Re-Writes..."A Life Less Ordinary"

“i want a girl who’s not into scandalous things. for example, a man and his pregnant girlfriend are about to deliver their first child together. nine months, ten months, thirteen months, whatever, no baby. people started getting suspicious. everyone seemed to have a different opinion on the situation. i mean, thirteen months, come on. but finally, it was time to deliver. wednesday. that wednesday. the man is ecstatic. he tells all his friends at work he is going to be a father again. they throw him an extravagant baby shower, with lots of gifts and money. his dream of having another child is about to be realized. but his pregnant girlfriend is hiding a secret. on wednesday, she made her way to the hospital with the man and his mother also there for the delivery. after a couple of hours, a doctor came out and told them that there was no baby. this news totally shocked them. i can only imagine the emotions they were feeling at that moment. it must have been crushing. an extreme high to an extreme low. i think becoming a father has to be the greatest feeling in the world, only to have it taken away in an instant. anyway, the man and his mother then become hysterical, cursing and throwing things around the hospital. i don’t blame them. and when the girlfriend came out of the room, she explained to the man and his mother that she was only in the hospital to have surgery, not to deliver a baby. she told the man that he knew she wasn’t going to have a baby. that she had miscarried several months earlier. and this left many questions about the whole situation. was the girlfriend lying or did the man actually know she wasn’t pregnant? i find it hard to believe that a man would actually pretend his girlfriend was pregnant, for any reason. and i knew things about this girl. i knew the man was already taking care of her five kids. paying the bills and buying their necessities while she stayed at home, collecting welfare. and i knew this wasn’t the first time she’d done this to someone. so i came to my own conclusion. but i won’t get into that.”

sometime in '99, i don't remember the exact date.
