"Excuse me, what the hell did you just say to me?" Ward said, standing up. "I'm very sorry Mr. Cameron, I don't know how this happened, I used protection, and we tried our best to be careful, and-" How dare you, come into my house, and lie to me, and get my 17 year old daughter pregnant! She was supposed to graduate high school, and grad school, and marry a man who would spoil her and treat her right, and your pogue ass decided to get her pregnant!" He yelled, standing in my face. Sarah was sobbing, and I said "Sir, it was an accident I didn't mean for this to happen." "Yeah, and I'm sure you were an accident too." He replier. Sarah looked up at her dad and said "How dare you say that to him." She grabbed my hand and stood up and Ward yelled "Leave, and don't come back." Wheezie was on the stairs crying, Rose could barely stand, and Ward's face was bright red. We ran out to my car, and quickly drove back to my old place. Sarah was crying the whole way and when we got there, and Sarah immediately went to my bed and laid down and curled up into a ball crying. She looked down at herself and said "I'm so fat." She stood up and started pacing back and forth, and I said "Sarah you're not fat, you're pregnant." "I don't want to be fucking pregnant John B." She yelled at me. I had never been full on yelled at like that by her before, and I was a little taken back. "Well then book an abortion." She grabbed her phone off the bed aggressively and dialed the number and said "Hello, yes, um, I would like to book an abortion. Tomorrow at 10? Yeah that works." Immediately after hanging up the phone she broke down on the floor crying. I squatted down next to her and she said choking between tears "My family will never look at me the same." "Sarah, I'm so sorry." I said trying to stay calm, "I never meant for this to happen. This wasn't supposed to happen." The rest of the night we were quiet. We ate PB&J sandwiches and Sarah went to sleep quickly after and didn't say much to me. The next morning we both skipped school, and I quietly drove her to the doctors office. "Do you want me to go in with you?" I asked her as we sat in the parking lot, looking at the door. She started crying and she said "I..I don't know if I can do this John B." I grabbed her hand and said "Okay, well let's go in, and we'll figure it out." She nodded and I helped her out of the car. We went inside and she filled out the paperwork with her hand shaking, constantly looking around. "Sarah?" The nurse called. She looked up and I helped her get up. We walked to a small room where Sarah sat on a scary looking seat and another nurse came in and took her blood pressure and weight and then said "So are you still going through with the abortion or what are you thinking?" Sarah looked at me and said "I really don't wanna cry again, I just don't know." The nurse looked at me and I added "I don't know either." The nurse lightly smiled and said "Well how about I bring in a doctor and you guys can discuss it." Sarah nodded and said quietly "That sounds good." When the doctor came in and introduced herself Sarah looked even more nervous and she said "Oh don't be nervous sweetie, we'll help you reach the right decision. Now your three options are abortion, adoption, and well, becoming a parent. So if you choose an abortion, you're early enough to still take the pill, which will be quick and followed by heavy period like symptoms for a couple hours to complete the abortion. If you choose an adoption, it would most likely be a closed adoption here in Kil-Dare county and the baby would be given to its adoptive parents right after birth, however you would have a huge say in who you would want the parents to be. And if you decide to keep the baby, you wouldn't get as many teen pregnancy resources here on the island as you would on the mainland such as day care, so you would either need to find something yourself or choose homeschooling." Sarah looked up st me and bit her lip and she stuttered "C-can I have an ultrasound, before I decide anything?" "Oh of course Ms. Sarah, we have to give you an ultrasound either way, but we'll do that right now." She called in another nurse and asked Sarah to lift up her shirt, and she nervously did, and then the nurse rubbed blue jelly all over her stomach and she said "Ooh thats cold." The doctor rolled the wand looking thing over her stomach and looked on the monitor, and within a couple seconds we saw a bunch of black and white on the screen. "Oh wow." the doctor said. "What, is something wrong?" I asked nervously. "Oh, no, everything looks great, but do you see these two shapes?" Sarah nodded, "They're twins." Sarah and I gasped at the same time and looked at each other and Sar shed a few tears and said "Oh my god how?" "It just happens." The doctor replied. She looked at me and said laughing through her tears "Why is your sperm