"I'm nervous, Malik." I said as we we walked into my doctors office.
"Me too." Was all he said as we walked up to the counter where I signed in.
"Thank you. The doctor will be with you shortly." The lady behind the counter said and we nodded as we looked for somewhere to sit.
There was pregnant women and babies everywhere. Some babies were crying and others were asleep. Some women had their partner with them and there was some who didn't.
I couldn't help but be nervous at the thought of all this. Malik grabbed my hand as he guided me to two empty seats sort of away from everyone else.
This was our first scheduled appointment but I could tell I was a little farther along than I thought because I was already starting to show a little bit.
Everyone besides my three friends still didn't know that we were expecting. They had sworn to not say anything because Malik and I still weren't sure what we wanted to do.
I looked over at Malik who was watching a dad rock his newborn to sleep.
The more time went on these past few weeks, I could tell Malik was starting to want this baby. He told me it was my decision and that he would understand either way.
"Fayth Patterson?" A nurse called near the office.
"That's me." I said as Malik helped me stand up. We walked back to the doctors office and the lady gave me a little cup to pee in. "I just need you to pee in this cup to confirm whether or not you're pregnant." She said and I nodded.
I walked into the bathroom and Malik waited in the office. I peed in the cup and washed my hands. I gave the cup to the nurse and put it in a ziplock bag.
