My Mother Kicked Me Out of the Church for Getting Pregnant Out of Wedlock

As a sophomore studying psychology, I met Glenn in class. Our study sessions turned into coffee dates and deep conversations at the campus diner. We bonded over shared stories, and soon, our friendship blossomed into romance. One evening, Glenn kissed me, and everything felt perfect—until I discovered I was pregnant. Terrified, I hid the truth from my mother, Claudia, a single mom devoted to me and nature since my dad’s passing.
Morning sickness made it impossible to keep the secret. I avoided Mama, dodging her questions with excuses about school stress. By Sunday, at church, nausea overwhelmed me. I confessed to Mama during the sermon, and she exploded, disowning me in front of everyone. Humiliated, I fled, but Pastor James intervened, urging Mama to show love and forgiveness. His words softened her heart, and we reconciled with tearful hugs.
Days later, Mama wanted to meet Glenn’s family. To our shock, Pastor James was Glenn’s father. The coincidence left us laughing, proving life’s surprises can bring blessings. Mama’s now excited about the baby, knitting booties and even considering dating again. What started as a crisis ended with love, forgiveness, and a stronger family bond.
