“So you really applied for that temp job, and my girl got it, too. Gon’ with your bad self,” he teased, before changing his voice to a more seductive tone. “When are you coming back? I miss you.”
I started pacing. “I don’t know. Troy, I’m late.”
“Late for what?”
“You know. Late. I think I might be pregnant.”
“Oh,” he said nonchalantly. “So, do you need some money to take care of it?”
“Troy, I’m not going to have an abortion,” I said, making my way to the bathroom.
“You have to, Chris, because I’m not going to have any kids right now.”
“Don’t worry,” I assured him. “If I am pregnant, I’ll either keep and raise the baby myself or place it up for adoption.”
“Well, don’t count on me for any of that daddy stuff.”
“I didn’t plan to.” I began to run my shower water.
“So you think you can raise a kid alone? You don’t know what you’re letting yourself in for.”
His comment stung. As much as I hated to admit it, I knew he was right. I couldn’t raise a kid all by myself, without a daddy figure. I couldn’t support my baby. Heck, I could barely even support myself, but he didn’t need to know that.
“Guess I’ll find out, won’t I?” I replied with an attitude.
“Hey, you said you weren’t sure, right? Maybe you’re stressing for nothing.”
“I’m hoping I can confirm one way or the other sometime today.”
“Well, call me back when you know.”
I hung up without saying good-bye. Maybe I’d get back to him when I knew, maybe I wouldn’t. In a way, I was hoping Troy would be more supportive. I didn’t understand it: Troy could lie down with me in a bedroom, but couldn’t stand up, be a man, and take care of his responsibility. One thing was for sure: I wasn’t about to abort my baby.
Later that morning, Sebastian and I found ourselves at a Planned Parenthood office in Gwinnett County, Georgia. It meant a lot, having his support. We clutched hands in the waiting area. He kept smiling as if everything was going to be all right.
“You didn’t have to come,” I told him as we sat in the lobby awaiting the results of my pregnancy test.
“True friends don’t abandon each other,” he said. He took my sweaty hand. “Can I pray for you?”
I shrugged. “Yeah, sure.”
He closed his eyes. “Heavenly Father, I come to You right now, asking forgiveness for past sins. Comfort Christian and let her know You love her.”
I was comforted by Sebastian’s prayer and presence. I got up and thumbed through magazines I had no interest in. The wait for my results seemed endless.
