Leslie and I have been spending more time together. Sometimes we go out for coffee, dinner, and a movie, but usually, we go to the park for picnics and enjoy the fresh air. Today while at the park, I noticed she seemed a little unusual, she just didn't seem to be herself. Finally, she told me that we had to talk. My heart dropped, nothing good ever starts that way.
It was pretty big news, alright. She told me that she had just found out that she's pregnant. I was immediately disheartened, I won't lie. However, we hadn't discussed our relationship status yet and we never said we'd be exclusive so I have no reason to be hurt or angry. I can't help the feeling of pain still burning in my gut, though.
She's feeling scared, unsure, and alone. I don't know who the father is and I don't know their situation. I don't feel it's my place to ask. All I know is that he isn't in the picture and has no desire to be. Meanwhile, I'll be here for her. I'm developing strong feelings for her and considering how I feel for her, how could I not care for her child as well?
We talked long into the night and decided to make it official and not see other people. She's going to keep the baby and I'm going to be here for her for as long as she lets me.
