She waited in the hospital waiting room.She had just seen a doctor and had
got blood taken.When the doctor called Lucy into his office he confirmed
her worst fear.She was pregnant.But that wasn't all.It would have been hard
to see anything at one month, but Lucy would be considered a special
pregnancy.In eight months she would have 4 babies.She was pregnant with
quadrooplets.After receiving vitamins and pamplets she got into her car.She
drove to a park and sat in the car and cried.She would have to visit the
doctor every 2 weeks since she having quadrooplets.She had made another
appointment for the following second Saturday with her doctor who
coincidentally was her uncle.He promised her wouldn't tell her parents or
anyone else but advised her to tell them.First she had to tell Jeremey.Of
course he was the father, she had only ever slept with him.She was
terrified though.She knew he was a good person but how would he react to
being a father.Especially one to four kids.Many men left their girlfriends
when they found out that they were pregnant.She just prayed that Jeremey
would be different.And what would her parents say.After all the sex talks
they had with her.They would go crazy.They might kick her out.She wouldn't
be able to support herself and one baby let alone four.She spent the rest
of the afternoon watching people at the park and thought how her life was
over.She had made the biggest mistake of all, her life was now ruined.
No matter how nervous she was she had to tell Jeremey.He was working tonight so she made plans with him to meet her at the promenade tomorrow.So tomorrow after church at 1 oclock she met Jeremey at Pete's pizza.They ate lunch and then decided to go for a walk.They ended up at the duckpond.They sat down on a bench."I need to tell you something"Lucy said looking straight into Jeremeys eyes."Ok.Good or bad?"Jeremey said as he grabbed Lucy's hands into his."Umm well, it depends on how you look at it.I don't think it's very good for right now"Lucy said."Ok...Just tell me"Jeremey said starting to get nervous as Lucy had said it wasn't a good thing.He gave her a reassuring smile.He just hoped that she wasn't breaking up with him."Ok, well you know how I haven't been feeling well lately" "Yah" Jeremeys voice quivered as he now feared Lucy was really sick."Well yesterday I went to the doctors to see what was wrong." "And" Jeremey said. " Wellllll...Ok I'll just say it.I'm pregnant.'Lucy spit out.Jeremey just stared at her in silence for what seemed to be an eternity.Lucy started to get terrified fearing that he would leave her there to raise 4 kids." "Well, I don't know what to say.Wow."Jeremey said in a shocked manner."Not wow.Bad, really bad.And that's not all.Lucy said."Don't tell me it's not mine"Jeremey said in a hurt voice."No, it's deffinatley yours.I've never been with anyone else.Jeremey sighed a sigh of relief."Ok, so what else did you want to tell me?Whatever it is I'm ready". "Ok, umm well come September, that is if things go alright, we'll have quadrooplets.Which is four babies" Lucy blurted out.Jeremey just sunk into the bench in shock.He started to zone out when he sat up.He kissed Lucy tenderly for a long time and then grabbed her hands and stared into her eyes."Lucy, I love you more than I have ever loved anyone ever before.I know this isn't what we expected but it happened for a reason and I want to have these babies with you and be a family.I will be with you every step of the way and I'll never leave you.I'll work really hard and save and we'll have to make it work because there's nothing else we can do.Lucy just stared into Jeremey's chocolate brown eyes.He was taking it really well.He was actually starting to smile."I can't believe we're having a baby , I mean babies together" Jeremey said as he hugged Lucy and picked her up and lightly spun her around."You're taking this surprisingly well.And what you said I mean, it sounds great, but lots of guys say that but in only a matter of weeks they're never seen again.And we're only 17.I don't think we're ready to be parents.I was thinking adoption or maybe aborion."Lucy said trying not to crash Jeremey's two minute dream."No way we can't put these kids up for adoption they're ours and you deffinatley can't get an abortion.Sorry I didn't mean to yell but what I said is the truth.I've never lied to you before and I'm not going to start.I'll be here for you every step of the way. "Jeremey, this is serious.This is the lives of four people we're talking about.Not to mention both of our lives.We're making a life long committment."Lucy said."I know and I am deffinatley willing to commit. I've loved you since the day we met.I can still become a carpenter and make the money until the babies are old enough that you can work or go to school.Please.Don't you love me?I want to be together and have these babies together."Jeremey pleaded."Hah, school.I won't be going to school, I most likely won't even be able to finish highschool let alone college or university.And of course I love you.I know we were planning on staying together after highschool but this is like a thing when you don't get to be with anyone else.This is like a marriage committment.Do you understand?"Lucy said."Of course I understand.It's funny that you mention marriage because that was exactly what I was thinking.We love each other, we're going to have these kids together, well hopefully, and you will finish highschool.Together I know we can do it.Even before I found out about this I wanted to marry you."Jeremey stared at Lucy hoping she would agree with him."Jeremey, I understand where you're coming from.I mean I would never want to put any of my children up for adoption or get an abortion but this isn't what I was hoping for.I was hoping to have kids after I had a job and was married.I do love you though and I can see a future with us.I'm not saying I'll never want to have kids.Just wait a bit." "Life is crazy.That's what's great about it, you never know what will happen and you have to go with the flow and deal with what you get.How many people get quadrooplets.This is a miracle. God wanted us to have these babies or he wouldn't have given them to us.He knows that we can make it work.Lucy please!"Lucy looked at Jeremey the man she loved.She did want to marry him and what he said about life made sense.You don't always get what you want.She thought carefully what this decision would do.It would change her life forever and there would be no going back.But she knew Jeremey and she knew he was a good person.If he took it this good just finding out he would only get better over time.With a sigh she smiled.She couldn't believe she was doing this.Something this big seemed right, perfect."I can't believe I'm doing this but ok."Lucy said starting to smile."Ok!?Ok!?Jeremey practically jumped off of the bench crying with happiness.He kissed Lucy again then looked down at her stomach and kissed it too, four times."I love you more than anything and I want to be with you forever and have a family and a marriage and everything"Jeremey cried.Somehow Lucy didn't regret her decision.She felt that with Jeremey with her, everything would be okay.
