The next morning I woke in bed alone, the sound of the little droplets of water running in the shower beginning to fill my ears. I sat up and looked around, wondering if the night before was just a dream. I looked down and saw the dried cum on my legs and the torn black teddy on the floor and smiled to myself. With a new confidence, I walked out of bed and over to the shower in the bathroom. James was in the shower. When he saw me come near, he opened the door to let me in.
"Good morning, Babes." I smiled wide at him.
"Good morning to you too Master." He laughed and pulled my naked body into the shower with him.
"You don't have to call me Master until we get back in bed, Xiara. Unless of course, you want to. Then by all means, go ahead." I laughed a little, walking under the water.
"I like Babes a little better." He caressed my cheek.
"I believe I do too."

"James, what is this?!" I screeched happily across the apartment as I ran to him. James sat in our empty bed, reading a book when I came running out of the bathroom to show him what I found. He looked up and smiled happily at me.
'Took you long enough to find it, Xiara." He took my left hand and kissed it.
"Do you like it?" I grinned.
"Oh James, this is the most beautiful engagement ring I have ever seen!" James set his book down on our nightstand and stood up.
"That being said," he began as he got down on one knee, "Xiara, will you be my wife?" I grinned happily and held back a tear.
"James...yes! Yes I will marry you!!" James stood and kissed me deeply. Nothing could keep the tears of joy from running down my face. I was so happy.

"James, I'm pregnant." I whispered to him one night after we made love again. It had been three months since my birthday. I was ecstatic. James sat up in bed.
"You're what?" I sat up and turned around.
"I'm pregnant Babes!" He sat up and stared out into space for a little while, as if he didn't completely grasp what I said. Finally he lay back down and turned away.
"That's wonderful, Xiara...goodnight." My mouth dropped.
"You mean...you don't care?" James only sighed.
"Xiara, we will discuss this in the morning." I felt a sharp stab through my heart. I could tell instantly that James didn't want a baby. I pulled the blankets off of me and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I then sat in the shower and turned it on, letting the sound of the water running muffle my tears. I tried hard to rationalize James's behavior but it was to no avail. James didn't want me pregnant, and he had no problem showing it. I tried to think of ways to ease the situation.
"Okay, Xiara," I said to myself, wiping my tears, "there has to be something...he loves me, right? We're getting married...so we can handle having a baby...right? There has to be some way to convince him that I'm ready for this baby. And we'll have our own family! We'll stay together through this little bump and everything will be all right...won't it? Yes, it will be all right, and it will be wonderful. James will fall in love with our baby once the baby starts showing and he will realize that I'm ready to carry his childβI'm more than ready!"

I felt a warm hand on my shoulder the next morning as I woke to see James's face. He looked a little worried.
"Xiara, you didn't come back to bed last night." I yawned and smiled a little.
"I know, I just didn't want to wake you is all." I sat up on the sofa and suddenly felt a jerk in my stomach. I threw my hand over my mouth and sprinted for the bathroom, retching sounds echoing across the apartment. James followed behind me slowly towards the open bathroom door.
"Morning sickness," he mumbled under his breath. "You're pregnant all right..." I heard him but didn't bother to answer, still vomiting uncontrollably for a few more moments. When my stomach was cleared, I flushed the toilet and washed my face. James still stood in the doorway, pale as a sheet. I dried my face and turned to look at him.
"Sorry about that." He shook his head.
"Xiara, you aren't ready for a baby." I felt my heart sink. My eyes widened to plead with James as I walked over to him and pouted.
"You don't know that, James! Please, let me have this baby!!" He sighed and looked down, scratching the back of his head.
"I'll see if I can't get you a doctor's appointment on Monday." I smiled softly at him and relaxed as I watched him leave the room with his phone, going to find the phone book in the other room.

Monday came by fast. I sat excited in the car with James as we drove into the city.
"Did you find a really good doctor, Babes? Does the doctor have good reviews? What about staff? Does he have good staff? Will he be delivering our baby?" James remained silent. I leaned over and nudged his shoulder with my forehead.
"I love you Babes." James shot me a horrible glare.
"Sit up in your seat, Xiara." I straightened to attention, another stab piercing through my heart. I held back a tear as I looked out of my window and stayed silent for the rest of the ride.
"James, this isn't a doctor's office..." I said as he pulled up. It was definitely not a gynecologist's office, and the serious look on James's face told me that he knew what he was doing all along. It was an abortion clinic.
"James, I'm not doing this." I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door to get out of the car. James reached out and grabbed me, yanking me back into the car and slamming the door.
