JAMES’ POV

“I...I’m p-pregnant.”

I felt like I had just been slapped really, really hard. Between Jade sobbing in my arms and the words that just came out of her mouth, I was very scared. Pregnant? She was expecting my child? Um, okay, I didn’t know what to say. Every time I opened my mouth to speak, no words came out. Obviously I wasn’t mad at her, but I just didn’t know how to respond. My mind was trying to process what she just told me. A baby....she...she was having a baby. She had a tiny person in her stomach right now and it...it was mine.

“Jay? Say something. P-please.”

“A-are you sure? Like, tests c-can be wrong.”  I wasn’t going to abandon her if she was. I would never do that, but I just wanted to be certain. If she was pregnant, what would we do? We were only seventeen and I wouldn’t always be much help through the pregnancy, considering I was still getting cancer treatment.

“I-I was gonna talk to Dr. Rivers and a-ask her to confirm it.” She sniffled, pulling away from me. 

“Come on.” I whispered, taking her hand. “I-I’ll go with you.”

After we stood up, I wiped the remaining tears from her cheeks, kissing her forehead. She put her arms around my waist then, and we walked out the door. Carlos was standing nearby, trying to act as if he hadn’t been eavesdropping on the conversation. Well, it was a little late for that. I had really good awareness of things around me.

“James? Jade? Is everything okay? I was just talking to Carlos....

“Dr. Rivers,” Jade exhaled. “We need to talk to you.”

“Okay, I got the results of the blood test back.” Dr. Rivers said, sitting across from us. She didn’t even have to say anything for me to know. The understanding, the sympathy, such an apologetic expression. It...it was true. “Jade, you are...five weeks pregnant. Listen, though, we can help, though. I know a support group for young mothers and they can help you make a decision about what you want to do and--”

“Wait, wait, wait.” I interrupted. “It’s my baby too, you know. Shouldn’t we both discuss it?”

“Yes, of course.” Dr. Rivers nodded. “James, I understand that, but we also have to understand that it’s Jade’s body and, ultimately, what she does about the baby will be her decision.”

“You people have gotta be kidding me.” I was not going to sit here and listen to her tell me that I should let Jade do whatever she wants with our baby without any consideration for what I may want. Yes, I was aware that it was Jade’s body, but it was also my baby. I knew I was in a rough situation right now, but I had rights too.

“James, please--” Jade pleaded.

“I’d like to be alone now.” I whispered, pushing her hand away before storming out the door. I choked back sobs as I stepped onto the elevator, staring at the wall in front of me. I didn’t understand. Didn’t my opinion matter? Didn’t anyone care about how I felt? Of course not. I hadn’t fully processed the whole “my girlfriend is having a baby” thing, but that didn’t mean I didn’t love the baby.
