Esmè laid in bed and sighed. She knew that she was feeling rotten and she knew it was the pregnancy getting to her.

She knew it wasn't easy. She knew how she wanted to make it work. She was having a baby and it as a lot to get her head around

Esmè laid in bed and groaned as she suddenly felt nauseous. She sat up. She groaned as she ran a had through her hair for a moment before she rushed up and into the bathroom. She hunched over the toilet as she threw up and groaned.    

She continued to throw up for a few minutes and sighed. She sat on the floor and sighed. She knew it wasn't easy.

She knew that she was having a baby. Max was trying to be there and supportive. But she knew he was worried about being a father. She knew how he hadn't got his head around the idea of being a father.

Once Esmè, was finished throwing up. She walked into the kitchen as she replied to a text off of Max.

She sighed "it's okay little bean. Mummy is here and it will be okay. I promise," Esmè said. 

She knew how things were. She knew how she was going to be a mum and it scared her.

She knew that she just wanted for things to be okay. She knew that she wanted to give her baby the best. And she just hoped that she could do it.

Esmè got to work and stood in the staffroom as she saw Grace who smiled. "Hey. How are you feeling?" Grace asked.

Esmè sighed. "Rotten."

"I get that. But that baby will be worth it. Have you spoken to Max?"

"I have. He's still unsure about the idea of being a father. But I told him in keeping the baby. Even though I don't know if I can do it alone. I just hope that he comes around to the idea, you know. It's just not easy," Esmè told her. 

Grace smiled. "I know. I'm sure Max will come around to the idea. I mean, he's a good man. I don't think he'd turn his back in his own child. It will be okay."

Esmè looked to her and smiled. She knew how none of it was easy. But she knew how she wanted what was best for her baby. No matter what it took.

Esme sat in her classroom and looked to see max as he walked in and looked to her and smiled. "Hey. Are you okay?" He asked.

Esmè smiled.  "I'm okay. I guess it's just not easy," she said.

Max nodded and smiled. "I know how you haven't been able to trust me. But I want you to know I am here. I have been thinking about it. And it's my baby too. I am here for you. No matter what happens," he said.

Esmè looked to him and smiled. She was grateful of how he was there for her. She knew it wasn't easy

But could she and Max really raise a baby together?
