Cheryl tells Toni how she got pregnant.

Cheryl and Toni were sitting on the couch in Toni's trailer, holding firmly onto each other's hands. The smaller girl was waiting patiently for her girlfriend to say something regarding the whole situation.
"My parents they..." Cheryl was barely intelligible as she spoke her first words to Toni. "....they want me to be with a man." She uttered her words very carefully, feeling scared she'd hurt Toni's feelings.
Toni already knew this. They had never approved of their relationship and had never even tried to understand that their daughter liked girls. They were awful people.
"So they set me up with this man....this stranger....they....they spiked my water and just...they just let him use me."
Toni watched Cheryl's face silently, her girlfriend was in so much pain, it was horrible to witness. She could feel the distress in her own body too as she realised how big of a deal this all was. Her girlfriend was drugged, assaulted and impregnated at the hands of her own parents. They had inflicted yet another horrific trauma on their own child. It was monstrous.
"I'm not letting you go back to your parents Cher, never." Toni meant what she said, she wouldn't let those people around her girlfriend anymore. Even though it was her own family, she wouldn't allow it.
"I uhmm...I filed a restraining order against them actually this morning. I'm 21 and legally an adult, so as of right now they can't even reach out to me."
Toni was immensely relieved to hear that, but she could see in the eyes of her lover that relief wasn't the right word. Cheryl was disappointed and heartbroken. She hated her parents with every fibre of her being, but very deep down she didn't want to hate them. She wished to love them and be loved by them in return.
"I'm proud of you babe, for choosing you." Toni said while wiping away a tear from Cheryl's chin with her thumb.
Cheryl nodded. "I'm choosing myself....and I'm choosing you...and I'm choosing the future of this baby."
The brunette swiftly glanced at her girlfriend's stomach, before meeting her eyes. It looked like her stomach was bloated, but one couldn't really tell that she was pregnant yet.
Cheryl instantly noticed the look in Toni's eyes and grabbed one of her hands. "You can touch my stomach if you want."
Without saying anything, Toni scooted over until she was sitting right next to her girlfriend. She hesitated for a moment, before gently lifting her top and placing a hand on her lower abdomen.
"It doesn't feel right." Cheryl stated without much emotion in her voice. "But it doesn't feel wrong either."
Toni nodded. "I can understand. Cher...I uhmm...I know it's an intense question, but are your sure that you want to keep this baby?" She needed to ask that question. She just needed to know what she was thinking. Whatever she would decide would be fine, but she just needed to know.
"I want to keep it, that's all I know. I just hope you'll stay with me TT." The tears were streaming down Cheryl's face as she looked at her girlfriend.
Toni continued to caress her girlfriend's stomach gently. "I will always stay with you Cheryl. Always." She placed a kiss on her shoulder and her cheek and just held her for a little while.

Four months later
"Thank you so much for everything." Cheryl said before hugging Toni's mom Nathalie. Her bump was getting bigger now that she was 6 months pregnant and it was starting to become pretty uncomfortable.
