S3 Chapter 9 - ''Unbecoming''

Bridget Martin

It was now the next morning. The night before Nate got me settled into the house although there was still some unpacking to do. I was laying in my new bed in the room I now share with Nate since he moved out of his old bedroom and into a different one for the two of us. 

He was currently up getting ready for college but with everyone going on we needed to talk. We're having a baby yet we haven't even begin discussing the details.

''Can we talk?'' I asked making him stop to look at me.

''Of course.'' He walked over sitting back down on the bed.

''What are we going to do about the wedding? We can't have it right now because of this kid..''

''You're due in December, right? Well.. life is going to be hectic after the baby is born so once we adjust to the responsibility of having a child then we can have the wedding.'' Nate answered.

''But what are we going to do now..? I moved in, so what's next..'' I asked the anxiety evident in my voice.

''Just relax babe. You're pregnant you shouldn't be doing anything. Once you have the baby then we can figure out your school situation but for now just relax.'' Nate told me in a soothing tone.

''Okay..''

He gave me a small smile before getting up and resuming his routine. Nate quickly finished getting ready walking over to the bed and pecking me on the lips. ''Bye, I love you.''

''I love you too.'' I grinned.

Nate then headed for the door but I stopped him again with one last question. ''Wait.. do you have any names yet?''

''.. I'll think about it.'' He stated before leaving closing the door behind him. 

After he left I laid there for a bit before having to get up to go use the toilet. Doing my business I finished up washing my hands and walking out to go have breakfast in the nearby kitchen asking one of the workers to cook something up for me as I grabbed the remote turning on the television.

The first thing that came on was the news. The anchorman was covering what happened the other day at the mall.

The robots..

I could feel my blood boiling watching the footage of the robots appear on the screen.

Calm down, calm down.. this isn't good for the baby..

I managed to stop feeling anger but now I was sad. I got up going to go use the bathroom since I had to pee again. Once I did that I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection.

Placing my hand on my stomach I glanced down. I have another person growing inside of me right now..

Do I even want this kid?

It's not like I have a choice.

But I don't want them to feel unwanted or unloved..

However, having them in my body is putting me at a disadvantage. I don't want people walking all over me anymore..

Suddenly, what that leader robot said to me popped up into my mind.

''A pregnant lady should not be overexerting herself. I could easily kill you and your baby, you weak human.''  

No, no, no.

I'm not going to let this happen anymore. I'm fucking sick and tired of it.

And even if I am pregnant, I'm still strong and it's about damn time I proved it.
