My Bf Died And I Found Out I Was Pregnant. His Parents Don't Know It's Not His Baby!

Hi! I’m Evelyn. I’m 18 and I’m about to become a mom, but my story isn’t gonna be about the early pregnancy, to some extent. The thing is that my ex-boyfriend has recently tragically died and now his parents are willing to help me with our baby that I’m going to have. It’s only…it’s not actually HIS baby…

It was a spring break and my boyfriend Johnny and I had a big fight, so I went to visit my cousin to kinda cheer myself up. Johnny and I had been together for 2 years and he just kept torturing me with jealousy and I kinda got tired of it. So we decided to take this as a short break in our relationship, but while he kept texting me every day, I was trying to get over him and just so happened to meet Tyler.
I knew that it’d be only a short-term romance, ‘cause we lived in different cities, but I just couldn’t help but fall in love with him. We spent days (and nights) together and everything was just awesome and romantic, and when the time came for me to leave, I had made up my mind to break all ties with Johnny when I got back. I was sure that, if I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to build another healthy relationship with somebody else. But for some strange reason, I was also pretty confident that it wouldn’t be easy to get rid of him.

It was Sunday morning, and I was already back home ready to meet Johnny at a café to have that serious talk. Of course, I didn’t mention Tyler at all, but I must admit I couldn’t get him out of my head. When I got to the café, I couldn’t find Johnny anywhere, so I began calling him but he didn’t answer. I decided to wait a little bit, but after about 30 minutes when he still neither showed up nor picked up his damn phone, I got really angry, so I just texted him that he totally missed his chance to talk to me and that he could be free as a bird, and just went home.

But later that day, one of our common friends called me and I found out why Johnny never showed up at that café. A taxi hit him. The ambulance got there right away but Johnny didn’t make it and died on the way to the hospital. Eyewitnesses said that he was in a hurry and was carrying a flower bouquet with him, and in his pant pocket, a small box with a ring was found.

I'm sure you guys can imagine how horrible it was. In addition, everyone around me saw me as Johnny’s widow, ‘cause for them, we were supposed to be together, right?! And I felt... I don’t know... so guilty when I was saying my condolences to his parents. I felt that I just had to keep in touch with them after they’d lost their only son. And his mom, oh, she insisted on me having that stupid ring, because, as she said, it was something that Johnny would've wanted, and I just couldn’t break her heart and tell her the truth about us.

It was quite a tough period, but at least Tyler found me on Facebook and we began chatting with each other. He turned out to actually be quite supportive of me. Actually everything looked like we had just continued our romance online and this cheered me up. But still, after that stress and everything, my health went down a little bit, like, I couldn’t eat anything and my stomach hurt really bad, and I felt nauseated all the time. So, after a month of being sick, I finally decided to visit my doctor, who happened to be one of Johnny’s mom’s friends. Well, it turned out that I was pregnant.

Honestly, I didn't intend to keep that child. I was too young to be a mom. Besides, taking into account the period of my pregnancy, Tyler was the father, and this would definitely complicate our relationship. But guess what? I wasn't  the only one who happened to find out about my pregnancy that day. And when Johnny’s mom called me to say that she needed to see me, I knew exactly that her friend had told her everything. That’s why when I went to their house and knocked on their door I was scrambling, trying to find proper words to start, probably, the hardest conversation of my life.

Their reaction totally blew my mind. Oh no, I didn’t tell them anything, because they didn’t give me any chance to talk at all. You should’ve seen their faces, full of amazement and happiness. They decided that that baby was Johnny’s, and they called it a miracle and God’s providence or something like that. Johnny’s mom said that it was her son’s soul that was trying to reach her in the form of that baby and that after that tragedy, they finally have meaning in their lives again and so on. They also said that they’d provide any assistance for me in raising that child, and give me the money they’d been saving to send Johnny to college and stuff like that.
