Judy's POV

"Pregnant?!" Both Lucy and I nearly shouted at the same time. It startled the doctor, who looked between us with a frown.

"Y...yes," he stammered. "You are, in fact, pregnant. Of course, there are options. You don't need to decide anything right now, but I know you just got here and are a part of the Elite Force. I doubt they'd let you continue working on the force if they knew you were pregnant."

"Are you saying I could get fired from my job?" I asked, my voice hoarse. "I worked hard to get this position. How would it look if I got fired??"

"Don't worry, you're not going to get fired," Lucy said stubbornly, folding her arms across her chest. "This is a minor setback."

"As I said, there are options," the doctor said, his brows pinched together. He rummaged through his stuff and pulled out a brochure. When he handed it to me, I saw the big words on the front of it, and my heart stopped.

Abortion.

Was he seriously suggesting that I abort my baby?

Was that something I was even capable of doing?

I was pregnant... with an actual baby. A living and breathing baby.

Oh Goddess... Gavin.
