Chapter 6
-La Boulai-
"Starr, it's been two weeks since you told me about… you know… and I really think it is time you tell your mom and Dorian, they can help you decide on what to do." Starr looks at Langston.
"I know what I am going to do. I am going to keep the baby." Just as the word baby comes out of Starr's mouth, Blair comes around the corner.
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you right. Did you just say you are pregnant at sixteen years old?" Before Starr can answer her mother, she watches her mom fall to the floor.
Blair wakes up a little bit later with both girls looking over her.
"Girls, I just had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamt that Starr told me that she was pregnant and that she was keeping the baby." Starr looks down at her feet. "Oh my God I wasn't dreaming was I?" Both girls nod their heads no. "What the hell were you thinking having unprotected sex or any sex for that matter at sixteen years old!?" Starr continues to look at her feet. "Can I assume then that this baby is Cole's?" Starr nods her head.
"I'm sorry mom it's just we thought we were never going to see each other again. I know what I did was wrong but I loved him and I would not take it back. This baby is the last thing I have that is a piece of Cole. I can't give it up. You have to understand." Blair hugs her daughter.
"I do but I have a big question for you. Are you ready?" Starr looks at Langston, confused. Langston shrugs and Starr nods her head yes to her mother. "Okay, does Dorian know about this yet?" From the silence she can tell that the answer to her question is no. "Well then since apparently she doesn't know, which one of us is going to tell her this joyous news?" Starr and Langston look at each other.
"Speak of the devil." Langston points to Dorian who just entered.
"God morning girls how was your night sleep?" Everyone just looks at Dorian as she sits. "Well don't all answer me at once."
"I slept great." Langston says and sits next to Dorian.
"Alright what is going on here? What did Todd do now?" Starr looks at her aunt with tearful eyes." Starr sweetie, is your father is bothering you again because if he is a I will kill him. Tell me what he did." Starr and Blair sit down. "It's not my dad aunt Dorian, it's me." Dorian looks at Starr.
"I'm pregnant." Starr closes her eyes and waits to hear her aunt yell at her but instead she feels her aunt's arms come around her in a warm embrace. "You're not mad at me about what is going on?" Dorian looks at Starr while trying to figure out a way to word her feelings just right.
"I am very disappointed in you and your situation but I love you anyway and I am glad I don't have to kill your father. I don't look good in orange."