so good?" I laughed and the doctor laughed, and I said "I really don't know man." "So this is baby number one, and this is baby number two, and they look to be in a good place as far as growth in development." Sarah shed a couple tears and said "I was already scared, and now I'm even more scared." The doctor started wiping the jelly off of her stomach and she said "What are you scared about sweetie?" "Everything, I just, I don't know. I don't think I can have an abortion." "Well that's okay, we can support you, and John B here will support you, and we can try to get some county assistance if you decide you wanna parent the twins, and if you want to look into adoption we have many resources." Sarah looked at me and I squeezed her hand and said "I'll always be here for you." The doctor pulled her shirt back down over her belly and moved the seat back up and Sarah said "I..I have to talk it over and discuss it with John B and everything to decide, but I wanna go through with the pregnancy. And, and I'm really really really scared about being pregnant, and like, giving birth." "Well it's gonna be a hard pregnancy I'm not going to lie to you. You're already at a higher risk because of your age, and twins may make it a little hard at times. But we'll check up on you often and do what we have to do." Sarah nodded and the doctor left to give her some brochures and talked for a little while about her symptoms. We went back home and for the rest of the day we sat outside looking at the water and we ordered a pizza for dinner. We went to bed earlier that night, but at midnight I heard knocking at the door. Sarah squirmed in bed but I told her to stay in bed. I went out to my living room and saw JJ standing at the door with a black eye. "Whats up?" I asked. He came in hobbling and I helped him onto the couch and he said "M-my dad, he kicked in my knee, and it hurts like a motherfucker. But I can't live there anymore John B I cant." He started to cry and Sarah came out of the bedroom and said "Oh my god JJ!" She ran to get ice and I sat down next to him and said "Hey man, we got kicked out of our house too. Just crash on the couch for now." Sarah sat next to JJ and told him to lay down. She put the ice on his eye and then another bag on his knee. She cleaned up some cuts and he said "Dang Sarah you're so darn sweet." She smiled and I said "Hey, don't steal my girl." Once he got situated Sarah went back to sleep and I talked to him for a little about his abusive father and then he fell asleep and I quietly snuck back into bed. The next morning when I woke up Sarah wasn't there and JJ was asleep. About ten minutes later she returned with a bag of food from a fancy coffee shop in kookville. "What's all this?" I asked. "Well, JJ had a rough night, and there's nothing to eat here, so I figured I would pick up some breakfast." I smiled and kissed her head and said "You're the sweetest thing." JJ slowly got up and said "Thanks Sarah." as he grabbed a croissant out of the bag. I took a sip of coffee and Sarah said "So while I was there I saw Rose." "Oh god." I replied. "She, she asked me if I got an abortion yet." Sarah shed a tear and said "She said, if I don't get an abortion I won't be allowed back in the house." "God girl you cry every day," JJ said. I hit his arm and said "Don't bully my girlfriend for being emotional." "I guess the kook king doesn't want his daughter pregnant with the low life pogue spawn." JJ added. Sarah cracked a smile and said "Yep, a kook and a pogue haven't made a baby together in a long time, let alone twins." We went to school that day and Sarah worked up the courage to go talk to her counselor about everything. That evening Sarah decided to take Wheezie out for dinner since Ward and Rose had another adults only country club dinner, yet Wheezie had to sneak out. At dinner she told her that she was having twins and Wheezie was so shocked but then got up and ran around the table to hug her and me. "You know dad and Rose keep talking about you, and they're really hoping you have an abortion." Wheezie said. "Well we're not doing that, so Ward's gonna have to suck it." I replied. She giggled and said "So like, you guys are gonna raise twins?" "I guess so." Sarah said putting her hands on her stomach. When she went to take her home she hugged Wheezie for a long time and then said "Keep being my little spy." Wheezie scrunched her face and said "If I feel like it." We had decided we needed to start saving some money since we were really gonna do it and I was basically fired from my job with Ward. I went to help out Pope and his dad with deliveries and Sarah went to help out Kie so we could both make some extra cash before stuff got real. Hayward was very lenient and understanding of the situation, although it did feel embarrassing that the whole town was starting to know, and I still had to tell my dad.
