Chapter 44

Giovanni POV

7 months later...

I watch as imani opens her beautiful eyes and adjust them to the morning light showcasing the honey color in her eyes. She sniffles a bit and turns her head to face mines, smiling once our eyes meet. "Morning." She says, covering her mouth then taking a yawn.

"Good morning." I softly say to her. She gets up out the bed then stands there looking dizzy holding her stomach. I get up quickly looking at her, holding her making sure she doesn't fall. "Are you okay? How do you feel?" I ask.

When our eyes meet for a quick second I see something flash in hers. Like a quick memory that comes then goes. "Uh.. I'm fine." She gets up then goes to the bathroom. A few second later I hear her throwing up, "mani!" I quickly run over to open the bathroom door just to see her on the floor looking like she's about to cry.

"Are you sure-" she cuts me off. "Gio..." She looks at me knowingly. Shit.

•••

After we got back from the pharmacy buying pregnancy tests, Imani immediately went to go take them. It's been about 10 minutes since she took all four. You know, just to be sure.

"Times up gio." She says, her voice small. I walk over to her and kiss her on the forehead, "no matter what the test says, imma always be here with you baby. Ti amo." I say to her. She nods her head and we both walk into the bathroom.

We look at the test. Positive. They all say positive. I can't help but smile, I almost wanted to yell but I cut that short once I see the look on Imani's face.

"What's wrong?" I ask. "I'm pregnant." She says. "Yes you are mama. Are you not happy?" I question her worried. She doesn't have to keep it she doesn't want to. Although, i would love for her to be the mother of my child. "I am but... that also mean I got pregnant by two different men... people gonna think I'm a slut or something." Tears start to well up in her eyes.

"Your not, mama and you shouldn't worry about what other people think about this baby or you. At the end of the day, your the mother of this child no one else is." I kiss her cheeks and wipe her tears. "What do you think it'll be?" She says me.

"I don't know and I don't really care.. at the end of the day it's still my child." I say and she slaps my arm. Her face goes straight then she gasps, "how are we gonna tell Ari?" She says looking at me with wide eyes.

"Umm... im pregnant? I don't know." She rolls her eyes. "Get me a plastic bag so I can put these in it." She says, I side eye her.

déjà vu.

She looks at me and cringes, "sorry... but still go get me that bag." She shoos me. I roll my eyes and go downstairs to the kitchen looking for a plastic bag. Once, i get one, i jog back up stairs. I go into arianna's room and check to see she is still sleep.

Months ago before Imani and ari had to go back home, i had asked them to move in with me. Imani said she would love to only if it was good for and with Arianna. And it was. We sent ari to a pre-school where she has made lots of friends and she told her mom, who told me, some little boy likes her.

Jamie is his name. I've seen him before. Shy kid, big glasses that showcase his light brown eyes, his wavy-curly hair,his dimples, and he's Puerto Rican.

She claims she doesn't like him... yet.

I close arianna's door and go back to Imani. "Is she up?" She asks while laying on the bed, i hand her the bag while shaking my head no, laying a light kiss on her forehead. She gets up and place all the pregnancy tests in the bag then washing her hands.

When she comes back to lay down, i ask her "we can tell her tonight? If you not ready to do it when she wakes up." I say, as she lays on my chest closing her eyes.
She hums, "yea, we could do that."
