Keeping the Twins, Dumping the Deadbeat

Synopsis

During my junior year, the pregnancy test showed two lines, and the ultrasound revealed twins. I handed the results to my boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, trembling. He called home eight times, but no one answered. At 2 a.m., his dad finally texted back. [Get rid of it.] Ryan was silent for a full minute, then said, "I'll listen to my dad." At the clinic, I bled out. In the last second before I lost consciousness, I heard the nurse scream, "Her blood pressure has gone." I died. But then I opened my eyes again. The calendar showed there were three days to go until the morning I found out I was pregnant. This time, I touched my flat stomach and dialed the first number, not his.
