“What,” I exclaimed. “Brittney, you are not going to have an abortion.”
“Why the heck not,” she shouted.
“Because that baby isn’t just yours, it’s ours,” I said. “We can do it; we can
raise that baby.”
“What makes you think that, Nate,” she asked practically crying. “We’re in
high school, we have no money, and your mom’s going to flip when she finds
out.”
“We’ll figure something out,” I said.
“No, we won’t figure anything out because there’s nothing to figure out,” she
replied. “I’m sorry, Nate, but there’s no way that I’m going to get fat and ugly
and lose you.
“Please, Brittney,” I begged her, but she just shook her head. I looked to Kate
for help.
“Give us a minute,” Kate told me nodding her head towards the door. I left the
room still freaking out over what Brittney had said about getting an abortion.

“Brittney, take a moment to really think about what you’re saying,” I told her.
“I’ve though about it, Kate,” she shouted hysterically at me.
“Well, what’s the real reason you want an abortion,” I asked her seriously.
“I don’t want Nate to leave me and make me a single parent,” Brittney sobbed.

“I don’t,” I admitted. “At least don’t get an abortion, there’s other options. If
you think that the baby will ruin yours and Nate’s relationship then you can
give it up for adoption. But this is something you really need to talk about
with Nate. He is the father, he should be able to state his opinion.”
“But he won’t want me anymore,” she said shakily. “I’ll get fat and won’t be
able to do anything fun over the summer.”
“He won’t care,” I told her. “Again, he really does love you too much.”
“I think that I should talk to him about this,” Brittney said trying to stop the
tears from escaping her eyes.
“I think that’s the best idea,” I said. “i think that I’ll take Christian and we’ll
go back to my house. You can call me whenever if you need or want to talk to
me. Stay strong, I love you.” I gave her a hug before I left Nate’s room. I found
