Damaged Heart

chapter thirty five

8 months pregnant

August

I woke up by Mercedes grunting. She been grunting for like the last 30 minutes.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked , sitting up. She seem as if she was close to tears.

"I feel horrible..so sick and dizzy." She said . I laid back on the pillow and closed my eyes.

"You think medicine will help?"

" I've took some. It didn't." She whined.

"Well it ain't gonna help to cry bout it either."

"You don't know how it feels just shut the fuck up." She semi yelled.

I grunted and got out the bed. I'm glad my leg was finally healed.

I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I got out , did hygiene stuff and put on some gym shorts,black wife beater and some regular socks .

I went back into the room and saw Mercedes was up then I heard vomiting coming from a long way. I walked over to the other side of the house as it got louder and saw she was in the other bathroom, throwing up.

"Ugh!" She grunted wiping her mouth then brushed her teeth followed by washing her hands.

She passed me and went and sat on the couch with her head in one of her hands, rubbing her stomach.

"Eat something, see if that help." I told her. She grunted.

"Ya boy is kicking my ass."

I kneeled down in front of her and put my hands on her stomach and felt him kicking hard.

"C'mon lil man , stop hurting mommy." I said , rubbing her stomach. He was still kicking but it got lighter and lighter til he completely stopped.

" thank you." She said with a breath of relief.

"Ha I think he's ready to get out."

"Well he can't , he's got another month to go."

"Yeah I know." A strike of nervousness went through me just thinking about it but I was also anxious to see him.

I eventually cooked her some breakfast and gave it to her.

"Thanks babe."

"Welcome." I said then sat beside her rubbing her stomach as she ate.

"Uhh hold this , I gotta pee." She said handing me the plate, going to the bathroom.

After a while she came back as got the plate back , finishing up eating.

"Have you thought of any names?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"No but we need to finish the room."

"When you finish eating we can go shopping some more."

"K." She said .

Once she was finished, she went upstairs and started taking a shower.

She came back down , fully dressed.

I took her hand and walked her to the car.

"Ya know ya glowing." I said she smiled.

"I'm fat." She pouted.

"No you're not, ya thick."

"In the wrong places so fat."

I shook my head as I drove now on the highway .
