I tilt my head to the side and examine my appearance in the full-length mirror while keeping my top pulled up to reveal my stomach. Although you can't tell that I'm pregnant just yet, my stomach, which used to be toned, appears to be permanently bloated now. I am making a face at myself in the mirror while rubbing and sticking out my stomach. No longer do I feel queasy in the mornings, and the exhaustion that I experienced during the first few weeks has completely disappeared. Something has significantly shifted within my body. Trying to picture what my appearance might be like in a couple of months' time. I let out a sigh as I tug my shirt closer to my chest, hoping no one could see my secret. As I examine my appearance in the mirror, a dull ache spreads throughout my chest. Under my shirt, there is a barely perceptible bump that I notice. In spite of the fact that I’m secretly hoping it’s not true and that it would vanish on its own, I have to face the facts. I am pregnant.

And now, looking In the mirror, I realize something. I realize that I am attached. Against my better judgment, I allowed myself to fall in love and, with it, build a fantasy world where Zak and I would be together forever, raising our child in bliss. But it’s all for naught, as the father of my unborn child has made it all too clear that we would never be a family. He told me explicitly that we would never be together. Just as I thought Zak and I were doing well, he decided to let me know that he would never be the one for me, crushing all my fanatical ideas about us being one happy family. I knew it was just a dream, but hearing him spell it out to me yesterday in the car felt like a punch in the gut. Rationally, I know Zak doesn't owe me anything; he has no idea about Baby, and he never promised to be my boyfriend or anything more than what he was. But still, it hurt to hear him say it. At that moment, my heart was shattered into a million tiny pieces, and despite my best efforts, it still hasn't recovered.

So, I gather my strength, determined to focus on the present and move away from my past. I would distance myself from Zak; no more beachside rendezvous. I’m certain that this summer, finishing the work on Zak’s house and working at my dad's house, is all I need to bring back the love and contentment I recently felt in my heart.

Furthermore, I’m set on a plan to return to California alone, settling down there and finishing my studies, all while raising my child alongside my best friend, Charlotte. We can co-raise as non-lesbian parents while I finish my degree part-time. It sounds easy enough – however, something tells me that climbing that mountain of responsibilities will be far from simple.
