Ambitions

Prologue

Amira

Stuffing another oreo in my mouth I groaned as I felt the constant kicking in my stomach. Honestly being pregnant wasn't all that bad, but the pains were no fun. These past few days had been very stressful. Between managing with this pregnancy as well as talking to August's lawyers, I was tired and just wanted a break. It had been a few weeks since I last went to go visit August and I felt bad as hell for it. He had been wanting me to go and see him, however I declined every time. He didn't even know that I was pregnant. I felt bad as hell for the lying, but I knew he didn't need all this added pressure and stress put on him. He was going through enough already.

I picked my phone up when I saw it was ringing and answered quickly when I saw that it was August. It was silent for a minute till he said something.

"Hey." He mumbled dryly.

"Whats up with the dry hey. Whats wrong?" I asked trying to sit up a little bit.

"Don't act like you dont care man. Whats up with da fact dat you ain't been comin ta see me." He said annoyed. I had this coming to be perfectly honest.

"I know August. I just been really busy. Between trying to get in touch with your lawyer and having to pick up more hours to just pay for your lawyer I've had no time." I answered truthfully in a way. The other reason I hadn't gone to visit him is whats in my stomach at the moment.

"Ion care bout dat man. You coulda still made tie ta come and see me. Its been almost three months since you came ta visit my ass. Dats fucked up cause if it was you den I woulda visited yo ass 24/7. You messin with anotha nigga huh." me mumbled the last part.

"No August I swear. Its just really complicated to explain to you right now." I said.

"Well let me help you and make it not so complicated. Don't come ta see me, don't try ta call my ass while I'm in here. Fuck you Mir!" and with that he hung up. I bit my lip to prevent the tears from spilling out. I knew that there was no one to blame about this, but myself. However, I wasn't about to let what he said to me stop me from going to see him. I needed to get this mess together. I was gonna bring Mama Sheila with me. If he saw just me I had a feeling that he would end up not staying. But if I had his mom there then maybe it would help a little bit.

Going upstairs, I went and took me a quick shower before getting dressed. Since my shirts barely fit me anymore, I wore most of August over sized shirts. They weren't too snug, but they made it clear that I was very much so pregnant. Grabbing my phone and keys, I sent Mama Sheila a quick text explaining everything to her and went outside getting to the truck getting inside. Starting it up and backing out the driveway, I made my way to Mama Sheila's house to pick her up.

The ride was hella long. And since it was such a long drive, I had to buy a lot of food. Ms. Sheila was currently driving since I had fallen asleep so many times.I was just wanting to hurry up and get there. Once we pulled up to the facility my stomach began to do back flips. This honestly could go either way.

"Amira it's gonna be fine. August hot headed self is going to listen to you. If he don't I'll like what's left of his scrawny little ass." she said getting out the car. That made me smile a little bit. Following behind her, we went inside and got checked in waiting on them to bring him out.

August

After the little argument I ain't wanna be bothered wit nobody. Honestly I was in the wrong fah half the shit I said. Deep down I knew that girl would neva be out there fucking around on me, but then again the fact that she aint neva come ta see me had me wondering. And it hurt like hell. Sure I was able ta call her and what not, but I needed ta see her and actually hug her. Ian kno how long I was finna be stuck in hea and having her ta come see me was gonna be my motivation till I was able to go home. Laying back in my cot I heard my name getting called causing me to sit up.
