Every Little Thing In The World (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Maybe if he could have guessed, in a flash of intuition like I had with him, I would have admitted to being pregnant. But the fact that only Natalia and I knew about my pregnancy protected me, not only from discovery but by making it seem less than real. The moment the information started to spread, it would move from the realm of secret to fact. I couldn’t face that transition, not just yet. It struck me more than once: Human reproduction was just a bad system. Three months for the first trimester didn’t seem nearly long enough to process, decide, and act. For example, I couldn’t spend time thinking about Natalia’s request. How in the world could I seriously consider having a baby? Linden Hill Country Day was not the sort of school where pregnant girls showed up for junior year. Wasn’t I already enough of an outsider with my singlemother? Not to mention a father who hailed from the boondocks rather than the 50 percent income bracket. And what about when the baby was born? Would I give it away and live my entire life knowing that somewhere out there I had a child?
