Tahani's Reality (Urban)

|You Blessed Me|

•Tahani Lowars•
"Hani"

The test read Positive.

After that everything seemed to change. I went to the doctor and I was indeed pregnant. The first couple of months were stressful. I worried about how my life would be now, how me and Taj would be now. But Taj and my aunt & uncle swore that no matter what they'd always be here for me and this would be one of those things we'd just have to figure out. I'm about to be a mom. To a whole human.

I didn't expect to be pregnant so young at only just nineteen. Didn't expect to be pregnant and not have a ring on my finger either. Sometimes life gives you things you aren't ready for and you just have to accept it and do the best that you can. And believe it or not over these few months I'm actually feeling even more excited about having a baby. I'm like five months pregnant now. I have a small pudge but it's still visible. And today is the day we find out what we're having.

I let out a shaky breath holding Taj's hand as the doctor preps me for the ultrasound. My shirt up as Dr.Patterson spreads the gel over my belly. "So what are you guys hoping for?" Naomi asks curiously. Her and Issac sitting on the chairs across from us trying to peek over and see what's happening.

"A healthy baby. I don't care what the gender is long as it look like me." Taj jokes causing all of us to laugh.

"Ready?" The doctor asks.

I nod the sound of my baby heartbeat filling my ears as I look up at the screen I can see it's body. My eyes water as I feel attachment to my baby. I smile when Taj kisses me on my forehead a smile on his face too. "And you see that right there...." The doctor points to the screen smiling.

"It's a baby boy."

"Taj"

I rub her feet watching as she caresses my face. I lean in pecking her on the lips. "I love you baby." I express.

"I love you more." She coes. Tahani always been touchy and affectionate but it's like since she's been pregnant she's been that times 10. But I don't mind I love having her up under me.

At first I was scared when I found out that she was pregnant. Only because I didn't want to mess anything up. Growing up I didn't know the first thing about having a father. Closest thing I've ever had to one is Issac. Besides him I learned how to be a man by myself. I want to do right by Tahani and our baby. I love this girl with everything in me, she's the first I want to carry my child and the last. We've been through a lot of shit but I can't think of anyone who would be better at being a mother than her. She's understanding, carrying, sympathetic, loving. Traits that a lot of mothers of here like mine, lack.

I rub her belly thinking of how my son is in there. My first son. And I'd do whatever in my power not to let him down. I'd keep him far away from these streets and this business. I'd make sure he has his head on straight like Hani did before she met me. I'll make sure his head stays in the books, that he goes to college and makes something of himself. I'll be damned if we raise a child just to lose it to some bullshit.

I feel her lay her head on my chest. "Did you go grocery shopping?" She questions breathing softly.

"Shit," I mutter. "Nah I ain't go babe. Can we do it tomorrow?"

I watch as she frowns. "We can't do anything. I'm pregnant I can't be walking around a big ass grocery store and lifting all that. I already fell yesterday getting out the shower. I'm scared to fall again."

I nod understanding remembering how I heard her fall from our bedroom. I was so scared I rushed her to the hospital. Luckily her and the baby was fine. She felt so bad but I kept trying to tell her it's not her fault. And that next time she gets out the shower just have me by her so that I can be there just in case something happens. To where I can stop her from falling.
