A Dream Interrupted

It was Angela's first week of college and she was a new mother. It pained her to leave her baby at home and go off to Harvard, but her mother reminded her that an opportunity like this only came along once in a lifetime. So she went out on a limb and went to college and left her new baby girl at home with her mother and father. She was in the library checking an email that she was expecting from a friend. The contents of the email were very upsetting. Angela got up from the computer and stumbled towards the exit fighting back tears. Angela's boyfriend Terry had also came to Harvard he was her boyfriend of 7 years and the father of her beautiful baby girl. She went back to her dorm by the time she made it there she could not hold back the tears any longer and began to bawl. Terry walked into the door that she had left ajar he hurried over to her side and pried her hands from her tear strewn face. "What's wrong honey?" Terry asked frantically and grabbed her into his arms. Angela just kept bawling and shaking her head in denial. " Terry I have something to tell you that will change our whole lives." Angela said through her tears unable to look Terry in his face. " Honey you know you can tell me anything" Terry said and rubbed Angela on her back. Angela looked Terry in his eyes and dropped her head again. " Terry that time we broke up right around the time the baby was conceived I slept with a friend. It meant nothing to me I was drunk one night and one thing led to another and..." She trailed off and stared blankly into space. Angela was so distraught she wondered how this could happen to her. How could someone's luck be this bad she was happy now this bone from her closet has come back to haunt her. " Honey mistakes happen I'll love you no matter what we will over come this. We'll take the test and find out although it does not really matter you and that baby are all the family I have." Terry finished and swept Angela into his arms and held her for ten minutes. Angela knew no matter what happened Terry would always be there for her. Angela felt better about he situation but still she was solemn mourning her dream interrupted.
