Beginning of Chapter Two
-A Baby with a baby-
~~~~~~~~~
"Pregnant at just 12 years old..., what was going through your mind?"
What the hell was I going to tell my parents...*Laughs*

:: 5:20 pm, that same day ::
Now I'm sitting at the dinning room table, joined by my dad to my left, my mom in front of me and Mariah on the right. My dad had to call a family emergency and couldn't do it without the presence of my mom herself. ...well I'm f*cked😭😣
"So you're pregnant?!" my mom yelled immediately after he told her the news.
"Y–yes..." I stuttered, looking away from her.
"Estoy tan decepcionado contigo Cómo te atreves a salir y hacer cosas adultas. Quien es el chico!?" she says in Spanish.
English: I'm so disappointed in you. How dare you go out and do adult things. Who's the boy?
"Malik...a boy at my school" I answered.
"Well where is he now?"
"I heard he moved..."
"Estupendo..." she said sarcastically.
English: great) "And what do you have to say about this Darnell?" she turned to him.
"Honey, I had no idea just like you. Its a surprise and a very complex situation. I'm highly disappointed too and Diya knows that" he said.
"So what are we going to do, huh? We're going to be grandparents already while both of our kids are still in school"
"We gotta do what we have to do..."
"What made you go out and even have sex with this boy, Diynara?" my mom looked back to me.
"I um–I thought he liked me and I just wanted to...fit in and impress him..."
"Impress him?! Why the hell do you want to IMPRESS boys at your age. You are way too young and now look what happened–"
"I just wanted some attention..." I started to cry. "No one likes me around here and you guys stay at work all day long. Abuela lives too far. I have no one! And then a boy that I been crushing on comes into the picture and shows me...love. I didn't know how to say no when that's what I've been wanting all this time. So I'm sorry mom...I'm so sorry. And I only have myself to blame, but I'm hurt too. Malik used me after we had sex and told me to get lost after claiming he never knew me. It breaks my heart because...he was my first love" A tear fell from my eye.
"Wow.." Mariah said.
"Listen baby girl, that wasn't love okay. That was just a crush with a no good a** lil boy. Your too young to understand what love is but guess what. I'm a show you what love is Diya. But this is the first and last thing I'm a do for you other than take care of you while your in my house. So listen up......all of you. Nobody knows about this, you hear me. Only us four and abuela is going to know about Diya's pregnancy. So when you start showing...even just a little bit, I'm pulling you out of school and you'll be homeschooled instead. I can't have my daughter setting a bad image for us and especially not for herself. When the baby gets here,...me and your dad are going to take he or she off your hands so you can go back to school, and later get your own place. So...the baby is going to be like your sibling and I guess we'll just have to tell the kid when they're older. Unless...you think you can handle taking care of a baby..."
"Will I still get to see the baby?"
"Of course Diya, that's the last thing we're doing is giving it to the system. But instead of you being mommy, you'll be sissy and I'll be temporary mommy"
"Mom really? Why can't she just take care of the kid herself, it's her fault remember" Mariah argued.
"Because that is not what kind of mother I am. I understand your sister made a poor decision but that doesn't mean I'm letting her off the hook. When the baby gets here, your going to be raising it Diya. Just until it becomes a toddler and you start high school. So you can kiss middle school goodbye and all your childhood too until you're 15 maybe. Wanna be an adult so bad, well you got it. Just as soon as you pop"
:: The next day at school ::🏫
"So you're knocked up by that prick, huh?" Kehlani looked over while we both sat on the steps at recess.
"Yep..." I looked down, feeling the bright sun shinning down on my face.
"I'm sorry girl, I feel kind of bad for you. You and him only did it once too?"
"Yep.."
"Damn. I bet you ain't gonna be having sex for a while after this baby"
"We'll see" I smirked.
"So you heard about him moving right? How are you going to tell him?"
"I'm not going too. He'll just leave our kid behind like he did me and I won't let him break my child's heart too"
"You already sound like a mom" she smiled at me.
"A mom at 12 years old...what an embarrassment" I shrugged.
"It'll be okay, okay. Just gotta step up now and think about the baby....even at a young age. You gotta take care of your responsibility now"
"I know. A responsibility I never wanted nor seen coming. I just...hope it doesn't hate me when it's older. My mom is going to make he or she as her child until I'm older. That way, it'll save my image of being a disgrace and...it'll give me some time to get my sh*t together"
"You have a great mom for real then. No mom I know would do that for their child"
"It's the Dominican way I guess. Family is everything. But...once I start showing, I'll be dropping out of school. Just until high school though, then I'll go back to public school"
"Awww. I'm a miss you in school"
"Me too but you know where I live...and you better come visit me and your godson or goddaughter when they get here"
"I'm godmom!?"
"Who else would I pick?" I smiled up at her.
"Yeah you're right, but I'm still thrilled about it. My best friend is having a baby" she rubbed my stomach.
"Yeah and don't tell anyone okay. It's supposed to be a secret but I trust you. I can't let anyone find out about me having Malik's kid.."
