Lyla had been feeling restless for weeks. Her stomach was bloated, and she had a constant feeling of nausea. She finally decided to visit the doctor. After some tests, the doctor asked her to have an ultrasound. Lyla’s heart raced as she watched the screen while the technician performed the exam.
Suddenly, the technician’s expression changed, and she called the doctor. Lyla’s heart pounded in her chest as she waited for the doctor to return. She feared for her health and wondered what could be so wrong that she had to see a doctor. Lyla waited anxiously, feeling a sense of fear creeping over her. She tried to distract herself by looking around the room.
Finally, the technician returned with the doctor. She showed him the screen as she moved it away from Lyla. The doctor became serious, and after staring at the screen for a while, he just nodded at the technician, who hurriedly left the room. Lyla frowned. What the hell was going on?
Lyla, 17, had been feeling restless for weeks. Her stomach was bloated, and she had a constant feeling of nausea. She desperately tried to ignore it at first, thinking it was just a stomach bug, but when the symptoms persisted, she began to worry that something was seriously wrong with her. One day, while sitting in class, Lyla felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. It was so sudden and intense that she doubled over in pain. Her colleagues seemed concerned and asked if she needed help. Lyla was embarrassed to say anything and quickly composed herself, saying it was just a cramp.
After class, Lyla decided to go to the doctor. She had never been to the doctor alone before and was a little nervous. She tried to shake off her nerves and focus on getting the help she needed. Upon arriving at the clinic, she checked in and sat down to wait her turn. The waiting room was full of different types of people, and Lyla felt awkward. She wondered if anyone could tell she was sick. As she waited, she began to feel increasingly anxious. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with her, and she felt very alone.
Finally, it was Lyla’s turn to see the doctor. She was escorted to a small room and asked to sit on the examination table. A doctor entered the room soon after and asked what was wrong. Lyla was hesitant at first but eventually told the doctor about her symptoms. The doctor listened carefully and wrote down everything. She really made Lyla feel comfortable and taken seriously, so the doctor asked if she could do a physical exam. Lyla wasn’t sure at first, but after another painful cramp, she agreed.
So, the doctor did the exam and asked a few more questions. One of the questions was about Lyla’s sex life. Lyla was almost embarrassed to tell her, but she had a loving boyfriend, and they always used protection. She was sure this couldn’t be a pregnancy, as she also had an IUD. The doctor agreed and told her to get an ultrasound at the hospital as soon as possible. Lyla was a little shocked by the nomination. She had hoped to finish after a day, but now she had to find a way to skip school without them notifying her parents.
Lyla left the clinic feeling overwhelmed and scared. She’d never been to a hospital alone before, and thinking about it made her anxious. She knew her mom and dad would be working the next day, so she decided to call in sick to the school. Normally, her mother had to call the school, but Lyla had no other choice. She was very different from her but had to pretend to be her mother. Lyla always left the house before her parents, and as she didn’t want them to suspect anything, she did the same today. But instead of going to school, she hid in the garden shed. It was quiet enough there for her to call the school and say she couldn’t make it today.
To Lyla’s surprise, it worked, and as soon as her parents left for work, Lyla left the warehouse and went to the hospital. It was a short bus ride, but it felt like an eternity. Lyla’s heart was pounding in her chest when it was time for her to leave, and she slowly walked to the entrance. Upon arriving at the hospital, Lyla checked in and sat down to wait her turn. She was surrounded by people with all kinds of illnesses and felt even more nervous. She kept checking the time, hoping her turn would come soon, but the wait was longer than she expected. The waiting room was full of restless people and crying children.
After waiting for 30 minutes, Lyla walked up to the receptionist. She asked if her turn was coming, but the receptionist couldn’t tell her the exact time a doctor would come. This only made her more nervous. Finally, Lyla was called in for the ultrasound. The technician was kind and made her comfortable. She explained the procedure and what to expect.
The technician placed a cold gel on Lyla’s stomach and began to run the wand over it. Lyla watched the monitor closely, hoping to see something comforting. Lyla had no idea what she was looking at. She’d only had an ultrasound once before, at the gynecologist before they put in the IUD, but this ultrasound was different. She looked at the technician, but her facial expression revealed nothing. The pain was less intense now, and Lyla hoped it would all be over soon.
However, the technician’s expression became more and more serious as she conducted the ultrasound. Lyla’s heart sank. Deep down, she knew something was wrong, but before she could ask what was going on, the technician told her to wait while she saw the doctor, leaving Lyla alone in the room. Lyla waited anxiously, feeling a sense of fear creeping over her. She tried to distract herself by looking around the room. There were different types of posters and pamphlets on the walls, but her eyes always returned to the door.
