Work It Out (Dave East)

Chapter 38

First, I just wanna say.. I have never mentioned a Shanice until the last chapter ‼️ Shanice is a new character, she's not someone y'all are supposed to remember 😂😂

I was weak reading the comments about her. But who's to say she won't come & fuck some shit up 🌚

Just kidding.. or am I? 😇

anywho.. on to the story!

Julian

Thursday

I glanced over at Rosanna seeing her staring out the window. I could tell her mind was all over the place right now. Currently, we were on our way to the doctors office to get a real pregnancy test done.

I placed my hand on her thigh before focusing back on the road. "What's on your mind baby?" I asked her.

I could see her head shake in the corner of my eye. "Nothing."

"Nah. Act like I know you better than that. What's up Ro?"

"I'm just scared. Well not really scared, more like anxious. I don't know, I'm just ready to get this test done and get real results. I don't want to get my hopes up."

I sighed, removing my hand from her thigh, stroking my beard. Rosanna was beginning to annoy me a little bit. I mean, I understand her not wanting to get her hopes up but damn. A little positivity towards the situation wouldn't hurt.

"Look ma, I understand where you coming from. I swear I do but you have to try being a little more positive towards this."

"I'm not going to see here thinking of baby names and what my baby would look like just for me to go in there and tell me I'm not even pregnant!" She raised her voice a bit.

I just decided to stay quiet because I wasn't about to entertain this argument. Rosanna has the right to feel however she's feeling.

The rest of the ride was silent. Once we arrived at the doctors office, I took a seat while Rosanna went to sign herself in. To pass time, I used my phone. Scrolling on Instagram, tapping a couple pictures.

Rosanna took a seat in the chair beside me, I didn't even bother to look at her. I continued to do things on my phone, after a few minutes Rosanna sighed but I still didn't pay her any mind.

"Julian." She spoke softly but I didn't bother to look at her.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

I sighed and locked my phone then gave her my attention. "Sorry for what?"

Rosanna sat looking down at her fingers while she twiddled with them. "Acting like I'm not happy about this. I am but I just don't want to be disappointed, you know?"

"Rosanna. I swear I understand but you have to understand that I'm right here with you. If you're not pregnant then we'll keep trying and if you really can't get pregnant then we'll adopt or something. Okay? I promise we'll work it out."

She looked at me and nodded. I took her hand in mine and kissed it.
