Surprise Baby

A girl I know had a baby
and she wasn't pregnant.
I didn't believe it at first, either.

The story is
she went to the doctor
for suspected appendicitis
who said she was 9 mos. pregnant.

SURPRISE!

And she had her period every month, too.

SURPRISE!

It was a girl.  She kept it.

SURPRISE!

The father is _______
but I probably shouldn't say who
because I don't know.

I can't help but think when we met:
she was with a girl I would date
for close to two years a
and fall to pieces over
but I wanted her before that
and that brown-eyed girl got in the way.

I dodge life experiences
intentionally and sometimes
by mistake.

Surprise.
