After spending the whole day with Jenna shopping, I come back to the house, slipping through the door knowing Corey wouldn’t be home. Which was great, no way could I pee on this stick with him in a room nearby.

I slipped off my sandals, put the bags on the table, and looked at the Walgreens bag that contains the answer to my future. It was like a fortuneteller. Except I had to pee on it to get the answer I needed. Sigh. Just get it done and over with, I tell myself.

I pull the test from the bag and walk to the bathroom. How bad could it be? It would either say pregnant or not pregnant. I go in, do my business, and set the stick on the counter. The three-minute wait time is the longest three minutes of my life.

I look all over the bathroom, anywhere but at that damn test. Then, the second three minutes passes, my gaze slides over the test. The word ‘PREGNANT’ blinks back at me in the little box. I stare at the screen a moment longer than needed, suddenly finding myself sinking to the floor. There was no fucking way I could do this alone.

I grab my phone and text Jenna telling her the news. My head is spinning. How am I going to tell him? How am I going to tell my parents? I’m only nineteen. I can’t have a baby. Abortion and adoption aren’t answers for me, though. I could never follow through with either of those options.

My phone starts ringing. I look down at it frazzled, noticing Jenna’s name on the caller ID. So, I hit the answer key.

“You’re kidding, right?” she huffs into the phone. I can hardly comprehend what she’s saying. I’m pregnant. I’m fucking pregnant and I’m going to be alone and I…

“I can’t do this, Jenna… I have no one. Corey won’t be able to do this… he can’t handle it…hell, we can’t even handle each other. We’re not stable enough to do this, Jenna,” I say panicked. What am I going to do? I don’t even have a job. I don’t even… I’m just a fucking college student.

“Just breathe for a second. You haven’t even told him or talked to him about it. Who knows what he might think.” Jenna talks about Corey like she really knows him, and honestly, she doesn’t—at least, not like I do.

“You don’t understand. He doesn’t want a baby—” She cuts me off before I can finish.

“It doesn’t matter if he wants a baby. There is one, which means buck up or get the fuck out. You’re having a baby, and if he wants to keep his balls, he’s going to need to step up.”

I stare off blankly into space, hearing her words but not taking note of them. I’m scared and alone, and I don’t know if I can do this right now.

“He has a right to know, Mimi, and you’re going to tell him.” Her demanding voice echoes through my mind.
