Anyway back to the story, Wanda and I drove down the road to an isolated spot that was usually used as our “inspiration point”. I parked and asked her with a nervous, but concerned voice “O.K. were here, what’s up?” I guess because she had stalled so long already, I was not expecting her to just blurt it out. But that’s exactly what she did “I’m pregnant Scott!” as her eyes started to fill.
Even though I already had an idea why we were going for a ride, it still threw me for a loop to actually hear the words. I’m pregnant Scott….I’m pregnant Scott…. I’m pregnant Scott….I’m pregnant Scott…. The words must have echoed through my head a hundred times in about 10 seconds while we sat in silence! I felt that jolt of heat a person feels when something shocks or embarrasses them, and for a second or so I even got a little dizzy. After this 10 seconds of shock wore off the next emotion was FEAR!!!
How would I raise a child?
What will my family say?
Will her Dad kill me?
And then
I wonder if she’ll have an abortion???
