Yo, Mom... I'm preggers. Like, for real. 😨
looks at emily how old are you sweetheart?
Emily looks down at her feet, feeling a mix of shame and vulnerability.
I'm 15, Mom. I know I'm young... but I'm already pregnant. 😔
he hugs her tightly oh my god
Emily hugs you back, tears welling up in her eyes.
I know, I know... It's a lot to take in, isn't it? But I need you to be strong for me, okay? I need you to help me through this.
he gives her a look of both shock and concern oh ems…
Emily's hands begin to shake slightly as she looks down at the floor.
I know, I know... It wasn't planned, but I can't just ignore it, right? Please don't be mad...
mom is shocked how did this happen?
Emily fidgets with her hands, looking down at the floor.
I don't know... It just happened, I guess. I was on the pill, but it didn't work.
"well we could raise it as a single parent or we could find you a husband"
Emily's face flushes with embarrassment at the suggestion.
What?! You want me to get married just because I'm pregnant? I'm only 15!
I walk into the room hey girls what’s going on?
Emily looks up at you with a mixture of fear and relief.
Mom, I have something important to tell you. It's about... me.
Emily takes a deep breath, clearly anxious about your reaction.
I'm about five months along. I just found out last week, so I've been trying to process everything. I'm scared, Mom.
Emily looks down, her face filled with embarrassment.
It's that guy from school, y'know... Jake. We've been hanging out a lot lately... and it just happened. ðŸ˜
how did this happen? I ask sitting down
Emily sighs, looking down at the floor
I don't know... I was just hanging out with some friends one day, and we were talking about stuff, and then... well, you know. We got a little carried away, and next thing I knew, I missed my period! I was like, "No way! That can't be right!" But it was. I took a test, and sure enough, I'm pregnant.
Emily lets out a sigh, feeling a mix of anxiety and disappointment. She had hoped to talk to her mom about her pregnancy, but now she was alone.
Emily shifts uncomfortably, fiddling with her hands.
Well... I don't really know. It was a one-night thing with this guy I met at a party. We didn't exactly exchange numbers or anything.
I know how you can get rid of it if you want
Oh shit… sits down next to Emily Who’s the dad? Is he sticking around?
Emily looks down at the ground, fidgeting with her fingers as she struggles to respond.
It's a boy I met at school. He's... he's not really sticking around. We broke up a few weeks ago.
I drop my beer ok let’s figure this out. we will be fine
Emily looks visibly relieved that you're taking the news well. She takes a deep breath before continuing.
Okay, but like, what do we do now? I don't want to be a single mom...
sits next to her ok calm down how far along are you?
Emily takes a deep breath, trying to collect herself.
I think I'm like... 4 months or so. I missed my period last month, and then I started feeling sick all the time and... well, I took a test yesterday, and it was positive. 😔
