Dear Mom and Dad,
Sorry it's taken so long to write. We're still reeling from the shock! We hadn't seen Natalie for several months since she's been so far away at college, so we really had no idea she was pregnant. We have always raised her to be honest with us about everything, even if she thought it would make us angry, but she was still scared. One of her closest friends at school is a young woman who got pregnant at 18, and her parents completely cut her off. Natalie was afraid we would do the same. Finally, the counselor she's been seeing at school convinced her to call and tell us. Needless to say, we were shocked to find out she was expecting and doubly shocked to find out how far along she was. The very next day, she went into labor. Kleo was born a couple weeks early, but completely healthy. We're disappointed for Natalie, because this is going to make life much more challenging for her, but we're not angry. We know she was responsible and tried to protect herself, but accidents can happen to anyone, and there's no use being upset over things we can't change.
Natalie has withdrawn from school and is now at home with Kleo. She has decided to attend the community college here part-time so that she can be near her family. The baby's father, Christopher, is a very sweet young man who lives nearby and genuinely wants to be involved in his daughter's life. His parents are very upset about the baby and putting a lot of pressure on Natalie and Chris to "do the right thing" and get married. Unfortunately Merlin and I are now on rather bad terms with Chris' parents because we firmly asked them to back off and stop trying to pressure our daughter into marriage. Natalie and Chris are very close and I suspect that their relationship will last, but Merlin and I have urged them not to rush into anything. Merlin's parents married very young when his mother got pregnant with his older sister, and they were married for 15 very unhappy years before finally splitting up. We don't want that to happen to Natalie and Christopher.
Although everyone was shocked by the sudden addition to our family, Kleo's new aunts and uncles are already very fond of her. She's going to be a very spoiled child!
Love,
Cleo
