"I wish my hair on my head grew as fast as my coochie hair do." I sighed as I exited the bathroom and unwrapped the dry towel from around me.

"Yo—hey I see fat ma." Cameron extended his arm and placed his hand between my legs. "What you shaving for anyway? I'm not hungry."

"Boy move! And cause if this lady go down there to check on this baby, ion need her getting lost." I smacked his hand away, making me drop my underwear. 

"Look at you." He laughed as I stood there. "You need me to get them don't you?"

"Yes." 

"I can't hear you." He put his hand on his ear.

"Yes."

"I can't hear yo—"

"Getmypantiesoffthefloor!" I huffed and stomped my foot before he snatched em up and tossed them to me.

"Big ass." He smacked his lips. "Bae when you stomp yo titties jiggle."

"What they supposed to do?" I slid my panties on. "Be still?"

"No but they bounce—nevermind." He shook his head as I clamped my bra on.

"Right, just shut up."

"Don't get fucked up Janaee." He got off the bed and went to the drawers. "What you finna wear?"

"Some jogging pants or something." He picked out a grey jogging fit and gave it to me. "Thanks pookie." I kissed him on the lips.

"You welcome ma." He kissed me back as I slid the jogging pants on. "I'm ready I'm just finna go pee real quick."

"Okay." I put on a white tank top before putting on my grey jacket and zipping it up.

I go in the closet and look at the shoe boxes on the top shelf, deciding which ones I wanna wear. I was about to throw on my grey Uggs but then I remembered my grey crocs were in an old Nike box.

I stood on my tippy toes and grabbed the Nike box before walking over to the bed and sitting down so I could put my crocs on.

When I opened the box, I didn't see my crocs. I saw stacks and rolls of money.

i know this negro did not .

"Amir Coleman!" I heard him flush the toilet and wash his hands before coming out the bathroom.

"What bruh—"

"What the fuck is this?" I grabbed a stack out the box and held it in the air.

"Some money—"

"Where it come from Cameron?"

"Whatchu mean? That been there." He looked off to the side.

"All our money put up in accounts and you know that. Lie again."

"Oh, I took that out last wee—" He paused. "Hold up, why you looking through shit?"

"I was getting some shoes to put on and found this instead." 

"That's yo fault, you wasn't supposed to look in that box." He shook his head. "I mean, who wears crocs in the cold?"

"That's not the fucking point!" I threw the stack at him. "Where this money come from and don't lie to me!"

"Vell."

"Fuck you mean this came from Vell? Why the fuck is Vell still giving you money if you ain't doing shit for him Cameron?"

"I been selling bags for him." He shrugged and I scoffed.

"Didn't you tell me you was gon chill out on all that street shit?"

"Yeah bu—"

"Because of what? Huh? Why was you gon get out the streets? I wanna hear the reason." 

"Cause you and the baby—"

"Exactly! The baby that YOU wanted!" I walked up to him and pointed to his chest. "The baby that I told you WE wasn't ready for! The baby that YOU need to be here for but you won't be if you keep doing shit like this."

"You overreacting dawg, it ain't even all that serious." He waved me off. "All I did was sell a few bags, I'm not killing nobody, I'm not drinking lean, I'm not dong none of the shit I used to do. I do what I gotta do and come where? Here, straight home to you—"

"But what's gon happen when you don't? What typa predicament is that gon put me in?" I asked him. "I love you so much but I swear you piss me off the fucking most."

"Chill out bruh, ain't shit gon happen to me! I'm not going nowhere!" He grabbed my hands and I roughly snatched away from him.

"My thing is, why tell me you was gon stop if you knew you wasn't?" I slid my Uggs on since I couldn't find my crocs. "Why lie?"

"It wasn't a lie in the beginning man, I did stop for a while." He shook his head. "Just cause I started up again don't mean I never stopped. You making shit bigger than what it is."

"You sound dumb as fuck!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and a large pain shot up the side of my stomach.

I leaned back on the bed for support as another pain shot up a little lower than the first one did. Cameron rushed over to my side and tried to hold me but I pushed him away.

"Move, I'm fine." I huffed and waited for the pain to ease up a bit.

"You really doing too fucking much bruh."

"A girlfriend that loves and cares about her boyfriend, you hate to see it." 

The pains stopped so I snatched my keys off the dresser and put my coat on before walking downstairs.

"If you finna come then come on cause I'll be damned if you make me late for this appointment."

He mumbled something under his breath as he came downstairs and we walked out the door.

——————————

"Janaee Jones?" The nurse with the clipboard came out in the waiting room and called my name.

