Chapter||12

They tellin' me to be cautious

Bitch, I'm in safe mode

I can't fuck none of my old hoes

They'd probably try to record it

Them niggas want me with child

I'll probably pay to abort it, fuck

Saturday 11th August

3 weeks later

"She hasn't uttered a word since she's come out the hospital, I'm worried about her" Kamiya spoke to Robyn through the phone.

"She's just been through a traumatising thing, she needs time plus didn't you say she has an appointment for the doctors today," Robyn asked

"Yeah it's at 12:15 and I'm taking her" She replied as she flipped the pancakes. "I was supposed to take her last week but she wasn't up for it so we had to reschedule".

"She's probably worried about that as well, just give her space and time" Robyn concluded nodding her head.

"You're right, well I'm finna finish off these pancakes let me call you later" She has the phone between her head and shoulder, so she was struggling to do stuff with her neck crooked.

"Okay, Luv you" Robyn hung up the phone and now Kamiya could finally cook breakfast fast enough before they all woke up.

Just as she finished up cooking the last piece of bacon Kairo, Jakari and Aaliyah had made themselves comfortable on the bar stools ready to eat.

"Is Armani up?" Kamiya asked Kairo placing a plate in front of him and a smaller one for Aaliyah.

"Yeah she's up, but she was just staring at the ceiling, I told her breakfast was ready but she just looked at me blankly and turned back," he sadly replied. Kairo was worried about Armani because since she's been released from the hospital she hasn't spoken to anyone and she's barely eaten.

"You think she should go to therapy," Jakari asked softly before sitting down to help Aaliyah with her food.

"That would be good for her, some people like to talk to strangers rather than people they know," He replied before sniffing and wiping his nose feeling some of the substance he had taken just before he came downstairs still on his nose.

"I'll set up an appointment for her next week," Kamiya stated as she began to eat her own breakfast.

11:30

Kamiya knocked on Armani's bedroom door softly with her clothes on and ready to go. She was sporting a light purple and lime green windbreaker in which she paired it with some plain white cycling short. On her feet were some white Air Force 1's that she had just bought considering Aaliyah he mashed up her previous ones. A few seconds later the door opened and Armani stood there with dried up tear stains on her face as she stared blankly at Kamiya.

"You ready to go," Kamiya softly asked as she looked at her with empathy.

All Armani did was simply nod her head as she squeezed her self pass Kamiya shutting her door behind her as she made her way downstairs and out the door heading to the car. Sighing Kamiya also made her way to her car but not before telling Kairo she was leaving and giving him and Liyah kisses. They made their way to the clinic in complete silence, not even the radio was playing as they both just stared ahead.

Ryan💓

Please talk to me baby

Are you okay

I know what today is, I'm here if you need me

Armani left Ryan on read not even bothering to reply to him or anyone. Since she's been out the hospital she hasn't talked to anyone, everyone's tried but she just hasn't budged.

It's taken a toll on everyone including Ryan, Destiny, Zouniia and Renee. Her friends at first didn't have a clue about Armani's disappearance but a few days after she was found Kairo thought it was best to tell them so they didn't think she just stopped talking to them for no apparent reason.

"I'm sorry" Kamiya spoke after a while of silence. Armani ignored her and pretended to be occupied with her phone.

"I didn't want any of this to happen, what happened a few months back was my fault and I take full blame, I never should have taken you with me," she continued as she began to get emotional.

"I thought he wouldn't be back for a while and I could have time to tell Kairo everything," She finished causing Armani to roll her eyes.

"If I could change my past I would, I would've never messed with Nick in the first place," she exclaimed as she pulled up in the parking lot of the clinic.

"Whatever happens today just know you have a great support system to help you get through it," She stated as she lightly squeezed Armani's hand.

The rest of the ride was filled with silence, not even the radio was playing as they made their way to the clinic. They finally made it and Armani took her time getting out the car dreading to even step foot into the clinic. They signed Armani in and now they were sitting down waiting for her name to be called.

