Megan Renee
"Please, just let me hold her," she pleaded, "just once?" "I'm sorry," replied the plump nurse coldly, "but I have my orders, and besides, it will only make things that much worse." To an outsider, it was a heart-wrenching scene. To the hospital, it was something that they dealt with on a daily basis. To her family, it was a mistake that never should have happened. To Sara, it was a day that changed her life forever. "Katie, I can't look-tell me what it says," requested Sara Holten. "Do you really want to know?"asked her best friend Katie Landiman, comparing the results to the package instructions. "I have to know, I don't have a choice here." "It's positive Sara, you're pregnant," Katie said reaching out to comfort her friend with a hug, wishing she could help more. "How could you do this to us?" was the only thing Mr. and Mrs. Holten said when Sara told them. Her mother cried, and her father just turned away from her and didn't say anything. Her boyfriend Joel just reminded her that he had a football scholarship, and that he was in no position to take care of a child. He offered to pay for her to 'take care of it', and she left before he could say another word.
"Please, just let me hold her," she pleaded, "just once?" When the day came for Sara to give birth, no one brought her flowers. No one came to see the miracle, no one even called. There were no congratulations, and tears of happiness. Only tears of sadness afterward when she realized that she would probably never see her baby after today. At seven months, she really started to show, and baggy shirts and jeans, would not work anymore. Her parents decided that it was time to go to the home, and Sara was ready to get out of that house. It was a little more comforting at the home, knowing that all the other girls had a reason to be there also. She made a few friends, but didn't want to get too close to anyone, knowing that she would probably never see them again after it was all over.
