she had doubts about herself. could she even CONSIDER herself to be a good mother? her religion was one of agnosticism, but she figured if there was a god, if there was someone or something that controlled her life, her f a t e—–then perhaps she would have had a child seven years ago. was that a test for her to take her life more serious now that she had grown, she’d become wiser, and she was perhaps more MATURE? it was a struggle to know that she carried around this essential piece of her life inside her, depending on her to take care of them. but it wasn’t so much that, that worried her. it was that she was not only undergoing the stress of not k n o w i n g if she’d be a good mother or not, but also her child’s father was in limbo with the entire situation because of his actions with another woman. they were closer, that was true, but so many things were still unanswered and it was all on HER to make the calls here.
saraya sat on the sofa, fingers fidgeting with the frayed hem of her black craft cult hoodie. her eyes dared not to meet drew’s, not in the moment she asked his opinion on her ability to be a g o o d m u m , at least. but when he replied with what appeared to be quite a genuine answer, she looked up. eyes met, an electric spark in her chest causing her breath to hitch in her throat. her hands moved to the protruding stomach that was blatantly obvious to anyone who even glanced at her. twenty weeks along; she was HALFWAY THERE.
“ i jus’ don’t wanna let ‘im ‘ave this b u g g e r e d up life because of me. don’t get me wrong. i love ‘im wif all my ‘eart already... but what if i’m not good at this? ” a loud sigh left chapped lips while she looked back down; then it dawned on her she said HE. that was a detail she wanted to keep quiet for a little bit longer while she debated on things. not that she wanted to intentionally keep the gender of drew’s child from him. it was a m u c h more complex reasoning than that. she was trying to decide on if drew’s name that already spanned over four generations would CARRY ON with this one as well.
