Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 4

*2 Months Later*

KEIRA:

A chill went up my spine as the doctor spread the jelly-like substance on my stomach. I swear it was so fucking cold! I'm about 4 1/2 months pregnant. People are now noticing my small bump. By now I thought my bump would be a little bigger, but I'm just getting big in my thigh and waist instead.

I still haven't talked to Trey, I heard he got suspended, but since March Madness begins this Tuesday, he's finally eligible. Miami looks really good, they've only lost three games since Trey's suspension, so only 4 altogether. The only teams they lost to were Duke, Syracuse, Wake Forest, and Michigan State. Those were the games they really needed Trey.

"And there's your baby." The doctor said as she pointed to the screen. Ashlee, who stood behind me, was excited and smiling, but me... not too much. This pregnancy is whatever for me, probably once I fell the baby kick or I learn the sex then I'll be more happy. Right now this baby is a burden to me. "Is Keira able to learn the sex, yet?" Ashlee asked. "Right now I can but it won't be fully accurate, it wouldn't be 100% a girl or boy." The doctor replied. I rolled my eyes. Why did I bring Ashlee along?

The doctor rubbed the stuff off my stomach as the appointment came to an end. "Would you like me to print off pictures?" I was asked. "No, thanks not this time." I said grabbing my bag. I had no time, I had to get back and help Malik. Baseball season just started and everyday someone had some type of injuries and some of them made me vomit with all the blood. "Keira, what is your problem? You really don't want an ultrasound picture?" Ashlee asked trying to catch up to me as I hurried out of the doctor's office. "No, I want to go back to class, I have to help Malik." I replied placing my things in the backseat of the car. "Fuck Malik, he can handle it. Keira what is your actually problem?" "Leave me alone, Ashlee. Take me back to the campus." I demanded with an attitude. Ashlee rolled her eyes as she started the engine.

TREY:

Shawn sat on the examining chair. Malik pulled out his flashlight. "So you hit your head on the court floor?" Malik asked beginning the test to see if Shawn had a concussion. "Yeah, I was getting a rebound and then I fell and hit my head." Shawn answered in pain. I looked around the room, I thought Keira would be here. The conversation with Ashlee the other night is still fresh in my mind.

"Ashlee! Ashlee! Wait up." I yelled trying to catch up to Ashlee. Man, she really did track, she's quick as hell. "What the hell do you want?" Ashlee yelled in my face. She's mad at me like everyone else is. "How's Keira?" I asked. Ashlee began walking away upset. "How about you check on her." "Ashlee, you know I can't, she won't talk to me." "I wonder why, Trey." I pulled Ashlee back towards me. I know we were causing a scene, but she's not going to get away from me like that. "You only care about Keira now just cause Coach benched you. I'm not stupid Trey! You did Keira wrong!" "No, I cared before then! She's carrying my child, of course I care." "So you know she didn't abort the baby?" I nodded. "I know you go to those doctor's appointment with her." I said. "So? You chose basketball over the baby." Ashlee stated. "Come on, please Ashlee tell me something." I pleaded. "Fine! She's almost 5 months, the doctor only knows what the sex is, Keira won't ask about it, and now it's about 1 pound." Ashlee revealed the information. "Ashlee, please can you keep me informed?" "I'll try. But her due date is September 20th, not that much longer." Ashlee pulled her arm away from me and hurried to wherever she was headed. *

"So you playing in the ACC Tournament or just March Madness?" Malik asked ending the silence between him, Shawn and I. "Yeah, I'll play in the 2nd round of the tournament. Then all of the March Madness tournament." I answered. Malik noticed I was looking around the room. He smiked. "Your baby momma isn't here. She had an appointment, and that bitch went with her." "So you know info about the baby?" "Yeah, Keira only tells stuff to me, the bitch and Alejandra. Last appointment Alejandra went with her and this time you know who went." So Alejandra knows info too? Alejandra is easier to get info from instead of Ashlee, so I guess I'll go to her instead. "Why you calling Ashlee a bitch? You fucked her." I heard Shawn said. "Ashlee is two-faced. She tried to ruin my relationship with Katia with some lie about us fucking each other. I would never fuck her." "You two use to be best friends." "My ownself is my best friend."

