Only The Strong Survive

We were in the car on our way to my moms house. The kind of speed we we're going could've cost us a ticket. I'm guessing that their all late for work. I really wanted to talk to Outlaw but now is not the time, I'll wait until later. We finally got to my moms place and as she saw us pull up, she came outside.

Louise-"I was'nt expecting to see you again, at least not until the baby was born, why did you come back so soon"

Vashti-"Ask Outlaw"

Outlaw-"I only brought her back so that she won't be lonely at home, everyones going to work".

Louise-"okay"

What! She did'nt argue? There's no cursing? She's not pulling scene? Wow, I slept away from her for one night and she changed? As outlaw and his fam drove off, I sat on my moms front porch jus thinking, my mom could see that something was bothering me so she asked....

Louise-"What happen?"

Vashti-"Nothing, I'm just kind of tired and hungry"

Louise-"why didn't you let Outlaw get you something to eat before he brought you home?"

Vashti-"I don't kno"

My mom got on the phone and called Outlaw. She asked him why he brought me home hungry and knows that I am pregnant. I couldn't hear his response beacuse she didn't put the phone on speaker. I took out my phone and texted Outlaw and told him that I was hungry, he didn't text back, he called.....

Outlaw-"didn't I asked you if you were hungry, if you knew that you were, then why did you tell me no?"

Vashti-"I wasn't hungry then, but I'm hungry now.

He sucked his teeth and hung up on me. A few moments later, Outlaw pulled up and brought me something to eat and then he said that he would see me later.After he left, I was starting to feel bad because I felt like I ruined his morning. I went through the whole day thinking about him and hoping that his day was going well. Later that evening, I called him to find out how his day was going so far, he told me that he couldn't talk because he busy, so we hung up and I went in my moms room to charge my phone and catch a quick nap.

   Two months has gone by and my stomach stil isn't showing. Today Is going to be my first time going to the clinic. I'm not really nervous because I don't know what to expect, I am just hoping that our baby is healthy. I got up early this morning and bathe and hot dressed. I had on a simple summer dress that falls just under my knees, its pink and black, I wore my flat black slippers with it. After I got dressed, I asked my grandmother if she can give a ride to the clinic while she's leaving for work (she works at the clinic where I am going). She told me to to go to the car and wait for her and she will be out in a minute. As my grandmother came outside and opened up the car and we both got In and took off. As we were on our way to the clinic, I started to feel really bad. I felt a tightening in my stomach, it felt as if someone was holding my stomach from the inside and twisting it around. Then I got a nauseous feeling as if I had to throw but nothing came up.

    After I was done with the doctor, it was time to go home. I couldn't wait to get home and call Outlaw and tell him that the baby is healthy. I caught a bus in town and walked home, and since my mom only lives about twenty (20) minutes away from downtown, I didn't mind walking because I needed the exercise any way. As I walked in my moms yard, our neighbor Sha'mel called to me..

Sha'mel-"VASHTI!!"

Vashti-"YEAH"

Sha'mel-"I need to talk yo tou"

Vashti-"about?"

Sha'mel-"I can't hide it anymore, a few days ago ya baby saw me at his cousins place and he came on to me, we slept together and I thought that you should know."