"I'm with you every step of the way," Kamiya said as they began to stand up after her name was called.

"Good afternoon I'm Nurse Susan, what is it you wanted today," The nurse introduced herself.

"She wants to see if she's pregnant," Kamiya answered the nurse speaking for Armani.

"Okay so first I'm going to give you a pregnancy test and we'll go from there," The nurse handed Armani a cup to pee in before exiting the room giving them privacy. Armani quietly went into the bathroom and began to pee in the cup.

"Shit," she mumbled as her shaky hands spilt half of her pee on the floor. She simply left the bathroom with half a cup of pee in her hand and gave it to the nurse who had now come back.

Armani sat down in the seat with her leg bouncing up and down as Kamiya sat across from her and she could see the anticipation in Armani's eyes as they waited for the nurse to come back.

Knock

Knock

The doctor appeared as she opened the door after knocking.

"Good afternoon I'm Dr.Calloway and I'll be your doctor throughout your pregnancy," She mistakenly smiles at Kamiya.

"Deshawn can u make me some food," Asia asked as she breastfed Nija while on the couch.

"Baby I'm in the middle of a game," He said not wanting to stop.

"Please babbyy" she dragged out giving the puppy eyes even though he wasn't even paying attention to her.

"I'll give you some tonight," she revealed knowing that will get him which it did.

"Fine," he huffed as he paused the game getting up.

"Thank you, baby," she said as he leaned down planted a kiss on her lips before heading to the kitchen to make some food.

While Deshawn was in the kitchen his phone had been vibrating and the insecurity within Asia got the best of her. She couldn't take the suspense anymore and reached over to grab his phone and check it. She tried her fingerprint but scrunched her face up when it had still not opened.

This nigga, she thought.

Another message had popped up in the notification and she checked it.

Alexis🤫

Ms.thang missed u too😏

When u free?

She tried a few passwords but no of them worked.

"What the fuck can his password be," she mumbled to herself before looking at the twins.

"Shit that must be it" she excitedly said as she typed in the date of the night when she and Deshawn made the twins. The phone unlocked and she went fraught to the message thread with Alexis.

She began scrolling through the messages and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Alexis🤫

When you gone leave her?🤨

Soon I just need time

Time for what, it's simple

We have children together

She might not let me see them if I break up wid her

"He knows that's a damn lie," she mumbled putting Nija down so she can get more comfortable reading the messages.

Well I miss u😘, so u need to speed it up

I miss you too😘, but u know how damn difficult she is🙄

Ms thang missed you too😏

When u free?

Can u slide through tonight?

That was all she read before she placed the phone back where it was hearing Deshawn's footsteps.

"I made you some fries and chicken tenders," he smiled as if he accomplished something really good.

"Aww thank you, baby," she widely smiled as he gave her the food.

"Can I go back to the game now," he fake huffed and sat back down on the couch.

"Whatever" she rolled her eyes as she ate her food. After a while, Deshawn phone vibrated and Asia rolled her eyes knowing who it possibly was. She stared at Deshawn seeing what he was going to do. He simply ignored it but when another came through he paused the game and took a glance at it while trying to hide the smirk that formed in his lips but it was too late Asia had already seen it.

"What you over there smirking about," she playfully asked.

"Nothing" he nonchalantly replied shrugging then focused his attention back on the game but not before replying back to Alexis.

Leave the door open😏

"I have to head out soon but I'll be back later to check up on you, Deshawn said not even having the decency to even look at Asia while doing so.

"Why where you going?" she asked even though she had a clue on where he probably was going.

Alexis' house

"Handle business, the usual" he casually replied shrugging his shoulders.

Asia headed to the bathroom almost running to it as she hit the corner so she could secretly cry about Deshawn and his constant cheating. While she was in the bathroom Mya began to get cranky and soon she in full blown tears.