Finally, the doctor entered the room, and Lyla prepared herself for the worst. The technician closely followed the doctor and showed him what she had seen, turning the screen away from Lyla. The doctor became serious, and they talked about several things that Lyla didn’t understand. Finally, the doctor turned to Lyla.
“Lyla, do you have someone we can call? Your parents, perhaps?”
Lyla was shocked. Why would they call someone for her? What was happening? The doctor noticed that she was scared and assured her that everything was fine. They only wanted to talk to her parents because of her young age. But Lyla refused. She said they could discuss everything directly with her. The doctor looked at the technician and simply nodded. After that, the technician left the room in a hurry. Lyla wondered what it was about and desperately wanted to get up and leave, but she still had gel on her stomach that needed to be wiped away. Lyla had a horrible feeling in her stomach. There was something else going on that they weren’t telling her. Why else would they want to call her parents?
She took a tissue and wiped the gel off her stomach. The doctor noticed and attended to her. After that, she got dressed and wanted to leave the room. The doctor shook his head and said she couldn’t leave yet. He asked if she could wait a bit and he would come back soon to discuss the results. Lyla didn’t like this but agreed to stay and wait. She needed to know what was going on anyway.
When the doctor returned, he brought shocking news for Lyla. He said she would have to wait a little longer because they had called the police. Lyla couldn’t believe it. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt like screaming. She felt so alone and helpless. She just wanted to leave this place and go home. She asked the doctor what the hell was going on one last time and demanded an explanation. What was happening to her, and why did they need to involve the police?
The doctor knew that Lyla needed to hear the truth sooner or later, and she deserved to know what was happening to her body. So he decided to just tell her. When she heard the words coming out of his mouth, she froze in shock.
“That’s impossible!” she exclaimed. She knew it couldn’t be real.
The doctor told Lyla that she was pregnant, and since they couldn’t contact her parents and Lyla was so young, they had to call the police. But Lyla told the doctor that she couldn’t be pregnant because she had an IUD, and it must all be a big misunderstanding. However, it was definitely not a misunderstanding. The doctor and technician had clearly seen the baby on the ultrasound and were 100% sure Lyla was pregnant. When they showed her the exam, Lyla felt like she was going to faint. How could this be happening?
The doctor explained that her IUD had fallen out and was no longer working properly. In fact, it had stopped working a while ago. Lyla was 10 weeks pregnant. She was still shocked, but the proof was there. She had to accept this now. When the police arrived, Lyla had already called her boyfriend, Jonas. He immediately came to see her and wanted to be there for her. Lyla was scared of what would happen next, and having him by her side made things a little easier. When the police arrived, they just wanted to ask her a few questions. Once they were sure that she and Jonas had a consensual relationship and she was safe, they offered her a ride back to Lyla’s house.
Lyla had to mentally prepare herself for the conversation she would have with her parents. Once they arrived at Lyla’s house, she was about to open the front door when her parents opened it. They had seen the police car in front of the house and wanted to know why it was there. When they realized that Lyla
and Jonas had just gotten out of the same car, their mouths dropped open.
“Honey, are you okay? What happened?” asked her parents.
Lyla told them that everything was fine and that they shouldn’t worry. But of course, they worried. Lyla explained that she was fine, but they just needed to talk about something, something that would change their lives forever. The four of them sat at the kitchen table, and everyone waited in silence for Lyla to say something. She was very nervous because she didn’t know how her parents would react to the big news. She loved them and they had a good relationship, but they could be a little strict at times. She was scared of what would happen next, but she knew she needed to tell them.
She took a few deep breaths and held Jonas’s hand tightly for comfort. Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at her parents, ready to tell them the truth.
“Mom, Dad, there’s something important I need to tell you.”
They looked at her with a worried look on their faces and nodded as if to encourage her to keep talking and tell them what she needed to get off her chest. She knew she had to do it now. There was no way back. She looked at her belly and placed her hand over it, imagining the little baby growing inside her.
“I’m pregnant,” she whispered.
At first, her parents thought they had misheard what she said, but when she looked them in the eye, it was clear they heard her correctly. Everyone was silent for a few seconds. It was dead silent in the room, and Lyla held her breath as she waited for her parents’ reaction. She didn’t know what to expect, but never in a hundred years could she have imagined they would react the way they did. They both looked at her with wide eyes, shocked and worried.
Lyla lowered her head and was already preparing for the lecture they were going to give her. But then something unexpected happened. Jonas put his hand on her shoulder, and she looked up again and saw that her parents’ expressions had changed. Their faces were full of joy, happiness, and excitement. They smiled and reached out to her, hugging her as tight as they could. Their voices were filled with genuine happiness, and they both began to cry.
