    Crystal Humphrey

    I'm a mother, wife, sister, daughter, much like many of you. I was raised in church, spent time close to my heavenly Father, and time apart trying to go my own way. I'm thankful He never gives up on His children. I spent the majority of my life believing I had no talent of my own, but my husband talked me into trying my hand at writing since I love to read so much. I really didn't believe I could do it, but after much prayer I decided to give it a try. With the encouragement of my husband, the support of my children, and the advice of my sister, I produced a series of short stories to try my hand at writing. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

      •Chapter 1•

      Of course I love you, baby. We're going to spend the rest of our lives together after graduation. We both know this. Come on. Please?

      Abby Grace thought about that one statement her boyfriend had made to her after prom three months earlier. He had assured her he loved her more than life itself and the two of them would be together forever. He wanted to marry her, have a family with her, and spend his life with only her. Convinced, she gave herself to him that night, in the backseat of his brand new mustang his parents bought as an early graduation present.

      She should have known better. She was smarter than that. But she had honestly believed Bryson when he said those things. They had been together for several months already and it wasn't the first time he had pressured her to have sex. Abby Grace had decided long ago not to get caught up in the sex craze that befell some of her other classmates. There was too much hurt and drama when the couple split and moved on to other partners.

      Instead, she concentrated on her studies. Her only goal was to get into Harvard, follow in her father's footsteps, and become the lawyer he wanted her to be. An only child, both parents had been disappointed by the fact that she was a girl. The disappointment increased when it was discovered they would have no more. Abby Grace felt that disappointment everyday of her life. So she worked twice as hard, studied twice as long, and had graduated just last week valedictorian of her senior class.

      Now, she sat in a sterile waiting room that only increased her depressed mood, remembering that phrase Bryson had used over and over. Where was Bryson now? Not where he said he would be. Not with her, sitting in one of these drab, gray seats, Abby Grace thought. The moment she had informed him of her pregnancy, he had done the typical teenage guy thing and ran.

      He babe, if you got knocked up, that's on you, he had said. I don't want nothing to do with that.

      And a week later, she was sitting alone in an abortion clinic, and Bryson was dating someone else. Abby Grace sighed. She hadn't told anyone else. She did what she always did. She would take care of the problem herself. She felt a little uneasy, thinking of her unborn child as a problem, but when she called the nurse at the clinic assured her it wasn't yet a baby. She used the word embryo to describe what was forming in Abby Grace's stomach.

      Walking into the clinic, however, there were protestors screaming things like baby killer at her over and over. One sign read life begins at conception. Is that true, she wondered. Could I really be killing a baby?

      The thought began to worry her as she sat wringing her hands together. Eighteen was just too young
