The next morning:
Jessica had slept through the night after being brought in. She had no idea yet that she was pregnant. The doctors and her parents were waiting to tell her. She didn't remember much from the party and was a little scared when she woke up in a hospital room.
As her eyes started to open, the doctor and her parents stood over her.
"Hi Jessica...." the doctor says
"What happened?" She mumbles
"Your sister brought you in last night after a party. You had low blood pressure and some alcohol poisoning." The doctor says calmly
She looks at her parents. Her mother was sobbing and her father sat in a corner with his arms crossed looking at the floor.
"Mom... dad... I'm so sorry." Jessica cries
Dorthy cries harder and couldn't even look Jessica in the eyes.
This is when Jessica's world was about to turn upside down.
"Jessica, did you know that you were pregnant?" The doctor says upfront
"Pregnant? No... I'm not." Jessica shakes her head
"Jessica, honey, you are in fact pregnant. But your baby is okay after everything that happened last night."
There were no words to describe how Jessica was feeling. She felt sick to her stomach. She wanted to throw up. The thought of being pregnant made her feel helpless. Then, she thought about what was going through her parents head. She was humiliated. Jessica never planned for this. Her life was going to change within the snap of a finger.
She had promised herself and her parents that she would save herself until she was married. Being pregnant was the top of the sundae at this point.
"Mom..." she cries
Dorthy didn't say a word or comfort Jessica. Neither did her father.
"I'll leave you three alone and go get the discharge papers." The doctor says leaving the room
Jessica sat there and cried harder than ever.
"Is it Sam's?" Her father asks
Jessica nods her head. "It could only be his." She stutters
"I can't believe this Jessica. How could you let this happen?" Dorthy cries
"Mom I don't know... we used protection. I don't want this!" Jessica cries
"Well you shouldn't have been having sex at all, Jessica! Now you're stuck!" Albert snaps
"Daddy! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jessica cries
Albert shook his head in silence
"You're sixteen, Jessica! Sixteen! You're a baby! You didn't think! How many times did we tell you that all Sam wanted was sex! Look!" Dorthy sobs
"We love each other. We didn't mean for this to happen! But I promise, he'll take care of me!" Jessica struggles to say
"How can you be so sure? He's going to leave you, Jessica! He's 18 and his life is getting started. You're still in High school!" Dorthy exclaims
Jessica covers her face and cries into her hands. Dorthy cries too all while Albert thinks and thinks.
"And you snuck out last night. You almost killed your self and that baby! You had no business sneaking out and going to that party!" Dorthy adds
Jessica couldn't say another word. She was lost for words at this moment.
"Since you are making all of these adult choices and believe that Sam will take care of you, then fine. When we get home, you will pack your things and leave our home. You are no longer welcome in my house. You are an embarrassment and I have never been more disappointed and angry in you. I can't even look at you. You have proven to me and your mother that you are not the daughter we raised." Albert says, breaking the silence
