Nadirah
It's been a few days since that incident that happened at Marcus job and I haven't heard from him nor have I reached out to him because he didn't want to hear my truth when I was trying to tell him so it is what it is between us I'm back focusing on me. There was a knock at my door I paused Grey's Anatomy and walked over to the door I unlocked the door I opened the door seeing Marcus I rolled my eyes and slammed the door.

"Dirah open the door."

"Nope."

The door opened and Marcus walked in Damn I should've locked it back.

"I'm sorry and I'm stupid for not listening or believing you but just going off of what I saw that was wrong of me and very stupid of me Sariah went off on me she showed me the cameras and told me to apologize to you but to let you cool off for a couple days that's why I haven't reached out to you."

"Mhmm."

"Do you accept my apology?"

"Ion know do I?"

"Come on Dirah."

"Come on Dirah what that shit hurt when I was standing in your fucking face telling that I he came onto me and he fondled with me that shit was embarrassing for me and you didn't believe me thank God he didn't find me in the bathroom and raped me because you wouldn't believe me at all."

"Yes I would've."

"No you wouldn't have Marcus because you didn't believe me when I told you that Roman fondled me he literally stuck his fucking hand down my scrub pants and fucking touched my vagina that nigga violated me and instead of you believing me you fucking didn't," I cried.

Marcus walked over to me and hugged me as I cried.

"I know baby and I'm sorry I'm so fucking sorry I was supposed to be on your side and protect you from niggas like him but instead I pushed you right into his arms listen I promise Ima make it up to you I don't care how long it takes baby Ima make it up to you we can go slow as you like we're doing everything at your pace."

I pushed Marcus away and stood up walking down the hall to the bathroom I turned the water on and splashed some water on my face and then I dried my face. I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.

"Are you okay baby?"

I held my hand up.

"Don't call me baby cause right now we're not on good terms I don't like you Marcus I love you like I'm in love with you and you know this but right now you hurt me so yes we can take things slow but you're have a lot of making up to do."

"Okay can I start right now."

"Yes."

"Alright go pack a bag."

"A bag for what?"

"A little mini getaway and before you asked I checked with Mrs. Beckham and she gave you a week off for you to get back right so you leaving won't interfere with your job."

"Okay."

I started to walk out of the living room but I turned around.

"Yes we're going somewhere that's sunny."

I nodded and walked out of the living room and made my way upstairs to my room to pack not knowing how many clothes I'm going to need I got my suitcase and duffle bag a woman can never have too many options.

Brielle
I knocked on the door and walked in greeting my patient and her mom.

"Hello Keela I'm Dr. Beckham."

"Hello Dr. Beckham."

I walked over to the sink and washed and dried my hands.

"When was your last menstrual period?"

"Almost 3 months ago on the 7th."

I put her information in the system.

"Lay back for me and pull your shirt up for me."

Keela nodded and did what I said I put in the date I grabbed the gel and shook it some.

"It's going to be warm okay."

"Okay."

I squirted some gel on her stomach and grabbed the transducer and placed it over her stomach.

"Okay here's your baby Keela your due date is February 11, 2045 and you're 15 weeks," I turned the screen towards her.

"Oh wow."

"Look at my grand baby oh my goodness Dr. Beckham can you tell the sex of the baby."

I moved the transducer around some.

"Wait I don't want to know the sex I want a gender reveal mama you can see but I'm not," Keela covered her eyes.

Her mama shook her head and I continued on with the ultrasound and took several pictures. I finished up with the ultrasound and I wiped her stomach.

"Dr. Beckham can you separate the gender pictures from the rest?"

"Yes."

I went in the drawer and got a pair of scissors and cut the ultrasound with the gender off of the rest and I handed it to Keela's mom I gave the rest to Keela.

"I want to see you back in 3 weeks."

"Yes ma'am."

"Go to the lab and get your lab work done before you go and get your next appointment card at the front desk."

"Yes ma'am."

I told them goodbye then I walked out of the room and made my way over to the next patient room. I knocked on the door I walked in I washed and dried my hands.

"Dr. Beckham please tell me that I'm dilated some."

"Let's see."

I placed the gloves on my hand put a little gel on two of my fingers.

"Lay back for me and put your legs here," I pointed towards the stirrups.

Niemah did what I said.

"Okay you're going to feel pressure from my fingers."

She nodded and I checked her cervix.

"You're 3 centimeters which is good so baby might be coming either tonight, tomorrow or within these next couple days."

"Okay good.

"Alright Niemah I'll see you when you deliver the baby."

"Yes ma'am and thank you for squeezing me in today."

"No problem."

We said our goodbyes I walked out of the room my pager went off I rushed to my office to grab my keys and purse I then rushed out of my office and through the front and out the door. I ran to my car and unlocked the doors I started up my car and placed my purse in the passenger seat and made my way over to the hospital.
