GunjanThe Matter
It was her 18th birthday when she decided that she would clearly tell the matter to her lover. With high expectations of happiness, she proceeded to inform the lover that she was pregnant with his baby. To her dismay, things did not turn the way she thought.
Deception
In turn, she got to know that her baby’s father could not accept her as he was already married. This turned out to be a shock for the young mom-to-be. Never in her wildest dreams, had she imagined her lover wearing a mask of deception. With this, her relationship came to an abrupt end.
The Offer
Nevertheless, the lover offered to raise the child with his name. But rejected the idea of accepting Genevieve as his wife because he had a wife already. He did not want to leave his first wife but was courteous enough to show his concern and responsibility to Genevieve.
Advanced
With time, her pregnancy advanced which made her make a decision. She decided to leave school once her belly started to show. Little did she know, the bump of her belly could create a bump on her future plans as well. Nevertheless, she stuck to her plan so that she could escape the questions that were yet to be asked about her pregnancy.
Struggles
Genevieve went through the hardest phase of life all on her own. With zero support from the other parent of the baby, she tried to take care of herself in every possible way. She wanted to raise her child, therefore, she learned some lullabies from her grandmother.
The Name
After 8 months of the real struggle, Genevieve thought of admitting herself into St. mary’s Mercy Hospital located in Gary, Indiana. It was the right time for her to deliver her baby. While she was asked to lay down on the bed, she remembered a teacher named Margaret Ann, she had in high school. She used to admire her the most and if she had a girl child, she would name her after her teacher’s name.
