One week later"Holy shit, there's really a baby in me," I said looking at the monitor tearing up at the sound of my baby's heartbeat.
"We tend to get that reaction a lot, but I swear that reaction never gets old." My doctor says laughing a bit.
"You have a healthy baby in there and you're healthy as well. Keep up the good work."
Dr. Grey then goes on telling me all of the important information about what I need to do and take to keep my sickness at a minimum.
"Thank you so much." I said wiping the gel off my stomach and tears from my eyes, still overwhelmed with everything.
I know I look a mess crying fool like a fool, but I can't help it. This baby already means the world to me, even though I wish the circumstances were better.

Walking out of the doctor's office, I was smiling big as hell, on a natural high of seeing and hearing my baby for the first time. Momentarily forgetting all of my problems.
I FaceTimed my bestie, Mia, holding up the ultrasound pictures as it rang.
"Hey gir- oou, Ari is that my God baby?" Mia said, a big smile forming on her face as she got closer to the camera to look at the pictures.
"My baby so pretty, I hate I couldn't be there with you, but I'm definitely gonna be at the next one. There's no way in hell I'm missing my baby's heartbeat again."
"Girl don't make me fucking cry again." I said wiping my eyes and putting my ultrasound pictures in my purse.
"You know school comes first babe."
Mia is a student at The University of Texas here in Austin where we're from. She's in her first year of nursing school there and is loving it, other than the long hours she has to put in obviously.
I used to go there too, but I took classes in the summer and winter to graduate early because I can't stand school and wanted to get the fuck, ASAP! But nah for real, I was tired of school so I forced myself to finish fast.
I of course got my degree in business, which helped me to open my boutique quicker as well. I also helped Tae with the logistics of opening his shop.
Mia is also a bottle girl at Pulse, the hottest club here, which I used to work at too before opening up my boutique and modeling full time.
Don't get me wrong, being a bottle girl was AMAZING because that's where the ballers frequent at so you know ya girl was getting paid paid, but the late hours and sexual harassment wasn't it. Plus, these modeling checks be bomb as hell so it balanced out.
Putting my phone down and starting up my car, I pause to ask Mia if she'll meet me at my place so she can help me pick out a fly ass fit for tonight because sometimes I'm trash at the shit.
