Deshawn's P.O.V
It was finally time for me to go. I'm going to miss every moment of Krystal's pregnancy. I hate that she found out the way she did.
"I'm going to call you every second I get. Okay?" I told Krystal.
"I hate that you have to go. I just don't understand why you have to leave now. Like I want it for you and I'm really happy for you, but why-" she started.
"We been through this before Krystal. But you know that this is something I have to do. You know how bad and how long I've been on the grind for this. I'll be back. I gotta go." I said.
I grabbed my bags and walked out the door. I kissed Krystal and her tummy before leaving. I'm going to miss them a lot. It's going to be a whole 7 months without her.
I watched as Deshawn left from my vision. Now it was just me and my baby. Tomorrow I go see what I'm having. Why couldn't he stayed for that? I asked myself. I decided to call my best friends since they were still in town.
"Destiny! Jasmine! What y'all doing tonight?" I asked.
"Not shit." Jasmine responded.
"Same here. It's just me and Aj right now." Destiny said.
"Party pooper!" I shouted to Destiny.
"Come over." I said.
"I'll be over in 5." Jasmine said.
"Iight. See y'all." I said.
I hung up the phone and stared at me and Deshawn's picture on the table in front of me. I was missing him like crazy. He hasn't been gone for damn near 10 minutes.
There was a knock at the door.
Knock knock
"Come in!" I shouted.
In walks Jasmine. I ran up to her and hugged her.
"Bruh, we need something to do!" I said.
"Ain't shit left to do. You're pregnant! Did you forget?" She asked.
I held my baby in my hands.
"Almost." I laughed. "Speaking of baby." I continued. "I have an appointment tomorrow and like-- Deshawn's out of town. Would you like to come?"
"Are you seriously inviting me?" She asked.
I gave her a serious look. "Yes! You're my friend. Better yet a sister." I said.
"Yes. I would love to. As long as I am the god mother." She implied.
"Yes. Yes! Sure. I just need somebody to come along." I said.
I was so excited.

(7:40 a.m)
My alarmed sounded. I've never been so tired. Jasmine had me up till 5 in the morning.
"Damn it! I should've went to bed on time." I said.
"You up?" Jasmine said peeking in my bedroom.
"Yeah. Let me shower and I'll be ready." I said climbing out of bed.
Jasmine wasn't wasting no time. Her driving skills were horrible. Every turn she made was deadly. I only found it funny. She was upset because I kept laughing.
"Made it here safe and sound." I joked.
"Well bitch, you ain't gotta ride with me again. You can walk!" She said.
"I'm 4 months pregnant Jasmine. You're going to do me like that? I asked.
She shook her head and I laughed. We finally made it into my OBGYN.
"Let's take a look." Dr. Anderson said.
"And-- there's the baby." She said.
My baby was on the screen. I couldn't believe it. My itty bitty baby.
"Can you pass me my phone." I asked Jasmine.
I had a missed Skype call from Deshawn. I called back.
"Baby look!" I shouted. I reversed the camera so he could see.
I watched as he smiled at the monitor.
"When will you be home?" I asked.
"I'm not sure. But baby, I'm missing you. And I'll be home soon. Keep your head up. I'll return back to you. Get some rest. Keep both you and the baby healthy!" He said.
The connection was disconnected. I felt lonely. I only had 5 months left and Deshawn is missing out on our memories.
Me and Jasmine rode back to my house in silence. I waved goodbye and went inside the house. I decided to text Deshawn.
Me: Baby, I love you and miss you a lot.
DK4L: I know baby. I miss you too. I will be home room before you know it. So don't worry your sweet little face. I love you too. Goodnight.
I couldn't sleep that night. I went to the bookcase in the hallway and grabbed a scrapbook. I walked back to my room. I flipped through the pages. There I seen me and Deshawn's graduation picture, our wedding pictures, and prom pictures.
I reached inside my purse and grabbed the ultrasound pictures.
"To finish my scrapbook off is you." I said as I placed the photo in the back.
"You're the reason." I said. I rubbed my hands against the picture. "Your daddy's going to love you as much I love you." I added.
