"It was good to be living up the high life, oh
But the comedown's harder in the headlines . "

3rd person

Lanora and Kobe had just got comfortable on the plane , Kobe getting a window seat and lanora getting the middle seat next to him .  Kobe made her sit down and let him put the luggage away since lanora came off to short . Kobe sat down with a sigh as lanora thanked him . Lanora was starting to dose off again and soon she was out like a light . The old white lady beside her started chuckling at the sight .

"Guessing she's had a long day ? " the old women smiled to Kobe as he nodded careful not to wake the sleeping girl in his shoulder .

"Yea but I haven't questioned her , she hasn't been feelin it all week "  Kobe said softly to the women .

"Well I'm Mary but everyone calls me ms.jane , and u are ?"

"I'm Kobe and this is lanora . " he says laughing making ms.jane smile .

"Those are lovely names . Are y'all dating or-

"No no no this is basically my little sister, we grew up together . "

"Oh that's nice , well Kobe if u don't mind me asking .. how far along is she ? " Kobe's nose twisted in confusion as he thought to himself .

What does she mean by that ?

He chuckled in confusion .

"I'm sorry when you say how far along is she you mean-

"What month is she in ?" Kobe could only chuckle some more . He couldn't believe what he was hearing .

"Ma'am with all due respect she's not pregnant . "

"Kobe my dear I've had five kids of my own I know a pregnant lady when I see one . " the lady examined lanora starting from the top of her head and ending at the bottom of her feet .

"She has the glow child , and if u haven't noticed her little bump is poking out . " she says to Kobe . Kobe's eyes widened . He thought to himself was she actually pregnant ? Was this why she's been sick Amoy lately and eating so much ? Is this why she locked everyone out ?

Kobe took the hand of the shoulder she wasn't laying and slowly took it to her stomach , hoping to feel nothing poking out , but infact he did , his wide hand took over her 6 month pregnant belly , her shirt deflating showing off the real shape . Kobe moved his hand in shock but slowly did it .

"How did I never notice ?"

"How long has this been going on ?"

"Who's even the father ?"

All these thoughts rushed through his head , begging for more answers . But his thoughts were interrupted by an awaking lanora causing Kobe to straighten up quick . Lanora looked over to the old women in confusion , forgetting she was on a plane .

"Oh I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to be rude . " she says quickly sitting up to great the women .

"Oh it's totally fine sweetie get all the rest u need . " the women says winking at Kobe . Lanora smiled and lays back on his shoulder but this am time doesn't fall asleep , she just sit there on her phone . The elderly women then quickly mouths to the young boy getting the just that he didn't know .

"You keep here safe hear ? " she smiled and he nodded and mouthed back thank u . Kobe then looked out the window .

"Shit ... I'm gonna be an uncle ? "
