Kate wiped her eyes on some toilet tissue. This could not be happening, she can't be 3 months pregnant. All this time she had put everything down to the impact Paul's death had. Her change of apetite and shape. She sighed. If only she had gone in for that pregnancy test all those weeks ago. Instead of stepping out and buying the cheapest pregnancy test she could with the change in her purse. She ran her hands over her stomach. She was moderatly pro choice, but on the whole disagreed to Abortion, it was only acceptable, to her, in extreme circumstances.
And however much she tried to convince herself; this wasn't one of them. Plus whenever she thought about it she felt sick and ran a hand absent-mindedly over her stomach.
It was CJ who had been noticing this over the two weeks after Kate found out she was pregnant. It was on the rare times that when Kate had the morning off work and the kids were at school when CJ comnfronted her.
"Theres something different about you Aunt Kate"
Kate ran a hand over her round stomach again, she was now 4 months pregnant, and her time when she was legally able to get an Abortion was running out.
"No there isn't"
"There is, when you think no-one is looking you go all misty eyes, and slowly stroke your stomach and then you sigh very slowly."
Kate sighed inadvertantly "What are you saying CJ?" she asked, worried
"I'm just saying. You're glowling"
Kate felt tears run down her face and nodded "I was stupid to think that i could keep this a secret. Ecspecially from you, you must be the most infuriatingly observant person I know. But I love you for it"
She held her arms out and gave CJ a hug "But I am so glad that you know that I'm pregnant."
"I'm here for you Aunt Kate." he looked at her for a while "What are you going to do then?"
"I don't know. I really don't"
What will she do????????? I know, and you will soon. I own nothing yada yada yada.
