The Unexpected Blessing
“Oh no, this can’t be happening to me right now! This has to be some kind of sick joke” I thought to myself while I glanced at the pregnancy test. At this moment I didn’t know whether to be surprised on how it happened, or just accept the fact that it did happen and be happy. Instead, I decided to take two more pregnancy tests because I was positive that there was some kind of mistake with the first one but the results were no different, they both ended up being positive. So I tried to list everything I did for the past two weeks but nothing came to mind. I sat in my room for hours and nothing, months passed and it still didn’t make sense to me how it was possible for someone who has never had any type of sexual intercourse to conceive? It was as if I had Alzheimer’s, I forgot everything, my mind just went blank and for those 7 months that’s all I could think about. What am I going to do with this baby? How will I take care of this baby? Will I ever be able to find out who’s the father? Do I really want to have this baby at such a young age? These four question circled around in my head, driving me crazy and causing me to have insomnia which just made it worst. I really didn’t want to get an abortion because I already made it so far in my pregnancy, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live with the fact that I killed a little innocent baby. I just couldn’t do it but it was really hard not to do it when it seemed like the right thing to do. The next two months flew by &’ next thing I know I was at the hospital pushing someone’s baby out. “Ugh! This pain is insane, is the baby almost out?” I screamed to the doctor while pushing simultaneously. “Honey you’re almost done, just push a couple more times and this will all be over”. So I did push a couple of time and I hear the doctor say “There’s the head, hi baby boy you’re so handsome”. At that moment I felt so relieved, I was glad It was finally over. The doctor took the baby to get him cleaned up and when they brought him to me all I could do was cry. At that moment I didn’t care whose baby it was, If I’m being honest I didn’t even feel the pain anymore all I knew was that I felt this unconditional love for the little handsome boy that I was holding. It was a different feeling, something I never experienced before, it was love at first sight. “Hi Josiah, mommy loves you!” I told my handsome baby boy while holding in my arms. As I was getting ready to go home that’s when it hit me that all of this started with a trip to the gynecologist, they must have switched my file with the girl that was getting inseminated that day but I didn’t really care I was surprisingly fortunate to have this beautiful baby to be my son.
