I sat in the passenger seat of my brother's car with my hands buried into the crease of my thighs. To say I was nervous was a understatement. At the age of nineteen, I can proudly say I've never had a pregnancy scare .. better yet, the thought of me being pregnant has never even crossed my mind.
My eyes met the entrance of the clinic as my brother walked out with a look of irritation on his face. I knew he was upset with me but he would never show it, he loved me too much.
"Come on Nelle," he muttered as he opened the car door. I slowly unbuckled my seat belt, mentally preparing myself for what was about to happen. This could either go great or terrible and I was hoping for the great side.
Closing the car door behind me, I made my way into the clinic following behind my brother.
"Cassidy Richards?" The nurse yelled out as she held the door open. A young girl who couldn't be more than fifteen stood up with a protruding belly. As she stood, her eyes lit up and a smile took over her face.
"NELLE!" my brother yelled out as I quickly snapped out of my daze and looked at him. "You good? You ain't here me calling you?" He asked as I honestly shook my head.
" Fill out these papers ma'am, and then the doctor will be right with you." The receptionist said handing me a clipboard with a stack of papers attached to it.
The clinic wasn't crowded and I was thankful for that. Memphis was small and I didn't need nobody spotting me here and running with it. I sat in one of the many vacant seats, plopping my purse in the chair next to me.
"How you feeling?" My brother, DJ asked.
"Nervous .. embarrassed," I honestly said. I let my friend hype me up to get so drunk that I blacked out and had sex with a complete stranger.
"You should be sis," he started off with saying as i shot him a mug. "You know I'm not gone lie to you, everybody has one night stands.. I done had a couple myself," he said before he drifted off into space with a smirk spread across his face.
I playfully hit him on his shoulder as he began to laugh, "All I'm saying is you gotta be careful. "
"I'm always careful, I can't believe I let myself slip up this one time," I sighed as I continued to fill out the questions on the paper.
"Now next time you'll know better than to get that drunk," he commented as I simply responded with you right before standing up and making my way over to the front desk.
"Here you go ma'am," I politely said. The medium toned black woman that was sitting behind the glass looked up with a smile on her face before taking the clipboard out of my hand.
"Thank you, the doctor will be with you in a minute!"
Sending her a small smile, I marched back over to my seat plopping down next to DJ, "And now we wait.."