Lyla felt relieved. She never expected them to react this way. Then her parents asked her a question that made her think: was she going to keep the baby? She looked at Jonas and said she still needed to make a decision. Her parents told her that no matter what she chose in the end, they would support her. Lyla was so happy that her parents were so kind about this, she could cry. They spent the rest of the night looking at Lyla’s old baby photos, reminiscing about the good old days.
It was an emotional day, and by the end of it, Lyla was exhausted. She decided that she would talk to Jonas the next day. She wanted to make a decision together with him. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she really wanted to keep the baby. She knew she was still very young, but she was slowly falling in love with the little life growing inside her. And now that she knew her parents were so supportive, she knew she could count on their help. Lyla was also sure that she wanted to do this together with Jonas. He had always supported her, but now Lyla truly knew that he would always be there for her no matter what. He had been so helpful and comforting at the hospital, and she knew he would protect her.
The next day, Jonas came as planned, and they talked in her room. Lyla was a little nervous to tell him that she was thinking about keeping the baby, but she wanted to be honest with him. In response, he just hugged her and said he agreed. They were going to do this together. Jonas told her that he was sure they would do a great job raising the baby together, and this only confirmed Lyla’s thoughts. She was relieved to see that they were on the same page and decided to tell her parents immediately.
Lyla’s parents were over the moon. They were so excited to finally become grandparents. They didn’t expect it to happen so soon, but they were totally ready for it. They promised Lyla and Jonas that they would be by their side during every stage of the pregnancy and that they could always ask for advice. In the following months, Lyla’s relationship with Jonas, as well as with her parents, improved significantly.
She had some interesting and in-depth conversations with her parents and got to know them much better. She was so grateful to have them by her side during her pregnancy. Lyla and Jonas decided they didn’t want to know the baby’s sex until it was born. They agreed that since the pregnancy itself was a surprise, they also wanted to keep the baby’s gender a surprise.
In the meantime, Lyla’s belly was growing like crazy. As her due date approached, Lyla became increasingly nervous. She had obviously never done anything like this before and could only think of all the dramatic births she had seen on television. She was a little scared, but she trusted that everything would be fine. She noticed how her body changed and became increasingly aware of the baby growing inside her stomach.
She was looking forward to finally meeting her beautiful daughter or son and felt more ready for it every day. There were just a few weeks left until the big day. Lyla took birth classes with Jonas, created a birth plan, practiced relaxation techniques, and prepared herself in the way that suited her best. All of this helped her relax and prepare for what would be one of the most special days of her life so far.
A few days before giving birth, Lyla was watching television at home when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She was immediately worried. She had had cramps before, but this was a different pain. It was much worse. What was happening? She was home alone; her parents were at work, and Jonas was at school. She called her mother, panicked, and her mother immediately came home. As she got up to get a glass of water, Lyla felt another cramp in her stomach.
It was so painful that she dropped the glass of water and spilled it on the floor. She groaned, irritated at having to clean up the water while she was in so much pain. But then she froze. She looked at the glass on the kitchen counter and saw that it was still full. She gasped and looked down at her feet, standing in a puddle of water on the floor, completely shocked. This could only mean one thing: her water broke.
Her mother arrived on time and took her to the hospital immediately, and Jonas and her father also came as soon as they could. When they arrived, she had gone into active labor. She was a little scared, but she knew she was in good hands. She was in a lot of pain, and it was only getting worse, but she was relieved to have Jonas by her side, and she knew her parents were waiting outside, and if she wanted to see them, she could. All of this helped her relax a little, and she felt ready for what was to come. As time passed, everything became a blur.
The pain was horrible, and the nurses were in and out of the room. Suddenly, a doctor came in and told Lyla that she could prepare to push now. Lyla knew this was it. The moment had arrived. She gave everything she had in her and pushed as hard as she could. It seemed endless, and she felt like she had no strength left inside her body. When suddenly, she heard something.
It was a very special sound, and she didn’t expect to hear it so soon. Lyla looked at the doctor and saw that he was holding a baby—her baby. The baby was crying, and after a few moments, the doctor gave her to Lyla. She saw that she was a beautiful girl, and she and Jonas decided to name her Sarah.
Sarah was a strong, healthy baby and could go home the same day. Lyla was very tired, but as soon as she got home, she could rest and take as much time as she needed. She recovered quickly, and she and Jonas got to know their little girl a little better every day.
Even though Lyla and Jonas were so young, they were great parents, and their families were proud of them. The two finished school and got married, and a few years later, they expanded their family. They had another son, Steve, and they all lived happy, healthy lives.
