At My Door

Chapter Eighteen- Rainy Saturdays





Shelby woke early the next morning, it was a Saturday, nothing had to be done. Morgan was still sick, and Scott didn't have work. She saw on the windowsill, staring through the raindrops at the crowded city below.

" Hey" Scott's voice startled her, he sat down next to her.

She looked outside again, " hi".

He sat opposite of her, making it easy to see her facial expressions, " is everything okay?".

Shelby answered with a , " no".

Scott sighed, " well, we've been sharing secrets and problems since we were sixteen, is there a reason we have to stop now?".

" Yes" she muttered, " this one could lead to a serious fight".

" That sounds bad".

There was no better time than the present, she couldn't hide it for much longer, " I'm pregnant".

Scott paused, " I know".

Shelby looked up, " what? How could you possibly know? God, I can't believe Daisy did this!".

" Morgan, actually. When I went to tuck her in last night, she asked what it meant, I took a guess".

She glanced down at her knees, " oh".

" Why would this lead to a fight?" Scott asked.

" I'm two months, the day of conception is the day I was rapped, and we were together earlier that morning. Scott, I don't know if you're the father" he could tell it took a lot out of her, but she still continued, wanting to get it all out in one shot, " there's a test, the doctor said she could so it for paternity before the baby's born, but, I-I don't know".

There was a long moment of silence before Scott could say anything, " what do you want to do?".

Shelby fought back tear drops in her eyes, " I don't think it's worth the risk of it not being ours" it only meant one thing, " I think I should have an abortion".

Disagreeing would make her hurt more, but agreeing meant her life could take another path, like starting over.

" Alright".
