Corai Destiny Chamberlain "Coco"
I nervously fixed my hair and clasped my necklace. "let me help you baby girl." my uncle chuckled coming into my room.
He walked behind me, clasping my necklace. "you look so beautiful baby girl, your parents would be proud of the young woman you have become. Hell, I am proud of the young woman you've become." He smiled looking at me through the mirror.
"thank you uncle Calvin, for everything. you didn't have to take me in when my dad went away but you did and I'm sorry for what happened to Caia, i hope she's getting the best care that she deserves." i blew out a breath.
"no worries girly, you are family. we do anything for family! what's on your mind?" he asked sitting on the edge of my bed.
I sat beside him. "I went to the doctors today with Naamari..and i found out some news. Please don't be mad at me, but I'm pregnant." I sighed finally saying it out loud since my doctor told me.
My uncle was silent for a few minutes. "by who?" he ask. We shared a telling look.
He took a deep breath, the vein in his forehead wanting to burst any minute. "we'll get through this baby girl. Me and your aunt are here and in your corner. We cannot force you to do something you wouldn't want to do, but whatever you decide, either if you keep the baby or not, we will support you. We love you Corai and if you decide to keep this child, they will be surrounded by pure love and happiness." He pulled me into a side hug, kissing my head.
"I just..I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a mother, a good one at that." I sigh.
"The fact that you are worried about whether you will be a good mother or not, says you will be. Your mother had her own hardships she had to get through before getting her life on track for you and Chandler, she tried her best but she suffered a battle and as unfortunate as it may be, she is in a better place getting the help she deserves as well."
"Now, finish getting ready. I have an important meeting to get too. I love you and stay safe. Corai, I'm proud of you." He spoke from the doorway of my room. He tapped the frame before disappearing up the hall.

Naamari took my hand in his interlocking our fingers as we waited for someone to open the door.
I ran my hand down his right arm. He had been quiet the entire ride. "everything will be okay. if you want to leave in the middle of it we can. i got you baby." i whisper.
