Chapter 7- Memories

Ayona

**Five months and some change ago**

"Ughh, this is like the third time today and it's not even noon yet," I groaned as I gasped for air on the floor, sitting up against the shower door. I scrunched my face when the smell of my breath hit me.

Oh damn, this rank.

Almost a week ago, I'd been throwing up randomly, why? I'd had no idea. All I knew was that Porsha had taken me to this new restaurant she supposedly 'loved' and it was a seafood joint. Now words couldn't possibly describe how much I loved me some seafood but only home-cooked by my mother or me. I might've even stretched it and said Porsha too...

It was shortly after I'd made it back to my apartment with Porsha that I'd started throwing up. Food Poisoning. That's what we'd both thought it was...

After a year together, Daystar and I were doing great, but then before he'd left for his tour we'd had an argument. With his fame, we'd both decided privacy was the best option. In regards to that, we'd kept our relationship to ourselves only sharing it with our circle of people.

A few days before he'd left for his tour, he'd asked me to move in with him, but I'd refused. It wasn't that I didn't want to move in with him, but I was used to being on my own and I wasn't sure if I was ready yet.

Either way, since after the argument we hadn't talked to each other until he'd come by my apartment to let me know he was leaving for Houston.

Since then, he'd only call to make sure I was alright and that was that.

After I'd managed to get cleaned up, I headed for the kitchen to make some tea in hopes that my stomach would settle the fuck down.

Shit.

Shit, shit. Damn.

I looked again. No, please, no.

This was my sixth time looking at my calendar, this couldn't be right.

I had been working on something for work when I opened my calendar and bam, it hit me.

Shit hit me so hard, I'd almost passed out. It hit me, that for the last two months I, Ayona Summers, had missed her fucking period.

I'd missed my period once or twice and even been extremely late or extremely early but never had I missed my period two months in a row, fuck!

The next day, I had gotten a few pregnancy tests and the minute I was off work I went straight home and peed on the sticks.

Fuck, I thought as I looked between the box with the instructions and the stick with the results.

Positive. No, that couldn't be right, so I continued and peed on every stick I bought hoping the results would change. But nope, every single one of the stick showed me positive results.

What was I going to do? I doubted Daystar wanted a child and I didn't even think I wanted one. If anything I was the wrong person for the job, kids were always cute when you watched them and gave the sneaky bastards back to their rightful owners.

Growing up, I'd been the go-to for babysitting, didn't mean I was over the moon about kids.

I wasn't the one who believed in marriage before children or marriage at all 'cause everyone I knew that was married was either divorced or it seemed their marriage brought them more suffering then it did happiness.

It didn't mean that I wanted to be the type of female that had multiple children with multiple men. No, not at all. I got why people married, but I just didn't think I was built for it.

I didn't know if Daystar wanted kids or not, but I wasn't going to bother him with it. He was still young and he was doing good for himself. He didn't need that type of distraction.

I knew what I had to do, I just hoped he wouldn't find out...
