Instead, he rejected their baby and demanded that she end the pregnancy.
Now Marya is heading to the clinic, but will she make a decision she might regret?
The Pregnancy News That Changed Everything
Marya stood in the middle of the living room, holding a pregnancy test in her trembling hands. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the positive result again. She had imagined many different moments in her life, but she had never expected to face something like this. She was pregnant, and Isaiah was the father. All she wanted was to share the news with him and hope that they could face this new chapter together.
When Isaiah finally arrived, Marya immediately stood up. She had been waiting for him, rehearsing what she wanted to say, but now that he was standing in front of her, the words seemed difficult to find.
ISAIAH: “What’s going on, Marya? You look worried. Is something wrong?”
Marya took a deep breath and held out the pregnancy test.
MARYA: “Isaiah, I need to tell you something. I’m pregnant.”
Isaiah stared at the test, then looked directly at her. For a moment, he said nothing.
ISAIAH: “Pregnant? What are you talking about?”
MARYA: “I’m telling you that we’re going to have a baby. Isaiah, this is your child.”
Instead of showing happiness, Isaiah stepped back with an angry expression.
Isaiah Refuses to Accept His Baby
ISAIAH: “Don’t put this on me, Marya. I never agreed to have a child right now.”
Marya couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She had expected surprise, perhaps even fear, but she had never imagined that Isaiah would react so coldly.
MARYA: “What do you mean? You know we’re together. How can you stand here and act like this baby has nothing to do with you?”
ISAIAH: “Listen carefully. This is not my responsibility. I don’t want a baby, and I’m not ready to become a father.”
Marya’s eyes filled with tears.
MARYA: “But Isaiah, this is your baby. We created this life together. I thought you would at least be happy to hear that you’re going to be a father.”
Isaiah shook his head.
ISAIAH: “I am telling you right now that I am not keeping this baby. You need to end this pregnancy because I’m not staying in this situation.”
His words shattered Marya’s hopes. She looked at him, waiting for him to take back what he had said, but Isaiah showed no sign of changing his mind.
Marya Begs Isaiah Not to Walk Away
MARYA: “So that’s it? You’re just going to walk away? What about everything you told me before? What about the promises you made?”
ISAIAH: “People change their minds, Marya. I don’t want this responsibility. Don’t expect me to suddenly become someone I’m not.”
Marya looked down at the pregnancy test in her hand. She had imagined telling Isaiah the news and seeing him smile. Instead, she was standing in front of the man she loved, listening to him reject their child.
MARYA: “I never asked you for money or anything else. I just wanted you to stand beside me. I thought we would figure everything out together.”
ISAIAH: “Well, now you know how I feel. Do whatever you want, but don’t expect me to raise this child.”
Isaiah picked up his keys and walked toward the door.
MARYA: “Isaiah, please don’t leave like this. At least think about what you’re saying.”
He stopped for a second but didn’t turn around.
ISAIAH: “My decision is final.”
The door closed behind him.
Marya remained standing in the living room. The silence felt heavier than anything Isaiah had said. She slowly sat down on the couch and began crying. She placed one hand over her stomach, thinking about the tiny life growing inside her.
Marya Shares Her Pain With a Friend
For the next several hours, Marya barely moved. Her phone kept lighting up, but she didn’t feel like speaking to anyone. Eventually, she called a close friend and told her what had happened.
FRIEND: “Marya, are you okay? You sound like you’ve been crying.”
MARYA: “Isaiah knows. I told him about the pregnancy, but he doesn’t want the baby. He told me to end the pregnancy or accept that he won’t be around.”
FRIEND: “I can’t believe he said that. Marya, you shouldn’t have to make such an important decision because someone is threatening to leave you.”
MARYA: “I don’t know what to do. I thought he would support me. Now I feel completely alone.”
FRIEND: “Please don’t rush into anything. You need time to think, and you should speak with a doctor about your options. This is your decision, not Isaiah’s.”
