Kelly started laughing. "Bey..." she said before continuously laughing.
"what? What's funny?" I asked getting annoyed.
Kelly looked at me and tried to wipe the smirk off her face. "I already figured that out." she said and then began laughing again. "I was just waiting for you to tell me."
I raised one eyebrow. "How?"
"How?... one I heard you throwing up many times this morning. I wanted to check on you but I knew you were trying to hide something from me so I just minded my business. Two, you ate 2 bowls of cereal and you never do that. Three, you've been moody." Kelly said.
"Damn. I gotta do better... cause what the hell." I said shaking my head and eating my fries.
"So who else don't know about this?" Kelly asked.
"Mama, Michelle, and my dad." I said.
"Okay, so Jay knows?"
I nodded. "Yep."
"How far along are you?"
I pulled the ultrasound pictures out of my purse and handed them to Kelly. "Almost three weeks." I paused to eat some more of my fries. "I just found out I was pregnant last week."
"Awww I'm gonna be an auntie!" Kelly said while looking at the pictures.
"I'm gonna be a mother.." I said while looking down at my stomach and rubbing it.
"Are you ready?" Kelly asked.
"Honestly no, But I'm excited for a new chapter in my life." I responded.
"I don't wanna mention this anymore but bey... you have to hear Jay out, he's gonna be a father and you're gonna need him in you and your baby's life."Kelly said as she handed me the pictures back.
"I hear you Kelly." ****
Following the completion of Kelly's errands, we returned to her house. Once we got there, I made a phone call to both my mother and Michelle, sharing my desire to have dinner as a means to distract myself from certain thoughts. However, my true intention is to reveal to them that I am expecting a child. While I am aware that they will offer their support, I cannot help but feel a slight nervousness.
"Okay so what time are we gonna leave?" Kelly asked while looking for a dress to wear.
"6:00 I guess." I said. "I don't even have any dresses with me and I don't wanna go back to the house just to run into Jay."
"Girl I have plenty of dresses, just look in my closet." Kelly said. "Wear whatever you want, I don't mind."
"You sure?" I asked.
Kelly glanced over at me "Giselle get ya ass up and find a dress."
I chuckled and searched through her wardrobe for an outfit. Two dresses grabbed my attention, so I placed them on the bed before heading for a shower. Once I was done, I decided to relax and watch a movie since it was still early before we needed to prepare for dinner.
"Bey!" Kelly called out.
"Huh?" I replied.
Kelly walked into the room. "How do I look?"

"Girl...words can't even explain." I said while grabbing my phone to take a picture of her. "Gahhhhh damnnn" I said playfully.
Kelly laughed. "Thank you sis. I know it's a bit much but you never know who you might see."
"I know that's right." I said. "We have 2 hours before it's time to go."
"I know, I was just ready to get dressed because I need to take some pictures for instagram." Kelly said.
"Oh okay. I'm gonna finish this movie and then imma get dressed." I said.
***Sometime later***
Once I finished watching the movie, I proceeded to apply my makeup and style my hair. Then, I tried on both dresses to determine my preference. After deciding on one, I selected a pair of heels from Kelly's wardrobe and put them on. While looking at myself in the mirror it looked as if my stomach was bigger than usual, wondering if it was just my imagination or if I was actually just bloated.

"Kelly am I showing?" I asked.
"No. You did eat-" Kelly said before I cut her off.
"I know what I ate today, hush." I said while rolling my eyes.
"moody yonce." Kelly said while she was on her phone taking picture.
"Shut up!" I said.
Once Kelly and I were fully prepared to leave the house, I collected my car keys, purse, and phone. We then departed and enjoyed some old school R&B music on the way to the restaurant.
