Oh shivers, Rachel thought to herself. This place gives me the creeps. But what choice do I have? I've lost all support, so I guess this is the only way out.
You see, 3 months earlier, she had slept with her long-term boyfriend, Phil. They both thought it would be the ultimate test of their love. But Rachel got a pregnancy scare. She was terrified.
She told Phil quietly the seguinte day. As expected, he was furious. She was extremely scared about what her family might say, so she kept it from them. 3 weeks later, Phil handed her $400, and told her, that if she didn't get an abortion, he would leave her. SO that's what landed Rachel in this spot.
Breathe deeply, Rachel, it's gonna be okay, she kept telling herself. This only takes a few minutes. In 5 minutos time, I can be outta here, without my parents ever knowing what's happened.
Yet, the mais she thought about what she was about to do, the guiltier she felt. Rachel had been brought up in a Christian family, and had been taught that abortion was wrong. Stop, Rachel, she told herself. This is the only way out. Just stop thinking about it.
But those little voices inside her head just wouldn't stop. One was saying 'Go ahead Rachel. It won't hurt you. It will just remove an inconvenience. And besides, you don't want Phil to leave you, do you now?' The other was saying 'Stop Rachel! You know abortion is wrong, and it leaves a lifelong scar. And that so-called inconvenience inside your womb is a child. A precious child created por the One who created you. And let's face it: whether you get this abortion or not, Phil is gonna leave you.'
Rachel's coração was racing at 100 miles an hora as she lay down on that bed. A nurse was rubbing her forehead, trying to comfort her. Rachel gripped the sides of the bed. As the doctor put the face mask on, she heard that small still voice. 'Rachel. Listen to me. Don't do this to yourself. This is just a thing Satan uses to torture you. It will leave you wounded for life. And besides, I gave you life. Why take away the life of another? Quick Rachel, there's still time to say no! Hurry, before that time runs out!'
As she heard that, she pushed up from the bed. 'No.' That's the only word she said before running from that building as fast as her legs could carry her. She ran all the way home, to hr room, and started crying.
Her mother came up a minuto later, and sat down on her bed. 'Honey, what's wrong?' Rachel hauled herself up, into her mum's arms and spilled the whole story. Mum didn't interrupt, she just listened. When Rachel was finished, she was crying harder than ever. Her mum said nothing, just enveloped her in a tight hug. 'Oh, sweetie...'
Later, por dinner, her whole family knew, and she was surprised por how supportive they were. They helped her through those hard nine moths, and they were all there when she delivered. Rachel named him Mathew and said 'He truly is a gift form God.'
They did live happily ever after. Rachel had 3 mais beautiful children, and there were plenty of fights,and Rachel would get as tired as a sloth, but the happy part is that they lived. They lived because Christ lives.
The End
