Serenity sighed, placing a hand on her belly. “Paul, the baby is already here,” she said firmly. “It’s not going to disappear like magic. This baby is coming into the world, whether people like it or not. Everyone here has suffered because of our parents‘ mistakes.

“But at some point, we have to start living our own lives. Good or bad, they’ve already lived theirs. Just because their lives are a mess doesn’t mean ours have to be. One day, you’ll grow up, take control of your own life, and make your own decisions–whether our parents like it or not. You’ll see.”

Your girlfriend can wait, and so can you. Only time will tell if what you two have is strong enough. But please, don’t use my pregnancy as an excuse for us to stay.”
