Chapter 22

Marcus had been out of the hospital for a week now and he was going to physical therapy to repair the muscles in his arm. School was dragging on and on I felt like I would never graduate. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that I knew I needed an education if I was going to keep my baby.

It was eight o'clock in the morning and I was going through all the new maternity clothes I had. For someone who was only six months pregnant I was pretty big. While I was in my closet trying to find something to wear there was a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in " I yelled

Shante walked into my room wearing this really cute halter and a even cuter skirt to match with a pair of strap up heels on. At that moment I envied her it would be a long time before I could wear something like that again.

I gave up on my search and plopped down on my bed.

"Good morning little moma how are you doing" Shante asked me as she sat down beside me.

"Bout as good as I'm gone be for a minute, damn had I known I wouldn't be able to find nothing cute to wear while I was pregnant I wouldn't have had sex in the first place. Ugh and on top of that I'm getting fat as hell I looking like a big ass whale " I said then sighed and laid back on all my fluffy pillows. I rubbed my extended stomach gently and thought about the little miracle growing in me.

"Shut that shit up and put this on then come on or we gone be late for school and I'll be damned if daddy yell it me again cause he find you in the bed sleep" she said as she took out a really cute outfit with a pair of matching flip flops. "Now bring ya ass" she said smiling while walking out the door before she had completely closed it she turned around and said "I'm hear to the end I always got yo back you know that right"

"Yea" I said "I know, I love you little sis" I said smiling

"I love you too, boo" she said "Now go get ya fat ass in the shower and get dressed, I'm bout to go make you something to eat" she said then left my room.

It took me thirty minutes to get ready we were still gone be late but I didn't care as long as I got there. I was looking in the mirror making sure that my clothes fell into place that's one thing I loved about Shante most she had a eye for fashion and knew exactly what would go with what. I looked at my face and almost cried. My nose had spread and my face wasn't as narrow as it use to be it was getting fatter.

I sighed "only four more months" I said to my self

I left the bathroom and got my cell phone and pocketbook of my dresser. While I was walking downstairs I could smell the bacon and pancakes my two favorite breakfast foods.

"Here" Shante said handing me a plate "You got to eat on the way cause we don't got time for you to eat now" she said while grabbing her car keys and walking out the door.

I quickly followed her after grabbing a cup of milk.

I got into the passenger seat of her brand new midnight blue Lexus that daddy had got her last week. As we were driving down the highway I completely scraped my plate clean I hadn't realized how hungry I really was. I then began drinking my milk.

"How do you just drink that shit straight " she said

"I don't know, I guess its part of being pregnant" I said and shrugged my shoulders

She frowned a little as I finished the last of my milk. We pulled into the parking lot and Shate parked in her favorite spot. Right beside her new boo Kenard. I was okay with it cause it was close to the door and I aint have to walk a long way.

As we go out of the car I saw Marcus running up to me with his arm in a sling. He still looked good though in his black label outfit and a pair of forces to match.

"Hey baby" he said while bending down to kiss my stomach "Hey Savannah" he said looking up smiling

"Well damn I thought I was yo baby I see I then been replaced though huh" I said pouting

"Girl you know you gone always be my number I was just talking directly to the baby this time" he said while putting his good arm around me.

"Yea sure" I said while we walked into the school together today was gone be another long ass bore I thought to myself and mentally sighed.
