Evelyn's pov
I decided to turn in early leaving Mike and Cathy in the sitting room watching TV
I was so exhausted mentally emotionally and physically
It didn't take much time before I completely passed going to dream land
I woke up feeling worse my body hurts like I haven't slept in a long time I feel like I was lifting boulders
I quickly got ready to go to the hospital, Mike went to work early and Cathy went to her place. Her mom needed something so she had to leave.
I decided to just walk to the hospital since it's near
I walked along the pathway lost in thought among all my thoughts one question was nagging me
Am I doing the right thing?
I mean despite not being planned it's still my blood
I have no right to destroy it but what are people going to think of me
I'm very sure when Whitney hears this she is going to use it to prove that I truly was a hooker
Without my knowledge my hand flew to my tummy caressing it softly
I alived at the hospital half an hour later, the doctor had another patient so I had to wait outside
I sat down on the bench near a pregnant woman who seems to be around eight months pregnant
“Hi, I'm Kendall” she says extending her hand
I didn't want to be rude so I shake her hand “Evelyn, congratulations” I say signaling to her growing tummy
“Oh thanks, I'm so excited to meet the little boy. “ She says beaming with happiness
“You know I almost aborted since it was not planned but I'm glad I didn't a child is a gift from god after all …..“
I have to say I don't if it's just observation but these women talk a lot
I got to know from Kendall that she actually got pregnant unplanned and the guy actually run away
She had also thought of abortion but seeing the little thing growing inside her she decided on too
I also got to know Elaine though her she is married she also gave some insight on being pregnant
The beauty of being a mother and the hardship too
After listening to all these women I felt terrible I'm a horrible person
How can I think of abortion my mom's didn't abort me
What right do I have to kill an innocent soul
I'm sorry my love I say caressing my belly even though it's not yet visible mom has been a terrible person
But I promise you I'm going to take care of you
I'm going to make sure you don't have a life like mine
I continued apologizing to my baby it my heart
I can't just kill a life just because I didn't plan to
If my child get to know that I once considered aborting them killing they would never forgive me
It might not be planned but it was not a curse it's a blessing
I should be greatful to God after my family abandoned me I should be happy that god gave me another one
“Evelyn are you okay” I didn't realize I started crying until I felt Kendall wipe my tears
“I'm sorry I guess I just got emotional hearing your words” all the ladies laugh at my words and after a long time I feel light I finally smile genuinely
“Yeah pregnant can do such things to you one minute you are happy the next you are crying your eyes out” Elaine says smiling
We continue chatting laughing like we have known each other for ever
Before long I'm called by the doctor I enter the room quite white room
The moment I enter the doctor starts preparing her equipment
“Doctor, is it possible to cancel the abortion appointment” I say fidgeting with my fingers feeling nervous.
I'm relieved when the doctor seems happy to hear my change of heart
“I'm really glad to decided to change your heart planned or not a child is a blessing some are not lucky enough to receive such a blessing” she says smiling
The doctor starts changing the initial appointment into a ultra sound screening
After she finishes arranging everything I lie down on a small bed with my shirt lifted a bit to show my abdomen
Doctor Norris as I got to know her name puts a gel on my tummy spreading it
The gel is so cold I can't help a shiver when it contacts my skin
In a few minutes an image shows on the monitor
Thanks to my love for medicine I can clearly see where the fetus is located
“Okay so miss Evelyn your babies seems to healthy just need to take some suppliment and avoid stressful situation. Also don't bottle up emotions it's not good for the baby you also need to eat healthy. You will be experiencing some morning sickness dizziness and cravings but it's all part of the pregnant”
Doctor Norris says showing me the location of the fetuses
“Wait I'm going to have twins” I couldn't help but shout
“Yes Evelyn congratulations you are having twins” doctor Norris agrees smiling
Wow isn't this a blessing I lost everything and I got two bundles of joy
I leave the doctor's office after undergoing the check ups and discovering I'm having twins
I still don't know how to react but I'm not going to get rid of my babies
Mommy is going to protect and love you I say touching my stomach
Before going I go to Kendall and hug her say “thanks Kendall you prevented me from doing something irreversible and I hope to see you again”
After saying farewell to Kendall and the ladies I walk home
Before going home I decide to buy some ice cream and sit at a park enjoying the bleeze
I haven't felt this clear headed in a long time
I feel like I can finally move on with my life try to make everyone okay
For my children
