Hi, Lucy,
I am very glad you came!
If you don't want an abortion, don't have one! Since you don't want one, it would be a serious mistake.
We can't know how the father will react. He may or may not come around. Most men don't connect to pregnancy until they can see some evidence for themselves. This can be to notice changes in the mother's body, hear the heartbeat, see an ultrasound, or feel movement. Just give him some space and time. You don't owe it to him to do this anyway, and he should support you because he helped make your baby, after all.
As for your parents, it is most unlikely they won't come around. Most families become very supportive. And by the way, I've been there. I have a grandson who was born to my unmarried son, and I love him just as much as the other grandchildren.
You aren't truly alone. Help is available. You can go here:
http://www.pregnancycenters.org/
You can find a pregnancy center in your area, and they will support you in whatever way you need. And we are here to support you, too.
You are already a mother; you want to protect your baby. Your baby is depending on you. We love you both.
Hugs,
Pat
