Down Bitch *Plus size story*

Joi POV

I held Linda's hand as we walked into the nail salon.

" so what did they say when you went to the doctors yesterday?"

" they said it was too early to tell but they did say that some women do still get your period through their pregnancy. I just can't help but be scared that maybe it's my PCOS affecting the baby but they said it's too early to tell the baby seems fine." We walked in line to sign in.

" well don't stress about it too much. That can also put the baby at more of a risk as well."

"Hey how may I help you?"

" yes we need two full sets for and pedicures. We also need a gel nail manicure and pedicure."

"Wine?"

"I left my ID." I lied.

"It's fine we got you we got you."

that's the one thing I can say looking exactly like my mom lets me get away with a lot of shit. This is why this is my favorite nail salons to come to because they never seen me and my mom at the same time but we look identical. It was scary. My mom is actually skinnier than me but I feel like because my mom wears dresses all the time or whatever they never really pay attention.

I helped Linda sit in the chair on the end right beside and Brianna sat on the other side.

"What color you want?" I handed her all of the colors.

"I want us to match."

" OK so let's pick one together which one catches your eye more." She pointed to the glitter. " OK so we can do this one on this finger." I tapped my index finger in my thump.

"Okay and this one." She picked green. "My favorite color."

"Mines too. Okay so we can do these two." I pulled her tablet out of my purse.

I loved and appreciated that Linda was a regular kid. She wasn't into social media only thing she cared about was her YouTube videos. Oh she watches is gymnastic videos or cheerleading videos or JoJo Siwa or other white families or just overall kid friendly families whether they are black or white. She was really a light in my life she was the baby sister I always wanted. She was very smart to be 10 years old.

" it is like I try not to stress myself about it but it's like if I do have a miscarriage it is gonna be all my fault. I could've easily fix this just by losing a little bit of weight."

" I can't tell you whether that would've helped or not but it's a lot of women of different sizes with PCOS. It isn't your fault but let's not think negatively. Everything is gonna be okay you are gonna be okay remember there is power in the tongue and everything you manifest comes true for some odd reason." She laughed softly.

" I know everything that I say comes true except us being rich." I nodded.

" oh my god my birthday is about to come up!"

" yeah what do you wanna do?"

" I don't know I was thinking maybe a dinner with me you and the boys or maybe home we can have like a little trip maybe just enjoy ourselves."

" yes. We should definitely go out of state. I have to figure out what I'm going to get you. We should go to like bitch not Miami because if you choose to stop being my friend I will stalk you forever."

" bitch we could go to Miami bitch you're stuck ain't no breaking up. You will not break up with me."

"Okay I'm down." She laughed. "How has your mom been?" She watched the lady started her foot bath.
