Lauren's pov

  "What?!"

  I was so mad at myself, pregnant, at 18? No one in my family has had children at this age, so this is a start.

  "Pregnant Lauren?! What had gotten in to you?" Dinah asked madly.

  "Well apparently Khristian." Normani joked, causing an unpleasant face made at her from her girlfriend, but a chuckle from Ally.

  "No jokes right now, 'Mani. Now how are you going to be able to do school and take care of this baby? You still have one more year of high school, you can't do this!"

  I just stood there speechless. She's right, what am I going to do?

  "I don't know, I haven't thought about that. But I plan on finishing school, I'll probably have to either get a baby sitter or do online schooling. I make enough money to provide for him or her. I'm not giving up on the group that's for sure."

  Dinah pushed her head against the wall. "How could you be so stupid..." she said, her voice fading away by tears. Dinah crying again, what a pattern!

  "Not only her, you! You're supposed to be like a brother to us, but you're fucking one of us." She said, turning around and staring at Khristian.

  "Nobody's perfect, Dinah. I'm sure you've heard that before. I may've made a mistake but I'm damn sure going to make up for it!" He said, putting his hands back in his face. "Lay off of me okay?! How do you think I feel right now, I got my girlfriend pregnant and I'm only 16!"

  Dinah sighed and wiped her face. "You're right, it's just, it's too early guys, if you're even going to have sex at least strap up!" Dinah said.

  Normani and Ally were just sitting there listening to all of this. I have to admit, this is pretty deep shit that'll leave you speechless.

  "Despite of the stupidity, I'm still here for you, Lauren. You're my best friend and no matter what, that's not going to chance, that's like my niece or my nephew in your stomach and I'm not letting them or you down. That's goes for you too Khristian, you're like a brother to me and I don't let people I care for down."

  "Same." Normani said standing up. "You're my friends, even if we had a rough beginning Khristian, I'm not going to leave you high and dry." She spoke up. "Well you know I'm not going anywhere, I'm a grandmother now!" Ally shouted out.

  We all laughed, it's a lot going on right now but we'll make the best of it.

6pm....

  Everyone left and me and Khristian decided to watch some Hulu. So I'm taking a shower and putting on some night clothes.

  I finished and went in the room and sat next to Khristian

  I finished and went in the room and sat next to Khristian.

  "Baby I'm scared."

  He turned to me. "Why are you scared?" He asked. "What if we can't provide the right things for the baby. Plus, what if we aren't good parents?"

  He gently bear-hugged me. "Aww, bae, don't worry. You'll be a excellent mother and I'll be an excellent father. I'll do everything in my power for my child and I'm sure you'll do the same. Don't pressure yourself, we can do this." He said, hugging me just a bit tighter.

  "Okay." I said, as we layed back and dozed off.

A little shorter but it's something. Bye!
