"Why the hell didnt you tell me?" screamed Ken Kieran, one of the countrys leading neurologists.
"Im so…so.. sorry Ken, I just… just was so scared."
"I want you out of this house, right now, I dont ever want to see you again and dont even think of giving the brat my name, the name I have worked frickkin hard to establish in the damn medical community, dont you dare give some fuckin bastard my name."
"But… Ken you said you wanted a family someone to settle down with and grow… old together."
"Fat chance of that happening with you, what with that damn stuttering and the meds, youll be dead in six months, a year tops. You were just a fling, get over yourself and GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
"Please Ken… I… I… have no where to go, and the baby…" the young women stared longing at the figure before her.
"You should have thought about that before, now get out."
"Please.." She got no further as he grabbed her wrist, pulled her to her feet, dragged her across the room, opened the front door and pushed her roughly onto the front step.
"Dont ever contact me again, do you understand?"
Laura Taln was left shivering on the porch, at 25 she was all alone in the world and about to have a baby.
