Chapter 20- the big news
Jalilah's POV
2½ months later.......
I rushed out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. I gagged. It was definitely coming. I raise the toilet seat then spilled my guts into the toilet. Everything that I had ate last night flew out.
"Are you okay?", Dulamah asked at the door. I look up and he handed me a hot towel. I took it and wiped my mouth. "Thanks", I muttered before being jerked by my vomit and began the disgusted cycle again.
I look up at him and answered his question with a smile. "I'm fine", I say closing the lid of the toilet and slowly getting up to wash my face. He walks away then comes back with another towel. He wets it with hot water then tells me to turn around towards him.
He wipes my eyes that were teary from the force of the vomit then he wiped my whole face. "You're still that beautiful woman", he says kissing my forehead. He leaves out of the bathroom just as I leave out as well.
I head to the closet to find me a skirt to wear or just a plain colored abaya. "Do you need any help?", Dulamah asked. I shook my head 'No' then picked out a plain black abaya. "Do you want any breakfast or anything?", he asked. I shook my head 'No'.
"You want a massage to make you feel better?", he asked with a smirk. I turned around to look at him with a glare. "Please get away from me", I growled. He looked at me with shock then nodded his head before walking away.
*•*°*•*°*•*
I arrived at the hospital for my appointment twenty five minutes early. Dulamah had asked if I wanted company and I had told him 'No'. I wanted company but I just didn't want his company. So I called my friends to meet me her.
I walked into the waiting room and saw Jannah, Aisha, and Aamirah. They all walked over giving me salaams then hugging me. We all unembraced then we took a seat in the far corner. "Where's your hubbie?", Aamirah asked. "He's at work. I told him not to come", I told her. "Oh", she simply replied.
"I think you're pregnant", Jannah exclaimed after minutes of silence. I turned to look at her. I definitely hadn't thought about that. "You think?", I asked. "Yup it's a possibility that our Lila Poo is pregnant", Aisha said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes. "I hope not. I'm most definitely not ready for a baby", I tell them. "And I just can't be pregnant", I say. Aamirah looks at me through her niqab. "Have you had unprotected sex?", she whispered. I nodded. "Well.....yeah", I said growing uncomfortable where this conversation was going.
"When was the last time?", she asked. "When we were in Riyadh", I said. "Baby girl that's 2½ months ago", she say sounding surprised.
"Can we please change the subject?", I asked. "Wait, wait, hold up. Did you miss your period last month?", Jannah asked. I nodded my head. "Bam! You got your answer to why you're sick baby! Your pregnant! My baby is having a baby", she says with a smile.
I roll my eyes. "Stop being so loud Jannah", I said with a smile. "How is se-". Aamirah cuts Aisha off with a glare. "Please let's change the subject now", Aamirah laughed out.
We had started something interesting to talk about until my doctor called me.
"Good seeing you again Jalilah", she said with a smile. I have her my small bored smile. "Good seeing you too Dr. Joseph", I said. "Sit up on the bed and I'll be back", she said with a smile while holding a clip board in her hand.
