“The uterus is normally not quite this visible.”
“ So what does that mean?” I question.
“ Well do you see this little dot on the side of the uterus?”
“ Yeah, what is that?”
“ That is the embryo, Ebony you’re pregnant.”
“ And that is my baby?”
“ Yeah, sweetie. That will be yours and Matt’s baby.”
Sophia starts to rub my hand, “Are you okay Ebony?’
Without taking my eyes off the screen, and I feel calm. The same way Matt makes me feel. “Yeah, I really am. Can you believe Matt and I created that the first time we were ever together? It is a miracle, like it is meant to be. My baby was created through love. Even the fact that this happened the day of Gram’s passing, should mean something.”
“ I must say I am surprised at your reaction,” Sophia says with slight concern.
“ Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m terrified. I’m so not ready for this and like the kids at school don’t tease me enough. I have no idea what I’m going to do. How will I ever go to college, with a baby?” I start to panic again as reality sets in. I’m only sixteen, still just a kid myself and have not even started senior year yet. I’m going to be a mommy. What the hell were we thinking not using protection? I begin to feel really hot and dizzy, it’s hard to breath. Suddenly everything goes black.

I wake up on the floor of a cave; I recognize it as the same cave where I saw Grams that first night. Slowly, I get up to my feet and proceed down the same Hall, wondering what I’m doing here. The last thing I remember, I was in Constance’s office, oh God, I’m pregnant. I need Grams, that must be why am here. Then I see it in front of me, the white light, and I know she is coming. I can feel the white light surrounding me. The warmth coming from it wraps me in an embrace as if she is hugging me, as peace enters my soul.
“ Grams is that you? I need you so bad, right now. I have made a terrible mess of things and I don’t know how to fix it.”
“ We are all here for you, Ebony. Your mother, father and I are all here. We know what’s going on and one lesson that you need to learn is anything can happen. Don’t ever think that can’t happen to you. I know both you and Matt are smart kids therefore the two of you should’ve known better. Now that my mini lecture is out of the way, we also want you to know that your life isn’t over. Things are going to be, well difficult; I’m not going to lie to you. I know you’re fighter, for crying out loud. You take on demons on regular basis, I think you can handle a few soiled diapers and sleepless nights.”
“ Ebony just because your father and I have not been physically there for you doesn’t mean that we’ve not been with you. We have seen you and Matt grow together as a couple and two of you can make it through this. You’ll be seventeen next month that’s only one year younger than I was when I had your sister. I just hope that you have a better chance at being a mother and I did,” my mother admits.
Just as quickly as I arrived here, it all fades and I feel a pull back to my physical body.

“ Ebony, Ebony are you okay? Open your eyes and look at me.” Sophia’s voice gets louder.
I open my eyes and realize I am back in Constance’s office. Sophia’s in a panic, shaking me and trying to wake me. I have never seen her like this before. I’m sure this is about as close to terrified as vampires can get.
With a huge sigh, “Ebony I’m so glad you’re okay. I’ve never sensed anything like that before, what the hell happened?” Sophia hugs me so tight. I can barely breathe.
“ I am okay, I needed my Grams and without knowing it, went to see her. My mother and father were there too. They all know that I’m pregnant, but they have confidence in me.”
I turn back and look at a little spot on the screen still frozen on the screen from the exam. In less than a year that will be my baby. I feel better now. I know I
