Pregnant?!? Holy Mother of Chocolate...

Chapter one
What?
No!
Pregnant...
It isn't possible. That was the first thought that went through Gwen's head. To be pregnant meant you had to have sex. Gwen had never had sex. I looked at the doctor like she was some kind of moron.
"Look, I can be pregnant. I am a virgin." I laughed.
The doctor looked at the test results again and then looked back at Gwen with a mix of confusion and calm patience.
"Miss Bower, I know you are young and this is scary for you but please understand. Just because you say you aren't pregnant doesn't make it true. I check these results over and over again and they prove that you are about two months pregnant".
I stared at her, "Look doc but I am not three years old, and I am seventeen! I know where babies come from. I know that the stalk doesn't drop them off at mummy and daddy's doors. I have never, ever, ever had sex. I would remember something like that"
The doctor swivelled around in her chair and looked at me face on.
"Sweetheart, have you been to any parties or have you been out drinking with friends? Because it is possible if you don't remember something it might have happened then."
Gwen sat there looking at the doctor but only seeing a very distant memory. About two months ago her best friend had had a huge party and not many people remembered the next day. Including Gwen. I could feel the room getting smaller, things were getting blurry and she could feel the perspiration on her skin. Holy mother of chocolate; I was pregnant.
"Um, wow", was all I said. Of all the things I had thought may have gone on that night, this was not one of them. This was as far away from all of them. I had had sex. I hadn't been a virgin for over two months and I hadn't even known it. Well, not many people could say that, I thought.
The look on the doctor's face was now one of understanding. She reached over and put her hand over Gwen's.
"Ok, sweetie, you don't have to panic. There are options that you...."
"NO!" I yelled, cutting the doctor off. "No, I don't want to kill my baby. I screwed up, literally, not her" I finished quietly.
The doctor looked at her with a fond smile.
"Ok, then. I think that for the time being, you should stay home from school for a few days and think things through. You should let your parents know. They have been through a pregnancy before and could help a lot" she replied.
After getting a prescription for prenatal vitamins, a million pamphlets about teen parenthood and a medical certificate so she could stay home for a few days, I left the doctors and drove the long way home. How do I tell my parents, of all parents that I am pregnant? I thought... well better take the long way home.
Chapter two
A few weeks later Gwen still hadn't told anybody. I had just come home from my first ultrasound and was looking at the image of my baby in my hands. I was beginning to get used to all the morning sickness and had invested in a few new clothes that would hide my slowly emerging baby bump.
Looking at the picture in her hands it all began to feel very real, and very scary. I was a seventeen year old student with a baby due in around thirty weeks or seven and a half months. My entire savings account totalled $109, I had no idea who the father of my baby was and I had to name a baby!?! The name of my baby would be stuck with us both for ever. What if I wanted to name it Griffin or god forbid Bertha... because I was too doped up on the drugs? No. this was too much for me to do alone. But it looked like I would be.
