Important conversations.

MARIAH AMANI BUCKLES.

I get nervous as gio picks up the phone.

"gio can you come over, we need to talk." I say nervously

"of course ma ma, im on the way." Gio says. "I love you."

"I love you more." I say before hanging up.

I sigh as I put my phone down and fix myself up, leaving the pregnancy tests flipped over to where she can see.

As I sit down on my bed, thinking about how to tell her and what we're gonna do she walks in.

I can't tell she's nervous by her demeanor, she's taking deep breaths as she walks over to me and sits down.

"what do we need to talk about?" She asks sitting down next to me gently picking up my hand and holding it with hers, looking down at the floor.

I slightly smile, "what do you think it is?"

Gio shakes her head. "I think you're trying to break up with me." She says looking down.

Im shocked by her awnser. "Gio, that's not happening anytime soon." I say kissing her lips.

"What do you need to tell me?" Gio smiles, asking again.

"I'm- gio." I say looking into her eyes.

"you can tell me baby." Gio tucks my hair behind my ear.

I nod. "I'm pregnant."

Gios eyes widen. "How do you know this?"

I get up pulling her along with the hand I was already holding. We walk into the bathroom and I point to the two pregnancy tests.

Gios eyes lighten up and she smiles "how do you feel about it?"

"I mean we haven't even met each-others parents yet, and we live in separate places.we-." I get cut off by gio.

"and baby we can fix allat." she smiles kissing me on my head as she hugs me from behind.

I smile as she kisses me all over my face.

"My family has a cookout soon you can meet them there." Gio says.

I nod. "Okay, I'll set something up so you can meet mine." I say.

"and, we can start looking for houses." She says  gripping my waist .

I nod, "When should we tell them."

"whenever you want too." Gio says still smiling hard.

"Can we start buying baby stuff today?" I ask and gio nods

"I was gonna do that anyway." She shrugs.

I laugh as we walk out of the bathroom and gio follows behind me.

Gios already dressed. So I throw something cute on.
