Chapter 18

It had been two weeks since Ciara had died. We learned that she had overdosed on sleeping pills. The main reason was most likely because of the break up that had occurred between her and Lamont. After a while though every thing kind of went back to normal except for the whole me being pregnant thing.

Today I had my first doctors appointment to be sure that I was pregnant. Marcus was going with me he wanted to know if everything was alright with the baby. He was being kind of overprotective of me since he found out I was having his baby but in a way I kind of liked it.

I had just finished getting dressed when the phone rang.

"Hello"

"Come on we got to hurry up and get there or your going to be late" Marcus said on the other end

"I coming damn" I said and hung up on him

My newly found sister knocked on my door.

"Honey is you ready cause this boy is about to get on my last damn nerves with all that beeping that damn horn and shit" Shante said on the other side

"Yea I'm ready " I said while opening the door

She stepped aside and I walked by her and out the door. Me and my parents still weren't speaking even though they knew about the baby I was still kind of pissed at them.

I got into the car and Marcus gave me this father like look.

"What?" I asked

"Young lady you are not only carrying your child but mines too and I would appreciate it if you would be ready when I get here next time that way I can get you to the doctor on time" he said father like

I laughed at him and he laughed too while pulling out of the driveway. I thought to myself how Marcus was going to make a great dad the whole way to the doctors office. When we got there Marcus started being all over protective again and helped me out of his car.

"You do realize that I am still capable of walking and getting out the car be myself I'm not all big as a whale yet" I said I was dreading the fact that I would eventually be getting fat.

"I know I'm just practicing for when you do get that big" he said

We walked to the elevator and rode it up to the third floor where I would be seeing a doctor named Mrs. Johnson. When we got to the waiting room I saw a bunch of older women who looked really pregnant. I mean I was pregnant but they were huge.

I looked over a Marcus and saw that he was trying not to laugh. We went over and sat in two empty chairs while we waited for my name to be called. Many of the women stared at me I guess it was because I was so young and already pregnant. We had been waiting for about 30 minutes when the doctor finally called me back
