Kat was soo scared of telling her dad about the pregnancy, at 18 he expected her to go to college, to get an education, to get a job, move out and be happy furthering her life. She wouldn't be doing that how he wanted and she defiantly wouldn't be doing it in the order he wanted, she was screwed! While Kat took a minute to laugh at the irony of that thought, reality crashed around her as her father's voice called to her from the living room,
"Kat come in her baby, I want to show you some colleges I thought you would like, but you know you could always go to my old college, Virginia State University home of the Trojans!" She could hear the smile in his voice, he was looking forward to her going to school, he wanted to see her in her cap and gown, she was so going to disappoint him.
She took a deep breath and looking down at the pregnancy test, walked into the living room to face her dad. He was sitting on the couch, smiling down at the laptop computer screen, she knew there must be dozens of college tabs on the screen and her dad was excited about them all. Kat had a fairly good looking dad, thick full dark hair, a small belly, but otherwise good poster and stature, he looked up smiling and ready for a fun afternoon looking at colleges with his daughter. But he couldn't miss the miserable look on her face, and the white plastic in her hands, he knew exactly what it was, he knew what it was when his wife held it 18 years ago and he knew it now as it sat in his daughters shaky hands.
