"Mom, I'm Pregnant".(Short story)
There are three words that no mother ever expects or wants to hear from their young teenage daughter. The words, "Mom, I'm pregnant," were spoken to me by my middle daughter when she was just 15 years old.
At that moment, time stood still. My beautiful young daughter, the really good athlete with the winning personality and smile to match, was going to become a mother; no, actually she already was a mother.
All I could say at that moment was, Jenna, we will get through this. I then asked her to excuse me for a few minutes as I needed to go to my room to collect myself.
I calmly walked to my room, shut the door, and sobbed. I didn't want Jenna to see me this upset as I knew she was equally upset especially for fear of the unknown.
I called my husband and we cried together. I decided then and there that we would do whatever it took to get Jenna through this. I also decided that life would be tough for Jenna and this new little life; the last thing I was going to do was make it tougher!
The next few days are a bit of a blur as we discussed many options. My husband and I wanted her to stay home and finish school and we would help her with the baby. She and her boyfriend had other plans.
Her boyfriend was going to join the military so they could marry and he would be able to support his new family. We felt she was entirely too young to marry. Her boyfriend was almost four years her senior, and he wanted to care for Jenna and the baby.
