"what do you wanna do for your birthday baby?" i casually ask Corai, trancing her thigh with my index finger.
"i wanted to go out of the country, but i guess i have to rethink it now." she pouts looking down at her stomach.
"we can still go out the country, you just can't partake in any drinking etc."
"that's not fun, at all. I only turn 18 once."
"that's true, but until we go to the doctors and know for sure if you are pregnant, I'm taking precautions." i told her.
"thank goodness i have an appointment later today" she cheesed snuggling into me.
"what time?"
"1:20pm"
"it's 9am, we got time to eat and get ready." I inform looking over at the clock on my nightstand.
"well I'm about to take a nap.." she mumbled. I looked down at her to see her eyes closed. I rubbed her back to help her go to sleep faster. I stared at the ceiling then checked my phone.
I had a message from my mother.
Maybe: Ma🤍
I'm having a housewarming tonight and i want to see you and meet that girlfriend of yours.
okay what time?
6pm
we'll see you then delivered
end of thread
I laid my phone down and shut my eyes. I needed all the energy I could get for tonight.

Corai laid on top of the examination bed staring up at the ceiling, "what's on your mind?" neither of us said anything since the doctor left with her urine and blood sample.
She took a deep breath, exhaling before answering. "what if i am pregnant? we just started dating..maybe I should really think about my decision here. I could always put the baby up for adoption but the remorse I'd feel after would probably break me. But there are people who cannot have children, maybe this baby would be their pride and joy." Corai ranted and I let her.
"baby, look at me. we're young but we have so many people in our corner to support us through whatever decision we make."
"stop saying we! this isn't your body! i appreciate you for being by my side through this but let's be realistic here, Naamari, no man wants to raise another man's baby."
"you're absolutely right, this isn't my decision to make, but when the time comes i will be that man who gone stick by you during this whole pregnancy up to the birth. I may not be the biological father but i will be there for the both of you."
"Alright, Ms Chamberlain. We have your test results back...you are—"

The ride back to my house was silent with the exception of lil durk playing lowly in the background.
"my mom wanna meet you. she texted me saying she having a housewarming party tonight." i say breaking the silence.
"what time?"
"six"
"alright..you can pick me up from my aunts house." she spoke lowly looking out of the window.
"you sure? you got clothes at my house."
"yeah. i need some time to think." she mumbled above a whisper but i heard her. I nodded making a left turn instead of a right at the light.
I pulled up to her house, 10 minutes later, "I'll see you tonight." she weakly smiled kissing my cheek.
"okay. i'ma call you when i get home." She nods, closing the door. I waited for her to go inside before pulling off back to my house.
