I wrote this when I was young and so incredibly naive. Since then I have had a few scares as Buffy does in this story. Trying to romanticize such a life-altering, difficult decision was irresponsible. I am not sure If I will go back and edit towards a more realistic chain of events or continue on this track with a gained respect for women who have or will have to make such a decision. I especially want to apologize to my beta whom I have personally offended. I'm so sorry and I have never stopped thinking of the email you sent me in regards to the would-have-been third chapter.
