wkward! Situation<br />
Mum, I need<br />
to tell you<br />
something.<br />
“Would you like another cup of tea?”<br />
I ask. This is the third cup of tea I am<br />
offering her. I have to keep her occupied.<br />
I had all this planned out, I knew<br />
exactly what to say and how to say it but<br />
now looking at her, I am just drawing a<br />
blank.<br />
She is so excited about my upcoming scholarship in Australia that<br />
she can barely notice my nervousness. I cannot believe that I am<br />
the one to wipe out that smile off her face, maaan it hurts even<br />
thinking about it.<br />
“No, thank you, I actually have to get going” she answers to my<br />
request of another cup of tea.<br />
No, no, no she can’t leave, if she leaves that’s it. I have to tell her,<br />
this is my chance. “Mum, I need to tell you something.” I start,<br />
but then I meet her eyes and freeze.<br />
How do I tell this woman that has so much faith in me that I am<br />
not going to make it for that scholarship she has been so excited<br />
about? How do I even tell her that I am pregnant and there are<br />
no wedding bells either because I also broke off my engagement<br />
with Alex?<br />
Which of course she will ask why I broke it off, how do I tell her<br />
that I cheated on my fiancée and I am not sure who the father of<br />
the kid is?<br />
