"Thank you Mrs. McGill. I hadn't expected the mood swings to be so wild." Samantha Sanders was in tears as she rubbed slow circles around her baby bump. The girl Jon had dated the day before, and had been a spinster originally, was now with child. In a cruel twist of fate her wish for a family in her original life was now fulfilled, at the cost of being seen as an easy school slut.
Carly McGill offered . "Come on, there are options...you decided to keep the baby...what about the father?"
Samantha wiped her eyes. "He...isn't in the picture. I mean...it was a party, everyone was drunk...half the kids invited are grounded for like the rest of the year."
"What about your parents?"
"They aren't happy, but they don't believe in abortion...and neither do I so...I wanted a family someday, I just wish I'd...been more responsible, you know?" Apparently this was a lesson Tiffany had learned...even subconsciously. The current Tiffany had brought protection to her rendezvous with Jon.
"Well, you can't change the past," Carly told her. "But you can work on the future." The look of gratitude on Samantha's face justified her decision to become a teacher. She wasn't just there to teach them, but to help them grow up.
