First Time

"Pregnant." Eight letters, one word. A word that would change our lives forever. It means that I would become responsible for another human being. It meant that I would have to tell Joe.

Travelling back to New York felt like travelling to hell. I'd have to face Joe after 12 weeks of no contact and then tell him I was pregnant. I'd have to see his family after leaving them without a noise.

I had more than another human being to be responsible, I had my actions as well.
