Two months later....

Fatima was in her bed laying on her pregnancy pillow watching reruns of living single. Danni was sitting in the chair across from her bed half watching the show half scrolling instragram.

Fatima: St.Clair is too funny. It hurts to bad laugh. Danni I want to try walking him down again. I need him to come tonight, I'm done. I've tried everything to get him out.

Danni: Not everything, you need to have sex.

Fatima: Nah, I'm good on that. Sex is the reason I'm in this situation in the first place. I heard spicy food might help, want some Indian food?

Danni: No thanks. Order your food,  we can walk until it gets here.

Fatima: Ok, I just want a small spicy rice. Nothing to heavy.

Danni: Nobody is judging you.

Fatima: I know, I'm just saying.

They walked around the block twice before her order arrived. After she ate she walked the block twice more. She was now sitting on her bouncing ball drinking Castrol oil.

Fatima started to get tired, she resumed her spot on her pregnancy pillow. This time she put on Shameless slowly falling asleep.

Danni shook her on the shoulder to let her know she was heading home but would be back in the morning.

Danni: Call me if you go into labor, I love you.

Fatima: I love you too sis, thanks for everything. I'll see you tomorrow, text me when you get home.

Fatima made it through the first twenty minutes of the show before she fell asleep. A little while later she heard her phone ding. She checked it thinking it was Danni but it was an instragram notification from her friends partying on a yacht.

Son I can't wait for you to come. I missed swimsuit season this year. Next year me and you in matching sets, now be a good baby and come tonight okay.

Fatima went to the bathroom before getting back in bed. She watched tiktok and instragram for turning the TV back on.

The phone ringing startled her out of her sleep. She groggily answered once she read the name.

Fatima: Hello

Zachary: Hey baby.

Fatima: Hey baby daddy. Where you at?

Zachary: I'm on my way home. How you feeling?  You sound sleep.

Fatima: I was resting because I can't really sleep well. He is literally sitting on my bladder. I just peed and have to pee again. My stomach is tight, I think it's from the spicy rice.

Zachary: What you mean tight? Is that normal?

Fatima: I don't know, this is my first child Zachary but it feels fine except for..FUCK.

Zachary: What happened?

Fatima: I peed on myself. I didn't even feel it but the bed is soaked. Why do I have to pee again. Hold on Zachary.

Fatima waddled out the  bed to go pee, she left the phone on the bed. It took her a few minutes to come back to the line.

Zachary had zoned out listening to Jay-z weaving in and out of traffic. He heard Fatima calling his name letting him know she was back to the line.

Fatima: Zachary, get here now. My water broke, I'm in labor!

Zachary: I'm not to far, stay on the phone.

Fatima: Ok. Hold on, I need to text Danni. I can make it downstairs. I'm going to grab my pregnancy bag. I'll be at the door when you get here.

Zachary: Just wait until I get there, I got all that.
