Revenge (Urban)

Chapter 18

Jasmine POV

"Nasir, tell your mom that you want to be a big brother." Mario said as he held Nasir in his lap and Nasir trying to eat his chain.

"Not gonna happen. I said that I'm done having kids. We have 3." I said.

"But I wanted to have a lot of kids Jas. Let's just have one more." Mario begged. I literally hate this topic.

"Nasir is only like 9 months and he's just starting to walk. I really don't like being pregnant. I just have bad pregnancies." I said. He sighed loudly and started to rub my thigh.

I laid my head on his arm and started to scroll through my Instagram. Mario focused on playing with Nasir and making him laugh.

A few minutes later my phone started ringing and Loriana's name popped up. I quickly answered and put it on speaker phone.

"Hey Lori. Wassup?" I asked in the phone.

"Mom." She said. It was obvious that she is crying from her loud sniffles and broken voice. I looked over at Mario with a worried facial expression.

"Sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked, worried.

"Are you alone?" She asked. I looked at Mario and he put his finger up to his mouth to signal me to not say that he's here.

"No, your dad is here." I said. Mario sucked his teeth.

"I don't want him here. I need to talk to you alone momma." She said in a hushed tone.

"I looked at Mario and noticed he was dialing Ricky's number. He's such a lil nosey ass nigga. I snatched his phone away from him and pointed out of the living room.

"Give me my phone." He said.

"No. After I talk to Lori then I'll give you your phone." I said. He was gonna say something else but he decided against it and just left the room with Nasir.

"Ok, I'm alone now. What's wrong?" I asked. She tools deep breath before she started talking.

"I have something to tell you mom but I don't want you to be mad or to judge me in anyway." She said.

"I can't guarantee me not getting mad but like I'll understand cause you're my daughter. You're my daughter." I said. There was a long pause before she spoke.

"I'm pregnant." She said.

I swear my heart dropped to my stomach. I'm hoping and praying that I didn't just hear what I heard but I actually did. I don't know what to do or how to feel right now. My 18 year old daughter is pregnant.

"Mom?"

"I'm just...Loriana..." I sighed.

"Mom I don't know what to do. I don't want this baby." She started to cry again.

"Lori stop crying, please. I'm not mad, I'm concerned and a bit disappointed. Coming from me who was a teen mom, this isn't a good thing and it's not an easy thing to go through. Have you told Rodney?" I asked. I'm trying to be as calm as possible and be here for her and listen to her because I know that when Mario hears this, he's killing her and Rodney.

"Yeah I did." She said then sniffled.

"And what did he say?" I asked. He better not have told her to get an abortion.

"He knew before we came back to school but we didn't speak for a while because of other reason. We finally spoke a couple days ago and he wants to keep the baby." She said.

"Ok, well I guess that's a good thing." I mumbled.

I'm trying my hardest not to fill my heart and head with full on disappointment and anger because I don't want to say the wrong thing and make Lori feel like as if she's alone. She'll need at least one parents support and she can forget about her uncles support. She'll most likely have her aunts' support too.
