Obsessed

Chapter 7

Celeste

"Hey, mami. I missed you so much!" Kaleb says, before kissing my forehead. I smiled and let him in the door. "I missed you more! Trust me." I said to him. We both went into the living room. "Cap, but Ima let you rock." My man says to me.
I'm Celeste Isabella but everybody calls me Cece. I am 18 years old and I live with my mama. I was born and raised in Jersey. Born in Jersey City, but currently living in Elizabeth. I had just graduated high school and was planning to attend my dream school, Bowie State University in Maryland. However, things were gonna have to change.
Anyway, we got back from California 2 days ago and my mother hasn't talked to me since. I told her I was pregnant and she's been avoiding me. To be completely honest, I was hurt but I know my mother was disappointed in me. However, I knew that I wanted to keep this baby. I haven't talked to my mom about it yet, but the time was coming.
Kaleb was more than my boyfriend. He was my first love, my best friend, my pride and joy. This boy was my everything. He and I have been together 2 years but we met when we were in elementary school. We grew up together and were best friends before anything. Kaleb was my soulmate. He understood me.
"How was your trip?" Kaleb asked. I sighed. "Considering I told my mom the first day we got there, I was miserable." I said. "How did she react?" Kaleb wanted to know. "Oh my God, she was so upset with me." I say. Kaleb grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I'm sorry baby. Have you figured out what you wanted to do?" He says. "I actually wanna keep the baby. I know that sounds crazy and you may not be ready to be a dad yet but..." "Baby, stop. I love you, aight? I mean, yeah this was definitely crazy. And we're mad young. But I wouldn't wanna have a baby with anybody else. We gonna get through this." Kaleb tells me. I smile and let out a sigh of relief. "I love you so much!" I said. "I love you more, mama."
"Have you told your mom yet?" I asked Kaleb. "Not yet. To be honest with you, baby, I'm scared as hell." He says. "I know, babe. We can tell her together if you want." I said, rubbing his cheek. "That would make me feel so much better. She likes you and maybe she won't beat my ass." Kaleb joked. We both laughed. "You're crazy!" I said.
My mom came home from work while Kaleb and I were eating in the kitchen. We ordered a pizza. My mother hasn't cooked me any food since I told her the news. Like, I understand you're upset with me but seriously? She came right in the kitchen and didn't say anything to me.
"Hey, Ms. Sherri." Kaleb says. "Hi, Kaleb! How are you?" My mother says. She seemed to be in a good mood, which I was thankful for. "I'm good. How are you?" My boyfriend says. "I'm alright. Can't complain." My mother said. It was quiet for about 5 minutes. "Okay, can we talk about the elephant in the room, please?" I said, not being able to stay silent any longer. "Sure." My mom says, finally talking to me after 2 days. I sighed.
"Look, mama. The last thing I ever wanted to do was disappoint you and for that I am truly sorry." I said. My mother smiled at me and gave me a hug. "I know, baby. I accept your apology." She says to me. That made me so happy to hear those words come out of her mouth.
I hated to admit it. But my mother could never really stay mad at me because I was her youngest. This was the longest my mother has ever went without speaking to me so of course it was eating me up. I hated it whenever my mother was mad at me. Or anybody for that matter.
"Have you figured out what you wanted to do yet?" My mother asked. I sighed. "I wanna keep the baby mom." I said to her. My mom smiled at me. "Really?" She says. I nodded my head. "I'm gonna be honest with you, hun. I've always wanted you and your sister to wait until you were married to have children. But, I trust you and you're very responsible for your age. I'm here to support you no matter what, though." My mom tells me. I smile at her while she takes my hand. "Thanks, mama." I said.
Kaleb ended up spending the night. He was actually scared to go home. It's been a while since the last time he's slept over. I mean, the last time he spent the night I ended up pregnant. Funny how life works out, huh?
Kaleb and I were in my room, debating on what movies to watch on Netflix. "What about this movie?" I asked. He sighed. "Baby, we watch that movie literally every time I come over." He complains. "I don't understand why we can't watch this movie now then. You never said you had an issue." I said, getting defensive.
I wasn't sure how soon I would start to feel hormonal. But I was definitely feeling it right about now. I've only been pregnant for less than a month and I was already feeling fat. So far, things were going pretty well. I was having morning sickness but that was normal.
I lay on my back. Kaleb lay his head on my leg. "Don't tell me you hormonal already." He says. It's like he always knows when there's something wrong with me. No, scratch that. He definitely knew. Just like how he could always read my mind. "I just wanna watch this movie." I said to him. "Baby, you know that I be messing with you. We can watch any movie you want." Kaleb tells me. I smiled at him. "I love you so much!" I said. "And I love you. Ya spoiled ass!" He says.
