Taylor rolled over in her bed, and sighed when she felt the place her boyfriend should have been. She sat up and pulled her knees to her chest. She looked over at the clock. It read 9:00am. Chad's flight left the hour before. He was on his way back to their home town of Alberquerque, New Mexico. She still hadn't told him. She had had four weeks to muster up the courage to tell him, but at her last opportunity, she chickened out. She stood up suddenly and rushed into the bathroom, with her daily case of morning sickness. After she was finished, she say on the bathroom floor,trying not to cry. She thought of the last thing Chad told her before he left, ending their relationship...

*The Night Before*

"I'm sorry,babe, but I gotta go." Chad held Taylor close to him, not wanting her to feel alone.

"Chad... I have something to tell you." Taylor teared up and looked into his eyes. "I-" She was cut off.

"Taylor... this is hard, but I think we should break up. Who knows how long it'll be 'til we see each other again." She was hurt and didn't know what to say. She nodded her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Hey." He wiped some of her tears away and smiled sadly." You're a big girl. You're in college now, and no matter how much it hurts big girls don't cry."

Taylor smiled sadly and subjected herself to the tears she had been fighting. She would have seven and a half months to cry and then she had to be strong for the little piece of her and Chad she was bringing into the world.
