My birthday already passed it was yesterday but i didnt want to celebrate it. I turned 20 and my mom and Keverly with Hess came to give me some flowers.  Also my mom's birthday passed i have her a perfume she always dreamed of and we went out to eat with her and her friends. After meeting Vanessa all I could think about is what she said it's been a week. And I can't get her off my mind. And I think she was right. But because of all the mess I didn't have time to tell Keverly and Hevis about the baby. So I went to their house. They were really happy to see me and asked me if they could give me a hug. I missed them so I went in for the hug. We started talking. And then they asked.
-so what's new Chelsea?? Are u alright?
-yep. Yea. Um just one tiny thing. That is kinda shocking but um well I'm pregnant and I'm not sure if I'm keeping the baby and it's all very messy because I met my cousin at the hospital that I've never seen before. It's just a lot happening right now.
They looked stunned and Keverly said
-well I'm very happy for you. I really am. But the cousin part it's kinda confusing anyway IM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. And whatever you do I will support you
And Hevis said
-yea same. You know we care about you. And your opinion matter the most. So it's your baby. only yours. So it's your choice. We will love no Metter what. Choose what you think is the best choice.
-Thank you guys. Aww I missed you. And I think I already know what I'm gonna do.
Keverly smiled and said
- text us when you'll be sure.
-yep yep okay I'm gonna head out
-sure.
When I got home.. the smile I had dropped. My choice is abortion. I called mom and she said if that's what I want. And I went to the hospital. The doctor and I had a long conversation that maybe I want to give birth to this kid and put it in adoption but I already made up my mind. Before going to run some tests I texted Vanessa to let her know. The doctor ran some tests. And I waited for this to be over. The doctor came in. And said
- the results came back. So. U have a lot of medical issues right?
-yes. Why?
- I'm really sorry but we cannot do abortion.
-what? Is it because of my health? The issues?
-yes I'm sorry. Abortion could put u in a coma or worse.
-no. Um it alright.
The nurses left and doctor sat near me
- look Chelsea. I have a 1 kid. She wasn't planned. And I thought it would ruin my life. I was scared I would be a bad father. Because I knew that as a kid I had to go thru so much because of my parents.  I was scared to make that little girl go thru the same things. My girls mother. She died. Died in a terrible car accident when my girl Sophia was 3 months. And.. when I had to raise her on my own. There were bad days and good days. But... she brings me so much joy. Her little paintings on father's day. Her goodnight kisses. I love seeing her happy. And i love watching movies with her. She is my best friend and daughter.  So look Chelsea. It's not as hard as it seems it will be. I'm sure u would be a good mom. Here is my number call me. And tell me if u will be a mom or adoption it is, u have time to think.
He passed me a note with his number on it and doctor James left.
I was tearing up. I felt like a bad person. Why did I choose abortion? Why? Why not raise a good girl instead. I left the hospital crying and thinking I texted Vanessa that I can't do abortion.
And mom that I'm thinking about adoption and keeping. Doctor James really touched my heart with his story. I think he is such a great father.
And If I wanna be a mom. I have a chance now. So why not just be a mom? Im gonna be a mom. yes OH MY GOD  IM GONNA BE A MOM IN 6 MONTHS AND AROUND 2 WEEKS IM HAVING A BABY. WHOW. I can't believe it. I called mom and told her everything she was happy. She told Vanessa. I also texted Keverly she was also happy. And then in the evening I called Doctor James. He answered with his soft voice. And asked what's my address. I told him. And minutes later he was outside. He asked me if I'm willing to have dinner with him. I wanted some time out of this mess so I went with him. His car was a Mercedes G Wagon. We went to his house. He said Sophia was at her grandma's house. He had a servant that set up the table In his garage he had a Lamborghini. His house was A MANSION. I guess I see why parents want their kids to be doctors. We sat at the big table with lots of food. And started eating.
-so Chelsea. Why did u decided to keep the baby?
- Well doctor James you. Your story touched my heart. And.. your story made me choose what's best.
-call Me James. And I'm happy my story inspired you to choose the right thing.
The whole afternoon we laughed. Talked. And I catched myself opening up to him and telling about my father when he heard the story he said
-Oh I'm sorry that this happened to you.
-oh what was I thinking telling you this. Ur my doctor ur literally just a person. I have to go it's late.
He asked me if he can drive me home but I said I'll call an Uber. I was feeling guilty for opening up to him. Not even Keverly or Hevis knows the whole story. And my doctor that is literally a random doctor and a random person to me. Now knows everything? Why my life is such a mess. But Also I felt good around James. He was kind and- uh no Chelsea what are u thinking he's your doctor.  After this long day I went to sleep.
