Sneak Peak Of My Life. pt.2
I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and had to make an excuse to get out of working the rest of the day. As I drove home, I held my stomach and wondered if their could, somehow, be a way that I was pregnant. Would it be a boy? Would it be a girl? What would I name it? Finally I pulled up at my boyfriend, of 2 years, house. I slowly got out of my little Honda and walked to the door. He greeted me as he usually did, asking me why I had left work so early, what happened? I finally gained the courage to tell him that I had been asked about being pregnant. His face went blank. We didn't know what to do. We were still kids ourselves. Everyday, I was with Neil (my at the time) boyfriend, and my best friend, Jessica. Jessica was dating my cousin Brandon and had just found out that she was also pregnant. Plus, I had a total of 3 best friends, that were my age, and also pregnant. All of those nights spent telling Neil that I wanted a baby like everyone else, had finally worked, and I was scared. Now I realize how dumb that sounds, but my baby was no accident. I saw everyone else with kids, and i thought that it would be easy. "Hey, if they done it, I KNOW WE CAN", I thought to myself. Well, we decided it was time to find out if it was true or false. Jessica had very "sticky fingers", and went into the local Dollar Store and stole me 2 pregnancy tests. I sat there, stared at the test for a few minutes when she dropped the first one down on the bed in Neil's room. I quickly got a cup and urinated in it. I put the test on the counter and waited, it seemed like hours for this 2 minute test. The results were clear on the first test but Neil insisted that we take the second, just to be sure. The results were no different. I WAS PREGNANT! I didn't know how I was going to tell my mother and father that I, a child myself, was having a baby. When I walked into my house at my moms, she was sitting on the computer with her back turned away from the kitchen table. I told her that I had something important to tell her. She looked back at me and said, "Well, what is it Juli?" It took about 5 minutes for me to get up the courage to tell her. By that time, she was already back to her game facing away from me. So, I just said, "mom, I'm pregnant"..... She didn't say a word. She sat there another 3 minutes (seemed like hours), then she just got up crying and walked to her room. Me, being emotional already, took that as she was not happy with it. So, I quickly got up and got back in my car, and went to my cousins, Christina's house. I walked in with my pregnant friend Jessica and sat down on Christina's couch. At the exact same moment, we both said the same thing, "I gotta tell you something" and I told her to go first. Come to find out, she is pregnant too. When I tell her we will be carrying together she is overjoyed! She was excited that we would have 2 babies a month apart. She asked me if I had told my dad yet, and I just looked down. She hugged me tight and explained to me how we were going to tell him.