I heard the door opened and I saw Keira walk in with bags. "Malik, can you come help me?" She yelled. "No, I got a patient." Malik said still doing the concussion examination. "I got it." I told Malik as I went over to help. "Oh hell no." I heard Keira say under her breath. "Can I help you?" I asked her. "No. I got it." Keira tried to grab all the bags at once, but most of them fell out of her hands. "Keira, I got this." I took all the bags from her hands. "Besides, you're pregnant." Keira rolled her eyes and followed me. "Shawn? What's going on?" She asked as she saw Shawn being examined. "I think I have an concussion." He said. Malik shook his head. "Nah, you're good. You might have a little headache for a while." Malik said. I was relieved. The team needs Shawn, him and Kevin have been leading the team since I've been benched and we can't lose one of them.

I looked in the direction Keira was and noticed her on her phone. "So who you texting?" I asked being nosy. "None of your business." She replied with a nasty attitude. Malik cleared his throat. "Man, Trey what did you do?" "Keira, can we talk?" I asked her. "Shouldn't you go, don't you have basketball? I mean that's all you care about." "Keira, that's not all. I care about my child." "Save all that bullshit for the birds, or for someone that cares." Keira went into the bag grabbing wrapping tape. She threw one of the rolls to Shawn. "Coach said he needed a roll. Take it back to him." Keira instructed Shawn.

"Keira, you going to the tournament with the team?" Malik asked. "No, you're suppose to go." "Mr. Hosek told me you were going." "Absolutely not. I got finals to study for. I don't have time to go to North Carolina." Malik shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever. I guess I'll invite my brother to come." Shawn grabbed two pills from the medicine bottle. "Let's head back to the gym." He said as he went out the door. "Bye, Keira." I said. She ingored, like she didn't even hear me. "Man, you might need to leave Keira alone. I know she heard about everything and she's hurt." Shawn said as we walked towards the gym. "I can't leave her alone. I love her, and she's carrying my son or daughter." I replied. Shawn sighed. "It may be best. Just think about."

SETH:

I was in Chicago for only one day. I didn't tell Monaé cause she would try to come with me, but I didn't want her to, besides she has an album she's trying to finish. Aunt Kendra was joining me to go pick up Dad, he's finally getting out of rehab. "How does Dad look?" I asked Aunt Kendra. She's the only one who visits him on a daily basis. "He's great, I think he really has learned his lesson." Aunt Kendra replied as I pulled into a parking spot.

Dad was sitting outside by himself throwing little pieces of bread to the birds and squirrels. "You ready to go home?" I asked him. He looked up and surprised to see me. "Seth." He gave me a tight hug. "What are you doing here? Don't you have to go back to California?" "Yeah, tomorrow. The All-Star break ends tomorrow." All-Star was great, I ended up being a starter for the 2nd straight year. I had the 2nd highest vote, Lebron James beat me once again.

Aunt Kendra checked Dad out while I lead him to my Mercedes. "So you feel okay?" "I don't ever want to relaspe again. I have you, London, Lacey, Keira and my grandbaby. I can't let you guys down again." Grandbaby? "So you talk to Keira about her pregnancy?" I asked. "She told me and I told her I couldn't look at her and she never called or visited since. I wanna talk to her." "Well her first year is almost over and she'll be here until after she has the baby, I'm assuming." "I hope she comes home. I want to help her, Kendra told me about Trey's reaction." "That jackass. I can't stand him." "I read an article, the media is starting to suspect she's pregnant, don't know if they know she was with Trey." Dad mentioned as he got into the front passenger seat. "Keira hasn't said anything on Twitter about being pregnant. She's making it seem that there's nothing wrong. But since that article's out, once you return to ESPN, that will be the first thing they ask." I replied. "Well let me talk to Keira first, then I'll worry about ESPN." Dad said. The car ride remained silent, things are changing, and I don't know if they are for better or for worse.
