Jazmines POV~

I watch as the monitors beep. Slow and steady. "We're almost done, Mrs.Dubious." The doctor happily smiles, going over my mom's stomach one more time.

My mom had been pregnant for four months and didn't even know it. She picked me up from school to take me with her to reveal the gender. I was so excited that she wanted me to come. I'm also glad that I didn't have to go to last period and see Mr.Ewik.

I should probably call Caesar. I don't know what the school did to him after everything happened. Now that I'm back at home, everything seems oddly normal except daddy isn't around. Me and mom have barely talked since she picked me up from school after everything.

"I can't believe it's a girl!" I smile, grabbing moms hand. She nods her head, seeming slightly absentminded. Out of nowhere, she begins crying. I signal for the doctor to leave. She nods, getting the message.

I sit next to her, wrapping my arms around her. "Mom, what's wrong? I thought you'd be happy it's a girl."

She chuckles through her tears, lifting her head up. "I'm not upset about that. It's just...I really brought you here to talk to you." She admits, staring deep into my eyes. The awkward tension shifts and I slowly nod, motioning for her to continue.

"Okay..first off..I'm so sorry for acting the way I have been lately. I realized I made a mistake and I didn't want to argue around you with your father. I don't want that future for you. I'm setting a bad example as your mother and it hurts." She cries.

I nod, understanding. I didn't even realize that I too had begun crying. She gently grazes across her stomach with her finger tips. "I don't deserve this. This child doesn't deserve me. I'm a terrible mother." She whispers. I shake my head. "Yes you do deserve her. You made a mistake but Mom we all do. Besides..out of the mistake is coming a beautiful child and my baby sister." I smile causing her to smile.

Though her smile fades as she opens her mouth to speak again. "You don't care that she isn't your dad's child?" She questions, surprising me. I didn't think she'd ask that. I think about it for a second then shake my head no.

"Of course not. I'm excited to meet her, mom. Her having a different father doesn't mean she's any less than a sister to me." I smile, staring at her belly. I'm really gonna have a little sister.

She softly smiles while rubbing her belly just as the nurse comes back in.

"Alrighty, Mrs. Dubious you're good to go." She smiles. I help her out of the bed then we head out.

As we drive down the rode, I turn the radio down in hopes of getting more answers and maybe even questions from her. "Mom?"

"Yes, dear?" She looks at me, stopping at a red light. I sigh, fiddling with my fingers. "So..do you know if Dad is gonna come back anytime soon?" I reluctantly question. She looks away then slowly shakes her head no. Neither of us have seen him since the day of their anniversary.

"Jazmine..I am so sorry, honey. I called Tom God knows how many times and still he hasn't answered any of them. I went to his job before I came to get you from school today and I tried to see him yesterday too but he wasn't even there. He never misses work. His boss said he hasn't showed up since Sunday... Y'know....The day after that I revealed I'm pregnant."
