Reveal
Waking up to Keisha and her mother bickering was not the alarm clock I had in mind.
Everytime my belly would show She would stare but not say a thing she knew I did not want to talk about it. I was just one month how could I show so aggressively. I got a little job to keep me steady, To get what I need. Keisha wouldn't leave me alone with her mother, Honestly she scares me. Keisha mom was on disability so Keisha helped her alot. But they would curse eachother out. Jerry would visit her, they would sit in the car for hours.

I feel like today is a good morning. I made love to the Mrs; check.
Took out the trash check.
I forgave Jerry, We didn't know eachother well back then. So I have no reason to be mad at my bro,
I could hear him coming from a mile away. You want to know why? because before he gets to my office he calls my Name several time.
Jerry: Bro
Derin: Bro
Jerry: Your ex is killing me bro
Derin: Who Joana?
Jerry: Yes
Derin: Haven't heard from her in a month, How Is she doing?
Trying not to remember of the sexual dream I been having about her lately With some old guy telling me she's the one for me. Everytime I got up I made love to Amber to remind me that's who am with.
Jerry: She got into it with her parents and now she is living with Bae.
Derin: What's the problem?
Jerry: She's not coming over no more. I would try to convince her to spend the night but she will tell me that joana is fragile right now she can't leave her side.
Derin: Fragile? haha fragile how?
I said laughing shredding papers
Jerry: She's pregnant bro
The whole room Suddenly went gray. I heard nothing else this boy was saying. He left to do his work. I was stuck in one position. Did he just say pregnant. It's been nearly 5-6 Weeks since we got back.
##Joana ##
I finish my shift it's been a long day. but we got through it. My feet was killing me I work as a receptionist at this small law firm I was greateful they hired me regardless of my predicament. It pays well, I can't complain. I was thinking instead of living on campus I might just get my own apartment. My originally plan was to stay home but things have changed. I change my number my younger sister was the only
who had it. I didn't want to abandon her. After everything I did for this family they kicked me out, there was nothing to discuss.
Keisha: Lets go.
I got in the car and received a email from the school explaining a delay. I was surpose to start next week but now they saying in 4 weeks. Ugh how annoying.
Keisha: You never know why.
We got some food on the way. She informed me she will be living with her boyfriend. I had no problem I had enough to put down on a studio apartment near the school,
The rent was affordable.
We got to the house I seen clothes on the bed.
Keisha: Go freshen up
Joana: Why?
Keisha: We got dinner plans
Joana: Ouh I hope the have crab legs
She just smiled. She was trying not to say any words relating pregnancy. I got dress, got in her car. I was so excited going out to eat. When we stop at a familiar place I refused to get down.
Keisha: Don't make me hurt you. Get out the car.
Joana: I hate you. I felt like what I was wearing didn't fully cover my belly the way I wanted it to. I grab her jacket that was hanging from the back of the driver seat. When we got in, a nice candle lite dinner With steak and fries with vegetables. Keisha shove me to get fully inside. Jerry got up and put a chair for both of us. Amber served the food. It seems like there was white roses in the middle of the table, the light was turned off leaving only the white table and chairs. I took my cup of water and started to sip I didn't want to talk to anyone here. Am going to kill Keisha
Derin: Heard your pregnant?
He said cutting his steak with his knife, Using his fork to stuff it in his mouth. Casually
Joana: Yeah.
Derin: How far along are you?
Joana: 1 month if am not mistaken.
He sip his glass of whine and continues eating
Derin: A whole month did you let the dad know?
Was he upset at me right now Mr. I only care for Amber?
Amber: Wait did you and Diego?
I didn't respond to her. She was a non factor to me.
Amber: You could ignore me but am not the irresponsible one here.
Keisha: I really don't like you.
Amber: Please you love me.
Jerry was eating his food all red. Keisha was sizing up Amber. Derin kept eating and looking at his plate.
Joana: How did you find out?
I ask shyly, not that I didn't know the answer
Derin: Jerry, who got it from Keisha.
Joana: I could always count on my best friend to run her mouth. I swear she couldn't even hold water.
I said given her a deadly stare
Amber: The way me and Bae been going at it I might be joining you soon. Babe can you see my stomach like that?
Derin: What are your plan for the baby?
Joana: Am having it.
Something about when he get serious, I have to answer, this man have Complete control over me. He remind me of my dad in some way, Or maybe it was that I always thought he would of been my husband, Maybe am respecting him as a wife?
Amber: You haven't touch your food prego
She was so annoying.
Derin: Uh uh sit down and eat. Your the type to not eat for days when you stressing.
Joana: I'll vomit this
Derin: It's fine am sure is gas. After your done vomiting continue eating.
I nodded and sat back down. Preparing myself for this horrible ride. I started eating then I ran to the bathroom. When I walk back to the kitchen he was done with his food but waited for me to eat again. His supervising me eating now ugh?
Joanna: Here.
I said angrily handing him the empty plate. I got up now to meet with Keisha outside.
Derin: Wait.
What is it now?
Derin: Let me get your phone
Joana: Here
Handing him my phone. He called his.
Derin: Nana don't ignore when I call.
Joana: Okay.
I said rubing my forehead
Derin: When is your next doctor appointment
Joana: I haven't seen a doctor
Amber: That's just sad. You sure you ready to be a mom?
I walked outside to meet with Keisha.
