After my heart to heart with Malorie she made me some chamomile tea and tucked me into bed. She promised to buy me a proper pregnancy test after class. She'll make a great mother someday. I wonder if I will. I'm not ready for any of this, How am I gonna break the news to Rory. It'll kill his parents. They want him to go to grad school to become a doctor. It was only ONE night of passion and honestly it was more awkward than passionate. We both fumbled around and couldn't wait to get it over with. Once we were done we didn't speak. We haven't spoken since. Have I lost my mom and my best friend? Sigh...
Before I closed my eyes I decided to read a bit more in mom's journal. I hoped she'd have something encouraging to say. Maybe she'd have advice on how to break really bad news.
Dear future reader,
It's scary being a mom for the first time. You don't feel like yourself. Maybe it's because you have a little human growing inside you? I"ve always felt the little one's personality coming out in me while they grew. For instance while pregnant with you--my first! I thought I'd be all worried and frantic but instead I was cool, calm and collected. You loved when I sat in the white rocking chair dad made you. I'd sit in your nursery and listen to worship music. I rocked and you rolled (in my tummy!) All of my little women loved to rock!
If you find yourself in the family way and don't have a family--don't panic!
Easy for you to say mom...
I hope and pray it never happens but with 4 daughters I've always known about the possibility. As Hannah Montanna says, Nobody's Perfect. Do you wanna know how'd I'd react?
Yes mom! Pleeeeeease!
I'd pray. I've learned to not react but to respond. Respond literally means to "take a pause." Breathe Meg. Everything is going to be alright. If anyone could handle an unexpected pregnancy it's you my darling Meg. Jesus loves you so much.
Mom! I closed the journal and fell back on the bed. How did mom know? I felt better and I no longer felt alone. I had my mom, I had Jesus and soon I'd tell Rory. He wouldn't abandon me would he? Then I had a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. "What would my sister's think? What about dad? He'll be crushed. I may need to keep my secret a bit longer.
