– Mom, I have to tell you something, – Lucy said, – I’m pregnant.
– What? Yeah, you did, -Sarah replied.
– I’m not joking. I’m pregnant. I took four tests, all four showed two stripes, – said the girl without a trace of pity.
– What do you mean pregnant, Lucy? You’re 16, are you crazy? What “pregnant”? With your Adam, I guess? – The woman shouted and waved her hands.
– We love each other. He’s not guilty of anything. We’ll get married, and everything will be fine, you’ll see. I won’t leave Adam, and he won’t leave me.
– We’ll see about that! I have such a position in town, how dare you besmirch my name. I won’t let you ruin what I’ve built all my life. Tomorrow we’ll go to the hospital and you’ll terminate the pregnancy.
– It is not going to happen! – Lucy screamed and went to her room, slamming the door loudly.
Lucy went to the doctor’s office for a checkup, and her mother went with her to scout. When her daughter came out of the doctor’s office, the mother learned that the due date did not allow her to terminate the pregnancy. It was only possible to give birth. Then the grandmother-to-be hatched a terrible plan. She decided to send her daughter to her sister in another town so that she would not loom before the eyes of the whole town. Lucy agreed.
A few days ago she had packed to run away with her lover from her mother and away from her city, but her mother fell to her knees and lied that she had changed her mind, and would even be happy if her daughter gave her a grandchild. Lucy agreed to move in with her aunt. She didn’t want to get on her mother’s nerves again, and besides, it was safer there.
Lucy gave birth there, and then her mother’s scenarios began to come true. Lucy’s baby was taken right away, they didn’t even let her look at it. A blue-eyed boy was born, a copy of his father. He was given to another family, and Lucy was told that the baby did not survive – a terrible disease was not compatible with life. Lucy’s mother was overjoyed. Everything went as she had planned, but she did not know how much she had ruined her daughter’s life.
Lucy did not get into her mother’s favorite university, because she failed her school exams. The girl withdrew into herself and only by the time she was 30 years old did she decide to see a psychologist. She never tried to build a personal life again. Her whole life went down the drain.
What happened to the child? He lives a happy life in a happy family. He doesn’t know what happened on the first day of his life, and his mother never found out that she gave birth to a strong and healthy baby boy. This secret the boy’s grandmother took with her into another world.
