Hi, guys. I really need some help with my new novel...if you could provide it, I'd like that very much 
. This is the basic plot online:
"The virgin birth, the abducted girl, and the end of the world as you know it.
When Poppy tells her boyfriend Quinn that she's pregnant, he is horrified. Not only are they too young for children, and devout Christians, but they have never had sex. So Quinn can only come to one conclusion: Poppy has cheated on him. Poppy insists that this is not the case. She tells him, instead, that she believes that this is a 21st-century Immaculate Conception. He thinks she's crazy; but, slowly, he comes around to the idea. But Poppy asks Quinn to pretend, for the sake of their family and friends, to be the child's father. He agrees reluctantly, and suddenly, the situation is spinning out of their control.
Under pressure from family and friends, Poppy and Quinn are facing tough times. To deal with it, Poppy turns to a new friend: the shy, scared Melody, girl next door and good listener. But there are a lot of things Poppy doesn't know about Melody. Like the fact that the people who claim to be her parents are not really her parents at all. Or how she feels like she is suffocating in her own life...and she will do anything to get out.
But Poppy and Quinn are about to find out. Because Melody has a sinister plan for this miracle baby..."
What do you think? I know you can't really tell from the plot outline, but do you think it's too much? Am I trying to tell two stories in one? Should I cut the Melody plot and make it about Poppy and Quinn and their internal struggle? I'm asking you to go on gut instinct here. Thank you!
