His Mistress

" I'm pregnant," She stated for the second time, not sure if telling him was the right move.

" Yo, I thought you was on birth control?" He asked, hoping this was some crazy ass joke or something. He was really freaking out and his body language proved it as he touched the back of his head and fiddled with his dreads.

" I got my days confused and I think I missed my shot," She explained, scared of his next words.

" How could you be so stupid? You planned this shit out didn't you? You really scheming to get me to leave my family. Damn E, I thought yo' ass was something better than that. Lose my shit," He spoke out of rage, getting up and putting everything back on.

He knew his best chances were to leave. He was not letting this get back to Niq.

" Where are you going?" She sobbed, following him out of the bedroom.

" Get the fuck away from me Egypt," He said going towards the door. She didn't want him to go.

" It was a test!" She blurted out, causing him to stop.

" A test? Who the hell makes tests like that? That wasn't no damn test. Yo' ass was for real crying. That shit was too real," He observed, shaking his head.

" No I can make my eyes water easily, I used to do it when I was little. I pranked you because I wanted to see how you would react if we were ever put in a situation like that," Egypt made up such a dumb lie fast, not really sure of why she was lying. She just knew she didn't want him to leave her alone.

" E, don't fucking play like that. Got my heart racing and shit. Yo' ass was finna' be cut off, " He sighed in relief. Little did he know.

The next morning, he left bright and early. 4:30 to be exact. Egypt hadn't went to sleep since they'd laid back down. His reaction played over and over in her head. Every time she thought about it, it broke pieces of her heart. She was at the least disgusted by it.

Getting up, she took care of her hygienes and got dressed in the most boyish clothing she could find. She wasn't looking for attention. She wasn't even mentally herself that day. She felt queasy as usual.

After dressing, she left her house and drove to the nearest clinic. She'd missed her shot, they'd been having raw sex every since he found out she was on birth control, and she'd been throwing everything up she put on her stomach. The evidence was definitely there.

Walking into the clinic, she walked up to the receptionist's desk.

" Hello ma'am, what can we help you with today? " The desk clerk asked.

" I'm here for a pregnancy test," She lowly announced as if everyone was listening and knew her situation.

" Okay, fill these papers out and I'll need to see your ID and your insurance card whenever you bring everything back up," She instructed.

Egypt took the clipboard and sat in a empty chair in the waiting room. Filling everything out, she couldn't help but think what if she was pregnant. The home test she had took was %75 proof to her. She was hoping that %25 would conquer. Judging by his reactions, Egypt knew Reese wouldn't stick around.

Pulling out her wallet, she pulled out her ID and insurance card before taking everything back up to the desk.

" Alright thank you. Have a seat in the waiting room and a nurse will be right with you," The desk clerk informed. Doing as said, Egypt went back to her same seat.

Was this really real?  She really wanted this to be some wicked dream. Sadly, It wasn't.

Here she was, at a maternity clinic, possibly pregnant by a married man. Reality had really kicked in at the sight of him not being there with her. Blinking rapidly, she wiped her eyes. She couldn't play victim at all. It was, after all, herself to blame.

" Egypt Blantey," A woman in a scrub called out. Getting up out of the hard and cold chair, Egypt proceeded towards the back. Following the woman, they made a stop at the first room.

" Okay honey, I'm going to need you to pee in this cup in the restroom behind you. When you are done, seal it with this lid and sit it in the cubby just above the toilet," The nurse instructed , handing her the cup and its' top.

Turning around Egypt walked into the restroom, her heart both pleaded and broke at the same time. These results would determine her next choice.

Meanwhile Reese was and had been driving around all morning. Last night just wasn't sitting right for him. He admitted his reaction was both foul and cruel. That wasn't the type of man he was. He spoke out of fear and deep down he knew that he might have scared Egypt into not telling him the truth.

Then, he went on thinking about the possibility of Egypt being pregnant. Could he really hide a baby?
