|Saria's POV|:

"Grant I don't want to do this" I said as he gave me a 4 pound weight.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant now which means that I'm at the end of the first trimester, the bump started to be a bit noticeable.

Anyways Grant has dragged me to the at home gym. He's been blabbering about how working out is good for me and peanut and how it'll help me snap back after having him or her.
"You'll thank me later" he said doing the bicep curl with the 40 pound weight. How the hell-

I copied him. Damn either I'm hella out of shape or 4 pounds is heavier than I thought.
I got tired and sat down
"Oh no no. you had your break 5 minutes ago" he said pulling me back up

"Grant if you think I'm getting fatter just say that" I crossed my arms. He placed the dumbbells down and pulled me in by my waist
"The only thing on your body getting fatter is your ass" he said and slapped it. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my water bottle.

"I'm done for the day"
"Saria we've only been in here for 10 minutes"
"Ok but Oreo ice cream and sour cream sounds really good right about now" I said and his face twisted in disgust
"That's disgusting" he said and I waved him off  "Disgusting to you but delicious to me and peanut" I said before heading to the kitchen

We haven't told Jaylen, Jaheim, and Jabez yet because we want to tell them altogether but Jaylen has been really busy with law school and hasn't been around.
Signorina Denise, his mother, and his father know. We're telling his sisters when we tell Cami, Ja'Nell, and Nayline at Grant's birthday dinner Saturday evening. I'm so excited to tell them, it's almost slipped out a few times. I've been wearing Grant clothes to hide my growing bump which I don't mind because they're so comfortable.

"Saria don't make me throw up" Jaheim said as he walked into the kitchen
"You and your father are haters, this is delicious" I said taking another bite, he made a puking face, I ignored him.
"Saria"
"Yes Jaheim ?"

"What should I get my dad for his birthday?" I shrugged
"You've been with him since you were in the womb, I should be asking you"

"Yea but you spend more time with him now, the macaroni art I used to give him won't cut it" I laughed
"He was talking about this watch he liked but just as I was thinking of buying it he bought it himself" I said now washing my empty bowl

"Would he want a car?" He suggested
"Maybe, depends on if he's tired of the 30 others" he laughed

"Maybe just think of something sentimental because he's harder to shop materialistic wise" I suggested and he nodded
"Thanks Saria" he said before leaving the kitchen

A few days later

Since the announcement to our friends about the pregnancy was in 2 days we wanted to tell the boys first.

Grant was able to convince Jaylen to take a break from studying to have dinner with us.

We were now having dessert and I lightly kicked Grant under the table to indicate he should start talking.
He cleared his throat.

"So you all know that Saria and I have been dating for over a year and-" he was cut off by Jabez
"You guys broke up?"he asked
"No" I said quickly

"Are you guys finally engaged?" Jaheim asked
"Not yet, but very soon" Grant said
"Dad are you dying, is that why you were convincing me to come tonight?" Jaylen asked and Signorina smacked the back of his head as she passed by and muttered something in Italian "stupido culo" (dumbass)
"Oww, it was just a question" he said rubbing the back of his head

"Is Saria dying?" Jaheim asked and I choked on my peach cobbler and Grant patted my back as always
"She's about to if you don't shut up and let me talk" frustration was laced in his voice. I took a sip of water and was fine.
