The Pregnant Underaged Writer

Some say expectant mothers are filled with joy, love, and peace. Others are overwhelmed with emotion from Angry to sad I've seen it all. Mothers are there to help you whenever you need a guiding hand, To nurture you, and to love you unconditionally no matter your color, race, or sexual orientation. I've always craved for a child this growing pressure grew into a want and soon enough I got my wish. I'm not quite enamored of how I got pregnant, but what I do know Is I will love and cherish this child for as long as I live. This baby will be the light I've always wanted for myself and hopefully for all of those around me. I've known for about a week now and still haven't told my mother. The only problem Is I'm seventeen and starting my senior year of High school In three weeks, Beside that I don't have much money and we are getting ready to move to Oklahoma. But I have to tell her soon...

I have no clue how mother will react nevertheless she always told me to follow my heart to that I owe her. It has helped me even In the darkest times when kids picked on me because they thought I was weird or didn't like what I was wearing, They'd pull my hair and trust me I don't like people touching my hair. I never had any friends back then as I got older the bullying decreased as my body got fuller and curvy. In return I started having more respect for myself and stopped caring about what others think. I'm thankful Toby doesn't have to go through it. I mean who really wants to see their little brother getting bullied? I would think no one but sadly there are people out there who beg to differ and I'm sure they have a pretty good explanation for that. I smiled, wiping the fog off of the mirror with my right hand making It wet again. I just got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me drying off after wiping the mirror. Putting my hair behind my ears and into a bun I smile looking at myself In the mirror. I had curves In the right places my hair went down to my shoulders.

I never really cared about my appearance. I didn't have big boobs or a big butt however my friends may have a different opinion. I dried my hair with the towel going over it three times to make sure It won't be extremely wet given that I had just stepped out of the shower not long ago. Placing the towel on the floor I rub my feet with it making the towel move as well, when I felt like my feet were dry enough I stepped off of the towel and placed It on the counter In front of me. I stepped Into my house slippers and grabbed my robe that was hanging on the door. I put It on and tied it up twice so It wouldn't fall off of my body, I move my hair making sure Its behind the back of the robe. I must say I do like the cold but I don't want to be shivering cold, I open the middle drawer and pulled out an hair piece. Tying up my hair into a messy bun was fun all I did was move all my hair towards the front while looking at the floor.

After I had a grip on the hair I wrapped the tie around my hair, holding on a tiny piece of the tie I looked upward to the mirror again. Then tied it into a bun. Closing the middle drawer then opening the right drawer and taking out my skin care products. I was most excited to try this oil free wash, I've seen It In the store plenty of times but never really tried It so today's the day to do so. I put some of the product onto my hand and scrubbed it all over my face and neck. Many people don't use products like these for their necks but I don't want my acne to show up on my neck so If I have to do this then so be It. When I feel like I'm satisfied with the amount that went on my face I set a timer on my phone for five minutes after washing my hands. Drying my hands off I hear the door being knocked on and opened the door. "Can I use the bathroom" I smiled and stepped out of the bathroom.

"Sure Just come get me when your done okay." He nods and quickly moves inside the bathroom closing the door In the process. I walked down the hall to the left and Into my room. The walls were painted Lilac my bed was by the window and I had a desk to the right side of the room opposite of the bed. I had a walk-in closet that mostly consisted of sweatpants, shorts, and tank tops. What who doesn't like being comfortable shaking my head left and right I walked to the bed and laid down on the bed with my face starring up at the ceiling. I wonder If I will have twins or maybe triplets? I know I have to go to the doctor's office today or tomorrow to get those pregnancy pills your supposed to take to help the baby grow healthy. Looking up I see Toby there smiling at me for who knows what reason.

"I'm done" he says and I smile getting up off of the bed then coming over to him ruffling his hair up "Thanks kiddo." I say before walking to the bathroom and closing the door behind me. I grabbed a dry face towel and soaked It with water and removed the product off of my face and neck. I scrub It off three to four times before grabbing another dry face towel and wiping my face and neck off. I stop the timer on my phone and clean up my mess, putting the skin care items back into the drawer then throwing the dirty towels and face cloths in the hamper to wash later. Grabbing my phone I walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the kitchen where my mom Is currently sitting down looking at some papers. "Hi ma" I say moving towards her and the table pulling out an chair I sit down next to her. "Oh hey sweetie I'm sorry I didn't notice you come In." she says in a surprised voice as she looks at me while she talks. I don't know why but I like looking people In the eye while I'm speaking to them.

"What are those?" I pointed to the papers. She shaked her head "I um...Have to tell you something" I looked at her confused "What Is It mom?" I asked In a worried tone I didn't want her to be more stressed than she already Is since dad died last year. She's been working so hard but I can't help but feel like a piece of her died when he did. I grabbed her hands "Tell me when your ready mom, I don't want to pressure you Into telling me take your time." she smiles and squeezes my hands "Sweetheart this kind of Information has to be shared I just don't know how your going to react to the news that's all." I nodded "It's ok tell me." she nodded then looked at me and In the most honest voice she said "We're moving to Oklahoma"
