It was a new day in Middleton, and Kim was on her way to Club Banana to work. Today she felt very tired and nauseous because of the pregnancy. Kim hoped she wouldn't throw up at work. She was thinking a lot of keeping the baby or not. She had to decide soon if she wants to keep it or not, or it will be too late to get an abortion. She was going to call the hospital today in her break to ask for an ultrasound, to see if there are a baby in her stomach.
Kim just arrived at Middleton Mall and walked in to Club Banana. She saw Monique was standing behind the counter, she smiled as she walked up to her. "Hello, Monique." Kim greeted.
"Hey, girl. How are you today?" Monique asked.
"Tired and nauseous. I've been nauseous all morning." Kim complained.
"Because of the pregnancy, right?" Monique asked.
"That's right." Kim said and nodded.
"So have you decided if you want to keep it?" Monique asked, while looking down on her stomach.
Kim rolled her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. She was so tired of that question right now. Why couldn't everybody just shut up about the baby question for one day? "I'm still thinking about it. So please just stop asking." Kim said irritated.
"Sorry, I was just asking." Monique said.
"Then don't ask. And it doesn't help very much when everybody keeps asking me if I want to keep it or not." Kim said irritated, folding her hands.
"Everybody? Is just me and Ron that knows about your pregnancy." Monique said.
Kim shook her head. "No, Ron's mom knows." Kim told her. "She found out about it because she had notices how big my appetite has been lately, and she have heard me throwing up in the morning."
"She has? How did she react?" Monique asked.
"She is very disappointment at us. And she wants me to get an abortion, because I'm too young." Kim said
Monique was about to say something when she got interrupted by a customer who walked up to the counter to pay for the clothes she came with. Kim decided to go and fold some clothes when she saw a woman with a stroller in the store looking around. Kim walked up to her. "Do you need any help?" Kim asked.
The woman looked at her. "No thanks, I'm just looking." She said.
Kim nodded at her and looked inside the stroller and saw a sleeping baby. "What a cute baby you have." Kim said as she looked at the baby.
"Thank you" The woman smiled.
"How old is it?" Kim asked out of curiosity
"He's two weeks old." The woman answered.
"Congratulations." Kim said.
"Thanks. Do you have kids?" The woman asked.
Kim jumped a little by that question. What was she supposed to answer to that? "Uhm, no." Kim told her and just looked at the baby.
"Well, you should look forward to the day you get pregnant and gives birth. It's like the best thing ever." The woman told her, with a big smile on her face. "Anyway, I have to get going."
Kim looked at the woman walked out of the store. She thought about what the woman told her. "The best thing ever?" Kim said to herself, while touching her stomach. When she saw that newborn baby made her want to keep her unborn baby. Maybe keeping the baby wasn't a bad idea? She turned around and saw Monique standing behind her with a smirk on her face.
"What?" Kim asked, and walked up to the counter.
"Girl, I heard the whole conversation." Monique said with excitement in her voice and leaned over the counter.
"I'm going to keep the baby" Kim whispered as she looked down on her feet
"Say what?" Monique asked
"I'm keeping the baby." Kim said with a big smile on her face.
"Wait, what? Are you serious? You said like five minutes ago that you weren't sure?" Monique asked with a confused look.
Kim shook her head. "Yes, i'm serious. That woman's baby made me change my mind. I've been holding it back because I was scared to admit it to myself. I know that I want this baby, it deserves to have a life. And if I get an abortion I would never forgive myself. I'm not a person like that." Kim told her
"Wow Kim. That was so touching." Monique said as she teared up.
"Thanks, I guess." Kim shrugged.
Monique pulled Kim in to a hug. "I'm so happy for you that took the right choice" She said.
"Yeah, me too." Kim said, and pulled away from the hug. "But if you excuse me I have to throw up." Kim said as she covered her mouth with her hand and ran to the staff bathroom.
After a long day of work, Kim was on her way home. During her break she called the hospital and asked for an ultrasound, and she got an appointment tomorrow. She was so excited she couldn't wait to se her baby. She had finally decided to keep the baby after she talked to a woman with a baby in the store.
