Nailah

Distance

Me and Saint have been dating for about a year now,. We got back from Greece two months ago and we've barely had time for each other.

Between his back to back business meetings and my growing clothing business and school its very hard to have more than 30 minutes with each other.

And I haven't got my period this month.

I park my grey cybertruck, opening the door. Im wearing low rise flared true religion jeans with my gucci slides and a white cropped top and natural hair in a messy bun on my head. I stare at the women's clinic taking in a huge breath before stepping in. 

I just want to be sure before I even think about telling Gabriel. What's the point of a fucking plan B if that shit dont work! I enter talking to the receptionist before sitting down. I put my LV wallet on my lap going on my phone. I hear a loud revving outside but pay no mind.

I watch as peoples names get called patiently waiting for my turn. My legs bouncing up and down. I hear someone dump themselves in the seat next to me. I look around at the other empty seats before looking at the person with a mug.

 My heart falls to my ass.

I've been hanging out with Bryelle too much.

'Hey.' I say smiling sheepishly.

Saint laughs but there is no humor in his laugh, he got new gold grills and they are gorgeous I barely see his white teeth though, he's always wearing them now. He sucks in a gust of air,

'Qué estás haciendo aquí'

(What are you doing here?')

I squint my eyes trying to think of an answer, it's a women's clinic.

'My kewchie itchy?'

He pokes his head back mugging me so hard.

'Vamos a casa, te lo puedo picar.' 

(Let's go home I can itch it for you.)

'Wanna try lying again Nai?'

I roll my eyes, 'I might be pregnant.'

'If you are, do you want to keep, I'm fine with whatever you choose.'

'I do want to keep it,'

He nods, but I can sense his excitement. It looks cute on him. And something else.

'Why you reacting so calmly.'

'Nothing-'

'Nailah Russo?' 

The lady calls our name and we follow her into her office, she's a small lady looks hispanic with long black hair, 'Ok, is this the father.'

'Yes,' I reply sitting down on the bed thing.

'Ok, lie down for me I'm just gonna do an ultra-sound, this might feel a bit cold.' I nod letting Saint push up my crop top a bit. She puts some gel on my stomach and puts a scanner thing on my stomach and we sit in anticipation for a while.

'OK! So right there is your baby,' She smiles at us pointing to the thing on the screen it's about as big as an orange..

'Wow.' I say.

Saint pulls out his phone taking a picture of it. 

'How far long is she?'

'She's 10 weeks long so your baby right now is the size of a strawberry.' Saint presses a kiss against my forehead.

'Do you have any do's and don'ts?' I roll my eyes at him, nevertheless touched.

'Of course, at 10 weeks pregnant, prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet with folic acid, and moderate exercise. Avoid smoking,alcohol and too much caffeine. Manage morning sickness with small, frequent meals and stay hydrated.' 

I watch him take note of all this. 'Ok thank you,'

'Of course, I'll go get these printed out for you.'

She hand me a bunch of tissues and leave. 'I'm gonna clear out the room next to mine so we can turn it into a nursery, and no more skipping meals- my princess has to eat,' I smile thinking he's talking about me then he kisses my stomach after wiping the gel off.

'What about me,'

'Yeah that too, also should we paint the bedroom and neutral colour or wait to find out the gender.'

'I don't know yet can we go Chuck-E Cheese?'

'Sure my love.' He helps me down holding my phone for me.

I roll my eyes. 'I'm pregnant, I didn't break any bones.' 

He opens the door for me and we wait at the reception for our pictures. When it arrives Gabriel picks them up and we walk out. We walk towards my car and I hand him the keys, we both settle down in the car and he hands me the pictures for me to open as he drives towards Chuck-E Cheese.

I pull out the pictures looking at the living thing growing inside of me and a gush of love for the strawberry sized this washes over me.

'What do you think it'll be?' I say smiling.

'A girl, duh.'

'Why not a boy?'

'Nah, I want a girl now a boy later.'

'Who says I'm popping out more babies after this.'

He gives me a knowing grin.

'Hm, how many kids do you want?' I ask as he comes up to the ordering window.

'4, what do you want?'

'A 14 piece buffalo wings please.' he nods ordering for me.

He drives to the pay window paying before going to the collection point. He turns his neck to collect my food and I notice something, right on his neck my name and what seems to me a print of my lips. Then on his forearm what seems to be my eyes,

I gasp as he places my food in my lap.

'What?'

He drives off probably heading back to his place.

'No way,' I say tilting his head to the side. He smiles.

'Awhhh, you love me.' I say pulling out my phone to take a picture of it,

'Of course ma,' he says kissing my hand. I stare at the tattoo of my eyes and I love it. I read the inscription underneath.

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'
