15 and Pregnant

Chapter 9

I was in the second trimester already. I was really starting to show. My bra was getting small, really small. I was getting bigger and heavier, everywhere, not just my stomach. I had to tell my mom now.

I saw her with my sister in the kitchen.

"Mom I need to talk to you."

I think Priscilla knew what I was going to say.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I'm pregnant."

She froze for a second, then she put the plate on the counter.

"I knew it." she said. I think she almost started crying.

"I can't believe you are going to be a teen parent." She almost hit me but she stopped herself. She hugged me.

"I am so disappointed in you"

"Mom, I know, but wait, you knew?"

"I saw your pregnancy tests in the garbage." she said.

I should've hid them deeper or something.

"So when you got me that book for my birthday, you knew?"

"Yes, but your father doesn't."

I have to tell my dad now too. That's not going to be easy.

"I thought this threw already, and I'm going to help you through this. It won't be easy, but you'll do it. Oh and, your grades better not be dropping because of this, or you're in even bigger trouble."

"I understand."
