** Miranda's POV **

                  ** 3 Months Later **

Its been 3 months since Jermaine proposed to me ! We  are about to move into a beautiful mansion together && I have been wearing big clothes to hide my pregnancy from my church && my family. Life is going just great

I was just about to get in the shower && get ready for bible study but then my phone rung , it was Kelly

Kelly : Miranda we need to talk , NOW !

I got a little bit nervous " Umm about Wha " I said into the phone

Kelly : I heard you was pregnant

Right when she said that , my stomach started twisting && turning

Me : What ! Why would you say that ? Who said this ? Who all knows about this ?!?!

Kelly : Don't worry about all that right just tell me , are you pregnant ?

Me : Me ? Pregnant ? Nah

Kelly : I'm suppose to be yo best friend Miranda ! Your lying ! I know you , I know when your lying && right now your not telling me the truth

I took a deep breath , me && Jermaine made a deal that we wouldn't tell ANYONE about me being pregnant .

Me : I'm sorry I lied Kelly but I really don't want anyone to know

Kelly : I understand girl but I'm Boutta come over so we can talk about this

I hurried up && jumped in the shower && got dress . Right when I was finished , Kelly wss knocking on the door .

Before I could even open the door , Kelly busted through the door !

" I can not believe that you are pregnant ! Why didnt you tell me!?!  I mean I know you don't anyone to know but damn I'm your best friend  Miranda ! " She said

She looked like she wanted to cry ! I could tell that I really hurt her .

" I'm sorry Kelly I just couldnt tell anyone ! Not you , not my family , not even sister Joan && you know Shes a very special part of me ! No one knows Kelly . "  I screamed at her

She remained silent for a minute && then she started smiling

" So tell me everything ! Who's the baby daddy ? " She said cheesing from ear to ear
" J Cole is the dad " I said looking down at the floor

When I said that , her mouth dropped open
" Oh my gosh are you serious!? Girl you know the church not gone be happy ! Especially Sister Joan && pastor Watkins " She said

( Pastor Watkins is Sister Joan's husband )

" Ugh I know " I said crying

" Aww sweety don't cry , I'm here for you ! But atleast you gone be rich ... Speaking of rich , is you putting him on child support ? " She said

Shes gonna be pissed that I didn't tell her that me && Jermaine is engaged . I already told her about the baby so I might as well tell her about the engagement but I just decided to remain silent

" I'm thinking about it but just promise me that you won't say anything about the pregnancy " I said to her in a very serious voice

" Don't worry , I won't say a word ! But its getting late so I should go " She said laughing

She picked up her stuff && walked out the door.

After she left , I went upstairs && laid down . Kelly really wore me down today so I was too tired to go to bible study today. I laid in bed && watched the Cleveland show until I fell asleep

                  ** Friday Morning **

I walked outside && waited for Jermaine . I have a job interview today && he's suppose to take me.

About 20 minutes later , he finally pulled up. When I got in the car , he looked a little sad.

" What's wrong with you ? " I asked

He was silent for a minute but he looked pissed . About 2 minutes later , he finally spoke .

" Everything is what's wrong Miranda ! Your 3 months pregnant with my baby , were engaged , && no one knows Miranda ! We don't even act like a couple ! We don't live together , we don't kiss  , we don't go on dates , nothing ! You suppose to be my girl && you treat me like a like a friend ! When im in a relationship , I wanna show my girl off , I want to spoil her && buy her whatever she wants , I want to go places with her && when people see us , they know that Shes mines && mines ONLY . Miranda I love you && I want to treat you that way but its like your pushing me away instead of trying to make this relationship work && I just don't know what to do "

It was really silent , I didn't know what to say ! I honestly didn't know he felt this way nor did I realize that I was doing anything wrong

" Im sorry you feel that way Jermaine but I'm going through a lot right now && I wasn't really thinking about our relationship but I'm sorry I promise I will try to do better , I promise you I will ! " I said

He started to smile .

We pulled up at the doctors office && I got out ( Shes applying to be a medical assistant )

                 ** 30 Minutes Later **

I ran outside with a big smile on my face !

" I got the job ! " I screamed at Jermaine with a big smile on my face

" Congratulations baby ! " He said hugging me tight

He dropped me off at home && just when I was about to call Kelly , she called me .

Kelly : They know

Me : Who is they && what do they know ?

Kelly : Somehow tiana found out that you were pregnant && engaged to j Cole ( which you failed to tell me about ) && she told everyone

My stomach started twisting && turning

Me : Please tell me the church doesn't know

Kelly : EVERYONE KNOWS

I hung up the phone quick && laid in my bed && cried myself to sleep

                ** Sunday morning **

I sat in the car && watched everyone go into the church . All I've been hearing about for the past couple days is me && Jermaine's relationship ! Its all on the internet && everyone I know has been texting / calling me about it

About 10 minutes later I got out the car && went inside. As I walked in , everyone just stared at me ... I felt like crying && dying at the same time
