Angel

We pulled up to the Dr. Armstrong's Pregnancy Center. We got out and filled out all the papers. While we were waiting for them to call my name, my mind was racing. I lost the first one...

Is Dave going to be happy? Does he want this? Is he ready for this? Am I ready for this?

"Amore!"

Stephanie grabbed my hand and we walked to the back. We entered an examination room.

"Okay urinate in this cup and place it in the metal bin. There's a restroom right over there. Dr. Armstrong will be with you shortly. Okay?" She said as she pointed towards the restroom.

"Okay." I said as I grabbed the cup. I walked into the restroom and pulled my pants down. I squatted down and placed the cup under me.

There wasn't much that came out. "I hope this is enough..." I whispered.

I placed the cup in a metal bin. As I was pulling my pants up, I heard it open on the other side.

I walked out the restroom and sat down on the examination table.

I swung my feet as I waited.

10 minuets later, Dr. Armstrong came in.

"Heyy my 2 favorite nurses in the whole wide world!" She smiled.

"Hey Doc!" Me and Stephanie said back. She used to work at the hospital with us.

"And yo ass think you pregnant huh? Damn Stephanie I thought you would've been before Angel..." We all laughed.

"No ma'am hunny." Stephanie said.

Dr. Armstrong sighed excitedly and smiled at me.

"Well. Congratulations Nurse Angel. Youre going to be mommy."

Bitch what?

I swear in that moment, time stopped. Everything started moving slow. The room started spinning. Sounds were becoming muffled.

"Wait what?"

"Yeah. You're about 4 and a half weeks pregnant."

Stephanie started jumping up and down like she was the one that was pregnant.

"OH MY GOSH REALLY?! ANGEL, IM GOING TO BE A GOD MOMMY!" She said as tears ran down her face. I just sat there.

"Okay, let's look at it shall we?" Dr said chuckling.

She lifted my shirt up and placed the cold jelly on my stomach. She then took the probe and ran it slowly across my belly.

"There's your bundle of joy right there!" She tapped the screen as me and Stephanie squinted our eyes. It was a black dot.

"I know you may not be able to see anything now, butttt soon they'll be a big baby in there. And of course you know that about 3 weeks, one day after fertilization, when the heart first begins to beat, the sound of the little heart is too soft to hear. But when you come back in four weeks, we'll be able to listen and see it. I wrote you a prescription for you medicine and everything."

"Okay..." I whispered. I was at a lost for words. I'm not ready for this.

She wiped the jelly off my stomach and I gathered my things.

"Alright Angel, see in next month! Congratulations again!" She said walking out the door.

"Okay thanks!" We both said.

The car ride was just Stephanie going on and on about how excited she was. All of a sudden, she stopped.

"What's wrong best friend? You don't seem happy. How are you gonna tell Dave?" She said.

Something then dawned on me. If I'm 4 weeks pregnant and me and Dave had sex for the first time in 2 weeks ago, then that means... Oh my god...

I bursted into tears. "NO! NO! NO!" I screamed.

"Wait a minute Angel, what's wrong?!"

"It's not Dave's..." I said in between my sobs.

"Well how are you for sure?! You been fucking other niggas or some and didn't tell me?"

"No! No! The times don't add up! Amir raped me and month and a half ago! Me and Dave had sex for the first time 2 weeks ago!" I screamed.

She gasped. "Angel, when Amir... Did he wear a condom?"

"I-I don't think so..." Steph stayed quiet.

"Stephanie I don't want this baby... I can't have this baby." I said.

"Wait wait a minute Angel. A baby is a blessing. I know it was made out of evil and a terrible incident, but life is valuable. You can't take its innocent life away. You'll be a great mom. I can already see it. I've always told you that. Angel, I'd die just to have kids... I can't even conceive..."

"But the first one didn't make it.." I whispered.

"That doesn't mean that this one won't! You can't talk or think like that!" She yelled.

"I'm not telling Dave."

"You not telling Dave what?" She raised her brows at me. "I'm not telling Dave about my pregnancy. I'm getting rid of it."

"Angel! At least tell him so he can know!" She yelled. "I'm not telling him."

She scoffed. "Oh bitch you got me fucked up you telling Dave."

"No Im not." I shook my head.

"Ashid. You ain't got not other choice." The car stopped.

"What you mean?" I said confused looking at her. She smirked.

"Because we already here..." I looked up seeing that we were at his building.

"I'm not getting out the car." I folded my arms together.

"Oh yes you are." "No Im not." "Yes you are." "No Im not!" We argued.

"Angel?..." She sighed. "You getting out this car. If I have to drag you up there. Unless you want me to embarrass you in front of all these people-" I screamed to the top of my lungs and unbuckled my seatbelt. "- you better get your ass up there NEOW!" She scolded as I slammed the door.

"SLAM IT AGAIN!" I heard her yell as I stomped up to to the building.

I knocked on his door, bracing myself. He opened the door looking oh so good...

He smiled wide and picked me up. "Love Bug! I missed you so much mama..." He said swinging me around.

I giggled and he carried me inside, kissing my face and lips. I heard the door click shut. He put me down.

"David I have something I need to tell you."

I turned around and he came up behind me.

"That ass looking so fat in that uniform... " He smacked it. I smirked, but quickly straightened my face up.

