I'm Pregnant...

Chapter 4

Layla...

I've been thinking lately, and even if this isn't Demetri baby I hope that one day I can be carrying his baby. I know people may say I'm too young for love, but I love him. I want to walk hand in hand until the day we die, I want to be behind him in all his moves stupid or not.

The thought of it all made me want McDonalds. As I changed from one of Demetris shirt and his blue and black basketball shorts into some sweatpants and a hoodie. Since the doctor said it would be good for me to excercise, I decided to walk since it was only around the corner.

As I was walking I seem to notice, that my hand automatically went to my stomach even though I had a small baby bump, I found it pretty cute that I had a habit of doing that. As I would look around I would notice that Detroit wasn't as bad compared to other places. The setting of it all was breathe taking, I guess you can say its the people that give this place a bad name. All the people were the same druggies, drug dealers, pimps, and hoes. Of course I just had to be apart of that clique.

At first it was cool. Being able to go shopping almost every week, but then I realized how low these bastards could be. After reminiscing about all my "friends" that turned on me just to get a quick buck, I realized that I was now approaching McDonalds. I dropped all the things that were going on in my head, because its the past. I want absolutely nothing to do with my past. Honestly I want to run from it, but at the same time accept it all because it made me the woman I am today.

When I finally approached the counter a dark haired, brown-eyed, caramel skinned girl was cheesing to the point where I saw all her pearly white teeth. "How may I help you today ma'am" she greeted me.

"May I have two McChickens and 2 large fries and a large Sprite." I scanned the menu that hung onto the ceiling for all to see making sure that that was all I wanted. "That will be all" I said reassuring her. "That will be 7.39 ma'am" I handed her a ten and told her to keep the change. I stepped to the side waiting for my order.

Once the man came up to the counter and handed me my bag and drink ,I left waiting to go home so I can devour my food, without anyone looking at me weird. Yes this pregnancy makes me turn into a pig. Once I turned the corner, about two minutes away from my front step that leads into my building.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots. My first respond was to hit the floor. In the process of diving to the floor I threw my soda and bag of food. Afterwards I heard "Tell Demetri he got something I want" then soon after burning tires.

Demetri...

It's now defiant that we move. Just to start us off on the run last night I stole 30k worth of drugs. The bad part of it all is that saw my face. In these parts of Detroit you see their face, and the people do their research just to break you down they go after your family, just to get you at your weakest time.

I'm scared because this morning I went to go talk to some homeboys and left Layla home by herself, because I thought I wasn't going to be long. By the time I come back she's gone not answering her phone or nothing.

I'm pacing in the living room until I hear keys jingling in the door. I rush over to the door, because I already knew it was Layla. I opened the door to see her in tears cradling her stomach. I picked her up bridal style and closed the door with my foot. As she put her arms around my neck. I feel hot tears coming through my shirt.

I carried her to the bed room and laid her down. I was beginning to walk out our room door to figure out what happened. Until she told me all I needed to know. "They shot at me baby. I jumped to floor, they said to tell Demetri you had something they want ... my stomach hurts I think something's wrong with the baby." I picked her back up and grabbed my keys taking her straight to the hospital.

On the road I was doing 60 in a 30 mile zone. It scared that the baby maybe in harms way especially since its my fault. When I arrived at the hospital I made sure she went onto a gurney and taken behind the double blue doors. This is the scariest moment of my life.

After hours and hours of waiting I would get up pace around the waiting room. I couldn't eat or sleep until I had news on Layla and the baby.

"The family of Layla Smith" A doctor said. I quickly hopped off of the seat, and walked to him. "How is she doc?" If something was truly wrong with Layla or the baby I wouldn't be able to live with myself. "Well when she hit the floor the babies heads were hit amongst it, not doing much damage but enough damage that if something like this happens again the babies can die." The thing that kept getting to me was that he kept saying babies. "If you would like to see her I would be glad to take you to her room."

I followed after the doctor. When the door opened I saw her laying their peacefully sleeping. One hand to the side of her the other hand on her stomach. I walked up to the bed as the doctor closed the door, after he walked out. I gently kissed her on her forehead. I was thinking about finding out who shot at her and set that place on fire with the help of my boys. I was trying to leave until Kayla spoke up.

"Please don't leave" I walked back to the bed as she scooted over. I picked up the thin blanket that was covering her small frail body and got under. Just to get her mind off of the negative topic.

"What's some baby names?" She looked up at me and smiled, while giving me a passionate kiss. "Please don't ever leave me"

"I won't" I said while combing out her hair with my fingers.
