David couldn't bear it. His precious girlfriend sobbing in his arms again, being wrenched about on the inside, he felt so helpless. He had been in love with her from the first time they had spent a night together. It wasn't about the sex, they hadn't even done it that first night. They just sat in his room all night, listening to music, drinking hot chocolate, talking and looking at the stars from his skly-light window. Her laugh was infectious. He'd give anything to hear her laugh again right now. He longed for yesterday.
As Tori talked things over with her housemates, she could almost see herself as two different people. The Tori who wanted to keep things as they are, have a baby in six months time and become a mum. Then there was the Tori who wanted to get back to her life as she liked it already. The independent, easy-going,laugh-a-minute girl, enjoying living away from home, seeing her friends when she wanted, going out, even going to college. She'd give anything to go back to that...or would she?
Her dad went into business mode as soon as she told them. They were more worried now that it would be too late to have a termination, if she still wanted one. Tori knew her parents would still help her if she kept the thing that was now definately a baby, but she didn't want to do it just for them. She wanted her life back as it was, she wasn't ready to write off her education, career, chance of making a decent living doing what she wanted and then having kids when she was sure about it. She agreed to go to the nearest women's hospital two days later.
David came with her again. There was no doubt he cared about her unconditionally, they had broken up over the Christmas holidays for nine long weeks, both needing to confirm to themselves that they wanted to be together. David had become more posessive since term had started again, clinging to Tori and not wanting her to go out with her frinds without him going too. He didn't like her having male friends anymore, it was a big deal where he hadn't been bothered before. She had wanted more freedom, she had got used to not seeing him all the time while they were on Summer holidays and living so much further apart, she wanted to hang out with just the girls or go out for a few drinks without feeling guilty and like she had to tell him where she was every minute of the day. They had both become so unhappy with the situation they had agreed to try things apart for a while. Her head had been telling her one thing and her heart the other. The weeks apart were torture, they saw each other, but didn't kiss or sleep together and it just hadn't felt right. The chemical attraction between them had been there from the start, they had gone from introductions to the beginning of a romantic whirlwind relationship; they couldn't be just good friends.
When Tori thought about the dates and how they matched up, she knew that the first time they had made love after splitting up was when this little baby had been created. They had moved togther in such a passionate and desperate way, getting to know each other again, remembering the pleasure from the little things they did to each other. It wasn't dirty or rough or sleazy as it sometime was, just deep longing and love mixed with the physical need for each other. She couldn't tell anyone how she knew it had been that night, it was just there within her and nothing could change that now.
All too soon it was Tuesday and she was waiting on the ward to see the doctor. They asked her all the questions she was expecting and then some she found more difficult, like why she had decided on a termination. She stumbled through and found it easier to explain than she had thought. They obviously had heard it all before. She supposed there was always a danger that if they turned someone down they could go somewhere else or somewhere dodgy or not want the baby when it came. Her paperwork was completed and she was given those two little pills to swallow with some water. They would start the process, make everything easier on Thursday when she had to go again.
There was no turning back now.
Final installment tomorrow!
