Chapter 31
.
Willow and Bianca talked for hours while Erica was away. The talk inevitably came back to Bianca's family, Erica and Kendall. Bianca understood their issues. She couldn't really blame Erica, entirely. She had been molested on her 14th birthday, Kendall was the result of that. Bianca wondered, if she had this baby, would she also end up hating it, would it end up hating her, dealing with the same pain as Kendall? And yet, for all of their issues, Bianca knew that if Kendall had never been born, there would just be an empty hole in Bianca's life that she wouldn't even know how to fill. But there was also the issue of Michael Cambias and that frat. They likely had no idea that Bianca was pregnant, they thought they'd ereased all evidence of their crime. The other girls, they could claim sex was consensual, but Bianca had a well-established reputation for only liking girls. What would these powerful punks do if they thought there was physical evidence of their crime? Bianca found herself very frightened of them, to her uprise she realized she was also frightened for this baby. Erica had always tried to instill pro-choice values in Bianca, but when it came to her own pregnancy, Bianca couldn't even say the word "abortion" much less consider it. Bianca decided she would protect this baby. In the long run, that might include putting him or her up for adoption, just to keep it safe from those who would do that to a woman. Willow promised to stand by Bianca's side, no matter what.
