My Boss

No More Secrets

Camille

"Wait, what? No, no, no, unh-uh, nope."

"Ms. Wilson, we have tested your urine on 3 different samples and they all came out positive."

I sighed while rubbing my temples, trying to calm my nerves.

I don't know what life is right now.

"Ms. Wilson, you are pregnant so we should set up an appointment for an ultrasound. I will write down some prenatal vitamins and minerals that would be best for you to take."

"How many weeks?"

"3 and a half weeks, Ms. Wilson."

Around that time I was with both Dennis and Galvin, hanging with Galvin during the day and Dennis at night. Galvin and I haven't done anything further than kissing, Dennis and I would use  condoms here and there but he always pulled out.... fuck, I didn't refill up on more birth controls. I was supposed to set a reminder to do so. It all came back to me.

"Ok, ummm yeah this is all so shocking. I am not sad, mad or angry about this just shocked. I wasn't expecting this at all. I was expecting to wait it out longer but, oh well."

"Congratulations then, let's get you set for your next appointment, shall we?"

I nodded. "Yes, lets do it."

After my appointment, I was parked in front of a house that I have been avoiding for almost a few months now. It's time that I stop being a punk and own up to all that I have done with no shame. I stepped foot out of the  car, walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

*dingdong*

"Hi baby, how are you." He pulled me in for a hug.

"Hi daddy, mmmm just what I needed." I hugged him back tight. 

"You alright, babygirl?" He held me still walking into the house.

"No, not really I just needed to be with you all today."

"It has been a while since you've been here. I'm glad you're here."

We finally made it to the family room, my mom was knitting on the couch, while of course my sister Adaria was snapping her life away.

"Sissssssterrrrrrr!!!!" Adaria dropped her phone running, jumps on me giving me a big squeeze.

"Hey you, look at you. Always looking so beautiful." I put her down and caress her face fighting back tears.

"Thanks sis, you didn't tell me you were coming by."

"I was around the way so I figured to see my family. Hi mother, how are you?" I sat down next to her giving her a side cheek kiss.

"Camille my baby, how are you?" She smiled at me.

"I'm hanging in there, mom." I tilted my to the side almost laying on my mom's shoulder.

She stopped knitting, placing everything on the table and wrapped me in her arms. I immediately started crying, she rocked me back and forth,  started singing to me. I didn't deserve to be held after what I am about to confess. But I needed my mother's love more than anything right now. Thankfully, it was just my mother and I, Adaria and Daddy were in the kitchen making lemonade and cookies.

"Ma...mama? I have to tell you and daddy something." I croaked.

"Robert, sweetie can you come in here please?" I sat up with my hands on my lap as she wiped my guilty tears.

"Yes, my love. What's going on?" My dad came walking into the family room with cookies and glasses of lemonade on a tray.

"Adaria, honey take your lemonade and cookies with you to your room, please."
