His words playing in her head “Our baby will never be a sin no matter when or where she or he is born”. She had let her gut down, trusted him too much and neglected contraception because he was against it. She had not seen him since the day they broke up but thinking about him always lead to uncontrollable sobbing. Her psychologist had advised that she takes some time off and focus on herself.
