June 2013

She paced around her apartment, glancing at the pregnancy test every now and then. It was positive. But how could it be? She was on birth control. Had she forgotten to take the pill? How will she tell her boyfriend of 3 years that she's pregnant? How will he react? How will they be able to raise this baby when he's always travelling?
Her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening and the shutting. He's home. Now is the time.

"Hey babe, guess What?" He said as he kissed her cheek.

"What?" She said trying not to sound so tense.

"We're going on tour soon.  Out very own tour."

He sounded so excited and all she could do was fake a smile. He noticed her  smile was fake as she didn't share the excitement with him.

"What's wrong babe?" He asked

"I'm pregnant."

He stood there silent with no emotion. He didn't say anything for a good minute or two. She couldn't tell what his facial expression was or what he was thinking.

"Nah, you're fucking with me." He finally said

She shook her head.

"You're serious? How can you be pregnant, you're on the pill?"

"I-I missed a few." She stuttered

"YOU MISSED A FEW!!" He raised his voice.

She didn't like it when he raised his voice. But she kinda knew he would react like this.

"I'm sorry." She whispered

"Sorry? You're fucking sorry? For fucks sake Tessa, it doesn't take a genius to remember to take the fucking pill"

He was now angry. She was frightened, she didn't know what to do or say. They both stood in silence until he spoke again.

"Its either me or the baby." He said coldly.

"Ash I-"

"I'm serious Tess. It's me or the baby. I'm not ready to have kids. I'm at the peak of my career and you want to ruin it."

She didn't know how to respond but she knew one thing. She was keeping this baby no matter what.

"So.." 

He was waiting for an answer and she gladly gave him one.

"If you don't want to be apart of our baby's life then I suggest you leave and never come back." She croaked as her voice broke.

"Fine. We are done."

And with that he left the apartment. 3 years down the drain all because of an unborn baby. Well she doesn't need him to raise this baby. She can do it by herself.

"I'll protect you my precious. Mummy will protect you." She whispered to her stomach as she let tears fall.
