Bounded

The proposal

The first thing I did after coming back home was to call Hunter.He confirmed that he had to escort me away from a room that night at the party;so drunk I had been.He couldn't give me an exact description of the girl who was with me but he said that she was a red-head.May had ginger hair.
So there was really a possibility I got her pregnant.Fuck,although a part of me believed her,the other part craved for it to be a lie.A fucking lie!

To say I was frustrated in the past few days would be an understatement.The mental pressure was too much to bear.Not to mention how much the bitch started disturbing me every day by texting me,forcing me to give her the money for abortion.God knows how she got my number and I really didn't give a shit about that.
I was going crazy and it was when I reached my limits that I took the best decision of my life.
I divulged everything to my parents.From meeting May,her pregnancy,her demands to the fact that I wanted the baby.
To say they were shocked hearing this would be the joke of the year.They were dumbfounded.
Mom was more angry than dad.She couldn't believe I could be so stupid to have done that.I don't blame her.
Dad calmed her down as he believed nothing could be solved by being hyper.Then they agreed to meet May so as to reach on a mutual agreement.
On the decided date,my parents and I went to meet her.She had given me the address so it wasn't too hard to locate the place.She lived alone.
May was too shock to say anything upon seeing us at her doorstep.But she did cover her nervousness tactfully by putting on a confident attitude.My parents had a long discussion with her.We learned that she grew up in an orphanage and worked as a part-time model for a small agency.Although I didn't give a shit about her,I had no choice but to bear with her.In the end,she gave us a proposal.She said she would deliver the baby and hand it to us.After that she would be free to go wherever she wishes.Noone's gonna stop her.But till then she would bear with us and take proper care of herself.All her medical expenses would be covered by us.In return,we were to hand her a lumpsome amount of money.
We had no choice but to agree because this was the only way to prevent her from getting an abortion.
Only we had a condition.She had to do a DNA test.We wanted a full-proof evidence that the baby was mine and not someone else's.
Surprisingly she agreed without any further protest.

After the meeting we left for home in our car.
''Mom,dad thank you so much.And am really sorry to put both of you in trouble'',I said.
''Everything's gonna be fine champ.We are glad you realized your mistake and didn't back away from taking the responsibility of the baby'',dad said while driving.
''Yes that's true.But Drew you need to have that presence of mind so as to juggle studies,baseball and being a young dad in near future'',mom said.
''I know and I will.Am just worried how to break the news to Veronica'',I replied.
Veronica's my twin sis.She and I literally share everything with each other and this is the first time I ever hid something from her.She still doesn't know about this.I should've told her before but I just couldn't.It didn't seem like the right time.
''Oh boy,then brace yourself for a round of her outburst'',mom said.
''Yeah I know she would be mad as hell'',I replied.
''Drew want some icecream champ?'',dad asked suddenly.
''What?Seriously?'',I asked in disbelief.
''Yes we thought to lighten up a bit of your tensions.We know you are going through a lot but we want you to know we are in this together.Even Veronica will support you.She always does.Remember to hold your head up high no matter what happens in life and fight for what is worth it.Having a baby changes your life completely but it does so in a good way.You are strong,just don't lose the focus in your life.Your priorities should be set straight.We love you baby and we always want you to be happy'',mom said.
I kept quiet for a few moments.I couldn't thank God enough for giving me the world's best parents ever.
''Mom.Dad'',I called.
''Yes?'',both asked in unision.
''You are amazing'',I said.
''We know'',they replied and started laughing.
''And I love you the most'',I added basking in their laughter.
A smile tugged on my lips unconsciously as dad handed me my favourite mint chocolate icecream.
They cared for me,they loved me and I was determined not to let them down.Again.
