An Alternative Guide to Family

Erin's first marriage had lasted three months. Eversince then, Erin had wanted one thing. A baby. Eversince Erin was little, all she had wanted was a family. 'Well.' She figured. 'I can't have a husband, but that doesn't mean I can't have a kid.'

So, after 2 years of waiting to see whether it would happen naturally, Erin decided to employ her other option. So, she made an appointment with the local obsterician, and three weeks later, she was inseminated, despite the majority of her family and friends telling her it wasn't a good idea to do it. "You won't look as hot afterwoods." Said one. "Have you seen whst child birth does to your body." Said another one. "Have you seen child birth? It's a darned pain. You go through hell." Her sister told her. But Erin didn't believe a single one of them, nor did she care.

So, a few weeks after she was insaminated, Erin found out the results via a take home pregnancy test. She had been succesful and she was now pregnant. It felt great.

A couple of days later, she met a guy. Derek. He flirted with her, and that night they went out on a date and he ended up spending the night at her place.

As the months passed, Erin grew bigger and bigger. Suprisingly, Derek stayed by her side the whole way through. No matter what, he stuck by Erin the whole time.
