Omniscient POV
Jalanee sighed,trying to readjusting her jeans. She grew frustrated when the buttons on her jeans wouldn't go up.
"What are you doing?" Kayla said looking up from her phone.
"None of my clothes fit." She said. "Since when do you wear jeans anyways?" Jayda asked.
"I'm tired of dresses I can't be wearing those home all the time and none of my sweats fit either."
"So what make you think jeans gon fit?" Kayla said.
She shrugged and turned back to face her reflection in the mirror. She frowned as her eyes scanned up and down her body,she couldn't help but notice how her body changed in the last months.
"What?" Kayla asked her. Her lips began to wobble,with a tear rolling down her cheeks.
"Bitch what you crying about?" Jayda said walking to her side.
"None of this shit fit!"
"Babe you're almost half way through you're pregnancy..you're going to get bigger. Hips will get wider and thighs will get thicker." Jayda said slapping Jalanee's behind playfully.
"We'll go shopping later for some clothes." Kayla said gently rubbing her back.
"Then on top of that my ankles swell as fuck" She said flopping down onto the bed.
"Can't wait to tell Top about this shit." Ben said laughing at the door frame.
"Get out! This isn't funny." Jayda said trying to hold in her laughter. She chased him out the room and closed the door behind him.
"Ben hell,I swear they'll never know what it's like to carry a child for 9 months. But you'll slim down fast as hell once you give birth. You're naturally a petite women." Kayla said.
"Right,and plus the extra weight on your thighs look good on you." Jayda said. "Pregnancy is a beautiful thing..and plus you're carrying double the blessings." She squealed.
"I know." She said smiling at the thought. "So what am I suppose to do?"
"Go wear some of Kentrell clothes." Kayla suggested.
Jalanee sighed and walked over to Kentrell's closet. Everything in there from the scent,to the stacks of white t-shirts he loved to wear just made her miss him more.
"Mood swings a bitch." She mumbled to herself. Then to her delight,she was getting a call from a jail facility. She smiled,automatically knowing who it was.
"It's Kentrell,do y'all mind?" She asked softly,but quickly. They nodded and took their purses before walking out of the bedroom.
"You are about to receive a Collect Call from Kentrell Gaulden, an inmate housed at the Fulton County Jail. Press 1 to accept."
She quickly ran her thumb across the button,and shifted her weight on one side as the phone ring.
"You called at the right time." She said crossing her legs on the bed,wiping her dry tears.
"I don't know what the fuck taking them so long with my shit." He blurted out. She sighed and got herself comfortable on the bed.
"I don't know either. I heard they gave the body to not one,but a third medical examiner. They really trying hard to connect this to you baby." She said.
"I heard the same shit. But it's all good."
"You been in here for almost 3 weeks...I miss you." She said with her voice cracking.
"I miss you too. You been crying? Cut all that pussy ass shit out."He said. He always knew when something was off,and she was sometimes glad he did because she hated speaking on her own problems.
"How did you know?" She said chuckling a little. Hearing his voice always made her day a little better.
"You be doing all that sniffling like you on crack when you cry. Who fucking witchu?"
"Nobody." She smiled and paused. "I'm just adjusting to my body getting bigger. My clothes don't even fit me anymore,I didn't know twins grew this fast."
"I shoulda put three in you. So watchu wearing? You walking around naked?"
"You're crazy." She giggled. "But I got your clothes on."
"You go outside with that shit on?"
"I just stay home now a days...nothing really to do when you're not around so I don't worry about what I wear when I go out,"
"You better not be lying,fast ass."
She laughed,and sat up on the bed. "I swear! I just stay in bed and wait for your call every other day. The weather been bad lately,it just rains everyday. You got windows?"
"Mane where you think I'm at?" He said laughing. "They let us out in the courtyard every now and then,tell us get back inside when it start to rain. And I got a lil ass window on my cell back but it got bars."
"Well damn. Sorry I didn't know,I never been-" She started.
"I could tell. But say' you tryna make it your first time and come visit me? They said if I behave for another week I can start getting visitors. I wanna see you."
"Really?" She asked a little taken back,
"Yeah. Wassup?"
"I wanna see you too..just scared."
"Watchu scared of? Aint nobody gon touch you." He laughed. "You'll be behind a clear glass wall. Plus ain't nobody tryna hurt you."
"Mhm. I guess you have a point. You not scared that my face changed?"
"Watchu did? Done got you a face tat?"
"No. I'm just saying what if you see me and I looked so different and you get turned off."
"You get 10 minutes with me everyday and decide to speak on dumb shit,man I miss you." He chuckled. "I forgot to ask how my twins?"
"They're good..They really haven't been bothering me lately,just growing fast. My appointment is in a few days,hopefully you're out on time so we could go. We're suppose to finding out the gender."
There was a long pause in the call,she pulls the phone back to see if it hung up,realizing the call was still active.
"Hello?" She said confused.
"Yeah." Kentrell said sighing. "And if i'm in still here? What you gonna do ?"
There was another silence. Something they have spoken about for so long,she feared that he'd miss that moment. She never thought she would be spending the most valuable moments of her pregnancy alone.
"I don't know...I don't wanna go without you."
He smacked his lips. "Don't do that man.. I haven't heard nun about me getting out yet but I still want you to go. I'm sorry I can't be there,you know how bad I want to."
"I'm sorry too Kentrell,for all of this."
"Mane' quit saying you sorry. I'm in here cause I love you and I won't let nobody play bout you. I'll be damned if some shit like that happen again." He said aggressively.
"I love you too."
