Tests

It's been a few months since that lovely afternoon with Joe. I've only seen him a few times since then, because of all the traveling he has to do. There are some days we talk all day and there are others when we don't talk at all. Sometimes I can't help but think about all the women that throw themselves at him. I mean, we're not official or anything, but, ugh!

"Girl, you just have to worry about you and your kids, if he's serious he'll prove it. Just give it some time," Trinity advises me.

"I know, but after two months you would think we would at least be a couple. Some days it's like he doesn't even care," I say looking down at my plate.

"I can tell he does. I work with the man." As Trin says this I get a really bad feeling in my throat and I run to the restroom.

I find myself hovering over a toilet and Trinity holding my hair. I've been feeling really odd these last few weeks.

"Are you okay? Do you think you have the stomach flu or something?" She asks

"I don't think so. I've been really sensitive to smells and I've been getting nauseous," I reply.

"Letty, when's the last time mother nature has visited you?"

I turn my head towards her slowly and my eyes get really big. "Fuck!" I start crying.
~~~~~

I pull into the drugstore parking lot and Trinity jumps out and goes in to buy a few pregnancy tests. I'm just sitting here thinking about how I'm not ready for another kid. And how Joe would take this. Would he be happy? Or would he turn out like all the other men that have been in my life? 

I can't take the anxiety! She hurries out with a plastic bag in hand. I speed home to take these stupid tests. I just hope I'm not pregnant.

~~~~~~

"Hey... Joe?"

"Letty? What's wrong?"

"I... I...." As hard as I try I can't get the words to escape my lips.

"What? What are you trying to say?"

"Can you just stop by my place ?" Is all I manage.

"Yeah wh-" I don't even let him finish before I hang up the phone. The tears flood out of my eyes.

I can't believe this is happening to me again. Why can't I do anything right?
I just need to stop having sex. It seems like every time I do I end up with a child or in a horrible relationship.

My bedroom door opens and Jacob walks in. He sees at me crying and run towards me. "What's wrong mom? "

"Nothing Mijo, I just don't feel well, that's all, " I reply embracing him.

"Are you sure? " he says tilting his head.

"Yes, now go check on your sister," I say putting on a smile. He runs out the room. 

Just before I break down again I hear the doorbell ring. I jump up wiping my eyes and heading downstairs. as I reach the door I see Joe's muscular silhouette through the window. I check my my face in the mirror to make sure that I don't look too hideous before I open the door.

As I open the door I see a worried expression on his chiseled face.

"Are you okay? Why did you want me to come over?" Hey asks.

"Uh... hi?" Is all I manage.

"Sorry, hi," he smiles then it dorps, "what's wrong?"

I move out of the way so he can walk in and close the door behind him. I silently walk to the couch and sit.

I can't help but think about that night we spent talking and laughing. It was merely hours before the actions that leads us here, today, happened. 

I feel his grey-blue eyes staring at me. I turn and look at him. The moment I do the tears begin to fall. I feel his warm arms wrap around my waist and pull me close.

"No matter what happened, baby girl, it's going to be okay. " This just makes the soft cry turn into an uncontrollable sob.

I open my mouth to speak then close it. I try to put the words together but I can't. I again open my mouth but this time more tears  fall.

"Joe, I'm pregnant," I whisper.

He loosens his arms and holds me by the shoulders. "Wait, what? " his brows furrow.

"We're going to have a baby." His mouth drops.

"Wh-what do you mean? How do you know? "

I stand up and walk up the stairs.  I hear him follow closely behind. I pick up the pregnancy test from the counter in my bathroom  and show it to him. He takes it from me. I lower my head and wait for his reaction.

I feel myself being lifted up & spun. I look down to a smiling Joe. I can't help but smile back.

"You're okay with this?" I ask.

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? I mean it did happen a little sooner than I'd hoped but it doesn't matter." I stand on my tippy toes and give him a soft kiss.

"Wow, you've had a much better reaction to this than I have," I say wrapping my arms around his torso.

~~~~~~

"Hey, I know it's been a while but I miss you guys & I have something important to tell you, so please call me back. I love you guys, bye."

I haven't spoken to Nikki nor Brie since that morning of the date. I really do miss them. They're the closest thing that I've had to sisters. I really hope they call me back. I know they're in town so I'm sure if I had to I could track them down.

"When's the last time you spoken to them?" Joe asks as I throw myself back on the bed.

"2 months ago..." I reply meekly.

I climb on top of him and sit straddling him. I kiss his soft full lips then rest my head on his chest. I feel his body moving with every breath.  He wraps his arms around me and we lie there.

My phone buzzes and it's a text from Trinity.

"How's it going?"

I smile and reply "Good, he took it very well. Thank you for being there for me. You don't know how grateful I am too have you."

She replies almost instantly.  "No problem boo,  you know I'm always there for you. Speaking of being there for you, want me to take the kids out? We have ours visiting. " I smile ask Joe if I should let them go & he says yes.

"That would be perfect thank you."

~~~~~

After saying goodbye to my little ones Joe and I lie on the couch cuddling.

"So does this mean we're together?" I ask looking up at him.

"What do you mean? Since when haven't we been?" I cock my head back.

Wait to him we've been "official" this whole time? Why did I not know that?
