Chapter 10: Leah

I sat in the third row of Trinity Chapel counting down the minutes until service was over. The pastor was preaching something about Joseph but I was clueless to what he was saying. I felt self-conscious with all of the people around. I was supposed to be on bed rest, however, my mom checked my blood pressure when she came home from dinner and decided I was well enough to make the five-minute car ride to Trinity Chapel.

Thirty more minutes. I glanced at my phone for the fourth time in the past three minutes. I was all for church but I felt like a heathen. My pregnancy went against everything Trinity Chapel stood for. The fact that it’s been two months since I have been to church may have played a role in the scowls and mugs I was getting.

Two months ago, I wasn’t showing. I was still able to hide my stomach. Now my baby was on display for the whole congregation. The long sleeved brown sweater dress did nothing to hide my bump. The dress had always been too big on me but today it fit me a little too tight. My boobs were almost popping out and my butt was well on display for all the churchgoers to see. I wore black sheer tights and bronze ankle booties with a three-inch heel. My mom begged me to wear my hair out and it flowed well past my shoulders.

From everyone’s reaction, I was sure our membership was going to be revoked. A few girls from our teen ministry gave me the stank face. Between them and all of my parents’ church friends, I was ready to have Jade come from wherever the hell she was and take me home. I was going to lose it if one more person came up to me and rubbed my belly with a frown on their face.

“You okay, honey?” my dad whispered. I placed my phone back in my clutch.

“I’m fine, Daddy.” I gave him a fake smile.

“Has your sister called you?” he asked in a low voice. My dad looked slightly concerned. He was well aware of Jade’s behavior. The fact that she ignored all of our calls this morning said it all.

“Umm, no. I'm sure she is fine though” I responded quickly.

The next thirty minutes were the longest of my life. I was more than ready to go home when the pastor closed his sermon with a prayer. My stomach growled and my bladder throbbed at the same time.

“Daddy, I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll meet you guys at the car.”

My dad was too focused on catching up with his phony church friends to acknowledge me. My mom was right by him playing the role of doting wife, a trophy on her husband’s arm. I wasted no time hauling my butt to the bathroom. The stares and murmurs from the congregation made me so nervous that I could have peed myself. The fact that my round belly sat on my bladder did not help.
