A Cry For Help

Fix It Jesus

*June 23, 2015*(Long ass day, I know)

Deona's POV

"Let me go Camry!", I screamed. "I didn't know he was your baby daddy until now." Camry kept roughing me up. She was hurting me but never once touched my stomach. Truth is, I've been knowing him for almost 6 months. "Please Camry stop hitting her.", Anisha begged. Camry looked at me with hatred in her eyes. "Get out my house Dee. Get your bags and get out my house." Camry yelled. She went up stairs and grabbed the bags I had packed and threw them down. "Come on Camry. She ain't got nowhere to go. Moma ain't gone let her stay there when she find out she pregnant.", Anisha stated. "NiNi, I don't care where she go and how she get there. But she finna get the hell outta my house. And I mean that.", Camry said coming down the stairs. I started crying, wishing this was all a dream. I knew Jaylin was Camry's babydaddy. "Deona, you have 5 seconds to get out my house.", Camry yelled. "5..4..", Camry counted. "Okay I'm out.", I said. "Anisha thanks for not having my back.", I added. Anisha hugged me and started crying. "I love you Dee. But I think it's time you learn like me and Camry had to.", Anisha cried.

I walked out the house with three bags. That's when I realized all I had left was myself and my baby. I had to get a job so I could have money. I had to continue HighSchool so I could be somebody. I'm only 15 years old with a baby on the way. I started shaking my head at myself while I thought about my next move. I walked to the payphone to call Moma . I didn't want to do it but I had to. "Hello?", she answered the phone. "Hey ma, can you come pick me up? Im at the payphone by McDonalds on Grand Blvd.", I explained. "I'm on my way." Moma didn't waste no thought or time coming to pick me up. "Deona what happened? Why are you not at school?", moma was asking so many questions. "Ma, can we talk about this later?", I asked getting upset.

When we made it to the house moma kept looking at me. I wonder do she figure I'm pregnant. I looked at the clock and it was only 12:03pm. I could go to school but I didn't want to be bothered. I walked to my old room and put my bags up. I was rubbing on my stomach for what seemed to be hours. I was getting bigger and bigger. Nobody at school even noticed. But moma would eventually see it or get a call from Anisha. My phone vibrated.

Jaylin 😍: Why u ain't never say Camry was your cousin Deona? And you only 15? What did I get into?

Me: I knew u was Camry's BD. I wanted to get prego by u becuz your kids are beautiful and I love u Jay.

Jaylin😍: Hw dumb do you sound Deona man? You're not having my baby. Nw Camry texting me on some dumb shit. Hw u love me? We had sex countless of times, but when have we ever just chilled. Deona I could go to jail, for fucking around with you. Wtf?

Me: Well it is wat it is. & yea I'm prego by u. 5 months to be exact😊

Jay never texted me back. I laid down and dozed off. When I got back up, it was 3:15pm I took a shower and changed into a big summer dress so my stomach wouldn't show. But I took a lot of pictures of my baby bump. Moma walked up stairs and stood in my doorway. "Wanna ride with me to Walmart?", she asked. "Sure, why not?" I responded, glad I pulled my dress down in time.

Me and moma was never as close as her and Anisha. Probably because I was so much younger. I don't act or look 15, so why treat me like it? I had a doctor's appointment at 5, that I almost forgot about. "Moma, when we leave here, can you take me to the library on Main St.?, I asked. "Yea I can.", she said pulling into Walmart parking lot. We shopped a while. Moma went to the electronics looking for an IPad. I turned and walked to the baby clothes. I saw a lot of outfits I loved. And today was the day I found out what I was having. "Deona I'm ready.", my moma said walking up behind me. We checked out and made our way to Main St. Moma dropped me off at the library and told me she'll be at the nail shop talking to her friend Jackee. I walked in the library and waited until Moma turned the corner. I then left the library and walked next door to the doctor's office.

I signed in and waited for my name to be called. There weren't that many people in there so after 5 minutes the nurse came out.

"Ms. Thomas?", she called out. I stood up and followed her to a back room. "The doctor will be in here shortly." I nodded and she left. Moments later, Dr. Ryan and a teenager walker in.

"Hello Deona, this is TaKevin Akers. He's training in this profession. Do you mind him observing your check up today?" Dr Ryan asked. I looked at TaKevin and he was fine as hell. I shook my head no and we started the process.

I lifted my dress up and Dr. Ryan let TaKevin apply the jelly across my stomach.

"Dr Ryan, you're need immediately upstairs!", the same nurse came in and said.

"Dr. Akers, snap the ultrasound by clicking R1 and selecting print. I have to go now.", Dr Ryan scurried out.

"You look mighty young to be having a baby.", TaKevin said.

"And you look mighty young to be a doctor.", I threw back.

"Well I'm 17. My school gives me credits to come out and do different assisting jobs. How old are you?", he asked. I was a little embarrassed.

"I'm uh, 15." I stuttered. The machine picked up a good enough picture to determine the sex of my child.

"Ms. Thomas, do you want to know what you're having?", TaKevin asked. The ultrasound printed out and I was excited.

"Yes tell me.", I jumped up. I saw a line between the baby's legs. I got disappointed because I wanted a girl. I guess TaKevin seen my expression because he said, "Well see this here is not a penis. This is the umbilical cord between your daughter's legs.", TaKevin smiled and I jumped in his arms. He held me for a minute and it was awkward. He let me down and handed me the photo and a card with his name and number on it.

I was so happy, I thought nothing of it. I walked back to the library and called moma to come get me. She pulled up in front of the library and I got in. "Moma, I have something I need to tell you."
