My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 26 - Testing myself...

Hey my awesome readers!
Sorry I haven't updated in like a week! I was in so much pain from my wisdom teeth coming through my gums, so I was od-ing on ibuprofen and had a heatingpad on my face. So annoying! Next chapter will be when she's 25 weeks! Blah, I definitely have to get this story going!
Hope you're all still with me and thanks so much for the amazing support.<3

      After Maci gives me her address is when I hang up the phone and know exactly where I'm going because I know the street she says she lives on. I walk across my room and right when I walk past the mirror hung against my wall is when I move a few feet backwards and stare at my reflection in it. My body is so small and petite, and I look so young and innocent, but my belly is really starting to get big at this point. I lift up my shirt and place my hands on my stomach, gently rubbing it while staring at the bump in the mirror. Is this really happening to me?

      I eventually make my way down the staircase and grab my keys that are on the table beside the door, as I walk outside and release a deep breath. Maci has no idea that I'm really actually pregnant, and right now is when I wonder how exactly she is going to react to seeing me with this huge belly. I get inside my car and suddenly feel very claustrophobic because I finally notice that my steeringwheel is way too close and is pressing hardly on my stomach. 

      I push my seat back so I can fit better and then finally, I'm driving down the street. Two minutes of me carelessly driving is when I suddenly realize that I'm on E and have no gas! Sighing in aggravation, is when I pull into a gas station and I fill the tank halfway, because I don't have a lot of money on me. Suddenly, out of nowhere, is when I get a very strong craving for watermelon sourpatch candies. 

    I happily make my way into the convienent store in a pretty great mood, as I step inside and glance around. Finally spotting the isle where all the candy and junkfood is, is when I begin to walk over to it and I see two ladies staring at me, as I smile because I'm a friendly person. They grin back as I walk over to find what I'm looking for. Skimming all the candys is when I unexpectedly hear someone talking from the next isle, which immediately catches my attention.

      "That poor girl," A woman's voice quietly says, as I instantly freeze and stay silent.

      "Poor girl?" Another voice speaks up. "How about her parents?"

      "I can't believe how irresponcible some teenagers can be. It's horribly disgusting."

      Suddenly a wave of nausia overwhelms me, as I rest my hand firmly on my belly, suddenly thankful that my daughter can't hear this. "Girls these days have no self respect."

     "I can't believe she wouldn't abort it, instead of bring an innocent child into this world--"

      And I can't take listening to this anymore. I quickly walk around the corner and make it to the next isle as the ladies widen their eyes and stare at me, in what looks like fear.

      "I didn't abort my baby because I couldn't do that. It's a terrible thing to do and although I'm not against it, I'm not for it. I didn't like the idea of killing something I created, myself. I didn't like the thought of having them suck it out with a vaccum cleaner machine. I didn't like the fact that I would feel like a murderer." I look at the both of them in sadness, feeling tears collecting in my eyes. They both stay silent and by the looks on their faces, I can tell they feel guilty.

      "I apologize," The lady on the right chokes out, the voice sounding like the one who said I should have aborted my baby.

      "It's a girl, you know. I'm considering adoption because I want what's best for her," I softly rush out, as they quickly drop their gaze to the ground.
