Chapter 10 (updated)

### Neveah's POV:

Today is the day I'm going to tell Jake I'm pregnant. I'm really scared because my mom wanted to talk to me, and we all know how that goes. I wake up and go through my usual routine. I choose to wear my black and white striped shirt, precut skinny jeans, and my J's. As I head downstairs, I brace myself for the conversation with my mom.

**Beyoncé:** Honey, I just want to ask you something.

**Neveah:** What's up?

**Beyoncé:** Are you ready to be a parent?

**Neveah:** Of course, Mom. You see how I am with Blue.

**Beyoncé:** Listen, it's not about Blue. It's about you. Do you think you're ready to raise a child all by yourself?

**Neveah:** Who says I'm by myself? I have Jake.

**Beyoncé:** You never know how his reaction could be. He could leave you. Love, I want what's best for you.

**Neveah:** Mom, I don't want to talk about this right now. I have to meet up with Jake at The Brew.

**Beyoncé:** Honey, I jus-

**Neveah:** No, Mom. I'm done talking about this. I'm ready for this kid. I'm only three weeks. Why are we arguing about this now?

I want my mom to just stop criticizing me. Jake won't ever leave me. When I reach The Brew, I see Jake sitting in a booth.

**Jake:** Hey shawty.

**Neveah:** Hi.

**Jake:** How you been?

**Neveah:** I've been good and bad. The good part is why I wanted to meet with you, and the bad part is that my mom and I have been continuously arguing.

**Jake:** Well, why are we here?

**Neveah:** We're here because last week I took a pregnancy test, and it read positive. Jake, please don't leave me. Please don't get mad.

### Jake's POV:

My mind reels as I process what Neveah just said. Pregnant? I try to keep my expression neutral, but inside, I'm a whirlwind of emotions.

**Jake:** You're pregnant?

**Neveah:** Yes, Jake. I'm scared. I need you to be here for me.

I see the fear in her eyes and the vulnerability she's showing me right now. It's not just about her; it's about us and the future we might have.

**Jake:** Neveah, I'm not leaving you. This is a lot to take in, but I'm not going anywhere. We'll figure this out together.

Her relief is palpable. She lets out a breath she's been holding, and I pull her into a hug. This is our reality now, and we need to face it together.

### Neveah's POV:

Jake's words bring me a sense of relief I desperately needed. I hug him tightly, feeling a mix of emotions.

**Neveah:** Thank you, Jake. I don't know what I'd do without you.

**Jake:** We'll get through this. But we need to be realistic about everything, okay?

I nod, knowing he's right. This isn't just a moment of reassurance; it's a turning point. We need to plan, to think about what comes next.
