***Aaliyah’s POV***
A couple Mondays after that was the day of my mother’s ultrasound so we drove up to Centralia to see our parents and it’s actually not that bad of a drive it’s not as far as it seemed the first time we drove out there. Once we got there my mom came out of the house you could defiantly see her baby bump now especially since she was a thin little thing. “Aww momma look at you how are you and the baby doin?” “Were doin good I can’t wait to find out what I’m having and I’m really glad you guys came up here for the ultrasound, your dad should be pulling up shortly.” “You know it’s no big deal I can’t wait either I wanna know if ima have another sister or a little brother what do you want mom?” “well I really don’t care I just want them to be healthy and strong and hurry up and come out” she said laughing “yea I hear you on that but hang in there it’ll be that time before you know it” my dad then pulled up me and mya ran to the car after he parked it and we both squeezed the crap outta him “hi daddy i missed you” we said at the same time. “Hey gurls I’ve missed you too you three about ready to head out?” “Yea here we come” momma said. We all piled into the car and headed down to the doctor’s office. I was so impatient waiting in the lobby I was ready to find out what they were having. “Trina Johnson” the nurse said when she came out of the door. I jumped up and said “yay its time” we all went into the dark room with the ultrasound monitor and waited while the nurse put that gel stuff all over mommas tummy. After a couple minutes the nurse pointed out the head, hand, feet, spine, and then announced “Your having a” she paused the suspense was killing me “Wut is it Wut is it” I sounded like a 5 yr old “it’s a BOY” me and Amaya looked at each other then started jumping up and down hugging each other “Yay were gonna have a brother” we shouted. We then turned to mom who was looking at dad smiling and said “Congratulations! now we can throw you a baby shower in a couple months I’m so excited.” After we left the hospital dad took all of us out to eat at Cinzetis a really good Italian restaurant to celebrate. We all had a good time but it was around 8pm and was time for us to head home even though we weren’t ready Amaya had school in the morning. Once we got home around 9 I went in my room and put on a tight fitting black dress and my what some people would call my hooker heels, then threw on some accessories then headed out to a party one of my friends was throwing while Amaya took a shower set her clothes out for the next day and went to bed, but of course she called and talked to her boo thang first.

Chapter 3

About a month went by and everything between me, Darrel, Amaya and Tyrek were going good we both had good healthy relationships. Darrel finally made it official so we are actually boyfriend/girlfriend now. He didn’t want to get into a committed relationship with me at first because he didn’t want to hurt me he still had a lil hoe in him before but I guess he was ready to give up all the extra pussy he had been getting and start a relationship with me. The fact that he waited to be in a relationship with me actually was a good thing because it made me realize how much he truly cared for me. The boys have been staying the night here and helping out around the house.
Darrel and I were straightening things up before my parents came up for a visit to meet Tyrek and hang out when he stopped me and looked me in my eyes and said “Baby we been messin around for like 6 or 7 years now and now that we are officially a couple I think it’s time for me and you to get a place of our own then maybe Tyrek can move in here with your sis what do you think?” I was kinda speechless I was not expecting that at all and I replied “Really baby you mean it I would love living with you but I don’t know how my sisters gonna feel about that I mean my parents moved away from us a couple months ago and I don’t want her to think every ones leaving her.” “I know baby I kinda had a feeling you would be worried about her that’s why I said Tyrek could come stay here, and honestly you are 20 yrs old and sooner or later you’re gonna end up moving out you have your own life to live and so does she, she may not like it at first but shell come around plus we can move right down the street like maybe a block down I seen a house there that was for sale the other day” “ yea I know it would happen sooner or later I was just expecting later ya know but I will talk to her when our parents leave so she’s not upset when they come hopefully shell be ok with it.”
I heard a car pulling up so I looked out the window and it was my parents I seen my dad help my mom outta the car and watched her waddle up to the door it was kinda funny. “Are you sure I shoulda stayed while your parents came to visit you know they don’t really like me?” “Yes I’m sure I mean sooner or later they are gonna have to get used to you especially since we r gonna move in together, just be on your best behavior” I said acting like his parent and laughing at the same time. “You silly gurl n you already know I will even though they don’t like me I love you so I’ll do whatever to make you happy baby” then he kissed me “Aww your such a sweet heart I love you too.” See my parents didn’t really care for Darrel because he worked out in the streets dealing drugs and he’s been in and out of jail and they don’t think he’s good enough for me. Even though they don’t like him they are always nice to him and I think they see how much he makes me happy.
Knock, knock, knock, “ok here goes I wonder where Mya and Tyrek are they need at hurry up” I said to Darrel “I’m sure they will-” he didn’t even get to finish his sentence when they came pulling into the driveway. I opened the door for my parents and they came in and each of them gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek. “How’s everything going you doin ok mom?” “We are doing good the baby keeps kickin the crap outta me though how bout you guys how r u?” “Were doin good me and Darrel are together now” I say as I pull him close to me. “Hello Mr and Mrs Johnson how are you and the baby doin?” “Good” my mom said “Were fine but I overheard you guys are together now you better make sure you take good care of my daughter she means the world to me and if anything happens to her well I’m sure u know the rest” my dad said serious but playful at the same time “oh you don’t have to worry about anything sir your daughter is in good hands with me.” “Well I hope so cause I don’t wanna have ta hurt you” he said playfully but serious agian. Amaya and Tyrek walked in I thought to myself finally he can get off Darrel’s case. “Hey baby how u been” they both asked her “hey mom hey dad how r you?” “Were good how’s school going for you?” “Good can’t wait to graduate though so when you want us to throw your baby shower momma?” “ Whenever you want to baby it’s up to you guys” “Ok well me and liyah will have to talk about it we only got like 2 or 3 more months left.” “Mom dad this is Tyrek we met at school a few months back” while they said their hellos and interrogated Tyrek me and Darrel were in the kitchen making dinner for everyone. The mashed potatoes and Salisbury steak were almost done when I saw Amaya run through the hallway and into the bathroom “You got this for a sec babe I need to go check on mya?” “Yea boo I got it” I went down the hall and knocked on the door “You ok” mya opened it a little and I slipped through “You ok sis?” “Yea I’m ok I just got really nauseas all of a sudden I feel a lil better now but my stomach still kinda hurts” “Well do you feel like eating or do you just wanna lay down?” “I think ima just gonna lay down after I say bye to mom and dad” “ ok” I walked back out into the living room and let mom and dad know mya won’t be eating dinner with us cause she’s not feeling good and they went back and said bye to her. We all gathered in the kitchen and ate dinner. As we ate mom and dad got to know Tyrek a lil more they really liked him which is always a good thing. Once everyone was done we said goodbye and me Tyrek and Darrel all cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. “Well Ima go check on mya” tyrek said “ok” me and Darrel said in unison. Tyrek went back to her room but she was asleep so he juts stripped down to his boxers and laid down with her.
The next day I wake up to Mya puking again. “Mya are you ok?” I asked “Yea im fine?” I went into the bathroom “Are you sure cause I’ve never seen you like this” “I know my stomach has been feeling weird the past couple of days” “Have you missed your period?” “I haven’t gotten it yet I should have started like 2 days ago” “Mya I think-“she cut me off “please don’t say what I think you’re gonna say” “pregnant” I said finishing my statement. “Oh my god what am I gonna do?” she said with a scared look in her face “Well first off sis we need
