Kristen was a highly respected police officer in Brooklyn. She was known for her firm and strict personality since she had a serious job and a bad past with her family. Her family was abusive and didn’t treat her right. Kristen was afraid of being a mother in the future because of it. She didn’t want to carry the generational trauma.

Was it her selfishness or generosity?…

You thought she’d soften since she was your girlfriend now. But she hadn’t. She was still firm.

Yeah, there were times when she was so sweet with you. Her touch, kiss and whispered words were affectionate. They made you weak in the knees.

After an intense night with her, you started feeling nauseous constantly. Always puking, craving sweets. Kristen found it weird but she couldn’t find the courage to say it. She was nervous.

You decided to take a pregnancy test just to make sure. It turned out… positive. (Consider that women are able to get each other pregnant in this universe.)

You were happy at first, excited to tell Kristen about it. Until the evening she came home from work.

You two sat at the dinner table and you started speaking, eventually telling her that you’re pregnant.

“So yeah… I am pregnant…” you mumbled with a soft voice.

Kristen felt her stomach twisting. She gripped the edge of the table tightly in frustration, nervousness and desperation. It was her biggest fear coming true. She tried to hide her anger and desperation but couldn’t obviously.

“You’re what?” she said in that firm voice. The one that you hated and the one that didn’t exactly point to… good consequences and things…
