"What you thinking about?" Ken asks as the foreign women continue their work on our nails. I was getting mines done in a coffin shape with a color called Bubble Bath.
"Nothing." I shrugged lying. Noble has been on my ass about seeing if I'm indeed pregnant or not and as much as I acted like I didn't care, it has been on my mind heavy lately.
The thought of being a parent has me shook. I'm barely nineteen and the thought of bringing a child into this world scared me. I'm still a child myself. I'm afraid to bring a child into this world. I'm not sure if I'm ready to love again. Noble got lucky.
"Girl, we know you." Tiz laughed as I rolled my eyes.
"Right, but she'll spill tea sooner or later." Alania spoke. "What's going on with Leslie?"
"Bitch what?"
"Too far. Why imma bitch? I'm just asking."
"Because Lani, only Mars and Noble knows about what's been happening with Leslie. Noble don't fuck with you so it has to be Mars who you're pillow talking with." I frowned putting two and two together. Mars would hurt Lani and I'd be there to see her hurt by a man I love. I don't want that for them or myself. "I'll kill y'all."
"It's not that serious." Ken rolled her eyes.
"Mind your business. I'm seeing the bigger picture." I snapped. Ken has one more time to come for me. She's one of my closest friends but she's been mad annoying lately.
"Me too and they are both grown so what?"
"You're irrelevant. Lani got a mouth."
"Whatever."
"So Lani, what's good?" Tizleigh teased as I laughed.
"Nothing is good, Cyrus. We're friends, that's it."
"Keep it that way." I smiled noting to keep my eye on Lani and Mars. I love them both too much to let them get involved with each other. I'd be in the middle which would compromise either Lani and I's relationship or my brother and I's relationship, and I'm not fond of losing either of them.
"On a lighter note, my cousin is going to be nineteen soon."
"Yassss!" I exclaimed as the nail artist began to paint my nails. My brother is only three weeks away and I had never really taken any thought into what I wanted to do to celebrate another year of life.
"What's the turn up this year?" Lani asked as I shrugged.
"I don't know something sexy and fun. I'll think of something."
"I'm down for whatever."
"Lani, can you grab my purse?" I questioned as she nodded. She is the only one done with her nails. "Open it and pull the ziploc bag out."
"Cyrus, what the fuck?!" She exclaimed pulling out my ziploc bag of grapes.
"Aw hush. Put one in my mouth."
"I refuse."
"Please." I frowned as a tear slid down my cheek. This just isn't fair.
"Cyrus really?" Ken asked trying to record me and not mess up her nails that aren't dry.
"Ken, that's not fair. All I want is one. I've been so good to Lani and now she wants me to die." I cried.
"Here cry baby." She huffed pushing a green grape into my mouth as I smiled. They were so crisp and cold.
"Mmm." I moaned.
"Pathetic." Tiz laughed as I shrugged doing a little dance while chewing my grape.

I kicked my feet in anticipation as I sat on the edge of the hospital bed. It was time to know and I had procrastinated too long on my possible pregnancy.
Everything everyone said made sense and I continued to allow myself to ignore it. The idea of having kids never once crossed my mind. At this time of my life clubs and a career would be my ordeal but a baby would change my whole life, and I wasn't ready for that. As crazy as it seems, I was ready to fuck up in life and make "YOLO" choices. A baby would change me, and I am not fond of change.
My mother waited along with me on Dr. Haynes' return. She seemed more nervous then me. Her baby could possibly be having a baby.
My Love❤: What did they say?
Baby Girl😍👑: Idk yet Aasim. He isn't back yet.
My Love❤: I wish I was there. Just keep me updated.
"Mommy, you're making me nervous." I whined pulling at the sleeve of my shirt with anxiousness.
"I just want you to know whatever happens I'll be here."
"I love you mommy." I speak wholeheartedly. My mom has been my number one supporter. Whether I'm right or wrong, she's been there for me. She's loved me, protected me, and has never judged me, allowing me to make my mistakes and decisions. She's truly been so much of an amazing mother that the love I miss from my father can't even compare to her undying love for me.
"I love you too Cyrus. I'm here for you." She said finally having a seat putting me at ease.
Dr. Haynes walked in as I took a deep breath. He had a huge smile on his face as he read over my clean bill of health.
"Congratulations, Ms. Riley. You are four and a half weeks pregnant. Everything thing seems to be fine with you and the baby." He spoke proudly as my mother smiled ear to ear. He began to speak more but I couldn't hear anything my mind was blank.
He spoke to my mother handing her papers and speaking of my next checkup. I mumbled a goodbye before walking alongside my mother into her car. We drove home in silence, well not really I could see her lips moving but I couldn't hear a thing.
Once we made it home Lucas's voice brought me back to life.
"Hey Baby Girl."
"Poppy, I'm pregnant." I cried hugging him as my phone continued to vibrate. I had so many missed calls and texts from Noble. During my leave from reality I hasn't noticed.
My Love❤: What's going on?
My Love❤: We pregnant huh?😍
My Love❤: Ouuu I heard pregant pussy is the best!😋😋😋
My Love❤: You wild text me back!
My Love❤: Stop treating me like I'm regular.
My mom took my phone and answered an incoming call from Noble as Lucas moved me towards the sofa where I laid on his chest crying.
It was obvious that he didn't know what to say to me as we sat in silence, with only the sound of my sniffles and cries. My life is over.
