The next morning I awoken from some unbearable cramps. I haven't felt such cramps before. I felt nauseous. It's been a while since I've had morning sickness.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I got down on my knees and threw up into the toilet.
"Babe, are you ok?" I heard a voice say. I turned towards the door to see Jaden standing there rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah. Just a little morning sickness that's all," I replied.
"That's random. Last time you had morning sickness was a month ago," He said as he walked in.
I felt more vomit in my throat. I released it out my body and into the toilet. "I guess the baby has it's own plans," I said. Jaden shrugged and left the bathroom.
I didn't feel anymore vomit in my system so I got up and went to my phone. It was 10:30. I had recieved a text from Blue reminding me to meet her there in an hour.
I went back into the bathroom and got ready. In the middle of my doing my morning routine, Jaden walked back in. He grabbed his toothbrush.
"Where are you going?" He asked as he put toothpaste on his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth. "I'm going somewhere with Blue I said as I finished getting ready.
I didn't wanna tell him about Blue's situation because I respect Blue's wishes.
I left the room and went downstairs. I grabbed my purse and left out the house. I hopped into my car and drove to McDonalds to buy some breakfast and then made my way to the OB/GYN office.
I entered the building to see Blue checking in. We both sat down in the waiting area and waited until the doctor was ready to see us.
"Are you nervous?" I asked and Blue nodded. "Did any paparazzi see you enter this building?" I asked.
"I don't think. I doubt it anyways but I hope not. If they did. I'll just say this was your appointment," she said.
"Blue-Ivy Carter," the receptionist said. We both stood up and followed the receptionist into a room.
The receptionist left and we were alone for a while. During that while, the room was silent. You could hear a pin drop.
The doctor soon came in. "Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. I'll be your OB/GYN for today. If you could just pee in this cup, We could get started," He said as he handed me the cup.
I looked at him confused. "Um...Excuse me doctor, you've been mistaken. This appointment is not for me. It's for her," I said as I handed Blue the cup.
The doctors eyes widened. "I'm so sorry. My mistake. I hope I didn't offend anyone," the doctor said.
"Its ok," I said and Blue got up and went to the bathroom to pee.
A few minutes later, Blue came back inside the room. She handed the doctor the cup and sat next to me.
The doctor soon left the room leaving me and Blue in there alone. There was an awkward silence between us and I didn't like it so I decided to break it.
"What are you gonna do if it comes back positive?" I asked. "I don't know she said, her voice cracked a little.
"I'm scared Imani. I'm 13. I can't raise a child. I could barely take care of myself let alone another human being. That human being is gonna be my responsibility. I don't think I can handle that," Blue started to cry.
"I'm gonna be alone. Mom and Dad are obviously not gonna help me. I don't know who the father is. If the baby looks like him I don't know what I'll do.
I don't wanna put it up for adoption because I carried him or her for 9 months. I pray it comes back negative because abortion isn't sounding too bad right now.
"Abortion! Woah! What? You would actually consider killing your child," I said.
"I mean it's just a cell. It's not like it grew into anything yet," She replied. "How would you know. You don't know how many months you are," I said.
"Look, I wouldn't be proud of it but its my only option," She said. "No it's not," "Yes it is! Can't you see? It would be for the best," Blue said and the doctor walked back in.
"The results are in and congratulations! Your 9 weeks pregnant," The doctor said.
Blue started to cry. "Tears of Joy?" the doctor asked and I shook my head.
"Ok... Well, I'll just leave you two alone to discuss this," The doctor said and was almost out the door but Blue stopped him.
"Wait! Um...When is it too late to get an abortion?" she asked. The doctor stopped, turned around and looked at her.
"Uh...Well in the state of California. You can't get a medicated abortion after 8 weeks and can't get like a surgical type one after 12 weeks," He said.
"Oh. Ok," Blue said and the doctor left the room. "Are you seriously thinking about getting an abortion?" I asked.
Blue stayed silent. I looked at her. "I cannot believe you!-," "Why can't you be supportive! I told you it's my only option! It's not something I wanna do but I have to! It's what's best for the child and for me!" Blue interrupted.
She got up and left the room. I shook my head in disbelief and did the same.
