******Two Months Later******* Dahlia was bent over the toilet, vomiting her insides out. This had been going on for the past two months. She was moody, constantly tired, and the smell of the food in the cafeteria made her nauseated. To top things off, her period was way late! Deep down, Dahlia knew that she was pregnant, but she didn't want to believe it. She was only seventeen years old and still in high school. But how could I be pregnant? Derek and I were always careful! She thought to herself, but then she thought back to the night of the Sweetheart Dance. They didn't use protection that night. They were caught up in the moment. Dahlia cursed herself for being so irresponsible. How was she going to tell Derek? Calm down, girl. You don't even know for sure yet. Just go to the clinic and take a test. She reasoned. But it was as if Candy had read her mind.
"Ok, Dahlia, go put your jacket on. We're going to the doctor." Said Candy, who was standing in the doorway, with her one month old daughter, Zara in her arms. "Candy, I'm fine. I don't need a doctor." Dahlia said, trying to convince Candy. "Dahlia, I have a baby, so I know the signs when I see them. You've been walking around complaining about your breasts being sore, you've been having psycho mood swings, and you've been throwing up for the past two months. So don't think you can fool me. Now, go get your jacket. We're going." Candy ordered. Dahlia did as she was told. **At The Clinic** Dahlia thought she was in a nightmare that she hoped she would wake up from. When the doctor told her the results, she completely zoned out. She could hear the doctor's lips moving, but she could hear no sound. "Positive?" She asked in disbelief. "Yes, Miss Moore. You are about 12 weeks along. Have you told the father?" The doctor asked. Dahlia shook her head no. "Well, I think you should know your options." The doctor began, but Dahlia cut him off. "I'm keeping it." Dahlia said. Candy nodded in understanding. "Very well. Your next appoint will be in four weeks." The doctor said as he led Dahlia out of the exam room. In the car on the way home, Dahlia sent Derek a text. Derek, meet me at my place. We need to talk. ***About Twenty Minutes Later*** When they got to the house, Derek was already there. Dahlia got out the car, her eyes red, crying. "Baby Doll, what's wrong?" Derek asked, his face full of concern. Candy led them inside the house. "I'll leave you two to talk." She said before going to Zara's room to feed her. Derek turned to Dahlia, and lifted her chin so that their eyes met. Even though she was upset, Derek's eyes still made Dahlia's heart melt. "Dahlia, please tell me what's going on?" Derek asked, anxious. "I don't want you to be mad at me." Dahlia said through her tears. "Dahlia, listen to me. There is nothing that you can say that will ever make me mad at you. So tell me." Said Derek. Dahlia took a deep breath and said," I'm pregnant." Derek's eyes grew wide. "How is that possible? I always used a condom!" He said. "Not always, Derek. Remember the night of the dance? Our first time?" Dahlia replied. Derek took a moment to think, and then it hit him. They didn't use protection that night. "Shit! This is all my fault! You wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for me." Derek said with his head in his hands. Dahlia put her hand on his shoulder, to comfort him. "Derek, it takes two, so it's just as much my fault as it is yours." Dahlia said. "So what do you want to do?" Derek asked. "I want to keep it. I don't think I could live with myself if I got an abortion." Dahlia said. "Please, whatever you do, don't give it up for adoption!" Derek pleaded. Dahlia knew that Derek's own mother put him up for adoption, and that it was still painful for him. "Derek, I would never do that." She said. "I want our baby to grow up with both its parents. I want him or her to know that even though he or she wasn't planned, he, or she is loved and wanted." Derek said. Dahlia smiled. "So what are you saying?" Dahlia asked. Derek stood up and got down on one knee in front of Dahlia, who began to cry again. "I know we're only seventeen, and no where near ready for this, but what I do know is that I love you with all my heart, and I love the child that we created. I want you and only you, and I want us to be a family. Dahlia Rose Moore, will you marry me?" Dahlia felt her heart swell. She loved Derek more than anything, and wanted nothing more than to marry him. "Yes!" She cried, and Derek got up and took her into his arms and kissed her passionately. Little did they know, however, was that they were being watched, and their happiness would be short-lived.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
