Those nine months were the hardest of my life. Trying to do my school work with a baby constantly kicking you is not a stroll I'm the park, it hurts! Then, I had to quit drinking and smoking for the baby, and it actually felt great to be off that stuff. I had forgot how it felt to be sober for a long time and it felt fantastic to feel it again. After the little meltdown Drew had in the hallway we talked it out and decided that I would have the child on weekdays and he would have the child on weekends. But ever since I told him, he's been distant around me and treats me like this all my fault. Then I have to keep Drew and Ben away from each other because Ben wants to, and I quote "break his face!" and I don't want my baby daddy having his face broken. Me and my mom are staring to get along again, and my dad still doesn't care about me, but at least he hasn't hit me in nine months. Been a hard few months if I do say so myself.

It was December 12, 12:43pm. I was doing my work in my fifth period class when I felt the front of my pants dripped wet with water. I had know what that meant and started to panic "Teacher! I need to be excused like right now!" I exclaimed, practically begging actually. He knew like everyone else that I was pregnant so with no hesitation he let me leave. After being rushed to the hospital and having my entire family and Drew being called to the hospital, I started giving birth. It was the most agonizing pain a girl can go through, but it was worth it. I had my first son on December 12 2013 at 1:55pm. My family rushed into the hospital room seeing me carry my son for the first time "He's so cute!" my mom exclaimed nearly crying in joy after seeing him "He looks just like me." Drew pointed out proudly, and kisses his son's forehead. "What are we going to name him?" I asked him, and we both thought for a moment "How about Drew Jr.?" He asked, and Ben mumbled under his breath "We don't need two of you running around." and Drew gave him a very angry look, but said nothing to him thankfully. "How about Albert?" I said and Drew gave me a weird look "We not naming our son after a dead genius guy." he stated, and again Ben said under is breath "It would better then naming it after an idiot." "Look dude if you gotta problem-" I cut him off saying "Guys stop! Jackie doesn't want to hear you two fight." I said and the baby stopped crying and giggled a little "I think we found it, Jackie Marco-Bridges." my mom stated and we all agreed on it, thank god we did.

After I was cleared to leave the hospital, I left with my baby boy. I thought this child was going to be a burden on me, but after looking into his eyes. His emerald green eyes, I knew this was the best thing that ever happened to me.
