Her mom and dad always told her how wonderful Granite Falls is and how happy they have been here. They were right. Jessie likes this place too. It’s very quiet and peaceful.
Finally she has the time to think about the decisions she has to make. Right before she went to Granite Falls she had done a pregnancy test and it was not a surprise that she was pregnant indeed. She told herself many times what a fool she’d been, but that doesn’t matter anymore. She can’t turn back the clock, she has to deal with it whether she likes it or not.
She gets torn between conflicting feelings. When she places her hand on her belly and thinks what’s growing inside her she’s overcome with awe and joy. This small human being has already changed her and she starts to understand what it’s like to love someone unconditional. But the last few years Jessie worked hard to achieve where she is now and she’s not ready to give up now she almost reached her goal. A baby will ruin everything she worked for.
