Sienna

"Hello Ms. Marshall, how are you today?" My doctor asked.

"I'm fine doctor Phillips. Just wanted to know if I was expecting or not."

"Dear, it's no reason to be nervous, smile, there may be life imside." She smiled.

I sighed. "Your right."

"Oh, I know." She chuckled. "Anyways, lets get you all checked out shall we?"

I nodded.

"Well my dear, you are definitely pregnant. A whole three months. Congrats mommy!"

I gave her a weak smile. "So is the baby healthy?" I asked.

"Very healthy, great, strong heartbeat." She smiled.

"Thank you doctor." I smiled.

"Your welcome, I'm going to write you up you're prescription for you're prenatal pills and print out you're sonograms and you're all done!"

"Thank you again."

"No problem, see you next month. Take care of yourself and the baby."

I shook my head and got my things, maybe being a mom will be a good thing for me. Now to tell the fam. Oh how fun.

When I got in the car I called Lace. "Well, I'm gonna be a mommy."

"I'm soo excited! Come over! "

"Bitch I was on my way over there anyways!" I laughed.

"Alright bye boo!"

When I got to Lacie's house I noticed Gerald's car, so I knew he was here. I had my own key to her house, so I just walked in,and I wish I didn't. There he was in the flesh, looking just as good as the night we made our baby. Before I could go upstairs,Gerald said something.

"Hey sis, she's upstairs." He said smoking a blunt.

"Thanks." I said lowly.

When I was walking up the stairs I felt eyes on me. I looked up to see him staring at me. I broke our stare down and ran upstairs.

"Hey boo, wait why do you look like that?" Lace asked.

"Him, he's downstairs." I said.

"Who Sienna?"

"My baby daddy."

"What?" She asked.

"Cairo."

"Cairo!" She yelled.

"Shut the hell up! I don't want him to know!" I whispered harshly.

"Si, he deserves to know."

"No he doesn't, I was just a bet, he doesn't deserve shit! I can raise my child without that bastard."

She sighed. "You know how it was growing up without a father. You watched your mother break her back to be the mother and father to you and Gerald, do you really want that for you're child?"

"Why do you always make me feel like shit?" I asked.

"Sometimes you just need a reality check. That's all. Now go tell him." She said shooing me away.

I sighed and walked back downstairs.
I looked straight into his eyes. "We need to talk, now." I said turning right around to go out the door. Either he's gonna follow or not. Hopefully he won't.

Cairo

I thought Id never hear from her again. I wanted to though. I wanted to get to know her. I was hoping this day would happen, but not like this. She was giving me the cold shoulder and I honestly don't know why. She walked out the door and I followed. Gerald was looking at me with confusion in his eyes. I just shrugged and got up to go see what was up with her.

I cleared my throat before talking. "Wassup."

"Let me cut to the real reason why I called you out here. I wasn't going to tell you, because honestly you don't deserve to know, but I'm pregnant with your child." She said.

I almost passed out. Pregnant? With my child? Can't be!
"Run that back by me?"

"I. Am. Pregnant. And. Your. The. Daddy." She said slowly.

"Nah. Can't be. I wrap my shit up at all times."

"Look you don't have to believe the girl you made a bet on, but I'm telling you. We had drunken sex and you didn't use a condom. I'm three months pregnant and you are the only person I've had sex with since my senior year of high school. So I'm no whore looking to pin a baby on you. You don't have to take care of my child, I'm not asking for that. I just wanted you to know you have a child out here. If you want my number then get it from Lace or Gerald. Bye." She said.

"Wait." I said grabbing her arm. "You knew about the bet?"

She nodded. "I was in the grocery store and some of your friends saw me and started talking about it loudly. I was embarrassed at first, but now I could care less. Your gonna get yours so I don't care. Like I said if you wanna be there for you're child call me. Other than that I would rather not talk to you. I don't like you. Bye." She said getting into her car.

I turned to go back in the house when she stopped me again.

"I forgot to give this to you." She said passing me a sonogram. I couldn't help but to smile.

"I'll call you tomorrow." I said.

She just drove off without saying anything. Damn. I was hoping she wouldn't have found out. I shook my head and walked back in.

I sat down in the chair and let out a big sigh.

"What did my lil sis want with you?" Gerald asked.

"You remember that bet I made for 10gs?"

He nodded.

"Well she was the bet. I swear I didn't know she was fam. I was already a little drunk so I wasn't in my right mind. Well she's pregnant and I'm the dad. And she knows about the bet. She don't want shit to do with me." I said rubbing my face.

"You really fucked up, and if you weren't my nigga, I'd beat the shit outta you for fucking with my little sister, but imma let you live for you your child."G said through clenched teeth.

"I know and I'm sorry.Can I get her number?"

He shook his head and told me to get it from Lacie.

"Hey Lace, could I get Sienna's number."

She glared at me before writing it down for me. "Here."

"Thanks. I know you hate me, but imma try to make this better. I promise."

"I'm not the one you should be saying all the shit to." She said

"You right. Love you Lace." I said kissing her cheek.

"Mhm. Get out boy."

I smiled before leaving.

I decided to call Sienna. I gotta make shit right for my child. I don't want them to come into the world with parents that hate each other.

"Hello?" She answered.

"This Sienna?"

"Yea. Whose this?"

"It's Cairo. I just wanted to know if you wanted to get some breakfast tomorrow , you know just to talk and stuff."

"Sure. Where?" She asked.

"Uhh, we could just go to IHOP if that's cool."

"Yeah, that's cool. I don't have any clients tomorrow. So just text me what time."

"Cool. I'll text you tomorrow then."

"Yeah, see you then"

"Alright ma." I smiled.

"Bye." She said hanging up.

I gotta make this work for my seed. I just gotta.
