My names Aella, I’m 15, and pregnant. I have a beautiful 18 month old daughter. I’m not just pregnant though, I’m pregnant with Quadruplets.
I remember the Joy I felt when I first found out I was pregnant with my first child. The most amazing feeling ever. Me and my boyfriend moved into a tiny basement flat with my Step-Sister, who I will call Lexie. Lexie helped me find an amazingly supportive Midwife, and I was happy, My boyfriend was happy and I could see a good future for me, leaving behind my abusive past.
26 weeks ago, I fell pregnant again. I originally thought that I was expecting twins, but at my 3rd scan, its was revealed that I’m having Quadruplets. I was happy, but my boyfriend wasn’t. He pushed me, trying to get me to have an abortion, but I said no. He left. He didn’t just leave me, he left the country, flew to his Canadian cousins. I was stuck in a tiny basement flat, with Lexie and my daughter. I felt hopeless.
But now, I’m living in a beautiful 6 bedroom house out in the country, thanks to my Mother and Farther realizing house much I was struggling. And I’m looking forward to my future. School may be a pain, my boyfriend may be a pain, but Me and My children are going to live a happy life.
