True friends love you anyway. part 3

School was dreadful. As the weeks dragged by and I started getting bigger, the rumors began. My boyfriend broke up with me three weeks after, having found out from his sister that I was pregnant. He wouldn't believe the story that I was raped and just ditched me. Michael was still there for me. He became the older brother I needed as the weeks turned into months. According to Doctor Annabelle, the baby was progressing normally and was healthy. I didn't know if this was good or bad. The good thing was.. obviously.. that the baby was healthy. The bad was that I'd made the decision to keep it.
Once It became obvious to everyone that I was definitely pregnant, the rumors became worse. Nobody would talk to me, except to throw a nasty comment at me. My friends deserted me, not wanting to be seen hanging out with the freak. Only Michael stayed by my side, no matter what. His friends ditched him as well, but he wouldn't leave me. He was the only one that saw me when I cried, that cared that I was hurt. He took me to my check ups and was always there. The months dragged by and I got bigger and bigger. Finally, 9 months had passed, and I was going to the doctor in the back of Michael's van.
Michael: It's okay, Jazz! Just one more mile!
I was panting in the back set, dripping in sweat.
Doctor Annabelle: This way!
She had a wheelchair ready for me and hurried me to the maternity ward. Michael insisted on coming with me, grasping my hand for support. Finally, it was over and the baby girl was in my arms.
Michael: *stroked my hair* She looks like you.
I smiled. "She's beautiful." I whispered, too tired to talk any louder.
Doctor Annabelle: You need to sleep now, Jasmine. You can see her when you wake up.
I nodded my head and she took the baby from me. I saw her cooing at the little girl as she cradled the baby in her arms. Michael had my hand again as I drifted off to sleep.

Michael: Jasmine? Want to see your baby?
My eyes fluttered open. "Y-yes" I yawned. Doctor Annabelle came back in, holding a pink bundle. She placed the baby girl in my arms and I looked down into her beautiful face.
Doctor Annabelle: What are you going to name her?
I noticed she was holding a birth certificate. I looked into my doctor's kind blue eyes and smiled. "Annabelle Marie." I said without hesitation. "After the doctor that took care if me." I saw her smile as she wrote it down.
Doctor Annabelle: Are you going to keep her? Or put her up for adoption?
Michael squeezed my shoulder. I had been debating the adoption thing. But now, holding the baby in my arms, it was impossible for me to say that. "I think I can take care of her." I said quietly. "I don't want to give her up."
Doctor Annabelle: I'll want you to continue coming here, then. So I can make sure.. Annabelle is healthy and growing normally.
I saw her smile faintly when she said the name, making me smile too. "Thank you so much." I said to her.
