"Oh my God! The baby kicked me. That's the first time I felt it move!"-November
So when November and her mother got home, the telephone answering machine was blinking. November sunk down on the sofa, picked up the phone, dialed the code to check the messages. The caller ID indicated it was from somebody named Henderson Grant, attorney-at-law. November thought it might be another of those annoying salesmen. The message basically said that they would like to meet with them at the earliest convenience to discuss the future of her unborn child. Brock and Marlene Prescott, would liked to make the process painless and profitable for her. November and her mom walked in the office and saw a man very well dressed smiling as well as Joshes parents. The lawyer started to say that the Prescott's would like to make an offer, they would like to adopt her unborn child. They started bribing her with words like how they would give her a lot of money how her child would be in the best hands. How the baby would have everything he/she needed. A room to his/her self so many toys for him/her to play with it. They also said that November didn't have to worry about anything that she could continue her plans of going to college and with the money they were offering her she could go to the best college. As they went on suddenly the room was silent, November refused to look at anyone she leaned back in the cushioned chair and placed her hands over her belly and prayed. She realized that they basically wanted her to sell her baby. She had dought's she thought that maybe the right thing to do was what was best for the baby. November knew that she didn't really love Josh and how she didn't want a baby, how she could still go away to college. Maybe it was her chance to make everything right. November looked up she opened her mouth to speak and closed it. She said "there's no need to drag all summer. I've made my decision , I have chosen to-" then she stopped. Lifted up her hands as if they'd were stung looked down her belly with wonder. And felt the baby move for the first time.
