Wow, chapter 8. Sweet. Review?

Chapter 8 -14 Weeks Pregnant, Abortion-

"I can't believe I have to do this!" I tried to keep calm, and not cry, but how could someone kill off their own baby?! It's like killing an innocent bunny rabbit for being alive!

"I'm really sorry, sweetie. Your father doesn't want you growing up, that's all."

"But I think it's my choice. A lot of other girls at 14 get to keep their baby, and I am 16!"

"Teddy, it will be okay, but first, they will have to do an ultrasound, okay?"

"Okay, but doesn't that mean I will get to hear my baby's heartbeat before they kill it?"

"Honey, yes, but it's your father's choice, he is still your legal guardian, so he'll make the choice."

"Yeah, but what about you? Didn't you at least TRY to step in and tell him no?" I was really worried at this point.

"Yes, but he would not let you, even though I tried everything. I'm sorry."

At the doctor, right before ultrasound-

"Okay, Teddy? You are getting an abortion? I thought when you came here when you were five weeks you seemed so excited." Now I was crying. Yep, crying my eyes out.

"Yes, but this was my dad's idea, and decision. Mom, do I really have to do this?"

"Yes sweetie, it has to be done. I am very sorry."

During ultrasound-

"Well, oh, oh no. Teddy, Amy, I am very sorry."

"What, what's the matter?" Mom sounded like she knew, but wasn't sure, I had no idea what they were talking about.

"What is the problem, doctor?" Now I sounded worried too.

"Well, there is- There is no, heartbeat, I'm very sorry, but you've had a miscarriage. I am sorry." When he said 'no' and 'heartbeat' and 'miscarriage' all in the same sentence, I knew what was happening, and now, I was almost screaming.

"W- what do you mean, 'no heartbeat'? My, my baby is, dead?"

"Yes, I am sorry."

On the way home

"Teddy? Do you want some ice cream?"

"No thank you. I am just really heart broken right now. Nothing will help right now."

"Well, if your dad asks, I'll talk to him. And I'll tell the boys to leave you alone. Okay?"

"Okay."

At home

"Hey! Are you, baby free? You'd better be. I-" Then mom cut him off.

"Bob, Teddy was baby free before she went to that appointment. She had a miscarriage. Be easy on her, okay?"

"Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't mean-" There she goes again.

"Bob, she doesn't want to talk about it."

"Okay. Well, I am heading off to work, you can take her to school."

"Okay, come on Teddy."`

"I can't show my face in school! I haven't even told Spence yet. Well that I WAS pregnant."

"Okay, but just today, and I want you to tell Spencer, okay? Today."

"Ugh, fine."

S- Yeah, but I am in free period. What's up?

T- I, um, well, uh, I. . . WAS. . . Um, pregnant. Was.
