*A month later*

It's been a month since I've seen or talked to Chris

I haven't received any calls or texts from her either

I have been receiving emails from the office asking if I wanted to book an appointment with a new therapist

But I'm afraid to go back to therapy

I know things are gonna be awkward since our big argument 

 I have been asking Mariah to take Braxton to speech therapy because I am too afraid that I'll run into Chris

After everything that occurred on the night of our beach date, I've been feeling very sick lately

Throwing up early in the morning I can barely even keep any of my food down

Mariah had finally convinced me to take a few pregnancy test and all three times it came out as positive

Ik she didn't pull out but is it possible that I could have her baby

I sat on the couch rubbed my stomach and started to cry

What am I gonna do I said as I put my hands over my face

I felt someone sit next to me on the couch 

"It's gonna be alright baby," my mom said rubbing soft circles on my back

What if she doesn't believe me mama

I started to cry more

"Nina look at me," my mom said

I lifted my head to see a blurry face as my eyes were filled with tears

" If you guys do have a child together I think it's for the best that you be upfront with her about the baby," she said

I nodded my head

"Now go wipe those tears away and go call her"

I got off the couch and went to the bathroom

I cleaned myself up and grabbed my phone off my dresser

I pressed on her contact

I was so nervous to press call

I eventually got over my fear and pressed call and waited as the phone rang

After three rings someone finally picked up

"Hello" 

I was too scared to respond

"Hello," she said again 

I finally decided to speak up 

Hey Chris

"Nina" she asked

Yeah it's me 

I said as I smiled when I heard her voice come through the phone

"Whats up, she asked"

 We really need to talk 

I have something important that I need to tell you 

"Okay I'm all ears"

Do you think you could come over to my house so we can talk about this

I nervously fiddled with my fingers afraid of what she was going to say

"Yeah" she said hesitantly

What time are you available 

"I only have two more appointments left for today" 

"I'll be leaving the office around four this afternoon" she said

Okay so how about five o'clock I asked 

"Sounds great" she said and hung up 

I put the phone on my nightstand and sighed as I rubbed my growing belly

4:30 PM *30 mins before Chris is planned to arrive*

"So what exactly are you going to say to her" Mariah asked me looking up from her phone

I don't know 

I'll probably break down crying before I can tell her anything

"Yup definitely sounds like you" Mariah laughed

It's not funny okay I actually need some advice right now 

I mean so many things could go wrong 

Like what if she doesn't believe me 

Or we get into a big argument again 

Even worse what if she walks out on me I said 

I dropped my head down in my lap as tears of frustration started falling down my cheeks

Mariah moved next to me on the couch and started rubbing circles on my back

"Nina stop overthinking things girl"

"You have been a great mother to Braxton raising him on your own for these past three years and  I know you will be another one to this new baby you will bring into the world" she said 

I raised my head from my lap 

But it's been such a long time since I have had a baby what if something goes wrong I said wiping my flowing tears

"Nina I know you are strong and you will get through this and I promise you won't be alone whether or not Chris wants to be there for the baby you already have the best support system between your mom and me," she said

I took a deep breath as I calmed myself down 

You really do mean a lot to me I said to Mariah

"Of course I do girl I'm your best friend, she said" making me laugh

Yeah your right I said

"Now wipe those tears and got get your man" she said 

Don't even start up with that bs again

"Never say never girl," she said

"Alright I got to go don't forget the advice I gave you and trust me you got this," Mariah said as she got off the couch

Yeah I will and thank you again I leaned in to give her a hug

"Anytime don't forget to call me after after she leaves," Mariah yelled before exiting out my front door

I will I yelled back...if it goes well
