tell her he loved her, to tell her anything. But he just helped her into her room and walked away. What was she supposed to make of that?
She sat down on her hospital bed but refused to lie down. She’d been lying down too long already. She didn’t want to feel like an invalid anymore. There was a woman sitting in a chair across from her, and her mother was to her right on a couch along with her stepfather. “Let’s get this intervention over with. I don’t want to be here,” Tanya barked out, looking between the three people who were about to ask her a million questions she didn’t know how to answer. It was the counselor that spoke.
“Tanya, you are 18, so, your parents cannot force you to be here. But they strongly feel that you need to talk to someone, and from what I’ve heard, I agree.”
Tanya scoffed. “Only one of them is my parent.” She didn’t know what had gotten into her. She had never actually said anything like that before. While she had never gotten close to Danny’s father, she had never particularly disliked him. She looked at the two of them sitting there, and they looked upset. She could tell she had hurt them with her statement. And she decided that she needed to try and go through the session just for them.
“I’m sorry, I’m just upset. I’ll go ahead and stick around and see how it goes.” Tanya nodded to the counselor.
“Alright, well, my name is Dr. Annette Barber. I think that your mother has some concerns about how you are handling the current situation and how you got yourself into that situation. Would you like to start this off, ma’am?” The counselor nodded to her mother to start talking. As she did, Tanya couldn’t meet her eyes.
“Darling, I had no idea you and Tim were over and that you were seeing someone else. I should have been more involved in your life, and I’m afraid the move may have changed you or make you act out. I need to know if you were being safe or not. You could have gotten more than pregnant from this behavior. Who is it that talked you into doing this?”
The counselor put up her hand to stop her mother. “I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s start with the move and how you felt about that.”
“I didn’t think it was fair that she put someone else’s child ahead of me. I liked my home. But I made some friends here, so it’s not as big a deal anymore.” Tanya shrugged.
“Okay, so have you been acting out at all in your opinion or done anything you wouldn’t normally?” the counselor probed.
“Not really, no. I wasn’t a virgin before.” She directed that one at her mother.
“So, what happened; was it an accident? Did a condom break or something?”
Tanya shook her head at Dr. Barber. “I’m on birth control, but I guess that wasn’t infallible. I didn’t know I was…” Tanya trailed off, not able to complete the sentence. She felt an ache in her chest thinking about it all.
“So, if you don’t mind me asking, how are you feeling about the loss of the pregnancy?” Dr. Barber said it softly.
“I’m not sure. I’m still processing it. I didn’t even know that I was. On the one hand I understand that there was nothing that could have been done to save the baby and that I may be too young to be a mother. But I do feel like I’m suddenly missing something I never knew I had. I’m not sure what to think of it. I don’t think the father knows what to do or say either.” Her eyes got wide as she realized what she said. There was no holding it back now. It felt like she was about to vomit the truth all over the room. They had barely left her side, so they would know the father was someone she was close to.
Tanya looked over at her mother and saw the push in her eyes. She wanted to know who he was. She was furious. She would never believe that he didn’t mean for this to happen. But maybe if she knew who it would change things. It was time to get the burden off her chest.
