Life Changing

Chapter 60

"Is your reason for wanting the abortion because of what happened with your previous pregnancy?" The doctor asked.

"Partly yes." "My last pregnancy I carried to term, no problems whatsoever." "Every ultrasound appointment everything was fine." "Then a few weeks before I was due, I lost my baby." She said with tears in her eyes. "It's also because I don't think we can do it." "Raise a baby." "I'm thirty-five and so is my husband."

"You can make the appointment with the receptionist on your way out but Emily, I strongly suggest that you at least talk it over with your husband first."

"Ok."

Emily made the appointment with the receptionist when she was leaving.

As Emily was driving home she called Amy.

"Hello?" Amy said.

"Hi Amy." She said sadly. "I just came from the doctor."

"Oh god." "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm pregnant."

"Well that's good news."

"No." "I don't want the baby."

"Why?"

"I can't deal with it again Amy." "When I lost Greyson it tore Travis and I apart." "I don't want that to happen with John." "I'm a terrible person." "I don't want my baby."

"You're not a terrible person." "Whatever decision you make, I support you a hundred percent."

"I'm scheduled for an abortion tomorrow afternoon." "I feel so ashamed." She said tearfully.

"Don't." "It's ok."

Emily kept quiet about the baby all day but Sam could tell there was something wrong with her. Later that night Penelope was in bed. Sam sat down next to Emily on the couch.

"What's wrong Em?" He asked.

"The doctor told me something today." "I'm pregnant." "I don't want the baby." "I'm sorry." She said tearfully.

"It's because of what happened last time, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I just don't think we can raise a baby at our age."

"I think we could."

"How do you feel about this sweetheart?"

"Well honestly, I'd like you to keep the baby but given what you've been through, I completely understand why you don't want to." "I love you Emily and I support whatever you want to do."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"You won't be mad?"

"Not at all."

"I wanna get an abortion."

"Ok."

"I made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon."

"I'm coming with you."

"I feel like such a monster." She said starting to cry. Sam hugged her.

"You're not."

"I'm sorry."

"Ssh, there's nothing to be sorry for." "It's ok."
