Author's Note: I sped up her time in pregnancy because there wasn't much to write in between then just so everyone knows. I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter 21: Sex

From Bianca

Dear Vince,

I'm 7 months pregnant now :) And the doctors have been saying that the baby is really healthy which is kind of a shocker after everything I've gone through. So how are you? Will you ever get out of jail? Anyways, today is pretty exciting. Though I'm at school right now, after-school, I'm going to find out the sex of the baby. In the next letter, I'll let you know. My aunt wants to invite a few of my relatives over and have a little gathering so that my relatives can find out the sex of the baby. I know it's going to become a beautiful baby. And I feel like throughout everything that's gone bad in my life, my baby might just bring some good into it. Or, I guess, our baby? I know I don't have the money for it but maybe-

"Bianca!" She hears someone call, forcing her head to snap up. She looks up to see that it's her history teacher, Dom.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did the bell ring?" Bianca asks, noticing that everyone was starting to leave.

He raises an eyebrow at her, "Yeah it did. You better get to your next class."

Bianca nods, and gets up. She's been so consumed in her letter lately. She has to admit, writing to Vince kind of makes her feel...happy. She's always thought of him as a monster, but maybe he really has changed. Everything seems to go by so fast while she's at school. When the bell rings, and dance ends, the teacher calls Bianca back, and asks if she has a second.

"Bianca...hey." She says, not even bothering to look her way.

"Is there something wrong?" Bianca asks, noticing the tone in her voice.

She shakes her head, then sighs, "Now you know that I think you are amazingly gifted but-"

"But what?" Bianca interrupts.

"But the scholarship is for, a different kind of people." She says, rubbing her forehead.

Her heart races, "And what do you mean by that?"

"I just don't know, if you're the right one for the scholarship sweets." She says in a nonchalant tone as she grabs her clipboard.

"You know..." Bianca says in almost a whisper, "You're taking away my scholarship because I'm pregnant." Bianca says, angrily staring at her teacher. She shifts her feet awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I was going to tell you after graduation. I also think that you should stay off your feet for the rest of the year. Look Bianca-"

"No, don't fucking tell me sorry because I know you're not. You knew I was pregnant before this. I mean everyone was suspecting when I was like 2 months pregnant. And I wasn't trying to hide it. Why now?" Bianca says, her arms crossed.

Silence. Bianca hits the clipboard out of her teachers hand.

"Bianca!" She shrieks.

"Unbelievable." Bianca mutters, making her way out the room.


Bianca runs to her room, noticing her aunt isn't there. She huffs, trying not to cry. She just can't believe this. Her future is ruined. All she ever wanted to do was dance. Why did this have to happen?

"God...I don't understand. Why? Why is this happening? I'm trying my best here!" She screams to herself.

She rubs her tummy, thinking of the baby. What's she going to do now? She eyes her letter to Vince and she grabs it, crushing the paper and throwing it into a near by trashcan. She starts writing a new one when her aunt calls her on the phone. She picks it up, "Yes tia?"

"I'm outside waiting. Come on, today's the day that I know you've been waiting for." Her aunt says happily.

But now, she can't even be happy. She gets off her bed, not bothering to change her uniform as she walks out the door. She locks it, then gets in the car.


At the doctors office, Juliana politely tries to chat with her niece but she notices that she's not in the mood.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

Bianca lets out a bitter chuckle, "Turns out my teacher is not going to give me the scholarship and send me to the program at all."

Juliana takes a few seconds before telling her she's sorry. Even though she never wanted her to go she does feel bad knowing that this is Bianca's dream and it has been taken from her because of this. But then again, that's just one of the few prices you pay. When Bianca doesn't say anything, she pats her on the back, "Honey, there are other dace schools, and you have time ok? Maybe you should focus on you know, a real job?"

Bianca scoffs,"A real job? And what's that supposed to mean? You don't take my dancing seriously?"

Before either one of them can say anything, a nurse opens the door, "Bianca De'Sousa?"

She tires to smile as she gets up and walks over to the nurse. Her aunt remains seated, knowing that Bianca wants her to be surprised when she tells her the sex of the baby. The nurse gives her a toothy grin, she's a short, chubby lady, with white skin and red hair. She leads her into the room and she takes a seat on the icy cold chair as Leia finishes up some typing.

"Nice to see you again Bianca. How have you been feeling?" Mrs. Chang asks.

"I've had my better days, but for the most part I've been really good." She replies, and the doctor smiles at her. Laia Chang is actually a really sweet girl and Bianca often talks to her during their check ups. The thing she likes the most is that she used to be a ballet dancer, but since there's a required age limit for when you should stop, she went back and got a degree and became a doctor (which took forever). She's now married with kids.

"I'm ready to find out the sex of the baby." She tells her, and Leia chuckles, "Finally."

Bianca knows that she could have gotten her ultra sound and found out the sex of the baby a little early than this, but she's been busy with school, and this is the earliest time for her to schedule the appointment.

After the ultra sound, she smiles at her baby. Her beautiful healthy baby. She almost tears up at the thought.

"Congratulations on a beautiful healthy-"

Ok that's it! Stay tuned for the next chapter...No, I'm just playing around. Rewind!


"Congratulations on a beautiful baby girl." She smiles at Bianca, and Bianca can't help but cry tears of joy.
