2 MONTHS  LATER

It's been 2 months. I decided to keep the baby. This kids really wanted me to keep the baby. Everyone was excited about me keeping the baby. I didn't know but everyone wanted me to keep the baby, they just didn't want to pressure me into keeping it if I didn't wanna. I'm currently 4 1/2 months pregnant and I feel better than I did at first. Still have morning sickness at times but it's not as bad. Also, I can keep most of my food down which I'm grateful about. My belly have grown, it's not all that big, but it's there. I've been healing and getting myself together. I'm better physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Tomar is the day for Aja and T's anniversary dinner. T decided not to do the vow renewal right now, maybe next year. We flew down earlier. We were currently at T and Aja's house. They have a bigger house which is nice asf. We were in the front room watching tv, I had just got out the tub.

"Ma did you put on your stretch mark cream??" Rhythm asked

"No, I forgot..." I said looking at her

"I'll go get it..." she said getting up but I grabbed her

"We'll put it on when we go to bed..." I said

"I wanna do it now, the woman told me to make sure you put it on everyday, and I got a gift for you..." she said smile
"So can I??"

"Sure baby..." I said and she flew to the room

"She makes sure you do everything you supposed to do..." Aja said

"She does. Even when she's not home, she calls me. Ma have you done this, this, and this. She likes to FaceTime me to make sure I've done everything..." I said laughing

"That's good..." T said and I nodded

Rhythm came back with the cream and a small bag.

"What's in there??" I asked

She opened the bag and pulled out some pregnancy belly rings.

"Where did you get these??" I asked looking at her laughing

"I ordered these off Amazon for you..." she said smiling
"Can I put them in??"

"Yeah..." I said looking at her

She got in front of me and took out the ones I already had in.

"When did you get these??" She asked

"I got the top one when I was 16 and the bottom when I turn 19..." I said looking at her

"Can I get one for my birthday??" She asked sticking the bottom one in

"On my behave yes, but you gotta ask your mom too..." I said as she twist the ball tight

"Mom can I??" She asked looking at Indigo

"We'll see..." Indigo said making Rhythm dancing while sliding in the top piercing

She tighten up the ball, then she started rubbed the cream on my belly. She made sure she got my sides and everything. She rubbed around my belly once more.

"Done..." she said closing the cream

"Thanks..." I said

"You're welcome..." she said smile while getting up

I pulled my shirt down when Liyah came and sat down beside me.

"How's Naomi??" I asked

"She's fine. Her granddad still hasn't woken up, but I told her if she needs me I'm on the first flight out..." she said

"I hope everything goes good..." I said rubbing her knee

"Me too..." she said

We sat in the front room and watch movies until we got sleepy. I got up, went to get some to drink, and went in the room. When I got in there Rhythm was laying out on her phone.

"So you just gone lay all ova the bed and not save me a spot..." I said looking at her

"My bad..." she said laughing

I cut the light off and got in beside her. She was on her phone for a while before putting our phones in charge and snuggled against me. I looked down at her and smiled before kissing her forehead.

"Ma..." she said looking up at me

"Yes..." I said still looking at her

"Will you and mom ever make up??" She asked softly

I was quiet for a while.

"I don't know Rhythm, but I hope so..." I said honestly

"I hope so too..." she said

"Have the baby start kicking??" She asked

"Yeah..." I said

Soon as I said yeah the baby got active. I grabbed Rhythm's hand and put it on my belly. She felt the baby move and her smile widened. The door opened, making us look up, and see Calm.

"Hey buddy..." I said smiling at him

"I came to check on y'all..." he said looking us

"We're fine..." I said

"Calm come feel the baby's moving..." Rhythm told Calm

He ran to my side of the bed, I grabbed his hand, and put it on my stomach. He felt the baby move and his eyes widened.

"Woah..." he said laughing still rubbing my belly

He lifted his hand up and tapped my belly three times. The baby kicked where he tapped making him smile.

"Do you know what your having??" Calm asked

"No, Liyah won't tell me..." I said

Rhythm chuckled.

"What??" I asked

"Nothing..." she says looking at me

Calm stayed in the room for a while before he left. I laid back and Rhythm moved closer to me. Within minutes we were both sleep.
