My Daughter Is Pregnant: But She Is Still In Primary SchoolChapter 1
My elementary school-aged daughter was suddenly found to be pregnant.
Portia, my-mother-in-law was heartbroken and held her tightly and cried bitterly.
Velvet, my-sister-in-law, was frantic, desperate to uncover the truth behind it all.
My husband, with red, tear-filled eyes, said he would kill the person responsible.
And me? I quietly made a bowl of chicken soup and gently told my daughter, "Take good care of yourself and the baby."
——
"Mom, my stomach hurts. I feel like throwing up."
"I don't want to go to school today."
My daughter clutched her stomach, her face pale, curling up on the couch.
She looked truly uncomfortable.
I reached into my bag, took out a pregnancy test and handed it to her.
"Go to the bathroom and see how many lines show up."
My daughter glanced up at me, her face blank with bewilderment.
The moment Portia, who had been washing dishes in the kitchen, heard what I said, she rushed over. She snatched the test from my hand, her expression a mix of disbelief and frustration.
"Calista, Iris is just a little girl in elementary school. She doesn’t even know what this is! Why would you give her something like that?"
Velvet jumped in.
"Sis, you’ve got to be kidding! Iris is just a little girl. She doesn’t even know what having a boyfriend means, let alone anything about pregnancy. She’s probably just got a stomach bug. Let me take her to the hospital to get checked out."
Without waiting for a response, she quickly scooped up my daughter and rushed her to the hospital.
Two hours later, they returned.
Portia hurried over, her voice thick with concern.
"How is she? Is Iris alright? What did the doctor say?"
With a pale, strained face, Velvet handed her the report.
The moment Portia glanced at it, she shrieked, "Iris is pregnant?!"
"That’s impossible!"
Her outburst was so loud that it pulled my husband, Dorian, out of his office to see what was going on.
Dorian grabbed the pregnancy test report, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"How is this even possible? Iris can't just be pregnant out of nowhere!"
While they stood there, stunned and overwhelmed, I quietly made my way into the kitchen and began preparing chicken soup.
In the living room, Portia and Dorian bombarded my daughter with frantic questions.
"Iris, is anyone at school picking on you?"
"Has any man been spending too much time around you?"
