Me and Kentrell sat in the waiting room of the hospital waiting on any news about Chanel.

"You okay ma?" Kentrell asked.

"I'm good." I said.

I was just worried about Chanel right now. Only two people could be in the room. So she had Ben and her mom with her. She's just never experienced something like this. I was honestly irritated from all the mess that's been going on today.

"Kentrell why that girl don't like me?" I asked looking at him.

"Honestly I don't know." He said.

"It's crazy cuz I've never even spoke on her. She gotta see me when I drop though." I said.

I had already made the choice to beat her ass when I have my baby. This bitch really tried to run up on me and I'm big pregnant.

We sat in silence for a few minutes when we saw Ben come through the doors smiling.

"She hea." Ben said as Kentrell stood up and dapped him up.

"Congratulations brudda." Kentrell said turning around to help me up.

"Congrats Ben." I said grabbing Kentrell's arm and standing up.

"Y'all can come and see ha." He said leading the way.

"You ready?" Kentrell asked.

"I mean yeah." I said nodding.

"This gone be you in 3 months." Kentrell said.

"I know Kentrell hush." I said.

He started laughing knowing he was irritating me.

"You got some visitors." Ben said as he opened the door.

"Hold up I gotta take this call." Kentrell said grabbing my arm.

"Okay just come in once you done." I said following Ben.

My best friend laid in the bed with her braids in a bun playing with her baby.

"Oh my gosh." I said walking over to the side of the bed.

"Isn't she so pretty?" Chanel asked looking up with tears in her eyes.

"She is. I'm proud of you." I said wiping under her eyes.

"KK meet your auntie." Chanel said turning the baby towards me.

She was a pretty brown skin baby with chubby cheeks. She had a little button nose and was sucking her green pacifier.

"She looks like a doll." I said cooing at the baby.

"You wanna hold her?" She asked looking up.

"Um yeah. Let me wash my hands." I said walking over to the sink cutting it on warm water.

I pressed the soap dispenser 3 times and soaped my hands up then rinsed them off. I then rolled my sleeves up and got some hand sanitizer. You can never be to careful.

"Okay." I said reaching out for the baby.

Chanel carefully placed her in my arms.

"Hi pretty girl." I said smiling down at the baby that had grabbed my finger and had one eye slightly open.

"That's gone be you in a little." Chanel said leaning against her arm watching me talk to her baby.

"I know. I'm so nervous. Did it hurt?" I asked rocking the baby slightly.
