Where do you want to meet at? -D

Meet me at the house from the other day *L

So I waited for what seemed like forever. I felt like he was just going to bail on me and the baby. But then he showed up in his big black truck. Thank God. Not that I been doing much of that lately.

He stopped and I climbed up. "Where to?" He asked. "Anywhere but here." I said.

We drove to the baseball fields. No one was practicing yet so the were still empty.

Okay so what is it you needed to talk about and don't say us because you know I can't do that.

It not about the two of us.

What the hell. Who is it about then?

The three of us.

Who is the third person.

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know. I didn't drive all the way down here for you to play with me.

I'm not playing with you they just don't have a name because I don't know if it's a boy or a girl or what's going to happen to it.

Leeann please don't tell me you are saying what I think you are.

That depends on what you think I'm saying.

"Are you......" He asked as I grabbed his had and put it on my stomach.

No no no. Not you Leeann not you. You're too young. What are you going to do?

I don't know that's why I needed you here to tell me.

Leeann I want this baby too really I do. But this isn't sister wives. I can't have two babies by two mommies at the same time.

What do you want to do?

What options are there?

Well we can have the baby and the other girl can do something else. Or she can have it too and we could be like sister wives.

I don't know about that. We already told her family.

At least she can tell her family......

You haven't told anyone?

I can't because then they will want to know whose it is and I would have to tell them and we can't tell. I didn't want you to get in trouble but I don't know what else we can do.

Well what other options do we have?

We can have the baby and you can see it when you have time. But people would know it was you. We could give the baby up for adoption but still they will have to know it was you. We could abort but I can't do that.

What about a miscarriage?

What about it?

You could have one.

Yea which means a trip to the hospital with my mom and then they tell her it's a miscarriage then she wants to know whose it is. Then she still knows it's you. Good plan.

Well what do you suppose we do?

I don't know but you are going to have to fess up I think. I don't think my mom will be happy about it but I don't think she will turn you in either. She knows what it's like to raise a kid without a daddy. The only way we can keep us an absolute secret is an abortion. But I won't do it.

Leeann...I don't want to either. But I could have two babies running around with no daddy if we told anyone. I would go to jail and then what.

If it came to the worst then you would go to jail yes but you would get out.

I can't do that. I would miss my babies being born and who knows what else.

*long silence*

He reached in his wallet and pulled out $300 and gave it to me. Here hold on to this. How far along are you?

Nine weeks maybe ten. It had to have happened at the cabin that night we were drinking.

Leeann that's it. He gave me another $100. Go stay with Jen for the week. Use this money to get someone to buy you a lot of alcohol. And drink it. My sister had a miscarriage like that.

You want me to kill it.

Technically it's not alive so it can't be killed.

Whatever I'm not going to fight about it.

Just do it Leeann please.

What if it doesn't work.

Take the rest of the money and have Hen drive you to a clinic for an abortion.

Tears started to fill both our eyes. We both got ourselves into this mess and there was no happy ending. Even if we kept it there would still be another one. We had no choice. At least one baby needed a full time daddy and it became obvious that it would be mine. It couldn't be mine.
