Chapter 4:
*No One' POV*
Mrs. Price takes her daughter to the hospital a week later. She has this feeling that it's going to go to be the worse. Pregnancy. Unfortunately, Elynn is fearing the worse as well.
Her head bows in sadness and being quiet, quieter than usual. Mrs. Price places a hand on her shoulder to have her look at her mother.
"Your father and I will find a way to help out," she says softy. "Don't think about money okay sweetie?"
Elynn wasn't so sure of what to think. If it's resulted into a pregnancy, her dreams will be on hold for who knows how long and she needs to find a way for money to raise the child. There's no way that she will be taking it up for adoption.
"Elynn Price," they called for her name.
Mrs. Price takes Elynn to the doctor's office and the usual routine of everything also with a pregnancy test. Soon later, once everything is done, the results came back in. The doctor came with papers and the result.
"Miss Elynn Price, you are indeed pregnant. It's still early in the pregnancy. I have papers of information of everything you will need to know. And there are contacts of doctors to go to."
"Okay thank you," Mrs. Price says to him, taking the papers.
He nods his head and leave them be.
"Mom," she looks to her scared.
"Whatever you choice, your father and I will be supportive no matter what," she smiles softly to her only child.
Along the way towards back home, Elynn looks through the papers and notice a contact. The contact for the abortion client, but I know for sure that abortions are illegal now. So that's completely out of the question. Also there's another for adoption which she refuses to look at.
Many things are running through her mind as she thinks of a way to do this.
"She's what?!" her father, Mr. Price, screams out of anger.
"She's pregnant by that Soc boy who raped her," Mrs. Price explains again, calmly. "Listen it is Elynn's decision of what she wants to do."
"With what money? Do you know how much raising a child is!"
Elynn zoomed out of her parents' rare fights and locks her up in her room. She didn't asked for this. Being raped by a Soc and becoming pregnant by him. Her body was waiting for Darry when they are married, but that dream is taken away.
The papers are in her hands as she sits down on her bed to look through them. Dollar signs appears in front of her eyes, but she's more mature than girls her age. When she was a little girl, her dad always tell her that if you want something in life you must work for it. Dancing is what she worked for because she wanted it, but there was that thought of being a wife and mother in the back of her head. Now the young sixteen year old will be getting one of the three dreams coming true.
That's when he mind tells her the new plan in life. She will get a job, apply for the education for pregnant teens in town. With the money she will be earning she will pay for the appointments and medical bills and in addition she save up money to raise her child.
"I'm going to be a mom," Elynn smiles big, finally accepting it.
Now she needs to tell Darry first before telling her parents. Hopefully he will help out.
Darry and Elynn are meeting each other a week later at their special spot. Nerves are going crazy as she gather the words. She is secretly hoping that he won't leave because of this pregnancy. They have only been together for a few months and this happens.
"Elynn," Darry says softly, joining with her on the bridge.
"Darrel," she says softly as well, taking the larger man's hands in her smaller hands. "Do you remember the Soc that did…..things to me?" she asked, feeling her hands being squeezed.
"Yes I remember that jerk."
"He did more than just that." Elynn is feeling scared as Darry looks at her concerned and worried of what's next. "Darrel I'm pregnant," she manages to say.
Silence covers them as Elynn begins to think that he's going to leave her, but Darry did something unexpected. He kisses her lovely before kneeling down to kiss her tummy saying, "I may not be your real father, I am going to be your daddy."
This brings a tear in her eye, knowing that he will never leave her.
