TOM
After the DR explained the risks of keeping the pregnancy, my excitement vanished, all the vivid pictures in my imaginations shuttered into a million pieces, there's no way I'm risking her life like that, I cannot and I will not gamble with her life.
" no, I am not giving up my baby, I can not I will never" Mercy shook her head frantically, looking at me with wide eyes, tears flowing down her cheeks, he eyes begged me to support her decision, my heart twisted, life has a way of mocking us, we didn't plan this baby, we only got the news about it a few minutes ago and we are already attached to it, then the cherry on top is that I have to choose who lives between my wife and my baby, who am I lying to I might lose them both if she delays the abortion.
