"What do you think it is momma?" Say'jah asked as we sat in the waiting room.
It was Saturday and me, my mommy and Say'jah were at Dr. Baxter to find out what was wrong with Say'jah. She did a blood and urine test like 25 minutes ago so we were just waiting now.
"Whatever it is, let's just hope you don't get your ass beat for it" my momma huffed. To say she was upset about the situation would be a big understatement.
Dr. Baxter came to us sometime later. I was trying to read the expression on her face but it was a mixture of confused and scared.
"What is it? Am I okay" Say'jah spewed questions at her
"Well, Say'jah" Dr.Baxter sighed and I could see my momma rolling her eyes, "We've never seen anything like this before. You have trichomoniasis"
"What, what's that?" my momma asked
"It's a type of STD" Dr. Baxter replied
"Okay so why have you never seen it before is it like rare?" my momma asked again
"Yea that's the thing Sadiya, Say'jah has trichomoniasis and she's also pregnant"
There was a longggggg silence after that. My momma just laughed and walked out, while Say'jah sat down in the chair crying.
"Well is the trichomo um STD curable?" I asked
"Yea" Dr. Baxter nodded quickly, "With a few antibiotics and infection creams it'll be gone"
"Okay thank you Dr. Baxter" I said
"No problem Zyra and Congratulations Say'jah uh I guess" she said walking off to her office
I sighed to myself before walking to Say'jah.
"What are you gonna do?" I asked rubbing her back
"I don't know" she sniffled
"Well you may not believe it right now Say, but everything happens for a reason. Who knows maybe the baby will grow up to find the cure for cancer or something"
"But I'm 19 Zyra. 19. I was supposed to become a marine biologist and be successful before I even think about having a baby" she cried
"You can still do all that Jj. Take online classes so you can still get your degree, the world isn't over Say'jah. You're gonna be okay"
"But how am I supposed to face Daddy" she said looking up at me
"Wren will get over it eventually" I chuckled, "Who's the daddy?" I asked, because I reallllyyyy wanted to know.
"Fuck" she said putting her head back in her hands
