Summer got in her red convertible and headed to the hospital in Houghton. If Summer went to her regular hospital everyone would soon know about her current condition. That's why she chose the one in Houghton. It was far enough away so no one would recognize her but close enough that she could get there pretty fast.
She was very nervous. But the appointment was just to confirm her pregnancy. Summer had always dreamed of being married and having her husband being by her side during the whole process. Too bad she was all alone without anyone she could talk to.
Marissa was gone for the summer and she decided to go without her cell phone. The most foolish thing ever--in Summer's opinion.
As she arrived at the small hospital, 25 minutes later, Summer walked up to the desk and told the woman all the information she asked for.
"Ok. Ms. Roberts. Have a seat and Dr. Morrison will see you when he's ready." The kind receptionist told Summer.
"Thanks." Now, Summer had a very hard time picking out an outfit to wear that morning.. She wanted to look older then she looked but she knew Dr. Morrison would see her age on the chart. She was wearing a pair of nice jeans, flats, and a pretty white blouse with flowers around the edges. Her hair was up in a nice pony tail. She hoped it did the trick.
Fiddling with her fingers, she jumped as the Doctor called her name.
"Summer Roberts. I'm ready." He greeted with a pleasant smile.
After she walked into the room she was asked to sit down on the table.
"Now, I'm just going to take a few tests and then you can be out of here."
"Sounds good." Summer was so nervous that every time the man spoke she jumped.
"Don't worry Summer. You don't have to be nervous. There's nothing to be scared about."
"Oh." Summer looked down at the ground as he began to do his routine.

Kirsten was driving herself nuts. She couldn't sleep because new ideas kept popping into her head. She was going to be a grandma. And Sandy was going to be a grandpa. And Seth was going to be a dad.
Kirsten kept thinking of new things that made her think of other things. She had hardly slept a wink in 2 days.
When she wasn't thinking of the baby details, her mind was focusing on Seth. The days were spent with the TV blaring with the news . She would call the whole family over to watch the Seth story go on again. Always the same details but in different words. Kirsten would always cry when she saw the clip of Summer. But Ryan had no idea why she did and would give Sandy a confused look.

30 minutes after Summer had taken the tests, the doctor appeared in the door with a smile on his face.
"Well, Summer, the results are in. You are indeed pregnant. Now I don't know if you wanted this or if this is a surprise to you. Considering your age and that you're still in high school, you still have many options. I'm putting some pamphlets of your options in this bag. You may take them home. Just remember, you can either have the baby, give it up for adoption, or you can have an abortion. It's your choice, but just consider everything before you make up your mind. Please consider talking to the baby's father before too."
After Dr. Morrison's long monologue, it hit Summer in the gut. She hadn't even thought of her choices. She knew she would never kill Seth's and her baby but adoption was another thing.
