"Hol' up.. What the fuck is that?" I asked Dr. Houston, as I laid back watching her get some sort of jelly looking shit. Corahn shot a glare my way.
"Excuse her Doc. She doesn't know how to shut up sometimes." Corahn Said. Dr. Houston chuckled and nodded.
"It's Okay, I don't mind." Dr. Houston assured.
"Good, So what is that shit?" I asked again.
"it's just a gel used for ultrasounds Ms. Lee. That's all."
"Oh, Alright then." I said. She came and put some of it on my stomach. It Felt nasty as fuck. And it was cold.
"You ain't ever seen this done? Or heard of it? I seen this shit in movies." Corahn laughed.
"Well not me." I said as I looked at the screen the doctor was looking at. It kinda amazes me how this ultrasound shit works. If I weren't so busy looking for shit on the screen, I'd probably be asking about all this damn equippment.
"You see that?" She asked pointing to a spot on the screen.
"That glob?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
"That's the baby," she said sending me a small smile.
"Wow, just think at a point of time we were all globs." Corahn said causing us all to laugh.
"It won't be a glob for long, you're only 4 weeks, you might as well say you're a month pregnant Ms. Lee."
"So is it okay?"
"Right now, yes."
"So me not gaining weight didn't affect the baby? Or me exercising?" The doctor shook her head.
"If you don't gain 2 to 4 pounds during your first three months, then you should be concerned. And after those three months, the average woman gains a pound a week. The baby is healthy." She said. I sighed in relief and wiped imaginary sweat off my forehead.
"So I'm good to go?"
"After I tell you this. You don't need to stress while pregnant. It isn't healthy for you or the baby."
"What I tell you?" Corahn asked with a smirk.
"Also, avoid drugs and alcohol obviously. I'll give you a list of things you shouldn't do or eat and drink while pregnant also."
"Thanks, I appreciate it." I said.
"I'll also be writing you a prescription for your prenatal vitamins."
"Okay." I honestly don't wanna swallow them big ass vitamins, but it ain't for me it's for my baby. He or she better be lucky I care.

"Sup Ri?" Mr Ju asked as he pushed my head lightly and sat next to me on the couch. He'd given me the nickname Ri soon as he met me. I don't like it, but I allow him to call me that since I gave him a nickname too.
"Wassup?" I asked.
"So, you got a little one on the way huh?" He asked with a smile. I nodded.
"I just wanna let you know that I don't think you should be living alone right now. I don't mind you and your baby being here, I like kids. And I think you could use me and corahns help. I mean if you really wanna go ahead and get your own place, then okay. I'm just throwing out a idea." He said.
"To be honest Mr. Ju, I don't really know what purpose I have in California since I can't play basketball. Like what's the point?" I said sitting further back on the couch.
