Chapter 28
Jalilah's POV
"I am not going to repeat myself to you again little girl! Put that jacket on", I tell Ayah. She stops her feet with a frown on her face. "I don't wanna go to the doctor. I'm not sick", she says.
Dulamah walks out from the back stopping to look at the both of us. "Where's her jacket?", he asks. "Right there, in her hands", I say. "Put your jacket on princess", he tells Ayah.
"I don't wanna go to the doctor!", she whines. Dulamah looks at me and I shrug. "Girl stop playing games", Dulamah says. Ayah crosses her arms in front of her chest with her little cute pouty lips poking out.
"I'm not very happy with you Mr. Dulamah Amhar!!! You are not my friends", Ayah yells. "Please be quiet honey. You're giving me a headache", I tell her. "What type you gotta be there baby?", Dulamah asks. "At three", I tell him while slipping on Ayah's jacket as she is now distracted watching a funny commercial on TV.
"Is that for the appointment?", he asks. I look up at him and roll my eyes. "Well yeah". He raises both of his eyebrows at me then tells me that I'm always late for something. "Oh shut up", I say zipping up my big purse.
I slip on my flats then grab Ayah's hand making our way to the door. Dulamah grabs the keys then switch the television off on his way out.

"See the baby is right there", Dr. Naimah says. I stare at the screen with a smile. "How many months is Jalilah?", Ayah asks. "Close to three and a half months I'd say Ayah", Dr. Naimah or Naimah said with a smile.
"He's huge", Dulamah says. "Baby, you don't even know if it's a boy yet. It might be a girl", I say staring into his beautiful clear eyes. "Whatever. It's a boy for now until we know the sex of it", he says. Ayah gasps then hits Dulamah's arm. "You naughty boy! You said sex-", she whispers. "Was a bad bad word", she says shaking her head.
"Yeah for you", he says playfully pushing her. Dr. Naimah wipes the gel off of me then asks me I had wanted any pictures. "Um, no", I said. Dulamah stopped bothering Ayah to turn and look at me. "Ukht that gel probably drugged her. She doesn't know what she wants. We'll take them", he says.
Dr. Naimah smiles while nodding her head. "Alright then I'll be back", she says leaving out. "I have not been drugged by gel Mister", I say glaring at Dulamah. "Why did you say that you did not want the pictures of him?", he asked. "I just didn't want them", I say shrugging.
Dulamah walks over to me with a smile. "He, she, whatever our child is.....they look just like their beautiful mother", he says leaning down to kiss my forehead. "You could barely see anything", I say pushing him away. "I saw something. How could you not see the baby. Did you see how huge he was", Dulamah said. I rolled my eyes.
This man was so freaking exaggerating. "The baby is going to be regular sized I'm sure", I say touching his hand. "I think more than six pounds", he says with a smirk.
Dr. Naimah enters the room with a bismillah before giving salaams to everyone. "Wa alaykumus salaam", we all replied. She smiles as she hand the pictures over to me. "That baby looks like an alien", Ayah says covering her mouth as she laughs. Dulamah tickles her and she laugh louder.
"Please stop", I tell him. "I'll see you next month hopefully Jalilah", Naimah says. "Yeah inshallah", I say getting up off of the table. I pull my abaya down then stretch. Dulamah tries to tickle me but I push his hands away. He's been sorta touchy with me lately.
Dulamah hands my purse to Ayah as he grabs my hand. "As Salaamu alaykum", we say leaving out.
