If you’re asking about what’s the expression of Michael and the rest of the family about me being pregnant then I will tell you

Flashback

I was in my 4 months that time, I didn’t tell them earlier because I am planning to abort the child but when I felt that he’s moving in my tummy, I felt love and peace. I was taking a nap when Michael arrived. “Hey baby sister” he gasps when his eyes meet my tummy well, I forgot to wear t-shirts that time because I am just alone. “Are you pregnant?” he asks again. I take a deep breath and nod. Now, I am so getting a big punch from him.

“Why the hell? Who the hell is the father?” he shouts when mom and dad just arrived from grocery. “What’s going on here?” mom asks. “That filthy daughter of yours is pregnant and she’s hiding it from us” Michael shouts again. “Calm down” dad said and walk towards me. I didn’t let my tears prickled me, I can do this. “Sophia, how many months?” dad ask. “About 4 month’s dad” I said. “For Pete’s sake, 4 month’s Sophia? Are you crazy?” Michael snaps. I know he is pissed as hell but I don’t want to tell them who the father is because Nah! Who am I kidding?!

Mom sobs and walks towards me. “Baby, who is the father?” she asks. I shook my head and sigh. “Tell us who the father is!” Michael snaps angry enough to throw some furniture. “Don’t worry about this, I can handle this thing. I will abort this baby if that what makes things fall into perfect place. “NO!” the three of them says in unison. “Don’t you dare kill the baby because of your mistakes, you need to take responsibilities of your actions” Michael snaps. “Tell us who the father is” dad asks. “If I will tell you who the father is can you please hide it from him? I don’t want to see him, I don’t want him to be part of this baby’s life” I said.

“Why?” Michael asks but now he is calm and he walks towards me. “I don’t want him, I hate him now!” I snap. “Who it is honey?” mom asks. “It’s Lyle” I whisper. “Bullshit!” Michael shouts. “Big brother, we didn’t mean to” I sob, I can’t handle the tears anymore. “He must know he must take full responsibility of you” Michael said. “Your brother is right Sophia; you just can’t hide it from Lyle. Don’t you think that it is unfair to him?” dad adds. “He’s already engage dad! What’s being unfair? He doesn’t have any conscience and I can raise my son without him! Just please don’t tell him” I didn’t know what happen next because the next thing I knew, I was on my knees begging them to keep it a secret. “It’s final! We wouldn’t tell Lyle about his child!” mom announces and she hugs me and helps me up by holding my shoulders.

“But mom” Michael said. “No Michael!” mom said and with those words, no one can argue about it. “Fine, but don’t you dare try to abort your baby” Michael warn and smile.

End of the Flashback

“Well, hello there excited mother” Fantasy greets. Its summer and Fantasy and Michael decided to stay with us for the holiday break, on the other hand, I decided to continue studying in the house. “Yeah right, I can’t wait to meet my boy” I smile while rubbing my tummy.

“Is he moving more often?” Fantasy asks. “Just at night time, I don’t have any sleep but it’s all worth it” I said. “Oh my two young daughters are here” mom said that makes Fantasy blush. Michael is planning to get engaged with Fantasy and well, I don’t have any words about it! As long as they are happy so am I.

“So, your baby shower?” mom asks. “Well, just a little friend from school and Gram and Pop and some of those acquaintances?” I smirk. “Look baby, your mommy is preparing so many things for you” mom said rubbing my tummy. “Well of course, he is my little prince” I smile. A moment later, Michael arrived with dad and my Gram and Pop.

The old pals know about my pregnancy in fact they are happy about it and didn’t care less about the father. “How’s my great grandson doing in there?” Gram smiles “He’s doing very great Gram” I smile.
“Oh! You little fella in there must be so good!” Pop teases. “Yes he is Pops!” I smile.

“Get ready for the baby showers tonight Sophia, there are lots of people that are so keen to see you as a pregnant and adorable woman!” mom smiles “Yeah right, pregnant at the age of 18?” I sigh
“Hey, don’t mind those intruders because they are just jealous of you and besides it’s not a regretful thing, you are having a precious angel” dad smiles and hugs me.

