Keep it.

"I'm keeping it coach. Simple as that." She looked up at me, a tear starting in one eye, lip trembling. "I'm scared coach, I'll lose my scholarship if I'm booted off the team. I can't go back to my parent's like this. And I can't raise this kid by myself. What am I going to do?"

That she wasn't barging in here, demanding I support her and this kid I'd helped create was, perhaps a bit surprising but it made it easier for me. I could pressure her into an abortion. Simple trip to the hospital, walk out an hour later with the problem solved, and our secret intact. We could continue fooling around once Kacey got on the pill proper, and nobody would be the wiser, least of all Natalie.

At the same time, I'd been raised (as was Nat) to believe abortion was ****. How could I on one hand celebrate Nat's pregnancy, that new life we'd made together, and on the other, terminate another because it wasn't welcome, it was a mistake. Nat and my first kid was an accident, a mistake, so could I really go ahead with terminating this mistake?

What should I do? She was adamant she was keeping it; abortion was off the table. So how could we keep this from getting out of hand when it inevitably went public? How could we spin this, what lies would we tell everyone?
