Brown Girl Married To A White Guy

In college at nineteen I became pregnant by this 'guy' I couldn't tell my parents about. The pregnancy went well, birth was as expected, new baby and all. I breast fed for nine months before returning to college. This 'guy' got ahold of me and I was made pregnant two weeks after going back to school.

This time I really felt the pregnancy after it overtook my body. I realized childbirth second by second and bringing my new baby to my nipple to nurse. This time he insisted on me living with him, so I had to introduce him to my parents. They were not amused or helpful, he was too old for me, and my mother was scared that I could become the woman he wanted me to be.

I went to school part time and was an at home the rest of the time. I was soon pregnant the third time, by then it was old school, and it was over and a new baby nursing. I didn't affect me in the day to day, I was a happy and proud Mom. Sure he was over handed, sure he kept me on a budget, sure he wanted his kids raised at home. Sure he wanted June Cleaver, and that's who I wanted to be.

I went to work part time when the youngest went to school. I was all adult, the mother of three. I got tired of working and decided to stay home full time. I had everything I needed or wanted. My parents got over their prejudice, my kids didn't notice they were different, the dog didn't care.
