Miracles

Chapter 1

April 23rd

After Trevor and I found out we were 'expecting', we didn't want to tell anyone right away. We stayed away from our parents and when the time came to face them, we didn't say anything until today. We arranged to have a dinner where my family and his would meet; then we'd tell them.

It was at my house so all I had to do was be prepared for the outcome, help make dinner, and make the house look nice. I showered when I woke up and chose to wear jeans, a white shirt, a grey cardigan, and grey nikes. My makeup was natural with a little extra mascara. My hair was straighten with it pinned up at the sides.

I was helping my mother with the dessert. She looked so happy. I hope the announcement wouldn't dull her mood. I know I'm just a sophomore in highschool. I know I can make it through this. Trevor and I just have to decide if we want to go the adoption route, or keep the baby. There's no way I'm getting an abortion. Trevor knows that.

When I heard the doorbell, I took off the apron I was wearing. On my way to the door, I stopped at the mirror we have in the hallway, making sure I still looked presentable. I opened the door to reveal Trevor and his parents.

"Hey," I said giving Trevor a hug and inviting them in.

"You look beautiful," Trevor whispers in my ear. I blush and punch him lightly.

I walk into the dining room to find everyone seated, but my mom. I walk into the kitchen to find her carrying the last plate. I smile at her and go into the dining room. I sit in between Trevor and Hayden.

We talk about school at first and our plans after school. Towards the end of dinner, Trevor looked over at me and I nodded, now's the time.

"We have something to tell you guys," Trevor says grabbing my hand and smiling at me, I smile back.

"What is it? Is everything okay?" His mom asks.

"Everything is fine. Don't overreact though.." he pauses, "Dylan's pregnant."

It felt like the room froze. No one moved, no one said anything, they all just stared. My smile slowly started to fade, so did Trevors. I removed my hand from his and rested it in my lap. I see my mother lower her head and rest it in her hands.

"How long have you known," my mother asks.

"Since yesterday," I told her.

"How far along are you," Trevor's mom asks.

"4 weeks and 4 days," I tell her. She nods.

I feel something touch my hand and I looked down to see Hayden's hand resting on mine. I look at him and smile. At least he's responding to this well. I don't know what I'd do without my little brother.

After everyone left, I started dishes in the kitchen. I hear someone come in from behind me, and choose not to acknowledge them. Then I hear a sigh, from what sounded like my mother.

"Do you know what you're going to do?" she asks.

"Hmm?" I respond continuing the dishes.

"Are you planning on getting an abortion?" she says.

"No," I say firmly.

"Well, I think you should," she says trailing off.

"I'm not going to kill the living thing inside of me because you think I'm not ready or because Trevor and I made a mistake," I told her turning around and facing her.

"Just think about it," she says as she leaves the room.

No matter how much I think about it, It's not going to happen.

After the dishes, I went up to my room and sat on my bed. After awhile, I hear my phone go off. I looked at it and I had a text from Trevor.

'Meet me at the park.'

I don't respond, grab my keys, and leave.

I pull into the parking lot and see Trevor sitting on a bench under a few trees. I walk over there as I watch kids play on the playground.

"Hey," Trevor says with a smile as I sit down next to him. I cuddle up to him and I let the moment be silent for a little bit.

"Did your parents say anything to you after dinner?" I asked.

"They want you to get an abortion," he says looking down.

"Same with my mom," I tell him.

"I told my parents that that option wasn't on the table," he says as he looks at me.

"My mom told me to think about it, but there's no thinking to it. It's not happening."

"Why can't they be supportive?"

"Trevor, you're a senior, and I'm a sophomore. We shouldn't be worried about parenthood right now, but we are. All are parents wanted for us was a normal successful life. We disappointed them."

"I know, but they can't undo this. We refuse to undo this. No matter what, we are parents."

"We could do adoption.."

"I don't know, is that what you want to do?"

"I'm not sure. I don't want to be one of those people who say yes to adoption then later have the baby and no longer want adoption."

"Me too, babe. Me too."
