I told my sister-in-law no one cares that she's pregnant.

I told my sister-in-law no one cares

that she's pregnant. My cousin Rachel

just buried her husband and two kids

last week. A car accident took them all

at once. She's left with just her

5-year-old daughter, Emma. And honestly,

watching them at the funeral was the

most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen

in my life. So, my brother Jake and his

wife, Kelly, show up to our house that

morning before we head to the church.

First thing Kelly does is announce she's

pregnant. We're all getting ready for a

funeral, and she's like, "Guess what,

everyone? We have news." My mom

congratulated her, but told her to keep

it quiet for today out of respect. Did

Kelly listen? Of course not. The second

we get to the church, Kelly starts

making these loud gagging noises and

rubbing her completely flat stomach.

Every time someone looked at her, she'd

go, "Oh, sorry, morning sickness. I'm

pregnant." She kept saying stuff like,

"As a mom, I just can't imagine what

Rachel's going through." Which was

ridiculous because Kelly doesn't have

any kids yet. At the cemetery, she

literally asked Rachel's sister to give

up her seat so the pregnant lady could

rest her feet. She'd been standing for

like 10 minutes total. I was getting so

annoyed, but I kept my mouth shut

because it's a funeral. After the

service, we went back to my aunt's

house. Kelly kept making everything

about herself. Someone would mention how

hard this must be for Rachel. And Kelly

would jump in with, "Oh, I know. Now

that I'm pregnant, I understand maternal

instincts so much better." When people

were talking about the babies who died,

Kelly would rub her stomach and talk

about how excited she was to be a mom.

The bathroom thing was what really got

me. Every time Kelly needed to use the

bathroom, she'd announce pregnant lady

coming through or baby on board needs to

pee. There were like 30 people there

grieving and she's treating it like her

personal pregnancy announcement party.

But then she crossed the line. Rachel

was sitting quietly in the corner with

Emma. Both of them just completely

destroyed. Kelly walks right up to them,

sticks out her flat belly, and says, "Me

and Jake just found out I'm pregnant,

and honestly, we're beside ourselves

thinking about how something like this

could happen to us, too." Rachel

completely broke down, started sobbing

so hard she could barely breathe. Emma

got scared and started crying, too.

Everyone in the room just stopped and

stared. That's when I lost it. I stood

up and said loud enough for everyone to

hear, "Kelly, no one gives a damn that

you're pregnant. Look around you. This

is a funeral for two babies and their

father. You took that pregnancy test 4

days ago, and you're acting like you're

the first woman to ever get pregnant.

Just leave." Kelly started crying and

ran out. Jake followed her, but not

before calling me a fat, bitter witch in

front of everyone. My aunt had to

comfort Rachel while my mom took Emma

outside. My phone's been blowing up all

day with calls from Jake and Kelly's

family calling me every name in the

book. They're saying I made a pregnant

woman cry and I'm heartless. Jake texted

me that Kelly's so upset she might

misaryry from the stress. But here's the

thing. Rachel and my aunt both thanked

me later. My aunt said Kelly was making

everything worse, and Rachel couldn't

handle it on top of everything else.

Rachel said she was grateful someone

finally said something because she was

too broken to speak up for herself. The

next morning, I found out Jake and Kelly

had been calling Rachel all night trying

to get her to talk to me about

apologizing. My aunt had to make Rachel

turn off her phone because they they

wouldn't stop harassing her. The woman

who just buried her family was getting

harassed because Kelly's feelings were

hurt. I went to my parents house and

Jake and Kelly were already there trying

to get my parents on their side. The

second I walked in, they both started

screaming at me about Kelly's feelings

and how I could cause a miscarriage. I

told them again that a funeral for two

children isn't the time to announce a

pregnancy and to get away from me.

That's when Kelly really showed her true

colors. She said, "If you don't

apologize right now, you'll never be

allowed in our child's life." I looked

her dead in the eye and said I didn't

care. And if she was going to use her

kid as a weapon, then I didn't want to

be in its life anyway. Things got heated

fast. Jake started yelling. Kelly was

crying again. And my dad ended up

kicking them both out of the house. My

mom was so disgusted with how they

acted. She hasn't talked to Jake