Kim arrived at the Stoppable house, she walked in to the house. She felt she was a little hungry and decided to get some food at the kitchen. Kim walked in to the kitchen and she got caught with a surprise when she saw who was sitting at the kitchen table with Mrs Stoppable. Her mom. They were drinking coffee together What was she doing here? Did Mrs. Stoppable tell her about the pregnancy?
"Hi, mom." Kim said nervously.
"Hi, Kimmie." Mrs Possible greeted and got up and hugged Kim.
"What are you doing here?" Kim asked
"Can't a mom visit her own daughter?" Mrs Possible said, folding her hands.
"Of course you can." Kim said.
"Mrs. Stoppable told me that you wanted to tell me something." Mrs Possible said as she looked at Kim with a curious face.
"No, I didn't" Kim whispered behind her breath.
"What?" Mrs Possible asked.
"Nothing." Kim said, and took a big breath. "Fine I'll tell you, but I think you should sit down for this."
Mrs Possible looked confused at Kim and then looked over at Mrs Stoppable who just nodded at her. She did as she was told and sat down on a chair. Kim sat down on a chair too.
"Please don't be angry, but I'm pregnant." Kim admitted to her mother.
Mrs Possible just sat there and looked at Kim, she let out a sigh and shook her head. "Kim are you really sure that you are pregnant?" Mrs. Possible asked.
"Yes, I took a pregnancy test a few days ago and it was positive. And I have the symptoms for it." Kim said.
"And what are you going to do?" Mrs. Possible asked.
"I'm keeping it." Kim said as she looked at her mom and Mrs. Stoppable.
"WHAT!?" Mrs. Possible and Mrs, Stoppable said at the same time.
"Yesterday, you told me you weren't sure. And today you suddenly changed your mind?" Mrs Stoppable asked and looked confused at Kim.
"I made up my mind, I realized that I want this baby. And there is nothing you two can do to change my mind." Kim said determined, folding her arms.
"But Kim. Are you really sure you want this? You are young, and it is a huge responsibility." Mrs. Possible said.
"Yes, I'm sure." Kim nodded.
"But what about college?" Mrs. Possible asked.
"I'm going to cancel my college application." Kim told her.
"I thought you were smarter than that, Kim." Mrs. Possible said with a disappointed look on her face. "I can't believe that you would choose a baby over college."
"I'm going to attend college again in a few years." Kim said.
"Your dad is going to get furious at you." Mrs. Possible said with anger in her voice. "He's not going to accept this."
"I know that neither of you two are accepting this. I'm eighteen years old, and me and Ron can take care of a baby by our self. Remember I used to babysit. I'm going to look for an apartment with Ron, so we can move out." Kim said angrily.
"Fine, Kim. You win. But you have to talk about your dad about this." Mrs Possible said.
"And my husband has to know about this too." Mrs Stoppable said.
"That's fine by me. What if you and dad come over tomorrow, and then we talk?" Kim suggested. "But mom please don't tell dad when you get back to the hotel, I want to tell him by myself."
"Fine." Mrs Possible said and got up from the chair and looked at Mrs Stoppable. "Well Mrs Stoppable thank you for the coffee. I have to get going. See you again tomorrow."
"Yes, see you tomorrow." Mrs Stoppable said.
"So, Kim. Care to walk me out." Mrs Possible said.
Kim nodded and walked her mother outside. Kim could see her mom was disappointed in her. "Are you angry?" Kim asked.
"No, I'm just a little disappointed in you two. But if you want to keep this baby I won't stand in your way. I know you can handle this. But I thought you would finish college first and then start a family." Mrs Possible said
"I know, but it's my choice." Kim said.
"I just can't believe that my daughter is growing up." Mrs. Possible said and pulled Kim in to a hug. "I just have to try and accept this."
"Yeah, you should." Kim said as she pulled away from the hug.
"Well, I see you tomorrow." Mrs. Possible said and left.
Kim nodded, and watched her mom leave. She wondered how her dad would react to all of this. Would he be happy or angry? Send Ron with a one way ticked into a black hole? But the only thing she looked forward to tomorrow was the ultrasound. And she couldn't wait to tell Ron that she was keeping the baby.
