yeah I was a Spanish Lit major (for whatever reason) and now I work in manufacturing. Go figure.

The kid thing - as a father-to-be myself in a somewhat different situation (committed relationship but still a Surprise (TM)) the emotions started in the same place you are at, but ended up with happiness and excitement.

HOWEVER we have had an abortion back in the day, and that was FUCKING GOD AWFUL I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Adoption isn't easy either, definitely harder than an abortion due to the whole 9-months thing. Plus she'd probably not be able to go through with it once the time came to pull the trigger. I'd love to say "go for the abortion" even though it is absolutely terrible but it ultimately comes down to whether or not she'll go through with it b/c it is her body. Kinda sucks b/c there should be a 50/50 say in the matter but you can't MAKE her get one. Also be careful about trying to force her into it b/c the harder you push for it the more she'll resist. Gotta be gentle with that one. And then be nice to her afterwords if she does go through with it, she'll be wreck.

edit: and don't worry about your parents, after the initial shock they'll come around. I would not, however, advise telling them about it at all if you do end up getting an abortion. that is NOT a pleasant conversation to have with your parents
