"Phoebe Thorne." a nurse called.
I got up and looked back at Steve.
"Come with me please?" I begged him.
He got up and we both walked to the back. The nurse led us to a room and opened the door.
"The doctor will be with you shortly." she said.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked Steve.
"What do you want to do?" he asked me.
"I wanna keep him or her. I want a chance to be a better mother than mine was."
"Okay. Then I'll support you."
The doctor came in and checked me out. She told me that everything was fine. After I was done we walked to the car.
"Where to?" Steve asked.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"Where do you stay now so I can take you back?"
I really didn't want to go back yet.
"Just bring me back to your house and I'll walk from there." I said.
"Phoebe." he started.
"I'll be fine. Trust me."
He sighed and started the car. I hope Braxton doesn't want to talk when I get home.

After we reached Steve's house I went straight to Braxton's. Lucky for me he didn't want to talk. Sooner or later I would be showing and I had to hide it. I was small so I knew I would show much sooner than other girls. I walked upstairs to my room and decided to look at that book Kailey had given me.
It taught me a lot of things I needed to know. I was reading about what to expect in my second trimester when my phone rang.
"Hello." I said answering it.
"Hi Phoebe it's Kailey. I was wondering do you want to come to the park with my little girl and me?" she said.
"Sure." I said.
"Okay meet you there."
She hung up and I got up. I was excited to go hang out with her. We talked on the phone but we never really hung out. I felt like she was an older sister. When I went back downstairs Braxton was asleep on the couch.
I walked to the park and saw Kailey sitting on a bench. I took a seat next to her.
"O. Hey you made it." she said noticing me.
"Yea. What's this cutie name?" I said looking in the stroller.
"Reyna."
"She's so adorable."
"Do you want to hold her?"
"Can I?"
"Your going to need practice. You are keeping your baby aren't you?"
"Yea."
I had to tell my mom. I know she didn't have to know because it didn't matter, but I wanted her to know.
"She's so light." I said.
Reyna just stared at me.
"Here." I said handing her back to Kailey.
"She's our little angel sent from heaven." Kailey said.
We chatted for a while and I headed home. Braxton was still watching tv in the living room.
"Hey." I said.
"O hey." he said sparing me a glance. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Doesn't matter."
"I'll order take out from a Chinese place."
I sat down next to him and watched tv. He was watching some movie that I couldn't follow the plot to. I think it's because I came in the middle of it. Braxton called the Chinese place and ordered a lot of food. I never understood how he could eat that much and still look the same.
Once I was done eating I went upstairs and got ready for bed. There was only one more day left before school started again. I wonder how I would deal with this pregnancy during school. They would probably call me a whore more now than ever. They only did that because they didn't know anything about me.
Why do people judge before getting to know the whole story? I didn't want to go back to school. I don't know if I could take it if everyone found out I was pregnant. I hated my life. I hated everything up until the moment I found out I was pregnant.
I hope my life only gets better from now on. The next seven months of my life are gonna be rough, but they're gonna be worth it. I really couldn't wait to be a mom. I fell asleep with that on my mind.
