My Urban Love Story

Chapter 10:

It was a beautiful Saturday

afternoon, just a few minutes past

1. My Father and I were sitting

anxiously in the doctor's office

waiting for the test results. A nurse

came into the waiting to tell us to

horrible I felt I could never kill my

baby. This whole situation wasn't

the baby's fault, it was mine. "I'm

keeping the baby." I said defiantly.

She paused, before handing me a

packet, and continued talking

about the appointments I would
