His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

It was a few days further and I was still three months pregnant. Nope, absolutely nothing had changed ashit. After finishing up my week behind the bar it was the weekend and somehow I managed to call in sicout of the picture and so was Lucio who was at first surprised to see me in the kitchen but didn’t pay lotsit.

I knew that if I had to work it tonight it would’ve been time to start dancing again, but I also knew that I at least not with a baby in my belly. After looking up several job applications I had quickly found out thatwaiting on a college drop out.

My hands grasped for the abortion clinic booklet and I held it tightly. Why did it have to be this difficult?The most logical action would be to go with my original plan and to abort the baby as soon as possible. something of my own but I also wanted to give my child the life it deserved. Adoption was out of optionmyself very well, I got too attached way too quickly and would never be able to give up my child. Keepinsomething I did not have the heart for even if I wanted to.

I looked down at the contact number at the back of the booklet and typed it in on my phone but regrettsomeone had actually picked up. I had expected getting an abortion was an easy thing to do and that thfollow quickly after that, but it didn’t. Unfortunately, I did not prepare myself for all the questions which including the question of why I wanted the abortion, but what was I even thinking? Upon hearing my unnurse made an appointment for the next day so I could talk things over and get more explanation.

The word ‘discuss’ scared me. I did not want to discuss anything because I knew that the longer I waitedregret my decision. It was not that I didn’t want to become a parent, because I wanted to, but what was tbeing pregnant when you could not even enjoy your pregnancy?

To make matters worse, the internet was my best friend, so I looked up the abortion process and even wvideos as if reading about it wasn’t painful enough.

Just the thought of it made me run to the bathroom to throw up for what would be the fourth time todabeing morning sickness, it was more-so a combination of nerves and disgust. I just wanted this to vanishon with my life and never make the same decision again.

On the bright side, I wouldn’t get that many questions from the girls because Faith and Luna were the onSee, being a loner did have its advantages.
