[|] Jackie's POV I felt so different now that I knew I was pregnant. I started acting carefully, scared that something was going to go wrong with the child growing in my womb. I felt conflicted within myself too, a feeling that made me feel like my whole life has changed somehow. It was a case where I had to choose options and anyone I chose would change something in the future, which is why I needed to speak to the women in my life before anything. I had met my mother and cried to her, asking her if I did something wrong by getting pregnant early. She had said I didn't and told me that a child was a blessing and that I also had the right to abort it if I wanted. After our conversation, she showed me all the baby pictures she always carried with her in her wallet. It warmed my heart.
