Kaylie pov

Two months had passed since Kaylie's graduation, and the euphoria still lingered. She was thrilled to have achieved this milestone, but her mind kept drifting to the struggles she faced along the way. Lately, she'd noticed a surprising increase in her appetite, which was unusual for her. Perhaps it was the aftermath of her last vitamin shot finally kicking in.

The memory of how she developed her eating issues still lingered. Her stepmother's constant forcing of spoiled food on her led to severe irritation and, eventually, a debilitating ulcer. Which triggered her past condition .

The mere thought of it made her stomach churn. Those vitamin shots were a lifesaver.

Thankfully, Kaylie had been recovering well, and her midnight kitchen escapades had become more frequent. Savoring each bite, she relished the freedom to eat without anxiety. Her step-sister, Susan, suddenly shrieked her name, shattering her tranquility.

"Get in here and serve us breakfast!" Susan yelled.

Kaylie hesitated, feeling like a servant. The smell of sizzling bacon wafted through the air, making her stomach turn. She rushed to the toilet, barely making it before her breakfast made a reappearance.

Her stepmother burst in, her voice dripping with malice. "I told you she's pregnant!" she exclaimed to Kaylie's dad. "We're taking her to the doctor right now."

Their words cut deep. How could they assume such a thing? Didn't they know her at all? Kaylie was certain she wasn't pregnant; she'd never had sex. The thought of facing a doctor, of facing the truth, terrified her.

As she splashed water on her face, Susan's smirk lingered in her mind. Their relationship was strained, to say the least.

The car ride to the doctor's office was tense. Kaylie's dad's silence spoke volumes, while her stepmother's gaze bore into her. Susan's snickers echoed in her mind.

Upon arrival, the doctor's warm smile offered some comfort. "So, what seems to be the issue?" she asked.

Kaylie's stepmother launched into a dramatic account of Kaylie's alleged pregnancy. The doctor listened attentively before turning to Kaylie. "Let's take a look, okay?"

The examination room's sterile smell and the cold stethoscope against Kaylie's skin made her shiver. Questions swirled in her head: What if they're right? But how's that possible?

The doctor's gentle voice broke the silence. "Kaylie, you're indeed pregnant."

Kaylie's world crashed. "That's impossible!" she stammered. "I've never...I'm a virgin."

The doctor's expression turned compassionate. "We'll run some tests, but it's clear you're about six weeks pregnant. We need to discuss options and support."

Kaylie's mind reeled. How could this be? Was she losing her grip on reality?

As they left the office, Kaylie's dad's gentle pat on her shoulder offered a glimmer of hope. "We'll figure this out together," he said.

But Kaylie's thoughts were consumed by one question: How did this happen?
