A Love Rekindled
After the breakup.
Nauseous and with no appetite, I called my ex.
I cautiously said, “I’m pregnant.”
My ex scoffed, “Lily Anderson, we’ve been broken up for a year and three months.”
I nodded, “I never said the child was yours.”
Ex:\“…”
Early in the morning, I felt like throwing up before I even had breakfast.
It had been like this for several days in a row.
I didn’t know if I had eaten something wrong.
Looking pale, I leaned against the wall as I walked out of my room, startling my roommate Emily Watson. She hurried over to help me sit down.
“You’re nauseous again?”
“Nothing’s coming up, but I feel awful.”
Emily poured me a glass of warm water. “When was your last period?”
I curled up on the sofa, feeling sick.
“I can’t remember. Besides, my periods are always irregular. Why are you asking?”
Emily suddenly gripped my shoulders, her expression unusually serious. “Lily, I strongly suspect you’re pregnant!”
I looked at her in horror.
“Don’t… don’t say that!”
“Really, all five of my sisters had morning sickness like this. I’m too familiar with it! But aren’t you single? Have you been hiding a secret boyfriend?”
At that moment, I was at a loss.
No, it should be him-
My ex–boyfriend, James Sullivan!
Two months ago, on my birthday, I didn’t want to celebrate. I went out for a late–night walk and somehow ended up outside James’s apartment.
Coincidentally, James was drunk that night, and some girls were fighting over who would take him home!

Claiming to be his girlfriend, I chased them all away.
carried the completely drunk James upstairs, and then things got heated, and some indescribable things happened! Afterwards, I ran away, feeling quilty.

Afterwards, I ran away, feeling guilty.
Because I was the one who broke up with James, vowing never to appear in front of him again.
How could I go back on my word and slap my own face?
“Lily, you must talk to the father of the child. After all, he has a responsibility too. Being a single mom isn’t easy, especially for a child growing up in a single–parent family…”
Emily didn’t continue.
Because I grew up in a single–parent family.
Without a father, I faced a lot of judgment from a young age, and my mom went through so many hardships raising me alone.
My eyes welled up with tears, and I felt incredibly low.
Suddenly, I felt very lost about the future.

Lily, don’t panic. Maybe I’m wrong! Why don’t you go to the hospital for a check–up? The hospital is just next to our
Emily comforted me while glancing at her watch. She exclaimed, “Oh no, I’m going to be late!”
“Lily, you rest at home first. I’ll come back at noon to take you to the hospital!”
Before she finished speaking, Emily had already rushed out the door.
After agonizing at home for half a day.
I finally called for delivery and bought a few pregnancy tests.
Five minutes later, they all showed two lines!