"What's wrong princess," he asked as if she would reply as he paused the game. She continued wailing even louder this time and by now Asia could hear her so she quickly wiped her face with a wet cloth and began to make her way back to tend to Mya. Just as she was about to hit the corner and enter the living room Mya had calmed down and her wails now turned into whimpers as she loudly sucked on her dummy.

Asia peaked her head around the corner to see what could magically make Mya calm down so sudden because usually, it would take her ages for Mya to calm down. She saw Deshawn crawling Mya in his arms as he stood up softly singing to her while smiling from ear to ear.

I can't take that away from him she thought

"You finna take her to bed," She asked as she made her presence known.

"Yeah, Nija over there on the floor playin and shit," he informed her, then went upstairs to put Mya in her crib.

"Hey stinka," she cooed making Nija start to babble.

"One down another to go," Deshawn said as he came jogging down the stairs. He began to rock Nija as well as wanting her to go to sleep so he can have alone time with Asia without the children. After 30 minutes Nija was sound asleep on his chest lightly snoring.

"Mamas out like a light," he chuckled as he got ready to stand up and head to the twins' room to put Nija to bed. While he was putting Nija to sleep Asia browsed through Netflix for a movie for her and Deshawn. Deciding to put on running out of time she paused it at the start to wait for Deshawn.

"We finna watch a movie," he smirked while rubbing his hands together.

"Yes, it called running out of time and we just watching a movie Deshawn, seriously," she sternly stared as she gave him an eye roll. Halfway through the movie they weren't even watching it, with Asia's head in Deshawns lap he stroked her hair as she stared at nothing in particular.

"I know you still talking to other women Deshawn" she informed him as she still looked ahead at her but Deshawn had stopped stroking her hair as he couldn't believe he wasn't smarter with his sneaking and shocked at what had just come out his mouth and that Asia was so calm about.

"I can ex-" he started to plead his case before Asia interrupted him and turned to look up at him.

"It's fine, don't need to explain," she turned back to face the tv closing her eyes to try and stop the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.,Just as she was about to fall to sleep she mumbled something to Deshawn.

"just go to her house after I fall into a deep sleep please."

After that, she fell asleep leaving Deshawn stunned as to what just came out of Asia's mouth.

But when a woman's fed up, she fed up.

Continuation

"Good afternoon I'm Dr.Calloway and I'll be your doctor throughout your pregnancy," She mistakenly smiles at Kamiya.

"Oh no I'm not the pregnant one, it's my sister," Kamiya stated pointing at Armani smiling awkwardly as Armani was still in shock.

"Oh sorry, well congratulations," Dr.Calloway said preparing the machines.

"Would you like to see your bundle of joy," She asked as she patted the bed for Armani to lay on.

She slowly got up with tears in her eyes and realisation got to her that she indeed pregnant, the thought of her being a teenage mother was getting to her and she wasn't sure if she copes with all of this.,She laid on the bed slightly lifting up her shirt showcasing her flat belly.

"The gels going to be a little cold," Dr.Calloway informed just before she put the gel in causing Armani to hiss at the cold substance but she soon relaxed.,She reached her arm out to Kamiya so she could hold her hand and Kamiya stood up heading to the bed to do so while giving her a small smile.

"Here's your baby, your about 3 weeks almost 4," She revealed wiping off the gel from her stomach.

"Would you like a picture," She asked

"No"

"Yes"

They both answered at the same time with Armani not wanting to and Kamiya wanting to. The Dr stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do as she looked between the pair.

"How about I give you," she pointed towards Kamiya,

"the picture and Ms White doesn't have to see it if she doesn't want to".

"Thank you," Kamiya relied as the Dr went to go retrieve the pictures she had just printed.

The sat in silence as they waited for the pictures. Minutes later the Dr came back with the pictures and handed them to Kamiya giving her a weak smile.