"Here." We stood up and grabbed our coats as she opened the door leading to the back and we follwed her.

"Hi, I'm your nurse Kathy." She smiled at us as we walked. "How are y'all doing today?"

"We're fine, and you?"

"I'm great, the snow is my biggest problem right now." She chuckled as we entered the room and she motioned for me to take a seat on the bed.

"Is this the baby's father?"

"Yeah." I said and Killa nodded his head as he took held our coats and took a seat in the available chair next to the bed.

"Alright, I'm just gonna take your vitals and the doctor should be in shortly."

"Okay." I gave her a small smile as she proceeded to take my vitals and record the results.

"Okay guys, have a great day and be careful on the road." She smiled at me once she finished before grabbing her clipboard and proceeding to exit the room.

"You too."

She left the room and the room fell silent.

"Janae—"

"Not now Cameron, not now." I shook my head. "Please do not talk to me."

A few minutes later, our doctor, Jamie, came in the room and greeted us.

"Hello, how are you guys today?" She sat on the stool and rolled it closer to the bed as she pulled out a stethoscope.

"Fine, and you?"

"I'm well." She put the ear pieces to the stethoscope in her ears. "How are you feeling?" She put the cold piece of metal against my stomach and I jumped a little.

"Okay, but before we came here I was having stomach pains."

"In what areas?" She moved the metal around, listening to different parts of my belly. 

"Here and here." I showed her where.

"I see." She put the stethoscope away. "And was this out the blue or did something trigger the pains?"

"I was yelling and they came but they didn't last for long."

"I know how hard it can be trying to stay calm but please try harder because any level of stress isn't good for the baby." She shook her head and I nodded mine.

"I know, I'm trying." I eyed Killa.

"That's all I need to hear." She smiled. "Let's see how far along you are." She rolled the stool over to the counter and picked up her clipboard.

"5 months." Me and Cameron said in unision and she put her clipboard back down and slimed at us.

"Alrighty then, you guys ready to hear your baby's heartbeat?"

"Yes ma'am." I smiled and she motioned for me to lay back on the bed.

She went over to a shelf and grabbed some gloves and some gel before grabbing blue napkin sheets.

"Can you lift your shirt please?"

I unzipped my jacket and rolled my tank top over my stomach while taking deep breaths. Cameron stood up from the chair and walked over to the other side of the bed before grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

"Don't." He said as I tried pulling my hand away.

Jamie squeezed the cold gel on my stomach before moving it around with the ultrasound scanner.

Weird noises filled the room as a picture appeared on the monitor.

"Now let's see where the baby is hiding." She moved the scanner some more but we still didn't hear anything.

"What's happening? Why isn't there a heartbeat?" I squeezed Cameron's hand and tears came down my face as I sat up, tryna figure out what's going on.

The doctor didn't answer me, she just kept moving the scanner around tryna find a heartbeat.

"Why isn't it beating?" 

"I-I don't know." She had a worried look on her face and my heart dropped.

"Whatchu mean you don't know?" Cameron asked. "You need more gel or some? The monitor broke?"

"Sir—"

"Why isn't my baby heartbeating?" I paused. "Where's the heartbeat?"

She moved the scanner some more and a few seconds later, the sound of a fast heartbeat filled the silent room.

"Thank God." I cried and let out a deep breath I didn't even know I was holding as Cameron rubbed my knuckles.

"We aight ma." He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it before wiping tears of his own.

"Is it supposed to be beating that fast?"

"Yes that's perfectly normal." She chuckled. "That just means your baby is very healthy."

"Okay." I sighed.

"Would you like to find out the gender?" 

"No." We answered in unision and she smiled.

"I love how in sync y'all are with each other." She said and Cameron's eyes instantly met with mine. 

"Thank you." I responded as she grabbed the blue napkin sheets and wiped the gel off my stomach.

"Your welcome." She finished wiping the gel off before taking her gloves off and disposing it all in the garabage. "What are y'all hoping for?"

"A boy." I sat up in the bed and rolled my tank top back down.

"A girl." 

"A girl?" I scrunched my face up. "Ain't nobody finna deal with all that."

"I will." He smiled. "I wanna babygirl."

"She gon have my attitude."

"Did I say a girl?" He scratched his head. "Cause I think I meant a boy." He said and the doctor laughed.

"Alright guys, just remember to take your prenatal pills and keep your stress level low." She grabbed her clipboard. "That wraps up this appointment, have a great day guys."

"You too." 

I zipped up my jacket and hopped off the bed as Killa passed me my coat and put his on.

"Come on." I grabbed my keys out my pocket and we walked out the door before heading home.