Marya listened, but her mind was still filled with Isaiah’s words. She couldn’t understand how someone who had once promised to stand beside her could suddenly abandon her when she needed him most.
Marya Makes an Appointment at the Clinic
The following morning, she woke up early and looked at the pregnancy test sitting on her bedside table. She picked it up, stared at it, and started crying again.
She opened her phone and searched for the clinic’s contact information. After a long pause, she called and requested an appointment to discuss her pregnancy and available options.
When the appointment was confirmed, Marya sat quietly on the edge of her bed.
MARYA: “Maybe if I go there, I’ll finally understand what I should do. I can’t keep living with this fear.”
She got dressed, picked up her handbag, and headed toward the door.
Meanwhile, Isaiah was sitting with a friend when his phone rang.
FRIEND: “Did you talk to Marya about the baby?”
ISAIAH: “Yes. I told her exactly how I feel. I don’t want to become a father right now.”
FRIEND: “That’s a serious situation, Isaiah. You can’t just pretend the baby has nothing to do with you.”
ISAIAH: “I have my own plans. I’m not ready to sacrifice everything.”
FRIEND: “But what about Marya? She’s dealing with all of this emotionally. At least you should be there to support her while she makes her decision.”
Isaiah looked away.
ISAIAH: “I already told her what I want. I don’t know what else you expect me to say.”
His friend shook his head, disappointed by his response.
The Emotional Meeting With the Doctor
Back at the clinic, Marya checked in and sat in the waiting area. Around her, people were quietly speaking with their families, but she was alone. She held her handbag tightly and stared at the floor.
A nurse eventually approached her.
NURSE: “Marya? The doctor is ready to speak with you.”
Marya stood up slowly and followed her into the consultation room.
The doctor greeted her warmly and asked about her situation.
DOCTOR: “Before we discuss anything, I want you to understand that you don’t have to make a decision under pressure. We can talk through your options, your health, and any concerns you have.”
Marya’s eyes became watery.
MARYA: “The father doesn’t want this baby. He told me he would leave if I continued the pregnancy.”
DOCTOR: “I’m sorry you’re going through this. But your decision should be based on what you want and what is right for your health, not on threats or pressure from someone else.”
Marya looked down at her hands.
MARYA: “I came here because I thought I had made up my mind. But now that I’m sitting here, I’m not sure anymore.”
The doctor nodded gently.
DOCTOR: “That’s okay. We can take things one step at a time. You deserve accurate information and enough time to consider your choices.”
Marya began crying. For the first time since Isaiah had rejected her, she felt that someone was actually listening.
Isaiah Calls Just Before Marya’s Decision
Just then, her phone started ringing.
It was Isaiah.
She stared at his name on the screen, unsure whether to answer. After several seconds, she finally picked up.
MARYA: “What do you want, Isaiah?”
ISAIAH: “Where are you?”
MARYA: “I’m at the clinic. You told me you didn’t want this baby, so I’m here to discuss what happens next.”
There was a long silence.
ISAIAH: “You’re actually going through with it?”
Marya looked toward the doctor, then placed her hand over her stomach.
MARYA: “I don’t know anymore, Isaiah. You made me feel like I had no choice, but I need to think about my own future too.”
ISAIAH: “Marya, listen to me…”
Before he could finish, Marya received another call. It was her friend, who had just arrived outside the clinic.
Marya ended Isaiah’s call and stood up.
She looked at the doctor and asked one final question.
MARYA: “If I decide to continue this pregnancy, can I do it without his support?”
The doctor’s answer made Marya pause. She slowly looked down at the pregnancy test in her handbag, realizing that the decision ahead of her would change everything.
Her friend was now waiting outside, and Isaiah was still trying to reach her. Marya had never felt so torn between fear, heartbreak, and uncertainty.
Would she choose to continue her pregnancy despite Isaiah’s rejection, or would she make the decision Isaiah had demanded? And now that Isaiah knows she is at the clinic, will he show up before she makes her final choice?
