Resurface

Chapter 33

Jasmine POV

"You are indeed pregnant Ms. Sanders.", The nurse said wiping the clear gel off my stomach, "Four weeks to be exact."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Four weeks ?"

I looked over at Mell and he stared at the ultrasound in confusion.

"Yes Ma'am. Did you have any questions for me ?", She asked.

"Um, what should I expect ?"

"Your body will experience a few changes. Most are common symptoms including vomiting, hormonal changes, missed periods, dizziness and nausea. You will also notice your smell senses become more sensitive."

I nodded taking in everything she said as Mell kept his eyes glue on the screen probably wonder where the baby is.

"I know this may be a lot for you, especially if this is your first time expecting, but don't worry. Try to stay calm and stress-free at all times.", She reassured.

"Okay, thank you. I'll try."

She gave me a small smile before walking out the room and closing the door behind herself.

Mell stood up and passed me my shirt.

"You alright ?", He asked.

I slipped my shirt back on and stepped down.

"Yeah.", I muttered.

*** ****

I slipped off my shoes and plugged my phone up before sitting on the bed.

I looked up over to see Mell leaning himself on the doorway while he stared at me.

"So you wanna talk now or what ? I respected your silence in the car, but I need you to tell me what you're feeling right now."

"I'm fine."

"You and I both know that's a lie, so tell me wassup and quit beating around the bush."

I could feel the tears welling up on my eyes and I quickly wiped them.

He sat down next to me and pulled me into his arms and I finally broke down.

"I'm not ready for a baby Zarmell ! I know nothing about raising a child !", I cried.

He wiped away the tears from my eyes and kissed my lips, "You don't have to worry about that baby. I got you through every step of the way. You're going to be a wonderful mother, you and I know that. I don't need you stressing over it."

"Easy for you to say, You raised Aubreé."

"With the help of you and mostly Tamia. I wasn't ready either, but with the help I received I was taught a lot.", He pushed a strand of hair out my face, "What I'm saying is you don't have to be ready, but you don't have to be afraid either. You got me through this whole thing. You got a support system."

I nodded and wiped away my tears, as I bit the inside of cheek.

"Let's get tattoos Mell."

He laid down on the bed pulling me down next to him.

"Of what ?"

I smiled, "Your name."

He looked over at me and smirked, "You that in love with me to get my name tatted on you ?"

"Are you in love with me to get my name tattooed ?"

"Hell yeah, fuck you talking bout ?"

I plucked his mouth and he mugged the hell out of me before pushing me away from him.
