Falling

Gabriel's POV

Today was all about me and Nia. She hadn't said anything, but lately we hadn't done much and I didn't want her to start feeling like I was ignoring her.

"Wake up," I shook her gently. She rolled her eyes and turned over, mumbling under her breath.

"Shhh and go get in the shower," I pushed her. She didn't budge so I stood up on the bed and started jumping up and down.

"Wake! Up! Wake! Up!" I yelled every time I landed on the bed. She finally got up and ran into the bathroom.

"Thanks, Boo!" I smiled to myself as I sat down on the bed. Instead of hearing the shower I heard her throwing up over the toilet.

"Oh man," I mumbled as I walked into the bathroom,"You good?"

"No," she cried as she emptied her stomach," I've been doing this since Wednesday."

"And did you get a te-"

"No, because I'm scared. I can't be pregnant, Gabby. Me and Danny-We...I just can't."

"Aw, Boo," I sat next to her on the ground,"Everything's gonna be alright, but we have to check."

"My parents would hate me," she groaned, covering her face.

"Not as much as mine would."

"It's just your dad," she smiled," He's just overprotective is all."

"Same with you," I nudged her gently.

"I guess," she sighed. That made me start thinking of how I would introduce Donte to my parents. Wait, we weren't even together yet... Were we? Man, it's complicated I guess.

"But come on," I grabbed her hand, pulling her up," Get ready because we're having fun today, pregnant or not."

"Ugh, okay, okay," she whined, slamming the door so she could shower. I sat down on her bed, watching tv when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

"What you doing, babygirl?"

My cheeks blushed and I tried not to smile so hard.

"Watching tv while Nia's in the shower."

"Come and see me, Ma."

"I can't Donte. We have a whole bunch of stuff planned today."

Instead of replying he called me. My heart skipped a beat and I answered after a few rings.

"Yes?"

"I'ont like sharing you, G. Even if it is with cuzzo."

"Don't be like that," I felt my cheeks getting hot,"You can come over tonight."

"Can I?" He asked curiously. He must've just woken up because he had that sleepy voice and it took almost all of me not to go drive over there with him right now.

"Mhm I'll call you when I get back home, okay?"

"Ightt, babygirl. You better call me, too."

"I will, Donte. Is my baby okay?"

"Ya baby? Shit, I'm fine."

"Donte," I laughed," Really, how is he?"

"Right now, he's ugly af. But other than that, he's alive and well."

"Still sleeping?"

"Yea. He's perfectly fine and talking just as much shit as he was before."

"Ugh, I miss him," I groaned, trying to make him jealous.

"Didn't y'all just reunite a couple days ago? Damn," he smacked his lips,"Put on some sexy for ya boy later on, ightt?"

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes,"Bye."

I hung up before he could say anything else and laid on my stomach. Sage being in the hospital had brought so much stress on the both of us and finding out he was gonna be okay lifted everyone's spirits.

"Booooo," I heard Nia groan from the bathroom,"Can you pick me out something to wear, please and thank you!"

I rolled my eyes and walked into her closet.

"We're gonna go for the "I'm trying but I'm not really trying" look , alright?"

"Your so annoying,"she laughed.

"Shhhh, just leave it to your bestie to get you right," I smiled deviously as I went through her closet.

I ended up finding some casual dress that she wrapped a denim shirt around. She put on some converse and put her hair in a neat bun.

"You ready?" She questioned as she finished fixing her eyeliner.

"I've been waiting for you."

"Don't act like you didn't just get done, whore."

"Whatever,"I groaned over dramatically before opening the door. We didn't have anything planned, but we'd find something to get into.

"So?" She smiled deviously, looking at me from the passenger seat.

"So?"

"Tell me about you and Donte."

"We're...complicated?"

"And why is that?"

"Because he has so many double standards. And he's so bi polar. Like some days he's so nice and sweet and I just really like him. Then there's other days where he acts like such an asshole and then we argue and get all pissy with each other."

"Well you do have an attitude problem."

"Not all the time though. Like the other day he got mad at me because I wanted to go home after he was entertaining some girl who was all in his face. Why would that be my fault?"

"It's not."

"Exactly. And I'm not saying that he's always the root of our problems, because I'm annoying too, but he just picks and chooses when he wants to act right. Like a minute ago. He was being so cute on the phone."

"My babies," she laughed, pinching my cheek," But I know what you mean, Boo, talk to him about it."

"I was thinking about that, but I don't have time for him to get all pissy with me."

"Just don't come at cuzzo reckless and everything should be fine."

I laughed. They had started this "cuzzo" thing a couple weeks ago and it was honestly too cute. They actually were cousins when you thought about it.

"You right, you right."
