To Wish Impossible Things
Encounter with reality and E-Mails
Sandy's POV:"What am I going to do? I've done so much wrong in my life and just when things were getting back on track again, I have to deal with this. Why can't my life be simple? I can never just move on: something is always impeding me. I can't believe I did this to myself- what made me want to do this again? I just crushed my big dreams as well as an innocent boys- well that is if he accepts responsibility. So where do I go from here? What do I do?
Sandy's E-Mail to Lucy (she knows Lucy because she used to mentor Sandy when she had problems with her mother and father):
Dear Rev. Kinkerk,
Lucy- I've done something extremely bad and I don't know what to do from here. I'm pregnant. I'm a twenty-one year old who was impregnated by a helpless 18 year adolescent. I can't believe I got myself into this situation. I need help and I don't have anyone else to rely on other than you and your brother. I would also say your soon to be sister in law but she's not really the helping hand type. I haven't told Martin about this yet but I don't know if I want to tell him. He's a high school senior and I've heard what he wants to do in life- and I don't want to ruin that for him. I plan on bringing this baby out to term and I want to keep it but my current financial situation isn't so great. Please Lucy. Please, please help me because right now, I am lost.

Lucy's E-Mail to Sandy:
Dear Sandy,
Don't worry. I'm here for you and I am going to help you every step of the way. Now you must be certain that this is Martin's Brewer's child. What I first recommend you to do is tell Martin if you are 100 positive it's his. He needs to know about this. This is his child- it's his flesh blood and bone. That child is his as much as it is yours and he has as much responsibility to that baby as much as you do. Second, contact your parents and tell them how you are doing. I am not telling you to ask for money or anything- but just give a phone call explaining how you're doing. And thirdly- I need to know who else knows about this and if you are willing to let anyone else know. I am certain that my father would be happy to help you as well. And lastly- don't worry- everything's going to be all right.
Lucy
Sandy's E-Mail back to Lucy:
Dear Lucy,
Thank you so much. I am so glad that I have some one like you. It means so much to me. I am going to do what you told me. I already gave my mom a quick call but she didn't have anything to say. She said that she nor her husband don't give a rat's ass about me. As for my paternal father, he wasn't there- just as I had expected. I am absolutely certain that Martin is the father- I stopped sleeping around and he was my first after 6 months. We were completely unprotected as well. I'm going to tell Martin next week. I was going to ask Simon if he could bring me down here next weekend so I can talk to Martin and talk to you and your Dad personally. So far the only people who know are you, Simon, Rose, and my parents. Once again, thank you so much Lucy.
Sandy
