Loved By The Ghetto (Urban)

Chapter 24

RECAP: "You want anything to eat before you go bed again? You haven't eaten a thing since breakfast."

"I'm good." I whispered.

"Okay, um, I'm gonna head off home now. My mum's been texting me all day." He laughed lightly. I turned on the bed till I was on my back. I sat up.

"Tell her I said hi." I smiled.

"Sure. She'll be happy to hear from you."

"She knows who I am?" I furrowed my brows.

"Er, yeah. I kinda told her everything about you." He admitted, laughing nervously.

"For real?"

"Yeah." He looked up at me sheepishly. "I knew we would be friends and I used to think about you a lot and me and my mum are close so we talk about a lot." he rambled. I nodded.

"Rah. Well, okay." I was a bit shocked.

"Sorry."

"Nah it's okay. Do your sisters know about me too?"

"Well they know of you, they don't know about James or Reuben or none of that stuff. They just know I talk to you."

"Oh. Maybe I'll come round and meet them in person one day." I suggested.

"Sure. Just let me know when you're free and I'll come pick you up." He nodded.

"Cool."

"Yeah. Well, I should get going." He stood up.

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Later."

"Oh, and thanks for everything you bought for the baby today, that was really really sweet and thoughtful of you."

"No problem b." He smirked. I stood up and hugged him. He slowly wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead as we pulled away from each other. He kneeled down to my stomach and placed his hands on either side.

"Goodnight to you too little one." he said to my belly. "Don't be giving your mum too much trouble while she's sleeping." he smiled. I laughed, throwing my head back. I felt slight pressure on my belly but dismissed it. "Woah." Jake whispered. I looked down.

"What?" I frowned. He looked up at me smiling.

"The baby... kicked." He opened his eyes wide.

"What? For real?" I asked. He nodded and I lifted up my top. "Talk to him again."

"Uh what's good munchkin." He stuttered. I looked at my stomach and saw a bump forming as the baby moved. I gasped and Jake laughed.

"Oh my days!" I exclaimed. "Yo, that is the weirdest sensation ever! Trey, Sean you have to come and see this!" I shouted. I waited for them to come into the room before Jake spoke again.

"You gonna dance for your uncle or nah?" He said. The baby moved and I grinned.

" Did you guys see that!?" I exclaimed happily. I pressed on different parts of my stomach and the baby would kick back everytime. I laughed. I smiled as I watched my brothers looking on smiling and taking turns to press on my belly for the baby to kick back. At that moment I began to get excited for my baby to come.

END OF RECAP

9 months pregnant

I awoke to knocking on the door. I huffed and changed my position in bed. The knocking persisted, forcing me to arise from my bed. Kissing my teeth, I put my dressing gown on and my bedroom slippers.