“I know dad and I am happy with my life right now. Knowing that you guys are here beside me” I smile.

“Hooray for the baby!” Kyle and Jessica shouts in unison. “Hooray!” Sharon, Chloe and Christine shout in unison as well. “Shut up you guys!” I said while laughing. “I can’t believe that you are having a son” Jessica smiles. “Who was the father?” Kyle asks. I stiffen and look at Kyle, I can’t tell him because he’s going to tell his brother and I can’t take that risk. “Uhm…” I mutter. “Who cares about the father you big face! The father has no conscience! He just left our dear friend here” Chloe snaps at Kyle. “I just ask!” Kyle snaps back.

“I don’t want to talk about it” I said. “Hey! Sophia, there’s someone whose very keen to meet you” Michael shouts. I gave him a confused look and he just grabs me, leaving my friends from behind. “Where are we going?” I mutter. “To the kitchen” he said. I just follow him so that it will be finish when I saw the last person I wanted to see in my whole life, the man whom I loved, the man who is the father of my child and the man that broke my heart, Lyle.

He looks at me and smile, he looks more handsome than the last time I saw him. He might move on already and face the fact that we’re not meant for each other. Anyway, Michael told me that Lyle didn’t marry Lorraine but I don’t have any idea why. Lyle excuses himself to those people whom I don’t know and walks towards me.
On the other hand, Michael excuses himself so that Lyle and I can talk more privately.

I hesitated at first but I don’t have any choices, all my system just abandoned me. I can’t love him again!

I shout at my own mind. “Hi” Lyle mutters. I raise my brow but just smile. “That smile is a bit sarcastic” he said. “Why do you want to see me?” I snap. “I always wanted to see you but you’re the one who is not willing to see me again; and I just want to congratulate you about your baby” he reply in more sincere tone.

“Thanks but I have lots of visitors and I don’t want to be rude so I’d better go now” I said. Honestly, I don’t want to talk to him again because I know deep down inside I still love him and I still do but I have to go away because that’s the nicest thing to do. “Why do you keep on pushing me away? I just want to ask you something” he said.

I look at him and sigh. “What is it?” I ask. “Who is the father of your child?” he asks back. I froze for second and let my brain think straight; don’t tell me he knows about this? “What is it to you?” I hiss. “Do you love him?” he whispers. I close my eyes and make myself relax, he must not know about the baby. “Yes I love him, I love him so much that I sacrifice the fact that we would not intrude to his life again, so if you don’t have any questions, I would like to leave you now” I bid and walk away from him. Wiping those tears that flow down to my cheek.

I was walking back to the party when I saw Fantasy and Michael talking. “Hey” Michael greets. I gave him a madden look and walk towards him. “You know that I don’t want to see him, why did you invite him?” I hiss. “Whoa, kiddo calm down. We didn’t invite him alright? He just passes by and drop some stuff here and I am not a rude person so I let him come in” Michael snaps.

“Anyway, what happen to your talk?” Fantasy asks. “I don’t really want to…Ouch!” I grip my tummy, It hurts and please don’t tell me I’m going to give birth now? “What’s wrong Sophia?” Michael asks panicky. “My baby, I’m….I’m going to have my baby!” I shout while still holding my tummy. “Fantasy, please call mom and dad” Michael orders and without any sound of response, Fantasy ran off to look for my parents.

“Michael it hurts so badly!” I shout in pain. “We’re going to wait for mom and dad, Sophia. I don’t know what to do” he said panicky. “We need to bring her to the hospital” said with a masculine voice and I know who it was, it is Lyle. “Let’s go then!” Michael mutters. Lyle rush beside me, he carry me and I don’t have any energy to hesitate because I know that I can’t bear the pain right now and I have to go to the hospital.

“Lyle, please bring her to the hospital. The family will follow as soon as we can! Please take care of your family!” Michael snaps. Lyle stop walking and I glare at Michael and he suddenly gives me a wide eyes. “What did
