Chel + Tulio = Eugene
Unfortunately Chel doesn’t really want a baby.
Um hopefully part of a series or something. Idk.

Chel is glaring at a pregnancy test.
Maybe if she glared at it long enough it’ll change from a positive to a negative.
The stick refuses to change and Chel flings it as hard as she can at the bathroom wall.
-
Chel has thought about calling Tulio a lot. She’s imagined the conversations they’ve had and it always badly even as a fantasy.
She’s gone four months without talking to the man and she isn’t going to start now.
It doesn’t stop her from thinking about it though.
-
She’s become a shut-in ever since discovering she’s pregnant. She refuses to go out unless absolutely necessary. She knows she can’t keep doing this though. Someone would find out and it’d be spread around.
But Chel doesn’t go out any time soon.
-
The baby is a boy and she isn’t sure what to feel.
Pride? Love? Happiness?
She feels things but they seem to be a bit of everything.
Fear. Anger. Apathy.
Chel’s not sure.
But her baby’s a boy.
-
Her roommate made sure she got to the hospital. Her roommate was there for the delivery. She even held her hand. And Chel is grateful because she doesn’t have anyone.
Her roommate got one look at the baby before she shook her head and left the room, muttering about needing a smoke.
Chel wants a smoke too.
The baby is healthy though so that’s good. At least.
-
It’s cold as Chel feels a stray tear roll down her cheek. She wipes it and lets out a shaky sigh before setting the baby carrier down. She doesn’t want to do it. She doesn’t want to leave her baby.
“I’m sorry momma is such a selfish woman,” she tells him, knowing he won’t understand a word. “I love you even if it doesn’t mean much but I do.”
Her son just coos.
“I love you and I’m sorry I can’t be a better mom but I think,” she trails off as she stares at the door. “I think this is better for you.”
Steadying her nerves she gives the door a quick knock before taking a step back and slinking away into the dark before anyone can open the door.
