Lu stared at the girl with shocked eyes. She was strongly at a loss for words to fit the situation. She didn't know if she should hug Jamie or slap her. Lu knew better than anybody what it was like to be 16 and pregnant. She also knew what it was like to be a single parent.

"Lu! Please say something!" Jamie begged.

"Get dressed"

"What? Why?"

"Your going to the clinic with me just to make sure then if you are really and truly pregnant if the test comes back also positive then we will work our way up from there. "

"Lu I don't want….."

"(Cutting Jamie off) I don't care we need to make sure the test is accurate and if it is we need to make the appropriate actions. Your doing no good to that baby trying to deny medical help."

Jamie reluctantly did what she was told. She pulled on her LEI jeans and a white LEI tank top and white LEI pull over hoodie. She put on her white LEI socks and white LEI shoes.

They drove to the clinic in stone silence. When they got to the clinic Lu told Jamie to wait in her office while she went and talked to Lana.

"What's on the agenda for today Lana?"

"Well you don't have any patients until after lunch. So unless there are walk ins or if ER calls you your free."

"Thanks Lana"

Lu starts walking back to her office when….

"Oh! And Lu? Come here I almost forgot…" Lana called after her

"Forgot what?"

"Judge Trinity called about ½ hour ago. She brought these papers for you." Lana hands Lu a thick Manuela envelope "She says that you have a good case and to report to her office 1st thing in the morning." Lana finished

The news brightened Lu up. She had talked to Judge Trinity last week about adopting the children. Jamie had said she would love to live with Lu, and that she thought it was a great opportunity for the children who had already begun to call Lu mommy.

Lu walked into her office and administered the test on Jamie. 30 minutes later the results were in and Lu walked back into her office with a sad smile on her face.

"Well?"

"Well your pregnant"

"W-What?" Jamie's whole body was trembling with fear and she couldn't control herself any longer.

"Lu I want an abortion and I want an abortion NOW!" Jamie screamed at Lu as tears rolled down her face like a summer storm.

"No!"

"Lu! I can't care for another child! Its unreal! I already have my little sisters to care for! I can't care for them as it is! I cant give them everything they need and want! I cant go to school and be pregnant and take care of my sisters too!" She yelled the tears were still streaming down her pretty face.

"I'm not letting you get an abortion and besides it is illegal for a minor to get an abortion with out legal parent or gardian consent. You had sex and now you will have to face the consequences. U live with me. I can help you. Your little sisters are fine. Their adjusting well I just want you to worry about you....and that little baby inside of you." Lu told the frightened girl calmly

"Lu I don't want to ! I don't want it! Lu! I want it ended now!"

Dana peeped her head into Lu's office

"Is there a problem in here? I can hear you all the way down the hall in my office. " Dana is a patient woman but when she is trying to work she doesn't like to be disturbed. But she also believes that everything has a logical explanation and a reason.

"No everything's not OK!" Jamie said as she started to sob

"And why not sweetie?"

"Because I'm pregnant and Lu won't give me an abortion." Jamie choked at Dana. The tears still streaming down her face.

"Well if Lu doesn't see fit to perform an abortion then I don't see why I couldn't give you the papers and all to go through and see if that doesn't make your decision easier. I could give you some papers of some places that could help you. But you still need consent form your legal parent or whoever takes care of you."

"Dana can I talk to you in the break room please?"

"Sure"

Lu pulled Dana to the break room in record time nearly pulling Dana's arm out the socket.

"She is not getting an abortion and that's final"

"Why not if she can't care for the baby then…"

"Because it is immporal and insane. If we gave an abortion to every teen in the world who got pregnant there would be more deaths then births.!" Lu's beautiful face was flushed and streaked with hot burning tears. She knew she was about to scream at Dana. She bit her toung trough and waited for Dana to reply.
