Culturally Biased

"Does it say positive?"

"I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too."

He softly pulled away backing away to his car.

When he got in, he gave Brazil one last long smile before starting his car and driving away.

Brazil walked into the house and everyone looked at her sympathetically.

"You okay Brazil?" Daysia asked.

She found herself running upstairs.

Now while everyone thought this was for emotional reasons, it was once again, Brazil's needed to throw up...again.

"Miciah...can I talk to you?" Annick asked, already pulling her into the kitchen.

"Uh, what's the matter?"

"Did it ever occur to you that our friend might be pregnant?"

"No...it didn't. What makes you think that?"

"She's been throwing up...a lot."

"Should I ask her?"

"You can get her some tests."

"Aight. I'll go do that then."

As Miciah left, Annick sat down and sighed.

This would probably be the most stressful event that ever take place in Brazil's life considering the father of this baby is probably on a plane to New York at the moment.

But Annick still felt envy over her.

Most people would tell her that it's not big of a deal since there was adoption and such.

But the process of adoption was already hard enough for Annick.

Plus, ever since she was young, she's always wanted to go through the same thing her mom did.

She wanted to raise a baby that would grow up with her personality traits and physical traits.

But for now, she decided to shut herself up and stop complaining.

"I am not pregnant!" Brazil whisper yelled to Miciah.

"Just take the goddamn test if you're so confident." Miciah said, handing her the pharmacy bag.

Brazil rolled her eyes and snatched the bag.

"Fine."

She entered the bathroom, shutting the door while Miciah waited in anticipation.

"Does it say positive?" She asked after hearing a beep.

"Um..."

"It does, doesn't it?"

"It's just one test. I haven't taken all three yet."

"Well do that."

"I can't." She whined.

"Why not Brazil?"

"I don't have to go pee anymore."

"Ugh...I'll get you more water. Stay put."

Brazil sighed looking at the stick.

"Just one." She whispered to herself.

"Okay Brazil, last test. If this one won't convince you that you're pregnant, I don't know what will."

"I'm not."
