Changes ~ Chapter 1 In the Beginning
Well I guess first things first, my name is Mellisa Sheldon. I'm 22 years old and just graduated from Sim State University in the education major. I was top of my class all years. I graduated valedictorian and landed myself a job as a 3rd grade teacher at Simsburg Elementary.
This is my husband Jake. He was my high school sweetheart and is the love of my life. We were married shortly after my sophomore year at Sim State against the wishes of my parents but what can I say I love him and I wanted our relationship to be more permanent. My parents wanted me to wait until after college and maybe find someone more to their standards. See my parents are the type that never thinks anything is good enough for their children but I just knew that Jake was perfect enough for me.
Jake never went to college but he was super smart, he was always finding ways to get out of situations that would normally ruin your life. There was one time in high school he got mixed up with the wrong crowd and got arrested for breaking and entering but somehow he talked his way out of time in juvenile hall and the charges never even went on his record.
Time went by and we were happy. We saved up our money and moved out of our tiny apartment and bought our first house and what would probably be our only house. It was huge 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. It was more than big enough for the 2 of us and our dog Duke.
I spent a lot of time studying and trying to further my career.
Jake on the other hand spent a lot of time lounging around the house all day while I went off to work. It never really bothered me it was just Jakes way of doing things. He said he was trying to find the right job for him.
Months went by and Jake still had no job and I was our soul source of income. It was starting to really get to me and we started fighting a lot. There were even times that we slept in separate rooms just to get away from each other.
One night i got home from work around 5pm only to see that Jake was no where to be found. Not a big deal to me I had tons of papers to grade and I found it was easier to get done without Jake distracting me. I finished my work and started dinner. I figured if he wasn't home in time he could just have leftovers. It wouldn't be the first time I had eaten alone.
But Jake got home just as dinner was finished cooking, and instead of taking his plate into the living room to eat in front of the TV he sat down at the table with me. "Where have you been?" I asked him in a not so happy tone. "Actually I've been working." He shot back at me before putting a bite of spaghetti in his mouth. "Really where did you get a job at?" I asked shocked that he had actually found a job. "No where special just a little shop in town." He replied not even looking up at me. "Ah" was all I could say. We ate the rest of our meal in silence.
Later that night things got a little better. I was laying in bed reading a book when Jake came in and gave me a very passionate kiss. "What was that for?" I asked looking him in the eyes for the first time in a long time. "Just thought I would come and give my pretty lady the love she deserves, and apologize for the way I acted at dinner. I had a really hard day." He said. He looked at me in a way I've never seen before. He climbed onto the bed as i set my book down on the nightstand. He grabbed the back of my head and kissed me again but this time he laid me down very gently as he was kissing me. That was something that hadn't happened in a long time.
Well one thing led to another and well you know the rest. Jake and I made love for the first time in probably 3 months. It was the best night of my life and that night I feel asleep in the arms of the man I love.

3 weeks had gone by since the night that me and Jake had made love. Since then things had pretty much gone back to normal. I went back to work and continued make the majority of our money. Jake went back to doing whatever he was doing as a job. He still refused to tell me what his new job was all about.
One morning I was woken with a horrible stomach ache. I thought maybe it was the Chinese that i had to eat that night for dinner. So I waited a few more days and every day it seemed to come back.
Then one morning a huge wave of nausea came over me and I barely made it to the bathroom. "What is wrong with me?" I thought to myself.
I went to work that morning as usual and started to prepare for my class to start. As I was checking the date I noticed that i was suposed to start my period almost a week ago. "Oh my, what if I'm pregnant?" I said out loud to no one in particular. I decided that night after work I would go to the drug store on the way home and buy a pregnancy test.
It said to take it with first morning urine so I went that whole night with the thought in my mind that i could be pregnant. I went over in my head a million times how this could have happened. The only time we had sex that wasn't protected by a condom or by birth control was that one night Jake came home after his new job. I laid awake in bed all night staring at the ceiling thinking of all the what ifs. I don't think I slept a wink that night.