"Since you are pregnant I have to let you know that there are options, such as keep the baby or you could give it up for adoption after you've given birth or abortions but after 4 months you can no longer have an abortion, you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do," She informed Armani as Armani took everything in nodding her head along.

"So from there here's your prescription paper and just got to the front desk to retrieve them, I'll let you two go now see you at your next appointment," she handed Armani the papers before exiting out the room. As soon as the door closed Armani couldn't hold it in anymore and she sobbed. Kamiya quickly ran to her aid and began rocking her back and forth telling her it's all going to be okay but she wasn't sure if she was trying to convince Armani or herself that.

"I don't wanna be pregnant," Armani cried as she grabbed onto Kamiya more holding her tightly.

After a long few minutes, she finally had the courage to stand up and they made their way to the car to head home.

"You want something to eat," Kamiya asked as she was nearing to a Popeyes, Armani simply nodded her head, yes causing Kamiya to pull up.

"Let's eat in," Kamiya said as she got out the car as Armani rolled her eyes huffing but got out the car as well.

"Hey, what would you like to order," The worker said after they waited in line for a few minutes.

"Can I get a chicken burger meal with a sprite please," she said as she looked to the left of her indicating for Armani to order.

"Large or medium," The worker spoke before Armani could.

"Large please," she replied

"I want chicken tenders and a coke," Armani whispered to Kamiya.

"Can I also get a chicken tender meal please with a coke, make that large as well," She stated as she took out her card ready to pay. After getting their meal they sat down at a table and began eating their food. Hearing the sudden loud commotion Armani lifted her head up to see a group of teenage boys entering Popeyes.

"Oh shit," she mumbled as she saw Ryan with them laughing it up.

"They makin' so much damn noise," Kamiya stayed sucking her teeth.

"Can we go please," Armani asked on the verge of tears ignoring what Kamiya just said.

"Wait why, I haven't even finished," she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Please can we just go," She asked again packing her food back up in the bag.

"Yeah sure," Kamiya replied as she saw the scared look on her face.Just as Armani stood up and turned around heading to the exit she locked us with the one and only Ryan causing him to have a shocked expression on his face with his mouth open.

Before he could say or do anything Armani broke the stare and scurried off heading to the car. Ryan jogged slightly after her catching her up as he softly grabbed onto her arm.

"Don't touch me," she yanked her arm away from him.

"Let me ex-" he was interrupted by Kamiya as she came out and saw her snatch her arm away from him.

"Everything Okay Armani," she asked not even acknowledging Ryan.

Armani nodded her head and that was the queue for Kamiya to go ahead in the car.

"Let me explain," Ryan pleaded to her. Not getting a response back he decided to go ahead and explain.

"I'm sorry, those boys used to by my friends and they didn't like the way I just up and left them so they wanted to get back at me by doing whatever they did to you, I didn't know they were going to take you or anything I searched high and low for you but there only so much I could do, I was in the hospital for three days because of them and I had a broken rib, I tried everything to get back I really did," he revealed and by now he had tears down his face as he held onto both of her hands.

"You're my girlfriend I would never want to put you in harm's way ever," He said as she sucked her teeth at him.

"I'm not your damn girlfriend," she spat at him with hate.

"This is all your fault, I was supposed to be going college but because of you and your stupid antics I can't anymore," she turned on her heel forcefully wiping at her eyes heading to the car as she left a distraught Ryan standing there.

The ride home consisted of silence as Armani ate the remainder of her food.

As soon as Kamiya stopped the car in the driveway Armani hopped out slamming the car door and knocked on the door.

Kairo opened the door ready to greet them but Armani barged right by him and headed to her room.

"Is she," he trailed off and Kamiya nodded her head answering causing Kairo to punch the wall next to him and let out a scream.

"That fuck nigga," he screamed continuously punching the wall and Kamiya just stood and watched him not wanting to make the situation worse by telling him to calm down knowing that will only worsen the situation more than it is. After a while he calmed down and when upstairs to check on Armani and see how she's holding up.,Not even knocking on the door because he knew she wouldn't answer he walked right in her room and rushed to her once he saw her crying hysterically in her bed.

