Just one week ago, I learned that my highschool sweatheart got pregnant. I couldn’t help it but feel bad for her. “To think she isn’t even married. It sucks she has to be a single mom. If she had stayed with me, her life would be a lot different” I thought. We broke up because we wanted different things in life. Still, I hoped sooner or later we would end up back together, but that day never came.
I never expected to receive a message from her, but one month ago she texted me. “Hey John, I really miss you. Do you think we could pick up where we were?”. As much as I liked her, the fact she was pregnant was a bummer, so I don’t think we should be together anymore. I wrote her back “It is great to hear from you Kat. But I don’t think it is a good idea for us to get back together. I am sure the father of your child wouldn’t want you dating someone else”.
It took nearly half an hour for her to answer: “I was hoping you could look past that. I really wanted to be with you as a couple. But you leave me no choice”. “Wait, is she threatening me?” I thought. I felt something weird in my stomach, like I had eaten lots of spicy food. I ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. I swear I felt really ill. I don’t know what was happening, but my stomach started to look swollen. “what the hell did I eat?” I asked myself. I saw a strand of hair between my eyes, without giving it much thought, I pushed to the back of my head. I looked down again, and my chest looked swollen too. I felt something even weirder between my legs, some kind of emptyness.
The pain subsided. I stood up, and washed my hands, it was right then that I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked like a pregnant woman. I was scared, I was about to scream, when I felt a kick inside my belly. “There’s really a baby inside of me?” I placed my hand over my pregnant belly, and felt a kick again. I giggled. It was then, when I felt something change inside my mind. I looked at my phone, and I had a text from an old highschool friend. “Katie, It is awesome to hear from you after all this years. And guess what, I am pregnat too” I wrote back and sent her a picture of myself.
I still couldn’t believe I was pregnant and looked so hot. “It sure feels great to know an old friend is going through the same thing that I am. As you know, I am about to become a single mom myself” she texted me. I smiled, later that day we met at the mall. We have been best friends since that day. She is having a baby boy, and I am expecting a baby girl. And what are the odds? We have our due date scheduled for the same day!
