PREGNANT

EPILOGUE

Zuri's dress

"I don't want to dress up or leave the house Ash." I groaned and laid back in bed. 

I haven't been feeling well all day and now she's here trying to get me to go out with her. It's as if she doesn't understand that the word no. So irritating.

"Please, I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't important Zuri."

"Don't bullshit me. Going to a club is anything but important. And as I told you before I don't want, like what don't you understand in I'm not feeling well." At this point I was getting angry. It's like she's purposely trying to get on my nerves.

"What-" Before she could finish her sentence hurriedly got up and rushed to the bathroom. I absolutely hate how much I was puking out my guts. And the worst part is that the smell of it made me puke even more. 

"Are you sure this is normal? I mean that's the fifth time since morning Zuri. Maybe you should call Theo and-"

"No!" I shouted, cutting her off the moment I stopped vomiting. 

"I don't want him to worry, I mean you've seen how he is with me the past months. If he finds out, he'll probably flight out of the country in search of some magic potion that will never make me puke again." Ash laughed at this, and I just glared at her. She thought it was funny how overprotective Theo has been of me. 

"I can imagine that." She giggled and plopped down on the bed.

"Thinking about it now, Zuri when last did you see your period?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Everything. It has everything to do with it. I mean the vomiting, mood swings, the cravings. I honestly think you should take a pregnancy test." 

I laughed. I let out the most boisterous laugh I've ever heard. 

"P-Pregnant, oh my gosh Ash you are really crazy." I calmed myself down and sat on the bed next to her taking out of breath from laughing. Taking deep breaths, I finally calmed down and wiped off the tears that fell from me laughing so much. I looked over at Ash and saw her looking at me with frown on her face. 

I don't think she's joking.

"What? Ash you can't be serious. I can't be pregnant, can I?"

"You know Zuri, you should really think about it. I mean unless you have some other issues going on, I do think you are." I shook my head at her and thought back to the last time I saw my period. How could I have not realized that it has been over a month. 

"No..... But I-" The tears I just wiped away came back only this time I was laughing.

"It's going to be okay friend. I'm going to go out and get you a test to take, okay?" I could only nod at her as I watched her leave. 

So many unwanted thoughts clouded my mind. So many what ifs, whys, and how. I mean I do know you, because I can't remember the last time Theo and I used protection. I should've seen this coming but to be honest, I wasn't paying attention. 

Fifteen minutes later Ash came back with a bag filled with all sorts of stuff. 

"Okay so I didn't know which one was the best, so I got like five different ones, and I also didn't know if you want to take more than one to be sure, so I got like four of each. I even got you some of your favorite snacks and drink too, just in case." She explained smiling.
