Teen Mother by Celestina A. (best english books to read for beginners txt) 📖

YOU THINK IT’S A JOKE, HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID AND SLUTTY” and she said “I’m not a slut if I’m a slut you’re a whore”.

I slapped her across her face and said “don’t you ever talk to me like that EVER in your whole entire life and that dumbass that got you pregnant is going to help you with that baby when I’m around or when Mrs. Johnson is babysitting” and she said “ok Jordan chill out” and I said “NO I’M NOT GOING TO CHILL OUT THIS IS BAD REALLY BAD”. Me and her kept arguing and arguing but after a while I just stormed out of there and then Mrs. Johnson Said “Jordan are you ok” and I said “no my little sister is 2 months pregnant going on 3 and I don’t know what to do anymore, I don’t know if I should send her to a program for teenage pregnant girls or something I just don’t know what to do” and she said “we’ll figure it out I don’t want you to give up on her yet” and I said “how can I look at my pregnant little sister, I mean I never dealt with something like this before I mean she’s just a kid having a baby” and she said “everything will be ok” and Jason said “you dealt with all of our problems and we always got threw them together as family” and I said “well not this time she can figure it out on her own”. About 2 weeks later Leslie was starting to get pains and I was fed up with her Bullshit already I mean she’s acting like she’s a grown up now that she’s pregnant and just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean she’s a grown up. Another thing is that everyone is telling me you should help her and that you should be taking her to the doctor’s appointments and I don’t have time and plus she can take care of herself, I got a phone call from Jason saying that if I can take Leslie house shopping and I said to him “why do you want me to take her and why is she going house shopping and he said “that she wants to be a grown up and she needs a place to live and that she can’t live in the same place with someone who doesn’t want to help her” and I asked “if Leslie was right there so I can talk to her” and he said “that she was at the doctors” and I said “ok fine I’ll go pick her up”.

I drove up to the parking lot and I went up the elevator to the floor that Leslie was on and I waited till she got out and after a few minutes she was out and I walked up to her and I said “ready to go house hunting” and she said “what are you doing here, I thought Jason was supposed to be coming to get me” and I said “look I know I haven’t been there for you but I promise that I won’t back out but you’re not buying a house, me and Mrs. Johnson are going to buy the house we already found a few houses but we need all of you guys to come and I usually don’t let the boyfriend come to the house but he’s the father of your baby and he needs to be around her/him and I’ll talk to his parents and see if he can get a job because he’s like 15 (he’s 2 years older than her) and he is old enough to get a job and make money to buy the baby stuff like clothes and stuff but I mean I need to show you how to take care of a baby and the bad thing is I’m going to have to homeschool you or online school”. Leslie was a little pissed off because she didn’t answer me the whole ride home and Leslie is tough kid, she will never be angry with me well not for a long time anyway and as I was waiting for her to answer me she finally said something “look Jordan the reason I was gonna find a house was because I wanted to be an adult and I knew you didn’t want to help so I asked Jason if he can help me find a house because he’s the only one that would help me” and I said “Leslie look at me I promise that I will never turn my back on you and I’ll help you threw this pregnancy ok” and she said “deal thanks Jordan and he doesn’t know that I’m pregnant” and I looked at her and said “but I thought why was he at the hospital” and she said “because I told him I got sick from the food from school” and I said “Leslie this is serious and invite him to dinner and we’ll tell him but I think you should tell him gently don’t get him all freaked out”.

Chapter 11: The sit down

2 weeks later, Leslie was finally going to tell her boyfriend that she is pregnant and she’s going to do it because it’s his baby and I don’t want to tell him the consequences. “Leslie come on you said you would do it and I told you what day and today is the day so come on” I said to Leslie and she said “I know but do we really need to tell him right now” and I said “yes because he needs to help you with this baby” and she said “I don’t want to though” and I pulled her arm and said “come on your wasting time” and I drove her to the restaurant and we both got off the car and she was wearing a dress so that way he won’t tell that her stomach got bigger. We walked up to the table and he said “hey babe and the girl that yelled in my face at the hospital” and I said “hi and hello you must be his parents” and the lady said “hi im Denise and this is my husband William and this is my daughter Janie and that’s her dog crystal and that’s her brother Michael and this is my newborn Mary” and I said “you have a big family and it’s nice to meet all of you” and her husband said “we would have brought all our family but they’re in school right now” and I said “how many kids do you have?” and he said “we have 10” and I said “wow that’s a lot of kids um why don’t we sit down and order” and Denise said “we already ordered and who are you?” and I said “oh sorry I’m Jordan this is my sister Leslie and my brothers would have come but this conversation doesn’t include them” and she said “oh yes why are we here” and I looked Leslie and she said “Babe I have something to tell but don’t get upset” and he said “why would I get upset” and she took a deep breath and said “I’m pregnant with your baby” and everyone stood quiet for like 5 minutes and the mother said “is this a joke” and I said “no its not a joke, the day that Leslie went to the hospital wasn’t because she was hurt in sports or anything the doctor came out to tell me that she was pregnant and I was angry, upset, and I was terrified and when she told it was from your son I exploded and I wanted to hurt him but I stood back and the doctor said that she got the test results and it his baby” and the dad said “well what do you suppose we do”.

Leslie said “the reason we came here today was to tell you I was pregnant from your son and I am 2 months and 4 weeks pregnant and I think the responsible thing he should do is get a job and help me with the baby and if he doesn’t help with the baby or doesn’t do anything I’m taking him to court and he’s going to be charged for getting me pregnant” and we looked at his parents and I said “so are we going to compromise or are we going to fight and Leslie doesn’t want an abortion or adoption she wants to keep the baby” and her boyfriend said “why do you want to keep it” and she said “because I’m going to feel guilty for not keeping him or her” and he said “well I guess were fighting” and the dad said “no you ain’t, you’re going to help provide for that baby its yours now and you need to be her side” and Leslie said “no its ok if he wants it to be like that I guess I’ll see you in court” and the mom said “wait, he’ll help” and we both looked at him and he said “fine I’ll help with the baby but don’t tell anyone at school about this” and I said “ I’m homeschooling her because she can’t go to school because she’s pregnant” and he said “ ok but still don’t tell anybody” and Leslie said “what am I going to ruin your reputation at school or something” and he said “no I just don’t want no one to know” and she said “ I’ll call  you later” and we left.

2 months later, he has a job, he is trying to get his license but you have to be 16 to take the test but he’s practicing and we finally found a house we had to rebuild it. It had 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, and a backyard, now it has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and they all have bathtubs, and a huge backyard so there’s a bedroom for me and the baby , one for Jason, one for Leslie, the baby and maybe Aaron (Leslie’s boyfriend) one for Mrs. Johnson, and one for the twins. So everyone has a bedroom and no one is crowded like we used to be Leslie is having a girl and she is excited and I am too but I’m still waiting till that baby gets out and see if she’s going to be good at being a mother and if Aaron is going to be a good father. They been taking parenting classes for teens but I don’t think they really know what they are doing so when they get home I teach them how to feed the baby and I been letting her take care of her baby brother because so she can see how to take care of a baby and she’s doing good but the boyfriend needs some help I mean he has the feeding thing down but changing the baby and taking it a bath I don’t think he knows how to do it but hopefully he can get through it. The parents have been coming from time to time to bring Leslie food and baby clothes and baby stuff but they were boy stuff so I’m guessing Aaron didn’t tell
