KIARA POV
" Don't take lime and alcohol it is harmful for the pregnancy"
" I know vomiting is common mostly at the first three months of pregnancy most women vomit throughout just pray you're not among them" the instructor said and all the other women laughed except me.
If someone had told me I would attend this class at the age of 18 I would have gotten angry at them.
That fucking pregnancy test was capping, I kept on vomiting and having a loss of appetite so I had to go and see the doctor. The doctor offered to do a pregnancy test but I declined telling him I already took a test. And then he told me not all tests are legit so I had to do the test.
And guess what? I was three weeks pregnant, and the pills I was taking to prevent me from getting pregnant were fucking fake, why would they sell fake pills for me? Why didn't we even use condoms? Or why didn't he at least pull out? I think it was when we first had sex that I got pregnant.
This was so overwhelming right now, Jarden left me, I wish he was here at least, we would have gone through this together but he decided to leave at the wrong time.
"Kiara listen" Mom said bringing out my mysteries.
Yeah, I know you all are surprised that my mom knew. Does she know who the father is? The answer is yes. She knows it's Jarden. I was so naive and scared so I had to tell her.
FLASHBACK
" Mom I'm pregnant" I exclaimed sniffing in my tears.
" What?" Mom looked shocked. I was so scared, scared to tell her who was responsible.
" I am pregnant" I repeated and she gasped.
" How Kiara? Who is responsible?" She asked.
I stare at her blankly, I don't know what to say. She will hate me for what I did. Pregnant for her stepson. Oh shit.
" Promise you won't hate me," I said and she frowned.
" Why would I hate you? You're my daughter, my blood" she muttered then walked towards me.
" Nothing will ever make me hate you".
" Jarden is the Father" I exclaimed and she stopped at her track.
" Jarden?" She asked and I nodded nervously. She paused for a while before her mouth widened.
" Couldn't you both at least use a condom?" She asked. Okay, that was not the question I was expecting. My nervous face turned to a confused one. Why isn't she scolding me?
" I am too young to be a grandmother girl" she sighed before sitting on my bed. I looked at Mom who didn't seem bothered about the fact that the guy I was pregnant for was her fiance's son. And that she cannot get married to him anymore.
" Mom it's Jarden" I reminded her. Wait does she think it's another guy?
" I know I know, everybody noticed the sexual tension between you both but I didn't expect you will get pregnant". She said.
Oh!
" So you're keeping the baby right?" She asked. I have been thinking. I did not want to kill my child, but Jarden never wanted a child, he said before, that he would prefer that the girl who got pregnant for him will have to do an abortion.
" Don't tell me you're thinking of getting rid of it" Mom frowned.
" I don't know what to do Mom, it's just too much for me, Jarden is nowhere to be found, I am a pregnant 18-year-old girl who knows nothing about having a child, Mom it's too much for me to handle, I am confused, Jarden doesn't even want a child from the start, it's hurt so much Mom" I cried out. Mom stood up from the bed walking towards me before hugging me.
" You know I had you when I was young too, just that I was married. When I found out I was pregnant I was scared, very scared but your dad told me everything was going to be okay, but one thing I never thought of was abortion, I would never recommend that, even though your dad left me or he doesn't want the baby who cares, I love my baby more than anything in this world" mom kissed my forehead lightly.
" Whether he wanted the baby or not, the question is do you want the baby?" She questioned. I looked at Mom straight in the eyes. There was nothing greater than a mom's love. I had to, I had to keep my baby. I can't harm him/her." I want my baby" I murmur. Mom smiled before hugging me tighter.
" Very soon you will understand the meaning of a mom love and why I always do what I do to protect you".
PRESENT
Mom called off the engagement with Mr Thompson and I was shocked that he was cool with it. Although mom told him about my pregnancy, I didn't know if the smile he had was genuine or fake but I knew he looked happy. Why was he happy about my pregnancy?
I said goodbye to Aliyah, Patricia and the rest of the friends I had in Florida. Jake was shocked that I was pregnant but he promised to visit me frequently.
Greg was supportive and he wished me good luck and also promised to visit when he had the chance.
I enjoyed the nine months I spent with them, it was nice and I enjoyed Florida. But shit these nine months got me pregnant. Funny right? Okay not funny.
Sharon wanted to transfer to a school in Texas instead but I declined, I wanted her to enjoy her life and not let mine stop her from following her dream or following her man.
I and Mom went back to Texas, everywhere was looking pretty much the same but I missed it. We went back to our old house. Thank God mom didn't sell it. Looking at the house made me cry, I missed it so much.
I and Mom went to Dad's memorial together, we laughed cried and talked. I told Dad I was pregnant and I hoped he wasn't angry at me. I wished he was proud of me.__
" God, you're growing so fast" Mom kissed my belly. Okay, she has been playing the role of a father and a grandmother. I was so lucky to have her.
" It's just 4 months and it looks 7 months," Mom said laughing.
" Hmmm, are you calling my baby fat? " I asked jokingly and Mom laughed again.
" Yes she is fat" Mom said sticking out her tongue.
" She?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
" Yh it's a girl".
" Obviously? It might be a boy" I protested.
" It might but it's a girl I know" she said with so much confidence.
" Well let's wait till next month for the ultrasound".
I remember when it was Jarden's birthday I cried my eyes out, he was going to be 20 and I was so happy for him wherever he was. He had always talked about how he couldn't wait to enter 20, he felt like it would be better for his reputation, he always cares about his reputation, at least he had left the figure 19 and he was now 20. I wondered how it would have been if Jarden had been here.
Just stop wondering!
I just couldn't wait to see my star.
Little Jarden
