Unexpecting

Description

Benjamin Morrison is about to start junior year of high school and while his family is challenging, he is pretty content with his life, with his two best friends, and being a part of the robotics club. Until an experiment at science camp has completely unexpected consequences.

He is going to be a father. Something his mother was not expecting after he came out as gay and she certainly wasnt expecting that he would want to raise the baby as a single father. But together they come up with a plan to prepare Ben for fatherhood and fight for his rights.

The weight of Bens decision presses down on him. Hes always tired, his grades fall, and tension rises between his mom and stepfather. Hes letting down his friends in the robotics club whose future hinges on his expertise. If it wasnt for his renewed friendship (and maybe more) with a boy from his past, he wouldnt be able to face the daily ridicule at school or the crumbling relationship with his best friends.

With every new challenge, every new sacrifice he has to make, Ben questions his choice. Hes lived with a void in his heart where a fathers presence should have been, and the fear of putting his own child through that keeps him clinging to his decision. When the baby might be in danger, Bens faced with a heart-wrenching realization: sometimes being a parent means making the hard choices even if they are the choices you don’t want to make…
