Pregnant By A Gangster

Ch.9 Babies

CHANELLE'S POV.

It's been 2 days since all that craziness. And I've been locked in room. I never even left to eat. Stella brought my food. I don't wanna talk to my dad or brothers. But, I have a doctors appointment today. My mom made it as soon as we got home from the mall and lunch. It's with our family doctor. My dads personal medical team. I'm nervous and, some what excited? I don't know.

The biggest thing on my mind is Jovanny. He hasn't answered or returned any of my calls or texts. I know he doesn't want the baby but why can't he just tell me that to my face?! I deserve at least that! This is his baby! I still don't even know what I'm gonna do.

The appointment is in 30 minutes so I start getting ready. I already have makeup and I leave my hair down straightened. I put on a gray V-neck t-shirt, blue ripped jeans, and some flip flops. Once I'm done I go downstairs. I go into the kitchen expecting to see JUST my mom but no. I see everybody.

"Chanelle we all need to talk" my mom says. "we're gonna be late" I tell her. I don't wanna talk. "it can wait, look-" she says but my dad cuts her off. "Chanelle, you will be having this child despite Jovanny's choice of being involved or not" he tells me.

I nod. "and it wasn't the Graziano's who fucked us over, it was the Rubio's like they said, so, it's cool" Sebastian tells me. "no, still not cool, I can't believe you had se-" my mom cuts him off. "BUT anyways what we all mean is, we're gonna be here for you sweet heart" she says with a smile. I smile back.

"Princess, I do have a arranged husband for you, I was planning on telling you when you're 18 but, if Jovanny chooses to not be with you, you will marry the man I have for you next year" he tells me. "but what about the baby it's-" my mom cuts me off. "we'll talk about all of that later when YOU TALK to Jovanny alright?" she says.

I nod. So me and my mom drive to the doctors office. We get there and due to my dads connections, I'm instantly ready to be seen and I'm led to the room where my ultrasound will be done. "Dr. De'Vanzo will see you in just a moment" the nurse says with a smile then leaves.

"I hate the doctors office" I say to my mom as I climb up onto the patient bed. "well you better get used to it, you're gonna be here a lot" she says as she sits in a chair. "knock knock!" I hear the doctor say as she comes into the room.

"hello Chanelle I'm Dr. De'Vanzo" she says sweetly as she shakes my hand. "hi nice to meet you" I say with a smile. "hi Lucina nice to see you" she says to my mom. "nice to see you too".

"okay, so you took a couple pregnancy tests hmm? any other symptoms?" she asks. "um, my periods late, morning sickness, and I crave everything" I tell her. She lets out a small laugh. "well that definitely sounds like a pregnancy to me" she says.

"okay well first I'm going to ask you a few questions to fill out this form we have for new mothers okay?" she says. I nod.

"okay, how old are you?" she asks. "17" . . . "do you plan on keeping the child?" second question. "yes". . . "what is the support source you will have? Your parents, the child's father, or other?" 3rd question. "um my parents" I reply. . . "what is the child's fathers name?" 4th question. "Jovanny Graziano" . . . "how old is he?" 5th question. "22" I reply. She looks up at me with a "oh" kind of expression. "will the child's father be involved?" last question. "umm, I, I don't know" I reply. She nods.

"okay that is it, so if you can lay down and lift up your shirt enough so I can do the ultrasound we can get started" she says smiling as she dims the lights and turns on the monitor screen. I take a deep breath. "okay now let's see" she says as she rubs the monitor on my stomach.

"you are pregnant, and seem to be about, 5 weeks" she says. That made my heart skip a beat. This seems so much more real. "oh!" she says. "what??" me and my mom say at the same time. "um well, the babies look to be VERY healthy" she says. That's good she scared me for a second.

WAIT! "um excuse me did y-you say b-babies?!" my mom asks. "yup, if you look on the screen right here she is having twins" she says. Oh, my, god. "TWINS?!" I say in shock. I look at the screen and yup, it's definitely twins.

"oh my god" me and my mom say. "would you like pictures?" she asks. I nod. She gives us the pictures and wipes the gel off my stomach. "I will see you back next month okay? I'll have my nurse give you prenatal vitamins that you will take once a day and refill at every appointment, congratulations" she says with a sweet smile.

"wow Chanelle you, you're having twins!" my mom says excited as we walk out the office. I just stare down at the picture. "Oh my god, TWO babies, at once, two babies" I say still in shock. I can't believe I'm having TWINS!? I already thought ONE baby would be tough enough but now 2 ?! Thank god I'll have my mom and Stella's help.

We go home and tell everyone the news. They're in shock but happy and glad the babies are healthy and so am I. I go up to my room and attempt to call Jovanny. By no surprise, he doesn't answer. I sigh and feel the tears pushing to come out. How can he do this to me? How?

I lay in bed watching movies and eating junk food all day even though I should be eating healthy and getting off my lazy ass. But oh well. It's 10:00 and my eyes begin to get heavy. Man does this pregnancy thing make you tired.

I lay on my side ready to go to sleep, and my phone rings. It's a text message, from JOVANNY! I immediately sit up and read it.

Jovanny: come to my house. we need to talk..

I get up and slide on my flip flops. I hear my dad in his office having a meeting, my brothers are nowhere to be found, Stella's in the laundry room, and my mom fell asleep on the couch from watching Jerseylicious.

I know I shouldn't leave without saying anything but it's just up the street, so I do anyways. The fresh breeze hits my skin and it feels good. I begin walking up the sidewalk until I get to Jovanny's house. I go up to the front door and hesitate but ring the door bell.

His sister Vivianna answers. She smiles. "he's in his room, upstairs last door to the right" she tells me. I smile. "thank you" I say as I begin going up the stairs. "Chanelle" she says and I look back. "don't worry, if Jovanny won't be there for you I will" she says generously. I smile and nod.

I follow her directions and stand in front of the door. I take a deep breath. I raise my hand to knock but he opens the door. Now I'm face to face with him. AWKWARD.
