NovelOnline"Are you married? If you don't want the child, we will need the signature of the father to proceed with an abortion," the doctor said. Shelly could not possibly get Hayden to sign the paperwork for her because she had no means of reaching him.

You can get a family member to sign it for you. You won't be able to proceed with the procedures today, so you will need to make an appointment," the doctor continued. "Why don't you go hand consider your options?" "Do I have to get my family to sign it? They aren't in the scity." Shelly was reluctant to inform her family about this as her parents would be devastated.
The doctor shot her a look. "Get the father of the child to sign it, then. Without anyone to sign the consent paper, who's going to take responsibility if something goes wrong during the surgery?" Shelly knew that the doctor was merely advising her in accordance with the hospital's rules, so she did not argue further. "I will go back and consider, then." "Sure. You aren't that far along in your pregnancy yet, so you still have options. If you wait until your embryo is past the three- month mark, an abortion would not be rmended." "Okay." Shelly stepped out of the hospital with her medical record and felt like the world was spinning before her eyes.
She had never expected herself to be a mother. Since she did not have a boyfriend, she could not begin to imagine her life with children.
When she walked toward the bus station outside the hospital, she noticed that the bench was empty and sat down with tears rolling down her cheeks.

An active debtbined with the inability to work and the need to make ends meet with a child spelled nothing but trouble.
'I can't give birth to it, or my child is going to suffer alongside me!' she thought.
During the weekend, Shelly gave Courtney a call.
Courtney answered right away. "What's up, Shelly?" Shelly took a deep breath. "Courtney, have you made up with your parents?" "I don't know if it counts as peace, but I did as you said and apologized, and they ave me. I told them to pick another man to matchwith, and they agreed. At the very least, the current crisis has been averted. I just don't know who they are going to pick next." Courtney sighed. "Are you free today? I can treat you to lunch." "Courtney, I need a favor," Shelly said, intending to get Courtney to sign the consent form for her.
