It's A Thug Thing

Chapter 148

Tamia

It's been a month and a half. A month and a half  of not being annoyed by my best friend. A month  and a half of my money still being gone. Also almost a month since Ariel and I got a confirmed pregnancy test.

Of course we haven't told anyone and this whole situation still has my nerves bad but I'm keeping my mind clear the best I can. 

The front door opens and Khyree runs in. "I traced the fuckin number" He yells. "Well Kareem did but still" He says sitting on the couch.

I look at him confused. "Huh?" I ask.

He sucks his teeth. "Remember that number I told you that kept calling and hanging up?" He asks.

I nod. "Yeah, cause you called me every single time they called you" I say rolling my eyes.

He waves me off. "Anyway, I was finally able to get Kareem to ping it once I answered it, it's at some Airbnb near Compton" He says. "I need Ariel to go with me" He adds.

Ariel has been doing nothing but school work and going with Khy to the store to see how business is going. She barely leaves my side and I love it.

She walks downstairs and she has a blank look as usual. "Khy, next time yo loud ass runs in my house all loud and shit, I know some" She says. "What you in here disturbing my wife for?" She asks and I smile to myself.

He tells her what he told me and she nods. "Where her mama at?" Ariel asks.

"At my house" He answers. Amari's mom and sister have been here since this all started and have been staying with Khy. Her sister is a sweet heart and her mom is nice too.

Ariel looks at me. "What we doing?" She asks.

I shrug. "Ima go to my mama house and chill with her" I say. "Just let me know what's going on" I add.

Khyree looks at me. "I'm surprised you don't wanna go" He says.

I roll my eyes. "I'm cramping" I say and he scrunches his face up. "Yeah, I know" I add getting up. "Ima get ready and you can drop me off" I say to Ariel.  She nods.

I get to my mom's and gag as soon as I walk in. "Hey baby" She says walking into the foyer. The closer she gets the stronger the smell gets.

I back up. "Ma what are you cooking?" I ask.

She looks at me funny. "Pot Roast and potatoes" She says. "Why?" She asks.

Before I can answer I run to the bathroom and throw up. Once I finish I get up and go straight to my room. I go in the bathroom and brush my teeth.

I take a deep breath and walk out my bathroom only to jump when I see my mom sitting on my bed. "You scared me" I say rolling my eyes.

She just looks at me. "Tamia Kimora Brooks" She says.

I scrunch my face up. "What?" I ask. I hate when folks call me by real name and I hate when my parents use my full name.

She doesn't say anything for a second. She gets up and walks over to me. "How far along are you?" She asks smiling.

I step back. "6 weeks tomorrow" I say.

Her smile gets bigger. "Giving Ariel a birthday twin?" She asks.

I roll my eyes. "Don't remind me" I say sitting on my bed.

She laughs before going to the door. "The food's almost done so ima finish it and clear the kitchen out, you want anything in particular?" She asks.

I shake my head. "Not really, I had iHop this morning" I say turning on my tv.

She smacks her lips. "Yeah and I'm assuming that's what you just threw up too" She says making a point. "You want Alfredo or some?" She asks.
