Wow, this is a tough question to answer. Sure, physically you can become pregnant and have a child. But is this a phase; I really can't say.
What I can say is you are way to young to have a child. If for some reasons your nurturing instincts are kicking in ahead of your time to be capable of supporting a child, in every respect that a child requires support, there are ways to satisfy your nurturing needs.
You could look into the big sister program. This is an excellent program where you help a child who may not have a mom to go to with her problems and questions. You are also working with girls who could otherwise get in real trouble without your intervention. This is a very rewarding program. I'm not sure of the requirements or if there is a minimum age to join but is something you could look into.
You could also check in with your local library into reading programs for the young. Tutoring after school and other mentoring programs. Check with your local parks and recreation for summer jobs that might be available to you in working with the younger children.
I'm sure if you look for them you will find places where you can satisfy you nurturing instinct without becoming pregnant to do so. You are far to young, there are far to many things that life holds for you, that you will miss out on. But most importantly it is not fair to the child to be born to a mother as young as you are. This leads most always to a lifetime of struggles for the two of you.
I realize your mother is probably the last person you want to discuss this with. The fact is she is the best person to talk to about this. In a sense she may be the reason you want to be a mom as she has done an excellent job of being a mom to you.
Please don't do anything rash. You will not only ruin your life, the child's life but there are legal responsibilities for the father even if he is an unwitting player in all of this.
