Ch.38

Allie was 4 months pregnant now and getting bigger by the month. She actually ended up taking a year off after all to have her baby but told her mom it was to just take a break from school and all. But was still miserable without Shayne.

When her mom would question her about her gained weight, Allie would just say that she was getting fatter because of all the junk food she would eat, plus wearing baggier clothes helped too.

Finally Allie couldn't hide it anymore, she had to tell her mother that she wasn't getting fat because of the junk food she would eat but because she was having a baby.

Ms. Carter had arrived at home at around 6:30 one night.

"Hey mom" Allie said cheerfully.

"Hey sweetie, how was your day?" Ms. Carter asked as she placed her purse, portfolio and keys on the little table that was next to door.

"Pretty boring as usual until me and Chloe decided to go out for lunch"

"Well that's good"

"How was your day?" Allie asked as she followed her mom to her room.

"Oh a bit tiring" Ms. Carter said while removing her shoes then earnings. "but pretty good too, I got some good deals for the business which will definitely help us out a lot"

"That's great" … "Mom, I need to tell you something."

"What is it Allie?" Ms. Carter said sitting down on her bed next to Allison.

"Mom, I don't know how you're going to take this, I myself, am still a bit unsure about it but…"

"But what Allison?" Ms. Carter asked getting worried.

"Mom, I'm pregnant" Allie said as she closed her eyes and looked away.

Ms. Carter was shocked. She sat there quietly not saying a word for a few seconds, not knowing how to take this life changing news she just received.

Allie looked back at her mom.. "Mom, did u hear me?"

"Yes, Allison I heard you… how could you get pregnant?!" her mom yelled. "You're only 19! You're still a child yourself! Is it Shayne's?! Oh, I'm sure that bastard got you pregnant then left you which is why you two don't see each other anymore right?!" Ms. Carter had said all too fast for Allie to get a word in after each question.

"No! Mom no! listen to me! I know I'm too young but it happened, and no Shayne didn't get me pregnant and leave me, I left him! And he doesn't even know I'm pregnant." Allie answered back beginning to cry. "Mom, I know I'm too young and neither of us ever planned or thought I would get pregnant at 19 but I am Mom, and I'm going to have my baby and keep it, I'll get a job and do whatever I have to do to support me and my baby."

Ms. Carter began to calm down. Though she felt pain and disappointment she admired the fact that her daughter didn't take the easy way out and abort her child. Instead she planned on working to support herself and her baby to be.

"Allison, how could this happen? What do u mean you left Shayne and he doesn't know? It is his right?"

"Yes, mom it's Shayne's baby too"

Allie told her mom everything that had happened which her mom didn't know about. They spent the rest of the night talking about everything.
