“All the while, I could not believe that I had had an abortion,” she remembered. “I was so upset with myself.”
And that was when she began to form a plan, writing, “I plotted and I schemed. I pinpointed exactly when I was ovulating.”
Lisa Marie went to visit Danny, and the two spent the night together without her telling him she was hoping to become pregnant.
“I didn’t really care anymore what he thought about it,” she explained. “I didn’t care if he wanted to be a part of it or not. I felt that I had to redeem, to make amends, because I still couldn’t believe I had had an abortion. I thought, ‘I’m going to have this child. There is a child I need to be having.'”
