Behind closed doors (Completed)

Chapter Seventeen

I ran to the bathroom clutching my stomach and puking my guts out. "What the hell is going on?" Kelly asked holding back my hair. "You have been throwing up for a week now and that I ate the wrong thing aint gone fly this time," she said crossing her arms over her chest waiting for me to explain.

"Ok, well I might be pregnant," I said low looking at the floor and wishing it would swallow me up. "You stepped out on my brother?" She asked rolling up her sleeves. "No ! No, I haven't had sex with anybody, but Tito." I said truthfully. "Ok, well you need to take a pregnancy test," She said walking out of the bathroom.

I think she was about to whoop my ass, even though I was pregnant, I thought to myself. "Here," she handed me a pink & white box that read Pregnancy Test on it with a stick on the front. "Where did you get this from?" I asked looking up from the box. "That's beside the point, no go pee on it so we can see those results," she shooed me in the bathroom and closed the door.

I took the stick out of the box and crouched over the toilet, pee'd on the stick and flushed the toilet. I placed the stick on the floor, then washed my hands. I was so greatful when the landlord turned the water on. The first thing I did was test the tub out and I relaxed in it for hours while the jet engines were on.

Kelly began knocking on the door. "You finished yet?" She asked from the other side of the door. I opened the door and flashed the pregnancy stick in Kelly's face. "Ewww, I just need to read the results. I don't have to touch it to do that," she said backing away and turning her nose up.

She looked at the results of the test and it read positive, I was pregnant indeed. What am I gonna do with a baby, I thought to myself. "You don't seem to be happy," she said looking sad. "I am, its just I don't know how I'm gonna take care of a baby. I mean, Tito is all the way out of state in college and your not here.

When Kelly started getting this mischievous look on her face, I knew something was brewing in that brain of hers." I know that look, what are you thinking?" I asked Kelly. "Its just a suggestion, but I can move in with you and when you have to work I can babysit." "You would do that for me?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "Of course," she said smiling at me.

I pulled her in for a hug and squeezed her. "Don't hurt my lil niece or nephew in there," she said rubbing my belly. "How long does all this puking last?" I asked. "Someone told me it last for a good three months, but its different with everybody's pregnancy," Kelly explained. "What should we do today?" I asked looking at Kelly as she opened the empty fridge.

"First thing first, you need to tell Tito he's gonna be a father, then we can go grocery shopping," she said excitedly. "Ok, I'll do that now, because I am super hungry," I said walking off to retrieve my phone. I picked it up ready to Skype, until I got a text message. Clicking on the message it read, Baby, I miss you ;) I'm coming to town today, so be ready for me. Smiling, I pressed the call button to Skype with him.

So, he can text me, but not pick up when I call, I thought. Right when I was about to hang up, he decided to answer on the fifth ring. "Hey beautiful, you get my text?" He asked. "Yes, baby. I have to talk to you about something," I said. "Give me bout thirty minutes and I'll be at your place," he said. "Your driving and looking at me, nigga hang up and come on."

"Your brother's coming over, he's on his way now. I told him about texting and driving, he can't be doing that." Forty minutes later, Tito came in out of breath. "What did you do run up the stairs?" I asked looking at him like he lost his mind. "Yea baby," he said after kissing me. "Hey brother," Kelly said hugging her brother. "How long you in town for?" She asked looking up at Tito. "A couple weeks, then I have to head back," Tito said.

"C'mon baby, I need to tell you something," I said as I looked at me knowingly with a huge smile. "What's going on?" He asked looking between Kelly and I. "I'm pregnant," I stated not wanting to beat around the bush. Tito rubbed his forehead like he was irritated or frustrated about something. "You been cheating on me?" He accused me looking me straight in the eyes. "No, its yours silly," I smiled. "Your positive?" He looked me. "Yes, your the only man I've been with, I wouldn't dare step out on you," I said truthfully.

Tito walking up to me and rubbed my belly. "What are we having a girl or boy?" He asked looking down. "I don't know yet, I haven't got an ultra sound," I replied. He wrapped his hands around me and pulled me in close and kissed me down my neck. "That's how you got that way, stop being freaky," Kelly said. "Stop hatin'," Tito said.

"We still need to go shopping," Kelly reminded me. "Oh yea, c'mon girl," I said pulling on a coat and slipping my feet into some shoes. When we got to Walmart, we grabbed some meat, fruit, snacks, soda's a case of water and two large pizza's. "Don't you get a discount, since you work here?" Kelly asked as we pushed the buggie up the register. "Duh," I pulled out my debit card along with my discount card.

We left and headed back home. Kelly popped the pizza in the oven before the groceries were even put up. Tito and I put the food and the rest of the stuff away. We sat on the couch Kelly and I had bought from the flea market. Tito held me in his arms and we talked while waiting on the pizza to finish.

Ding ! The timer on the oven sounded off. "The pizza's ready," Kelly said placing it on the counter and taking down some plates. "I'll go fix our plates," Tito got up and walked in the kitchen to fix our plates. All of us got four pieces each and sat on the sofa and laughed and talked for the rest of the night.
