"But I'm not ready to have a child yet. That's why I'm going there to get on birth control, I don't trust him."

"Well bitch wear condoms." Vonnie crunched on some chips on her end.

"Your brother doesn't like condoms. His pull out game is strong but now that I'm aware he wants another baby I'm not putting it past him if he 'slips up'.

"If that's the case you better hope your not pregnant now because if he wanted to get you pregnant you would've been pregnant."

I was late for my check-up with the gynecologist. Vee and I both stepped out on each other so it was a must to get some test ran. I advised him to do the same but he shrugged it off, swearing he didn't have shit.

"I'm not pregnant I would've received signs. Which one should I go for the shot or pill?" It took her a minute to answer.

"Do you want to think about something every three months or every day." Knowing me I'm forgetful.

"Shot it is. Tell me about your bun in the oven." She started making noises on her end.

"I'm 19 weeks and healthy. Gummy is healthy and is as big as a mango." I could tell she was rubbing on her stomach.

"I'm ready for you to pop. I need another set of cuteness overload to love."

"You're not more ready than I am. I want to do a gender reveal but I don't know where."

"Tuh that's easy have it at Angel's." She sucked her teeth.

"I'm lucky enough that he checks on me about the baby, but I can tell he's still processing the possibility of it not being his." I pulled up to the Women's Health Center. Thinking back to what this unknown person said I was curious about asking.

"Who do you think the father is?" I signed myself in grabbing a seat.

"Ajaya you think if I had a good chance of who it might be I would be in this predicament? What type of question is that."

"Don't take it personally. Maybe you could remember back to that week."

"I'm taking it very personally. I was forced to steal from my boyfriend. Raped by my ex. Now I'm pregnant. Do you think I wanted this? You think I like pulling Angel along to find out, in the end, he may or may not be the father?" I can hear the tears form in her throat.

"Vonnie —"

"No Jay you said enough. I'll talk to you whenever." She hung up afterward.

"Ms.Davis." I stood up following the nurse to the back. I shot Vonnie a text.

Me: Vonnie I'm with you through every step. But have you ever wished it was the person you wanted it to be?

"Hello, I'm Nurse Brook. I am going to need you to undress and put on the gown that's laid out and Dr.Lewinksy will be in shortly to examine you." She left out so I could change.

Vonnie 💕: Everyday I wish I knew. Angel would be a great father and it's going to break me down when we find out otherwise. I just wish he sticks around even after the results.

A knock came from the door and in came the doctor.

"Well hello, Ms.Davis how are you today?" She pulled out her stethoscope telling me to take deep breaths.

"I'm doing good today."
