The End of the Beginning
The end of the Beginning “Hello can I speak to Keisha?” a hesitant voice on the phone asked. “ um this is her…” I replied while grabbing my car keys, my lunch and scrambling out the door, I recognized the number from the doctors office, and the squeaky voice sounded only slightly familiar. I rolled my eyes it must be that new nurse that rubbed me the wrong way when I was in there last and they informed me I was somehow 11 weeks pregnant. The news of the pregnancy itself was depressing enough seeing that I had finally freed myself from the clutches of my ex and her cavalier persona didn’t sit well with me. Thinking back to our last encounter made me laugh in irony.. the baby had made me sick to my stomach the same way the thoughts of him did. I knew abortion wasn’t an option and with my career soaring adoption crossed my mind more than I wanted to admit. The flutters from feeling the first kicks always reminded me about the nervous butterfly feeling I got when I first met him.
