It should have been the happiest day of Mimi's life. She could not even imagine it would turn out like that. Just a while ago, she had tested the strip and got a positive result of her pregnancy. She was so happy and wanted to share the news with her boyfriend.
She stepped down to the living room and called Josh. But Josh was playing a video game and could not hear her. She again called him but he didn't reply.. Then she stood in front of him and he noticed her. But he got irritated and asked her how many times he had told her not to distract him while he was playing. Mimi smiled and said that he had been playing for four hours already. And she added that she had something very important to tell him. Josh was still irritated and asked her if she was saying that he had been home for four hours and she still had not cooked anything for dinner. Mimi said that she was not feeling well and said, "But it may be because I..." Josh stopped her and told her to stop whining. He suggested to her to clean up trash instead. He reminded her that she was a woman and she had to fulfill her duties. Then he again wore the headphone though Mimi didn't finish. She tried to talk with him but he didn't care.
The moment she was going to share the most important news with him - he just pushed her away. She also got angry and switched off the computer. Josh got angry and asked her if she was a nut. But she was not there to reply. It was just not the right moment of telling him everything. That was the only acceptable explanation. She needed support so she went to her dearest person. When she went to her mom, she told her that she was not expecting her that day. She also said that Mimi was not looking well and asked the reason. She just smiled and said that she had got some big news. Her mom asked if she had finally decided to dye her hair. She said that she was surprised that her hair had not all fallen out yet. It made Mimi laugh and said that it was not that. She then said that actually, she was going to have a baby. She looked at her mom and she was looking shocked rather than surprised. But she congratulated her daughter and said that she thought she might be barren. Mimi didn't care about this and said that she had just found out but hadn't told josh yet. Her mom told her to calm down because she thought Josh wouldn't leave Mimi.
But Mimi said that actually, she was considering leaving him. Her mom got shocked and asked if she was out of her mind. She asked her how she was going to cope with the baby on her own because no one was going to want her with another man's child. Mimi tried to show her the situation. She told her mom that Josh did nothing around the house and he didn't help her anyhow. He just played games and apparently, he thought that she had to carry the load herself. But her mom stopped her saying that he earned money. Mimi didn't stop. She said that she felt like she was not in love with him anymore. Her mom got bothered and asked what love she was talking about. She said that she had only put up with Mimi's father because she had to. So, in her view, Mimi also had to put up. Mimi asked why she had to. Her mom replied that no why about it. She asked Mimi where she was going to live. She told her daughter that she didn't need her around there burdening her. Mimi kept silent and she said that she understood that hormones had gone to her head but advised her to go home to her child's father. She said that Josh was absolutely right that a woman must be a good housewife. Mimi laughed and said that she could not believe she was saying that. But she got angry and said that the conversation was over.
When Mimi returned to Josh's home, he made a surprise for her. She got afraid for a while. But Josh was so happy and said to her that she was always so funny when she freaked out. Mimi didn't like it and said that she had asked him never to do that. She added that she was very tired and was going to bed. This time Josh said that Mimi's mother called him and he knew why she was mad. Mimi turned around and could not understand anything. She asked him if her mom had told him everything. He replied that of course, she had explained everything. So, she asked him what he thought about it. He replied that he thought he was not ready yet, but now he understood that it had been long enough already. She was going to ask something, but before it, he kneeled down and asked her if she would marry him. He told Mimi that her mother told him that it was what she really wanted. She doubted what her mom told Josh. So, she asked him if she had told him that she was mad because he had not proposed yet. He replied that sure she had told him that. And asked her what else could it be. Then he again asked her what would be her reply. He said that his knee had hurt already.
Mimi didn't know what to say. The only thing she cared about was her baby. But she had never thought about her own happiness. So, she replied okay to him. He stood up and gave her the ring. But it was not fitting on her fingers. He said that he had got the wrong size and blamed her that she had such a pudgy finger. But she knew she had not. She thought if she was ready to tell him that she was pregnant. She asked herself if she was ready or not. However, Josh told her to clean the living room and said that he was waiting for her upstairs.

The baby is always a blessing. What is important is that she's there for her child.