The next morning the first thing I did when Jake left for work was run to the bathroom to pee on that stick. I laid the test on the counter and put the toilet seat down to sit and wait. Those 3 minutes felt like the longest 3 minutes of my life. When they were over I was so nervous to look at the results. I walked over to the counter and closed my eyes. "If this is happening we will be ok, we have to be." I said. After I reassured myself about 5 times I opened my eyes and looked down at the test. It said PREGNANT in big bold letters.
I closed my eyes and took in a big breath, I let it out along with a sob as I started to cry. "What are we going to do?" I cried aloud. "We cant have a baby were not ready for a baby. Jakes going to flip, We agreed we were not going to have children and even if we did they would be carefully planned when we could afford them. What am I going to do?" I looked at myself in the mirror and thought aloud. " I have to keep this a secret from Jake as long as I can." Then I sat on the bathroom floor and cried until I couldnt cry anymore

Just to let everyone know the H-E-Double hockey stick word is used a lot in this chapter so don't say I didn't warn you. :)
~Words~
As I was waiting for Jake to come home from work I tried to do things around the house to keep my mind busy. I cleaned as much as I could, did the laundry, and even worked a bit on the garden. Sure enough my body wore itself down before the day had even really begun. I decided to go in the house and take a short nap on the couch.
Before I knew it I was woken by Jakes voice. "Melissa where the hell are you?" He was screaming from just inside the door. I still wasn't totally awake by the time he found me laying on the couch. "What the hell are you doing?" He screamed at me again. "taking a nap. What does it look like I'm doing?" I shot back at him point blank. "The one day I decided to take lunch at work and surprise you at work you are not there. Whats up with that huh? Why the hell weren't you at work?" He asked. "I was feeling sick this morning so I didn't go in." I said, "Is that a problem with you, or do I have to run everything by you before i do it?" I said standing up to face him. "Well it would have been nice if I knew, I wasted all that time for nothing." He said. "Well I'm sorry I was such an inconvinence to you, Ill make sure and tell you my every move from now on." I said starting to walk away. Jake grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. He held on to me tight and pressed his nose against mine and he glared at me with such intensity. "Don't you ever talk to me like that again do you hear me? Or I will make your life hell." He said with his teeth clenched. As he let got I turned and ran out of the living room crying.
Knowing I couldnt leave the house or Jake would get suspicious I decided to just try to soak all my problems away in a nice bubble bath. As I was in the tub I thought about what I was going to do. I knew I couldnt tell Jake about the baby tonight, there was deffinetly no way I was going to do that. Only god knows what he would do to me then. I figured as long as I could keep this baby a secret the longer we were both safe. I never knew Jake to be this way. He was always so sweet to me and he never treated me like I was his property. Something had to be wrong but I had no idea what.
Later that night I decided to try and talk to Jake, maybe see if I could get him to tell me more about his mystery job. I found him in the computer room playing one of his oh so precious video games in total darkness. I stood behind him for a long time just watching the figures move on the screen before I decided to let him know I was there. "Jake?" I managed to say. "What do you want?" He said without even looking away from the screen. "I was thinking maybe we could talk?" I asked him very timmidly. "What is there to talk about, your a lazy bitch who thinks about no one but herself." He said still not looking away from his game. I stared to cry yet again and Jake stood up and slammed the chair against the desk. "You know Melissa I'm getting really sick of hearing you do that all the time." He screamed. In between sobs I managed to say "Then why don't you get the hell out."
He looked at me with those blue eyes and they pierced my heart like daggers. Then he turned and walked out of the room. I chased him all the way down the stairs and into the garage as he got into his car and started the ignition. The whole time I cried and begged him not to go. "Jake I'm sorry I didn't mean it please baby don't go." I pleaded. He never said a word just looked at me with those eyes once again and I stood there as he backed out of the drive way and then down the road.