"It's okay, everything's going to be okay," he mumbled to her rocking her slowly as they sat on the edge of the bed.

She lifted her head soon as he said that and scooted away from him before shouting at him.

"Why do y'all keep saying that, no it's not going to be okay, I'm pregnant," She emphasised on the word pregnant, "by a rapist," she said with disgust shaking her head.

"It's not okay if I have this baby I'm reminded of this every single day of my life until I die," she reminded him as she stood up. Kairo just let her rant knowing she needed to get everything off her chest before she stresses out the baby.

"I can't live like this, having a baby and I'm only 18," she expressed making Kairo furrow his eyebrows trying to understand what she's saying even though he had a clue.

"So what are you saying, you know Grandma didn't raise you like that," Kairo stared as he stood up.

"You want me to carry a baby and I'm only a teenager, I'm traumatised for fuck sake," she began to shout towards the end,

"I was beaten and raped for days and you want me to push that bastards baby out," she made a face as if he was stupid with her hands on her hips tilting her head.

"That baby didn't do nothing wrong, it never asked to be here," He spoke in a calm manner.

"I didn't ask to be raped but yet here we are," she sarcastically replied.

"Imagine if your mama had an abortion after she got raped huh," he asked her looking her in the eyes knowing he got her but also angry that he had to bring that up.

"Don't"

"No, if aunty had an abortion you nor Jakari would be here, yes it's a fucked up thing but it came with a blessing, you and Jakari were the blessing and now that baby is going to be a blessing"

"I don't want to live with this," she threw her hands up in the air dramatically,

"I don't want this b-" she shouted before being interrupted by Kamiya.

"Everything okay," she questioned as she stepped further into the room.

"No nothing is okay, it's far from that," Armani answered giving her a glare which Kamiya brushed to the side.

"She wants an abortion," Kairo blurted

"Why wou-" Armani started but Kamiya butted in.

"We talked about this already Armani you have a great support system that would take care of you and the baby, your grandma didn't raise you like this"

"Oh please, you actin all sweet putting up a front for Kairo, don't talk to me about this shit," she gave Kamiya the eye telling her to mind her damn business.

"What you mean putting up a front for me," Kairo was confused on what Armani was talking about.

"She's just talking," Kamiya replied

"Am I," Armani challenged, "you want to be in my business so much but don't nobody know your business."

"I told you I had no control over that shit and neither did you and you know this," Kamiya was stepping closer to Armani while Armani also stepped forward causing Kairo to get in between.

"What is you talkin' bout," Kairo questioned either one of them.

"Tell him, Kamiya," Armani demanded.

"Stay in a child's place," Kamiya warned giving her the side-eye.

"But I'm in the same boat as you, aren't I," she smiled as Kairo turned to look at Kamiya.

"Kamiya what the fuck is going on," he slowly asked sternly.

"It's a long story," she sighed as she put her head down, she knew she had to tell Kairo sooner or later but she was hoping it would be later rather than sooner.

"Go to our room, I'll be there soon," he demanded and turned his attention back onto Armani.

"Baby girl you know I'll always love you, but please think about this," he kissed her on the forehead before making his way to his bedroom where a crying Kamiya sat at the edge of the bed.

"What the fuck is going on," Kairo slammed the door behind him causing Kamiya to quickly stand up in fright.

"I don't k-" she began to lie but the voice of Kairo stopped her.

"STOP FUCKING LYING BRUH," He shouted as he banged his fist on the dresser next to him causing Kamiya to slightly jump.

"Promise not to get mad," she tried to grab at his hands but he threw his hands up and backed away from her.

"It's too fucking late for that, say what the fuck you got to say, Kamiya," he demanded becoming impatient with her.

"I know Nick," she revealed.
