The Outcome

What Are We Having?

Four months had passed and so far I've only missed one doctors appointment. I'm really excited about being a father and finding out what I'm having! Today was the day, I asked Nichole could Ashley come and she said yeah, they started speaking to one another after I got them both in the same room and cursed them out, because I mean Ashley was my girl now, so Nichole had to respect that and Nichole was carrying my child so Ashley had to respect that. Ashley and I had finally got together about two months ago, I took her out to dinner one night and after we finished eating I asked her to be my girlfriend and I had bought her a promise ring, she cried and let me put the ring on her and said yes and we kissed, that was my first date and it went great, I'll never forget that day. The doctors appointment was at three so I started getting dressed two, I showered and put on some gray joggers and a yellow Nike shirt with a white 'Nike Check' on it and some all white roshes. I grabbed my keys and ran downstairs. "Hey mom, I find out what I'm having today, y'all coming?" I yelled from the front door . Her and the twins came from the living room all dressed up and she said "Boy thats my first grandbaby, you know ain't finna miss it, let's go!". I laughed and we walked out the front door and Darryl was walking up our driveway. My mom looked at me and smiled and then, she asked me "Kelani, baby, would it be okay if Darryl came along?" I looked at him and then back at her and I smiled and said "yeah he can, I have to go get Ashley and then I'll meet yall at the doctors office". My mom told me thank you and the twins , her and Darryl got in his truck and left. The only reason I said he can come is because the guys growing on me, I'm not gone lie he cool but, he isn't my dad. I pulled up at Ashley's house and beeped my horn and she came right out, Looking fine as ever, she got in the car and gave me a kiss and said "Hey baby!" I smiled and said "damn is everybody in a good mood today?". I drove out of her driveway and we headed to the doctors office, as soon as we got in there we seen everybody in the waiting room and we were right on time cause the doctor had just called Nichole back, she had got really big like her stomach was like a basketball. The doctor asked who all was coming back with her and she pointed to everyone except her mom. I was confused but I shrugged and we all followed her to the back and they doctor put some kind of sticky looking stuff on her stomach and Leia yelled out "ewww, what's that?" My mom told her to hush but the doctor laughed and answered her anyway, he said "sweetie that's ultrasound gel, this is how we're going to see what the mommy's having!". Leia laughed and so did Mya. He started going back and forth across Nichole's stomach with the gel, spreading it. After two minutes of doing that he finally said "this little GUY was hard to find, but congratulations you're having a baby boy!", breaking the silence in the room. Everybody was smiling and I even started crying man, I couldn't believe I was having my own son, my mom and Ashley hugged me and Darryl, hesitant, shook my head pulled me in for a hug and told me congratulations. Out of respect and the fact that she was depressed I hugged Nichole and told her thank you and this still was her son even though she wasn't going to keep him, so congratulations. The doctor gave me and Nichole copies of the ultrasound and we all went back into the waiting room, Nichole tried to show her mom the ultrasound but all she said was "mhm" and she glanced at the ultrasound, she didn't even look. I felt bad for her so I just shook my head. "Can we go shopping now that we know what we're having?" Ashley asked. I smiled and grabbed her hand as we walked to the car and replied with "you know I been saving my money, so yes we can go shopping today, where you want to go?" I opened her door and she got in and I got in and she said "the mall of course." I told her "Aight,I gotchu and you know he's going to be a Jr. Right?" Ashley smiled and said , "yeah I already knew that, because you're dad named you." I nodded my head yes and she turned the radio up while I drove to the mall. Today was a good day, for me that is.
