In a Coma and Inseminated Without My Permission

Episode 3

(It's too much to take in, but to my misfortune, all this is not over yet, and with each passing hour, more and more bad and very bad news seems to come my way. It seems I made a mistake or wronged someone along the way because this punishment is truly horrible, and who is this man? Why does he come and introduce himself like this? I don't know him, and I know this won't be good. I see my father scared and somewhat agitated.)

"Dad? What's wrong? What did this man just say? Is it true that I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, daughter, it's true. I told you that your sister can't have babies, and she asked me, or rather, begged me to have tests done on you to see if you could have babies, and indeed you can. But even so, I wasn't sure about doing it. I came and spoke to your doctor, and he said it could be done, and after analyzing everything well, I decided to have you inseminated. I'm sorry, daughter, but I didn't know you would wake up so soon. The tests showed no progress of any kind, and according to the doctor and what I had already thought, we were going to disconnect you after your sister had the baby. I'm so sorry, my girl, but all this was very exhausting for me, for your sister. I always wanted to have the hope of seeing you open your eyes, but a lot of time had passed, and the doctors no longer gave me hope that you would wake up. Besides that, we lost everything we had. To cover the expenses, I sold your apartment, your car, even my house. My pension wasn't enough, and I looked for a job and was about to throw in the towel. Your sister and Jorge would help me during this time of your pregnancy to pay for the hospital expenses and would take care of the cost of the delivery, but something went wrong when they took you to have the procedure. The person in charge of doing the insemination made a mistake and inseminated you with this man's sperm. A week ago, he came and complained to us about it, but we have nothing to do with it. (He turns to look at that man) But no matter how much I explain, he is not convinced, and there is nothing I can do about that."

"I don't care whose fault it was, I never asked to be a father, and I don't want to be one, so at this moment I demand that she have an abortion and I will not leave here until I see it done."

(He looks furious, but I'm just finding out about everything that has happened in these 5 years that I've been in a coma. First, Julian got married and has a daughter, my sister can't have babies, and that's why I'm in this predicament.)

"Sir, you have already been told that this cannot be done. It goes against our hospital. These practices are prohibited here.-" The doctor tells him.

"Money makes the dog dance, doesn't it? Well, I have plenty and I demand that she have the abortion right now."

(What's wrong with him? He can't just come and demand like that, because the supposed baby is inside me and he can't control that.)

"I'm very sorry, sir, but it's my body and I decide. You are no one to come and demand anything. Besides, I don't know how all this happened! And! If they had consulted me, believe me, I would never have accepted any of this, and in case you haven't realized, I was in a coma and I'm waking up and I'm finding out about all this, so I ask you to please leave and not bother me anymore."

"Everyone get out of here, I have a lot to think about and assimilate... GET OUT!... You too, Dad. For now, I don't want to see you. I know that the decisions you made were not taken lightly or to hurt me because I know you love me, but all this hurts me, Dad, please understand me, and for now, I don't want to see anyone. It's too much for one day."

(I feel like I won't be able to sleep. Who could after finding out about all this? I don't know whether to feel sad, angry, disappointed, or happy to be awake, but knowing everything that happened in my absence is so sad. I feel so exhausted physically and mentally. It's already night and I just want to sleep and wake up to realize that all this was just a very bad-tasting nightmare.)
