It's been a couple of years, and Amara is 12. She's become shy since what happened a couple of years ago. Jay doesn't blame her. He hasn't posted her, and if he did, he was very careful about who sees it and who doesn't.
" Mama, come on, we gotta go," Jay said. Ever since Kiara came back into her life, she's had her on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. They don't force her to go over there if she doesn't feel like it. And today was one of those days out of many. " Papa, I don't want to this weekend." Amara said, coming down the stairs. " Why not baby?" Jay asked.
" I dont feel like it, I wanna stay with you and my tios," Amara said, sitting on the couch. Jay texted Kiara, letting her know she was staying. " You gotta open up and tell me what's wrong. You can't keep it to yourself." Jay said, grabbing her hand.
" I dont know," she whispered. " I just want to stay with you," she said, fighting with her hands. " You can. It's ok. I just want you to talk to me about anything." Jay said.
It's been a couple of hours. And all of the gang was here. Amara was shy when they all came over cause it's too much in people in the room. Naveah was sitting on Jay's lap in the living room, so Amara couldn't go hang out with her. Amara came downstairs and sat in between notti and ddot. " What's up, Mama?" Notti asked. " tio, my stomach hurts." She whipspered. " ok, hold on." notti got up and got her some strawberries.
" You didn't eat yet, so here," notti said, giving her the strawberries. After she ate her lower stomach, she still hurts. She got us and went to the bathroom. When she wiped, she saw blood. She wasn't 100% sure, but she thought it was her period. Naveah talked to her about it once.
She quickly ran downstairs. Jay and naveah weren't in the living room at the time, so her only option was her tios.
She called notti, dd, and ddot over. " Uhh, I need help." She said in a whisper tone. " What's wrong?" ddot said. " I uhh, I think I started my period, and I don't know what to do," Amara said in a whisper. " What?" Notti said. He had no idea what to do either. None of them did.
" Why are you not telling yo dad this." Dd asked. He didn't mean to sound rude, but he was freaking out just as much as her, maybe a little less. " Because I don't know where he is, and I never got my period before." She explained, panicking.
" Hold on, I'll go get him," ddot said, leaving. He came back with jay. " What's up?" Jay asked her. " I think i started my period, Papi, and I don't know what to do." She said, fidgeting with her fingers. "Shit," he whispered. He didn't know what to do either. He wasn't prepared at all. Naveah had just left, and he phone was left here because she was just going to the deli.
He facetimed melz. " What's up you neva call me?" melz said. " Don't lie," Jay said, making her laugh. " uhh Amara just started her period, and I didn't know what to do," Jay said awkwardly.
" You got a daughter and a girlfriend, and you never learned how to take care or a period?" She asked. " All I do is buy the shit and go get it for her," Jay said.
" Who's all there?" She asked. " The whole gang, but the only ones she told were me, ddot, dd, and notti," he explained.
" Just give her the phone. I'll deal with it," she said. Jay handed her the phone and walked away. He wasn't ready for this. It meant his daughter was growing up, and he didn't want that to happen yet.
" Can you look around for any pads in the bathroom?" She asked. Amara looked around in the cabinets, and all she saw were tampons for naveah. " No, I see tampons only." She said, making melz sigh. " ok, I'm only 2 minutes away, so I'll go pick up some pads, then come help you just put some toilet paper in your underwear til I get there," she said.
Until she got there, Amara was just in her room curled up in a ball from the pain she was feeling. Melz opened her door to Amara, just crying her eyes out cause she had never felt this much pain before.
( Is it just me or does cramps hurt like a bitch the first day)
" I know your on pain but I got you some stuff and naveah is here to help too" melz said grabbing her hand. They went to the bathroom. Amara didn't notice, but she got blood all over her sheets, so naveah took care of that while they were in the bathroom.
Melz explained everything and showed her how to use a pad and what to do throughout the five days to help with the pain. Jay knew Amara was gonna have an attitude and be a brat the whole time he could feel it.
" I stocked up on chocolate, her favorite snacks, and I gave her a heating pad for the camps." Melz said before going back upstairs.
Jay didn't know how to feel about the situation. It was all kind of shocking to him. His little girl was growing up, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Meanwhile, dd, ddot, and notti were grossed out by the fact that their neice was bleeding out of her vagina. They also were weirded out that she could now get pregnant, and she wasn't gonna be allowed near boys her age. They were gonna make that a fact.
this is what she looks like BTW
