it. I was seriously thinking about abortion. A kid with a fucked-up mom and a rapist dad would be damned. It wasn't ideal but maybe it was the best option.
Then I remembered something. Ending my child's life could be my biggest mistake. What if this child was my redemption? I could make up for my mommy issues by being the best mother possible. I could prove to the world, to everyone that I could do both; be a guardian and a mom. I would show my mom what she missed out on.
Dr. Olendski came back to check on me and I asked her how far along I was. She hadn't checked. A few minutes later she rolled in a machine.
"We can check now if you want?"
"Sure," I replied softly.
She squirted some gel onto my tummy and I squirmed. After spreading it with a wand, a grey and black picture appeared on the monitor.
"And that," she pointed at a bean-shaped figure, "is your baby. It looks like you're about 8 weeks along." She smiled and tears filled my eyes. Maybe this child was a mistake to Ralf but I had an overwhelming pull to the child which I realized were maternal instincts. I loved biology but I never thought I'd see it in myself.
I don't know why or how, but I am going to keep this baby.
I just couldn't help myself. Also, I spell with British English, not American.