"David I'm serious!" I yelled. "Alright alright babe. Wait I got some I need to tell you too..."

I jerked back. "You do?"

"Yeah... But first, I'm staying the night with you. My bag packed already so there's nothing you can say." He picked up his duffle Louis bag by the stairs and his keys off the island.

"Come on let's go..." He said.

We walked out the door and he locked up. I started walking down the hall to the elevator.

"Shit..." I heard him say but I ignored it.

"Angel you got panties on?" "Yeah why?" I furrowed my brows.

"That ass jiggling everywhere..." I bursted into laughter.

Dave cat called after me the whole way down to Steph's car.

"Aye pink pants! Aye!" He yelled behind me as we walked through the lobby. I held my laugh in.

"Pull over that ass to fat!" He yelled. The people that were in the lobby started laughing and cooing.

I chuckled feeling my cheeks heat up. "David, sto-hop!" I dragged out. He laughed.

I went to grab the door handle to Steph's car. "Ant ant!" He said popping my hand. He opened my door and shut it as I got in.

We pulled out the complex with Dave behind us.

"Did you tell him?" Steph said. I stayed quiet. She sighed.

"You're going to have to tell him sooner or later."

10 minuets later we pulled into my apartment complex. I got excited seeing my black Mercedes that I hadn't seen in months parked in my parking spot.

"There's my car!" I said excitedly.

We parked and Steph opened her door.

"Bitch you not gonna get out?"

"Dave doesn't like me touching doors..." She laughed. "Awww that's so sweet!"

Just as she said that, Dave came opening my door and I got out. We went to the trunk and got the bags out. Steph shut it.

As we were walking up to my door, I started to feel funny. Stephanie took out my keys and put them in the lock. I could feel my anxiety slowly take over.

"K, your ready?" Steph said turning towards me.

Dave rubbed my stomach. "Babe if you're not ready, it's okay. We can take your things and go back to my house." He said into my ear.

I shook my head. "No no I'm okay. I'm ready." I said quietly.

Steph twisted the door knob and they both walked in. I stood there a minute getting myself together.

I walked in slowly. The aroma of a sweet fragrance filled my nose.

I looked around. Everything was perfect. I walked into the living room. Looking at the couch, I noticed the huge blood stain that was once on it was now gone. The pillows were propped up.

I walked upstairs and went into my bedroom.

The bed was perfectly made.

The lamp that I had broke onto Amir's head was sitting on the nightstand. Stephanie had replaced it. She replaced everything that was knocked over or damaged in the process.

By the lamp was a picture frame that wasn't there before. Inside it was a picture of me, David, Stephanie, and Jd smiling. I walked down the stairs and noticed all the pictures Stephanie had hang/put up.

"Do you like everything? I made a little change if that's okay..." She spoke up.

My eyes watered and I walked to her. Engulfing her in a hug, I whispered "Thank you..."

"You're welcome.." She smiled. "Alright, well if there's anything you need call me. I'm gonna leave because y'all need to be alone." She gave me the eye. I sighed. "Okay love you." "Love you too."

"Bye!" She said going out the door and shutting it.

I noticed Dave no where in sight. "Davidddd!" I called out. He didn't answer. I walked up the stairs.

"Daviddd!" I whined. I heard water filling up the tub. I walked into the bedroom and saw him coming out of the restroom.

He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. He started to rub on my butt.

"David baby we need to talk..." I said as he pecked my lips. "Okay babe but first, you need to take a bath. I ran you some water."

I got out of his grip and walked into the bathroom with him behind me. There were bubbles and lit candles everywhere.

"Awww baby! Thank you!" I smiled and kissed him.

"You're welcome. You ain't gonna take off your clothes?"  "Yeah" I said stepping out of my shoes. "Alright well go head." He said leaning back on the counter watching me.

I laughed. I was about to tell him to leave but decided against it.

I stripped out of all my clothes.

"Mm, mm, mm..." David said as I smiled with my back turned away from him. "Shit..." He came up behind me and slapped my ass.

He walked out the room.

I sat in the water getting adjusted to the temperature. I laid my head back and relaxed.

30 minuets later, I got out and dried myself off. I yawned. I was exhausted as fuck and it's only 9:30 PM.

I usually don't even get tired at all. I didn't have the energy to go downstairs or to even eat. I was tired.

After I was done putting on my clothes and moisturizing my body, I cleaned out the tub, and climbed into bed.

The door opened but I didn't get up to see who it was.

"Babe I brought you a glass of wine." He said sweetly into my ear.

Lord knows how much I would love that glass right now...

I sat up. "Umm thanks babe but I can't drink that..." I said shaking my head. He looked confused.

"But why? What's wrong? Are you sick?" I shook my head. "No..."

"Are you sure? You've been sleeping more than you normally do."

"Umm, babe... There's kind of something I need to tell you..." I said quietly. He sat the glass down on the nightstand and climbed into bed with me.

"Okay Baby. I'm all ears."

My mind and heart was racing. My mind was telling me not to tell him, but my heart was telling me to confess.

"Dave, I-I..."

"What babe? You're what?"

Am I ready for this? Will he be okay with the fact that it's not his child and still raise it as his own?

"I um..."

"Spit it out Angel!"

Will he treat the child differently? I can't take this anymore...

"Dave, David I'm pregnant..."

Hey my loves! I need a damn nap 😩
