I Am The Luna

VALERIE.

Somehow, I was expecting that reaction from him. I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t expecting him to be ecstatic over the news and, in a way, I’m glad I was prepared.

Being a doctor, I’ve come across a huge variety of reactions from couples, or even single mothers. Accidental pregnancies are not a small matter, and our relationship is so recent and so new that I don’t blame him for reacting like that even if it does hurt a little.

More than his rejection of the pregnancy, what stung was the way he closed up. My only solace was his parting words, proof enough that he’s trying to be considerate and will return.

In all honesty, it was my carelessness. I told him I’d take the morning–after pill and I should have gotten onto birth control. What was I expecting? But at the same time, so much happened I can’t fault myself for forgetting.
