Laila

"I'll shoot you bitch!" Clarence yelled, his other hand protectively on my belly. My breathing quickened. They didn't care that a pregnant woman was right here, and they were about too pull this bullshit in public.

"You lucky. I'm sorry Lay." Jay apologized. He put his gun back in his waistband, after sometime Clarence did the same. I was happy that they came too their senses but, pissed that they would put me in danger like that.

I knocked Clarences' hand off of my stomach; I stood and flipped them both off. I quickly stormed off. I was extremely upset. Of course they came chasing after me but, I ignored them.

*2 weeks later*

I was finally at my first appointment too check on my baby. I was excited. I still couldn't believe I was going too be a mother.

"Laila White!" The doctor yelled, I looked up at a slender white woman holding a clip board. I stood and I followed her to the back.

"You're now 3 months, which is 13 weeks. Your baby is growing fine. How many pictures would you like?" She asked sliding the cold jelly around on my belly, showing every inch of the tiny baby.

I sighed, tears slid down my face. I couldn't believe I was going too be a mother. I pulled out my phone and FaceTime Clarence, he answered but I didn't say a word. I flipped the camera letting him see the ultrasound screen.

A smile crept across his face. I giggled and looked at the doctor.

I flipped the camera around. "I'll take 10 pictures." I smile as she wiped off the gel. I pulled down my shirt, then she left the room. I look at the phone and roll my eyes.

"I can't believe imma have somebody calling me Mama, but tomorrow I'm going to start baby shopping." I planned on getting Gender Neutral stuff until I figured out what I was having.

After a 10 minute conversation with Clare he had to get back too work. The doctor, who I found out was named Dr. Kennedy brought the pictures.

I stood in the kitchen. Tonight I was gonna make dinner for Clarence. Dinner consisted of some Authentic Tacos, and for dessert I was gonna make him eat some fruit.

I stood in the kitchen chopping onions. I was humming Megan Thee Stallion. My hums were silenced by the sound of Clarence IPad ringing.

I wiped my hands on a towel and answered the FaceTime, there was a lightskinned girl holding a little boy that looked exactly like Clare, her eyes went wide and she quickly hung up.

Short chapter, who do y'all think the girl is ? :)))))
