Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in." I said tiredly.
"How do you feel?" Devale asked walking into my hospital room.
"I'm okay. Just dehydrated." I tell him. "The baby is fine." I say smiling.
He nodded his head and walked over to me. "That's good." He said.
I picked up my cup of Pedialyte and took a sip. As much as I needed to drink this, I could barely stand the taste of this grape flavor. It was making me gag.
"Is it good?" Devale asked scrunching his face up.
"No it's nasty as hell." I say to him.
"I'm glad you're okay." He said softly.
A part of me wished he wouldn't have came to see me. I still can't get over Maya telling me that she's pregnant. I don't know whether to believe her not. If she is pregnant that doesn't mean it's DeVale's baby. He told he wore a condom but those don't always work.
"Devale I need to ask you something and I need to be very honest with me." I said changing the tone of the conversation.
He sat in the chair next to my bed and moved closer to me.
"What's up?" He said.
"Did you wear a condom when you were sleeping with Maya?" I ask making him squint.
"Why would ask me that? Yes I did!" He said acting offended.
I rolled my eyes. "Devale calm down it was just a question." I say shaking my head.
"No what's going on? Why you ask me that? Did she say something?" He asked standing up.
"She told me that she is pregnant and apparently she tried to call you yesterday but-"
"I was busy fucking you." He said making me cover my face embarrassed at his words.
"I remember that." I tell him. "So what are you gonna do?" I ask looking at my cup.
He sighed and threw his hands up in the air. "I'll talk to her but just from me being there I don't think she's pregnant and if she is it is not mines. I swear to God Crystal." He said shaking his head.
I grab his hand and smile. "I believe you." I said nodding my head.
To be honest I don't believe him. I don't eve think he remembers that night. But, I'm so tired of fighting with him I don't need anything else extra on my place. Now I'm pregnant and in serious pain. I'm growing abnormally big to be a few weeks.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in." I said as the door opened.
In walked a doctor with the ultrasound equipment. She was pretty and she looked a few years older than me. I've never seen her around here so she either just started working here or she stays out the mix.
