*2 months later*
Mariana's POV
I was back home in Arizona for the week. I'm moving the rest of my stuff to Cali, I decided to move in with Calvin. We've gotten so close over these months and honestly he's an amazing friend to me. I actually was starting to like him alot but I wasn't over what happened with Jo, so I knew my trust would be fucked up if I gave me and Calvin a chance.
I'm now 6 months pregnant and this pregnancy hasn't been so bad. I've been keeping my health up and not stressed about anything. Jo'Siah and I are on civil terms, I forgave him along time ago but I don't think I can purposely put myself back in a situation to where he can hurt me.
I grabbed the rest of my luggage and my dog Scruffy, the one Jo got me for my birthday, I walked out the house and got in the car. Calvin drove here to get me, reason being cause I can't fly being how are along I am and two it's close so not to long of a ride, only about five hours.
"Hi Caly" I said in my baby voice putting on my seat belt.
"Hi Mari Mar" I laughed, stupid ass nickname. "Well how you feel?" He turned the music down.
I looked back at the house one more time. "I feel great, I know this is for the better" I smiled, we drove a little ways and I got a sharp pain in my stomach.
"Ahh wtf" I held my stomach.
"You good?"
"Yeah I'm okay, we almost there?" I needed to get out this car.
"Yeah 45 more minutes" Cal started speeding.
The pains didn't come back after but that shit was really painful, like a fucking contraction or something.
An hour later we pulled up to the house, I wobbled in the house and Cal got the bags out the car, I didn't feel good so I decided to lay down for a little while, Cal climbed in bed with me.
"You got your own bed" I laughed
"I know, I like yours better" he snuggled up with me. "Mar you wanna go out to dinner tonight, I have a surprise for you later"
Half sleep I replied to him. "Yeah baby"
Jo'Siah's POV
It's June 28th and my birthday is tomorrow, finally turning 21. I didn't have any plans or anything but who knows what can happen. I'm still in Cali for the time being, I'm staying with my cousin down here for a little while.
Me and Mari are cool, not together or nothing, not even friends, just civil. I wanted to talk to her to try and get her back to being mines so we can start our family, she bout 6 months now and I've touched her belly twice. I'm so hurt behind this.
I got out of bed and walked to the living room where my cousin was.
"Wassup Ciara" I sat down on the couch and grabbed the half bottle of Hennessy off the table next me.
"You ain't 21 yet mf" Ciara grabbed the drink out my hand. "plus nigga it's 3pm, ain't turning up this soon"
I looked over at the clock, damn 3pm, I was always up way earlier than this. I was kind of down lately, I fucked my whole life up. I had something good going with my best friend, and I just had to fuck it up.
"What's wrong cuz?" Ciara sat next to me on the couch.
"Nothing man, I just miss my girl"
"Well where she at mf? Go get her!"
"Not that simple, I cheated on her while she carrying my child, ain't no coming back from that" she slapped me upside the head. "You a dumb ass"
I laid down and watched tv, not planning on doing nothing with my day.
"Aye I'm finna head out, be ready tonight by 9, we going out with my step-brother Cal and his friend for your birthday" Ciara called out while walking out the door.
"Ight" I replied and fell back asleep.
Calvin's POV
*Later that night*
"Mari come on girl we gonna be late" her ass takes forever to get ready.
"I'm coming dick, relax" she walked out the bathroom, looking good.
"Come on wobbly" I grabbed her hand. She smacked me on the head.
"Not my name"
We walked to the car and got in and drove to the spot where my sister Ciara told us to meet her. It's a nice restaurant and bar type deal. I looked over at Mari and she had that pregnancy glow, she was so beautiful. I don't know how she will feel about it, but I'm asking her to be my girlfriend later. I didn't care that she was pregnant, I would definitely take care of the baby like it's mine.
The place was outside of town so it was about an hour drive, we pulled up and walked in. The environment was calm and the music was Jazz, I loved it.
We sat down at the bar and ordered some appetizers.
"Mozzarella sticks and some bonless wings?" I gave our order to the bar tender and we got some drinks.
"Jack and Coke and a shot of Jaeger"
I looked at Mari and she half smiled.
"Actually sir can I change that to just a Coke and a shot of water" Mari laughed at me.
"You didn't have to do that" she was so sweet.
"I know but I wanted too" she grabbed her water and I grabbed my Coke and we did a toast.
"To new beginnings" I clicked her glass against mines.
"So Mari I was thinking..." I was cut off by my sister. She walked in with Mari's ex, oh shit.
Ciara's POV
Me and Jo pulled in and walked into the restaurant, it was a fancy place but they had a V.I.P section I booked off for Jo's party.
We walked up to the bar and my brother was sitting there with his friend Mariana. He made eye contact with me, then mugged Jo'Siah.
"Yo what the fuck you bring this nigga here for?" Jo'Siah snapped.
"Me? Nigga what you doing here, you fucking MY sister now?" Cal was heated. I hopped in.
"Woah woah, he ain't fucking nothing, man this my cousin on my mom's side" I paused. "Wait how y'all even know each other?" Then Mari looked at me, her stomach was huge, I ain't seen her since the day we met at the house months ago. Then I figured it out.
"Wait the girl you been crying to me over for months? This her?" I pointed at Mari.
"Yeah cuz, that's her" Mari looked at Jo'Siah with tears in her eyes.
Jo walked up to Mari and tried to touch her stomach, but she smacked his hand away and Cal pushed his ass.
"Keep your hands off her bro, you don't wanna go thru this again with me" Cal stood in Jo's face.
"Y'all calm the fuck down" I stepped in between them.
They argued back and forth for a good minute, out the corner of my eyes I noticed a pile of blood on the floor and Mari was staring down at the floor crying. I ran up to her and helped her off the chair.
"Shut y'all stupid asses up and help me out" the boys was to tied up in arguing they didn't even notice this was happening. Jo ran to me, helping me get Mari off the chair. Cal ran out and pulled the car up. Me and Jo got Mari in, Cal started speeding to the hospital.
"Hold on babes, we gone be there soon" I ran my fingers thru Mari's hair trying to calm her, she was crying hysterically. Her breathing was short and she didn't look too good. I turned for a second to see where we were, I turned back to Mari and her eyes were closed.
"Yo yo yo Mari" I gently shook her shoulders, and lightly hit her on the cheek to see if she'd wake up. I checked her pulse, there wasn't one, and she wasn't breathing.
