chapter forty

I couldn't believe it. I was pregnant. The news was still sinking in as I sat on my bed, staring at the positive pregnancy test. I had so many mixed emotions - fear, excitement, guilt, and happiness.

On one hand, I was excited about the prospect of becoming a mother and starting a family with Felix. But on the other hand, I was scared of what this would mean for our future. Felix was studying to become a doctor, and I didn't want to be the reason why he couldn't achieve his dreams.

I also felt guilty for not being more careful, and for not taking the necessary precautions to prevent this from happening. I knew that my parents would be disappointed in me for getting pregnant at such a young age.

But despite all of these concerns, I couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness knowing that a new life was growing inside of me. It was a miracle and a blessing, and I knew that no matter what, I would do everything in my power to give this child the best life possible.
