1 Chapter 1

"Congratulations Ma'am, you're six weeks pregnant" Those were the words that forever changed my life, mostly for the worst.

I stared at the doctor that was sitting down opposite me, then I turned my gaze to my mother that was sitting beside me. Well at least it was a good thing that I wasn't the only one surprised.

I took a rather large intake of breath and spoke "Sorry doctor I didn't quite catch that, can you say it one more time"

"You're having a Baby Ma'ma" the doctor took his time in saying it the second time, so this time around I couldn't pretend I didn't hear what he had said.

"But that's impossible" I muttered in disbelieve. I didn't know what to believe anymore, was Hitler still one of the biggest tyrant in history, was the Earth still round. I really couldn't tell anymore.

I looked back at my mother who was still very much quiet, the resemblance between her and a stone was almost scary so to say.

But finally just like the doctor broke the unreal news to me, my mother broke away from her silence.

"Mary but you told me you were still a virgin?" My eyes widened a little.

"But I still am a virgin" I bluttered out flabbergasted. The immediate silence that took over the office was much quiet than any other silence I have been in.

The doctor adjusted his glasses a little and looked at me strangely.

"But that is impossible" I could tell he thought I was lying, but the thing was that I really wasn't.

"Mom you have to believe me" I once again switched my gaze to my mom with a pleading look on my face.

"Sent you to school and this is what I get in return" she was definitely getting angry. You see my mother was- would I say- a very religious person, I wouldn't be surprised if she was even more religious than the pope himself. So for her to hear that I'm pregnant is a big no-no in her book. She had always stressed on the fact that I keep my purity until I was married, just like she did with my father- Bless his eternal soul.

"Mom you have to believe me I haven't had sex---" my mom released a disapproved groan. She what I said, highly religious.

Changing my words I continued "Slept with anyone"

"So you're saying the doctors diagnosis are wrong, Mai?" She asked using the nickname only she calls me.

In all this the doctor hadn't said anything, only watching us like the professional he was.

"Ma, You know what, since you won't believe me I think they should run a test" I groaned already getting frustrated with everything.

"Again? Why would they run another test, don't stress the doctor Mary"

"Not another test, a different test. A test to show that I am still very much a virgin" I stated confidently. I mean for goodness sake I haven't even kissed anyone in my entire 20years of living, talk less of going to bed with a person. Something had to be wrong somewhere with their test.

I looked at the doctor with pleading eyes, he released a sigh.

"Alright if that is what you want we can do the the test for your hymen examination but it will take a maximum of one hour before the results come out"

"Don't worry I can wait" I said determination overflowing within me.

I looked back to my Mom, she looked disappointed in me and boy did it cut me deep.

Then and there I knew the only thing that could save me from this horrible predicament was what comes out from the test result.
