Beauty and the Savage

Malaysia POV

"It's Harold's baby. I'm like 80% sure. We had sex before X. We were drunk. But the thing is, what if no one believes that it happened before Xavier. And what if she wants to fight me. I can't fight someone knowing there's another being depending on me"

"Bobbie will believe you. You know Bobbie will always have your back. You should tell her. Then you two tell Harold together. You and Harold are now a team and have to stop on the same page" Mom said.
I nodded and turned onto my back.
      It could be Pablo baby....
      Maybe.
     "I hope it's Pablo's baby. Then there will be no unnecessary drama"

    I stood outside Bobbie's house. Going over what I was going to say.
Knock. Knock.
    Ms. Nicki answered the door. "Hey, Malaysia" she smiled, inviting me in. I stepped inside the house and pulled the hood of my hoodie off my head.
    "What's up, Ms. Nicki"
     "Not much. Bobbie is at Xavier's and Dray up in his room. You looking for her?"
"Kind of. But I'd love to talk to you for a second. About something important"
Ms. Nicki narrowed her eyes before leading me into her room. I sat on the bed and she stood in front of me.
"What's wrong, Malaysia?"
"I'm pregnant. Found out yesterday. And I don't know who the baby daddy is. There are two candidates. So I was wondering, how did you handle not knowing your baby daddy?"
Maybe I'm out of pocket for asking that. I should've kept my mouth shut. What if she thinks I'm a hoe now? Or what if she thinks I'm slut shaming her?
"It's this horrible feeling. That you don't know what to do. The whole pregnancy I prayed it would be Bobbie's father's baby. But I always knew in the back of my head who it was" she shook her head.
"I feel like I know it's Harold's baby. But I want it to be Pablo's. If it's Harold's baby then everyone will know we slept together. And they may not believe it happened before X"
Ms. Nicki took a seat next to me and put her arm around my soon to be big body.
"Your real friends will believe you and everything will be just fine. But you should tell them that it might be Harold's, so you don't have to worry about them finding out in 9 months. All you should be worried about is this little life growing inside of you. Make sure you eat healthy, go to all your checkups, and keep the father involved. Even if you don't know who" she told me.

I sat on Bobbie's bed, waiting for her to come back. Eventually- she came in.
"Hey, Malaysia" she smiled. She threw her purse on the dresser and plopped next to me.
"Hi, Bobbie"
We sat in silence before I began to speak.
"About a week or so before I introduced Xavier to Harold, me and him got drunk and had sex. And I didn't tell you because I didn't think it was important" I began. She immediately interrupted.
"Malaysia!! Why didn't you tell me!"
"Because, it wasn't important until now. Now.... I'm pregnant. It could be Pablo's or Harold's. And..... I don't know what to do"
I began to cry. Not even just tears, but boohooing and screaming. Bobbie wrapped her arms around me and tried to comfort me.
No one understands the agony and pain that I feel. I feel dirty, and horrible, and sick.

Bobbie's POV

After Malaysia had her melt down she fell asleep, bear hugging my abdomen.
"Yeah. I can't come over tonight. Me and Malaysia are having some bonding time"
"I'm just so relieved the test came back negative. We just not ready to have no kid together" Shayaa spoke into the camera. We were on FaceTime, discussing my negative pregnancy test.
"Yeah, I get it. One day"
I felt her arms squeeze tighter. My little baby so scared. But I'll always be by her side fighting with her. This our baby.

"I don't want to do it, Roberta" Malaysia said. We were standing outside the little restaurant owned by Harold's uncle.
Lay's mom finally convinced her to tell. So we'd invited Harold, X, and Pablo. Momma said in case they start fighting invite Shayaa. And Shayaa brought Tip because they thought we were just going out to eat.
"Please, Laysia. We need to do this. Even if this doesn't go well, this baby will be loved. By me and you and your family"
She nodded and we walked in to the empty restaurant. They had closed it just for us.
In the corner was everyone we had invited, all laughing and talking.
Laysia led the way and we sat down across from them.
She put her hands into her large hoodie and stared into the side of my face. Everyone at the table grew quiet as they watched.
"So. We have something to say. And no one is allowed to speak until we're done"
X wrinkled her nose and glanced at Malaysia. Shayaa squinted his eyes at me, Tip stopped sipping his drink, and Harold put down his chicken.
"Alright. Harold... Pablo. Like 2 months ago. I fucked Harold. Before Xavier came around and we never told anyone because it wasn't a big deal-
     "I know y'all fucked. So if that's what this is about we can stop" X said with an attitude.
     "You gotta let her finish" I mumbled.
     "Like I was saying. It wasn't a big deal. Then me and Pablo started doing whatever it is we do. We fuck. Quite a bit. Not as much as Bobbie and Shay, but let me not get off track. Turns out... I'm pregnant. And no I obviously don't know the father and yes I'm positive I'm preg"
     Tip spit his Sprite all over the table. Shayaa looked over at Harold. It looked like he was trying to process. X looked high key pissed.
     "This what happens when you fuck with thots, man" Pablo huffed then stood up. I wrinkled my face up. Was this about to turn into a fight? Because I'll throw hands with a nigga. Period.
      "You're dismissed. You can leave now" I glanced at him. He rolled his eyes and walked out.
      "So. I'm out. I'll hit you up later" Xavier rolled her eyes and got up.
       "Find out whose baby this is" Harold glared at Malaysia. "They not sticking my baby while it's still in my stomach. We'll find out when I give birth" she said.
      "Aight" he shrugged and started walking out. "Imma go see how he doing" Shayaa quickly followed.
      "Can we get another round of wings!" Tip yelled. "You not leaving?" I asked.
"Hell nah these wings delicious. Bongrats Lay Lay. You having a baby"
We ate two more rounds of wings and then went to Shayaa's house. Before I knew Lay was pregnant, me and Shayaa had planned a movie for the gang. So let's pray everyone can get along.
Once we pulled into the driveway, Lay grabbed her bag of clothes and took a second to reapply her lip gloss. I went ahead and walked up to the front door. I used my key and walked into the living room.
Shayaa and Harold were talking, Pablo and Chevy were on the other couch.
"The other guys on they way?" I asked, walking over and plopping into Shayaa lap.
"Yeah. X not coming tho"
"Damn. Harold, y'all good?" I asked, genuinely concerned. The last thing Malaysia wanted to do was break them up.
"She bool with me. She just don't want to be around Malaysia"
I shook me head.
Malaysia finally walked in and threw her duffel bag on the stairs before setting onto the floor near me. Tip, Nudy, and Dray (surprising) filled in the empty spots.
"We ordering a pizza?" Nudy asked, pulling out a fat blunt. "Nah we getting Chinese" I smirked. "And who let you decide?" Dray glanced at me before focusing back on his phone. "My man" I stuck my tongue out.
After ordering our food and deciding on a scary movie, I grabbed a blanket for me and Shayaa. I was probably gonna fall asleep. Welp.
"That ass getting dumb fat" Shayaa whispered in my ears as the intro to the movie began. His hands were rubbing my butt through my shorts. "All you, babe"
