My Bestfriend's Brother

Chapter 7: When It Hurts

"Gotta Face Reality ." 

Kyla's P.O.V

     It was now 7:30 , I sat in my room really trying to play this next conversation out. But I don't think anything could ever prepare me for this. I stood up and slipped on my slippers. I grabbed my ultrasound pictures and took a deep breath. I walked out my room and out the apartment. Slowly going down the steps to my parent's apartment. I twisted the knob and walked right in.

"Wassup baby girl." My dad Kalvin spoke.

"Hey dad. Is mommy home?" I asked.

"Yea she's in the kitchen." He nodded.

    I think I wanna tell my mom alone , I was just really nervous about everything.

"Hi mommy." I whispered walking in the kitchen.

"Hi Kyla girl." My mom Kaleena responded. You guys see where all the K's come from.

"Mom I need to tell you something and I'm really scared." I rushed out.

"What's the charge now ?" She sighed.

I slowly slid the ultrasound picture out my pocket and slid it across the counter. She turned away from the pot finally looking at me with a half smirk. It dropped instantly once she saw the picture.

"WHO's is that?" She asked.

"Mine." I whispered with my head low.

"Kylaaaa." She dragged out. "Really ? REALLY?!" She exclaimed.

"What ? What's the issue ?" My dad asked rushing in the kitchen.

"Your daughter is pregnant. We're going to be grandparents." My mother yelled throwing her hands up.

"The fighting , the suspensions , all that wasn't enough for you. You had to go and add teen mom to your list." She ranted on.

"What are you gonna do Iyanna?" She asked calling me by my middle name.

"I'm so disappointed Kyla." My dad added before I could answer my mom. He walked out the kitchen immediately after. Leaving the house altogether.

"I'm keeping the baby." I spoke between tears. "I'm sorry mommy , I never meant to be a disappointment. I wanna do better and I will do better , I promise." I sobbed.

"Kyla you could never be a disappointment. I'm disappointed at the moment. But I still love you. Nobody is gonna baby you , you made this bed you have to lay in it now. I'll never abandon you, but it's definitely time to grow up. Congratulations baby girl." She said walking over to hug me.

    I hugged back as I continued to cry in her arms. She was way calmer then I expected. I'm starting to believe everybody thinks I need this baby , that he or she is gonna be the change I need. I also think so too , I have to better myself for my child.

"Is it by that Rasheen character ?" She asked finally letting me go.

"Rayshawn." I chuckled wiping my tears.

"Same thing." She smacked her teeth. "I hope you two are ready , babies are a lot of work and responsibility." She added.

"I am mom , I'm actually gonna start applying for jobs tonight. If you see anything open please let me know." I dragged.

"Of course. I'm glad to see you taking initiative. So how far along are you anyway?" She asked picking the ultrasound back up.

"Well I had my first appointment this morning and the doctor said I'm..." I started before she cut me off.
