Adopted By A Drag Queen

Chapter 27. I Don't Know how to Feel

Ian's POV

I woke up on the floor of Kayla's bedroom. I sat up and groaned at the growing pain in my head. A migraine...great.

I looked around the room and saw I was the only one in there. They are probably downstairs eating breakfast. I pick up my phone and see a text from Danny.

Mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Hey be ready I am coming to get you guys in 30 minutes

I sigh, remembering what today is.

Ian

Okay

I shut off my phone, not wanting today to be real. This is all my decision though. It is for the best.

To distract myself from everything, I decided to get dressed and ready for the day. I pull a navy t-shirt, a pair of gray sweatpants, my binder, and a new pair of boxers, out of my overnight bag. Then go to the bathroom to change.

Once I am finished in the bathroom, I make my way downstairs, with my bag, to the kitchen, where I see Kade and Kayla, eating Frosted Flakes.

I decided to skip breakfast because I didn't think I could stomach anything right now, but I still sat next to my brother at the table. The three of us chit chat for about fifteen minutes, until there is a knock at the door.

Kayla walked over to the front door and opened it. Danny stood there waiting for us. "Hey Danny, come in." Kayla said, letting them in. "You two ready to go?" Danny asks Kade and I. We both nod. "Bye guys." Kayla spoke and pulled us both into hugs. The embrace was nice. It felt warm and full of love. We did let go though and started to walk out of the house. "Bye." Kade and I both said in unison. We giggled.

Once we got to the car I knew what was going to happen and where we were going to go. But I pushed all of that into the back of my head and just focused on my breathing. Today was going to be rough.

We pull out of the driveway and start on the main road. My mind starts doing the thing again, the thing where it thinks a bunch until I get a headache. "Nervous?" Danny asks me looking from the rearview mirror. "Yeah." I reply honestly. I am so scared. "We can always not go. We can turn around right now and just go home." They told me. I knew that though. But it was even scarier to think about what my life will be like with a human in my care. "No. This is what I want." I said more confidently. I needed to do this for myself.

The rest of the car ride I sat looking out the window. I didn't want to think about anything. I have very mixed feelings right now. But what I do know is that I can't have a baby.

We pulled into the parking lot of the clinic. "You ready?" Danny looked at me with sympathetic eyes. "Yeah." I replied, still scared.

We got out of the car and the first thing I heard was screaming from the other side of the road. "God has a plan for a baby!" I looked over to the right and sure enough there was a protester shouting at anyone who was going into the clinic.

I was instantly covered by umbrellas. I looked around and there were women protecting me from the screams of the protester. "You are okay baby." One woman said, guiding me into the building. My hand was intertwined with Danny's the whole time. The nerves started again. Do people think I am a horrible human for this? I am just doing what is best for me as a fourteen year old.

I finally make it into the building and the umbrellas uncover me. "Thank you so much." I graciously thank the women around me. "No problem babe. You shouldn't have to go through the hate of the bigots." I smiled at her. "I'm Ian." I told the people. "Mimi." A woman with a curly afro puff said. "Hayden." Another person with shorter hair smiled. "Zarah." The last woman with a hijab on said.
