*3 MONTHS LATER..*
AALIYAH WESTBROOK
"No fucking way..." Lena whispered under her breath and my heart sunk as i saw the positive signs on the multiple pregnancy tests, "Le i can't have a baby—please back me on this."
I started to think about how Abel and i left things, then i felt a tear roll down my cheeks, "Abel doesn't wanna see me—when he found out i liked him he ghosted me—my baby isn't gonna have a father—"
Lena pouted and wrapped her arms around me. She was currently 6 months pregnant and she recently found out she was having a baby boy. Hyghly has been oddly helpful with her pregnancy. Often, he shows up at the front door with chipotle in his hands for the whole house.
Why can't i find somebody like that?
It was early November and we were still in Harlem, even though we planned on moving to California. That way Leilani can be closer to Chris.
"Everything will be alright mamas. Just take a deep breath. Do you want me to call him?" Lena pulled back and i shrugged, "I don't know, Lena. He made me promise to never contact him again after we fucked. And plus he's famous now."
My heart broke more after i remembered the night we last met.
"Let me call up Lamar and we can meet them at a baby store. Then you can tell Abel in there." Lena whipped out her phone, "and if he doesn't want to be a part of your beautiful babies life, then fuck him. You're the most beautiful woman i know, Liyah. The only reason why he didn't want you to contact him, was because he knows how bad he can hurt you, and he doesn't want to do that."
I glanced down at my little belly and my eyes started to water again, "What the fuck does that even mean?"
Lena dialed up Lamar and while she was waiting, she held my hand, "He cares about you, Aaliyah. He wants to protect you from the heart break he's good at conflicting."
Just as she finished talking, Lamar picked up and Lena went on with the details and the meet up.
My mind wandered off to how i was supposed to support this kid and how I'm going to afford he/she. I can barely afford to feed my own mouth, let alone two.
"Great! See you there, Mar!" Lena squeed and she smiled, "Go get dressed girl, make sure to wear something that covers up your bump. Maybe leggings, a black tank top and a green coat?"
I nodded and went and got ready. After about twenty minutes, i was done and Lena was waiting in the car for me. It took about another twenty minutes before we were at the baby store in Manhattan. My heart was racing as soon as i saw three murdered out Escalades.
