บท 2: Mother by Chance
Chapter 2:The Aftermath
Alex sat on her couch, staring blankly at the wall as Sarah's words echoed in her mind. "We'll figure this out together." Easy for Sarah to say – she wasn't the one with a positive pregnancy test.
Sarah had arrived at Alex's apartment 20 minutes after their phone call, armed with a pint of ice cream and a listening ear. They'd spent the past hour discussing everything from Alex's options to her feelings about the pregnancy.
As the initial shock began to wear off, Alex's mind started racing with questions. What would her parents think? How would this affect her career? And what about the father – should she even try to contact him?
Sarah, sensing Alex's growing anxiety, placed a reassuring hand on her knee. "One step at a time, okay? First, let's focus on confirming the pregnancy and getting you set up with a doctor."
Alex nodded, feeling a small sense of relief wash over her. Maybe, just maybe, she could get through this after all.
The next few days passed in a blur of doctor's appointments, prenatal vitamins, and endless questions. Alex's head spun with information about fetal development, nutrition, and childbirth. It was overwhelming, but she was determined to be prepared.
At her first prenatal appointment, Alex was amazed by the tiny heartbeat on the ultrasound screen. It was real – she was really pregnant. The doctor's words echoed in her mind: "You're about six weeks along, and everything looks normal."
As she left the doctor's office, Alex felt a mix of emotions. She was scared, but also curious. What would this little being be like? Would it have her eyes or her hair?
The days turned into weeks, and Alex found herself adapting to her new reality. She started taking prenatal yoga classes, read up on parenting books, and even joined an online community for expectant mothers.
But despite her growing preparation, Alex couldn't shake off the feeling that something was missing. She'd always envisioned herself as a mother, but not like this – not as a single parent.
As she lay in bed that night, Alex's thoughts turned to the father. She'd tried to push him out of her mind, but the question lingered – should she try to find him?
What would she even say to him? "Hey, remember that one-night stand six weeks ago? Well, surprise! You're going to be a dad."
Alex scoffed at the thought. No, she wouldn't bother. She'd raise this child on her own, without the help or drama of an absent father.
But as she drifted off to sleep, Alex couldn't shake off the feeling that she was making a mistake. Shouldn't she at least try to find him? For the sake of her child, if not for herself?
The question lingered in her mind, a constant reminder that this journey was far from over.
