Chapter 6:

"Na-Na...wake up..."I hear Javier says gently.

"No...what time is it?"I moan.

"Almost noon...Cami told me what happened..."He says. I turn over, hugging a pillow, wishing it was Farrod.

"He was so mad. Javi...I just don't understand."I whisper.

"Well put yourself in his shoes. He is a pretty well off man. And he also was an eligible bachelor. A lot of girls have accused him of being the baby daddy. And then LaTrece, Compton's biggest ho, accuses him. And not even a full twenty-four hours later, you tell him....its a lot, to take in, baby sister."He says.

"I know but still."I say, as tears running down my face.

"You want me to talk to him?"He asks.

"No....he has to want this. Because I'm damn sure not getting an abortion or giving it up for adoption. I don't want him to feel forced or trapped. So it's whatever."I say wiping my tears.

"Okay, baby sister. You want breakfast?"He says, getting up. I jump up and get on his back. He laughs and carries me down stairs. He sits me down in the kitchen, Mickey brings me some French Toast. I drown it in syrup as I dig in.

"Damn, girl. Breath, slow down. It's gon still be there."Cami says walking in the kitchen.

"Cami!!"I say with food in my mouth.

"Ew. Swallow first."She says sitting down.

"Like you do fa Dre?"I say with a smirk.

"Shut up bitch."She says.

"Love you too."I say. She rolls her eyes, eating a piece of bacon.

"I made you an OB-GYN appointment. It's at two."She says. I sigh, sticking another forkful of French Toast in my mouth.

"I'm just upset he kicked me out like that. He knows me almost better than I know myself. So why would he even consider I'm a trappin' ass ho? It's so stupid, but it's whatever. I'm better than this."I say, putting my plate in the dishwasher.

"It'll be okay, maybe he'll come around."She says.

"Well I'm not waitin' around, holdin' my breath for that. I'ma go get ready."I say, then walk upstairs. I take a long shower, thinking over everything. I feel myself start to cry. Who knows what love is, because if this is it I don't want it. This pain and rejection is getting to be too much.

After I get out, I put on baby oil, deodorant and perfume. I brush my teeth, and wash my face, then get dressed. I put on purplish galaxy leggings and a black tank top. I brush my hair out and put it in a bun on top of my head. I grab my purse with my phone and everything in it and go downstairs.

"Ready?"She asks. I nod, and we walk out.

*********************

"So do you know who the father is?"Dr. Reynolds asks. I nod sadly looking away.

"He thinks I'm lying...though he took my virginity...what's weird is I don't know how we didn't notice. I mean I've been extra well aroused lately..."I say. She give me a understanding look.

"Today is September 17th....Well from the looks of it you're entering your second trimester... About two weeks or so into it. And your due date will be on March 7 , 2006. And I cannot stress how important it is for you to take prenatal vitamins, rid any stress stimulation and drink AT LEAST eight glasses of water a day. And by the way you only need to add about 300 or so calories to your diet."She says, prepping me for the pap thing.

"Alright, will do."I say, smiling. She does her work down there, then covers my area.

"Ready for the ultrasound?"She asks I nod.

"This is going to be cold."She says as she squirts the blue gel on my abdomen, then spreads it with the thing.

"Alrighty let's see if we can find the heartbeat..."

I hear something like a horse galloping, "Oh! Found it. Okay now if you look up at the screen, you can see there's the head and the body. And here's the little feet, and...."

"Umm what's that? It sounds like another heartbeat...and is that another head?"I ask slightly alarmed.

"Oh my....sweetie you're having twins!"She says.

"Twins?!"Cami and I exclaim at the same time.

"Yup. Congratulations! And your due date will probably be earlier, probably February 14th, 2006." She says. Oh, My GOD! Twins?! This is...unbelievable.

"¡Oh, Dios míos!"Cami exclaims. The doctor wipes me down and hands me two pictures, ones a 4D of the twins and a regular.

"Okay make an appointment with the receptionist, for every month until you're thirty weeks along. You're twelve weeks now, and after thirty weeks you'll have appointments every two weeks, okay?"She says brightly.

"Yes ma'am."I say, nodding. She leaves out the room, Cami goes and makes the appointments while I get changed back into my clothes. The nurse takes my hospital gown.

"So what do you think?"Cami says once we're in the car.

"I think Mickey is going to be very surprised. And Javi too..."I say.

"You know I'm not sure Mickey will be that surprised. She's pretty smart at picking up these things. And looking back you did have cravings, you were always wanting something sweet."She says. I think I was in denial...like I knew it but refused to acknowledge it. Because how did I not see this big ass bulge?!

"Yeah you're right, I was just thinking that I must have been in denial. Like look at me, how do you NOT notice this?"I say pointing to my stomach.

"I think we all were."Cami says.

"You wanna go get a cupcake?"I ask. She rolls her eyes.

"Fine..."She says smiling, I do a little happy dance in my seat.

"Yay!"I say in a sing-song voice.

"You're like a big kid."She says as we pull into Just Baked®.

"So?"I say in a challenging tone. She laughs as we get out the car.

"Hi, Welcome to Just Baked®. How can I help you?"A perky counter girl says.

"Uh, can we get three peanut butter Oreo cupcakes, three red velvet and whatever else she says."I say to the girl. Her partner starts packaging them up.

"Um I want three fudge chocolate and three salted caramel."Cami says. The guy packages it up.

"That'll be $28.09."She says. I hand her twenty-eight dollars and quarter.

"Keep the change."I say taking the receipt and cupcakes. Cami holds the door open for me.

"Have a nice day!"They say as we walk out.

"Thanks, you too."Cami and I answer.

"So what are you gonna do?"Cami asks as we pull off towards home. I know she's asking me about Farrod.

"I don't know..."I say.

"Are you gonna tell Zeus about the twins?"She asks. Its funny to me she still calls him Black Zeus....I guess I'm the only person calling him Farrod...or the only person allowed.

"No...I should...yeah...No....ugh I don't know!"I say, frustrated. I start to cry.

"Aw sweetie, it's gonna be okay. Just breathe and relax."She says.

"Why am I crying?"I say, as more tears fall.

"Hormones."Cami answers stopping.

"Well hormones are stupid. Farrod is stupid. Everything is stupid!"I say loudly.

"Calm down. Stress isn't good for the babies."She says.

"Why did you stop?"I say wiping my tears and checking my face.

"Because we're here."She says. I look up, and sure enough we're parked out front. I notice Farrod's car in the driveway. My breath catches and my heart pounds...
