" You excited as hell" ceej says while laughing
" So youn miss jay?" i ask.
Today is the day that they come back from vacation and jay an mari ain't wanna ride wit dey family. I been stayin wit ceej since dey left cause sum happened the night they left and ceej helped me. Plus my dads also went on vacation but dey comin back later today.
" Ofc i miss my baby but you over here jumpin up an down like you on a trampoline" he tells me
" Well excuse me for missin my nigga more den you miss yours but what you ain't finna do is rain on my parade" i tell him as i get some juice.
" I ain't rainin on nun. Im just sayin. What i do know is, soon as trell take his ass ta bed tn, im puttin my nigga ta sleep" he says
" From my experience wit niggas. Shrimps don't put niggas ta sleep" i say
" Luckily ion got one"
" Mhm sure"
" Youn needa be worried bout my dick. You needa worry bout if you gon mari's cause if im correct, yall aint fuck since his birthday and you've been going through withdrawals"
"Jaylin need ta close his damn mouth"
" I just guessed so actually you told me"
" I don't like you very much"
" I gave you a godson"
" Im 17. Im too young for one"
" You werent sayin that a few days ago so ion wanna hear it"
" Let's just go cause the longer we wait, the longer it takes to see my baby and best friend"
An hour later...
" If they don't hurry up den im eatin their sandwiches" i say
" You just had 2" ceej says
" and? bitch idgaf" i tell him
" I think you gon be the next dad" he rubs my stomach since im wearing a crop top and i slap his hand. " Ow"
" Don't wish that on me until im ready and dunkin donut breakfast sandwiches are amazing so shut up" I am pregnant but imma act like i ain't cause im not ready and ian sure if mari is either but i will tell him. i look up from dusting my pants and see them. " There they go"
We get out, i run an jump on mari, den kiss him.
" Mmm hi baby" He puts his bag down while giving me a kiss. " Youn even deserve a kiss but you still got one"
" Yea yea go put your bags in the car while i hug my momma" i get down, go over to his mom, and hug her. She hugs me back.
"I missed you" she says
" I missed you t-"
" Ok ok our turn" i turn around and see taytay, nya, zay, and xavi. They hug me super tight
" I love you guys but i need air" i give them a hug before they let go
" Aight 4 amigos, im tired and im the one driving so unless yall don't want food, i suggest you get in the car" armon says
" Bye mazi" dey give me another hug den go to the car.
" MAZI HURRY UP I WANNA LAY DOWN" jay yells
" SHUT UP" i go back to the car and get in den mari lays his head on me.
" Hm" mari hands me his sandwich. " ion want it"
" Thank you" i start to devour it
" Damn you ain't eat all day assum?" jay ask
" He already ate 2. In my opinion, he's pregnant" ceej tells him
" In my opinion, you keep saying that and your gonna get your finger cut off" i tell him.
" Nigga i know what the symptoms are. 2 of them are morning sickness and cravings which is what you've been having since his birthday" he tells me
" Only way to know this is to ask mari. Kamari did you or did you not pull out?" jay ask
" first 2 rounds yes but the other 3, i was drunk so ion remember" mari says
" Stop at cvs" ceej makes a left and pulls into the cvs parking lot. " Cmon mazi"
Me and jay get out den go inside. He grabs a basket den drags me to the pregnancy test.
" Hell no" i try to walk away but he pulls me back
" Im doin this fa you so get em" jay tells me
" I don't need to, i already know" i tell him
" And?" he ask
" Your getting another niece or nephew" he gets excited but calms down once he sees my facial expression
" What's wrong?" he ask
" What if he isn't ready? We just started dating, school just started, i don't have my own place to live, i don't even have a fucking car, im not ready my damn self. it's just-" he stops me from rambling by hugging me.
" Hey calm down. We'll figure it out but you do gotta tell him at some point. How far are you?"
" a week today"
" Alright well what you don't wanna do is wait till you finna have the baby. Since you still scared, just wait till you at least a month" he tells me
" Jay i haven't even told my parents cause yk damn well my dad and yo momma is the best of fuckin friends. So if i tell him, he'll tell her, and she'll tell mari. Plus i can't get to no appointment because i don't have no fuckin car and uber an lift is expensive" i tell him and he rubs my back.
" Nigga dat baby aint even a baby yet. It's the size of a pea. I will help you and just so yk, dat baby is my godson or goddaughter already" i chuckle. Just like mari, my dad, my pops, my grandma, and tae, jay can always help me calm down. Kiana, mia, and nia aint so good at it but dey will try.
" Now ik yo ass hungry so let's get some snacks"
" Ok but wait, if we'on buy a pregnancy test, dey gon know we lyin" i tell him
" Shit you right. Uhm we'll either add water or i'll pee on it" he says
"Ok" damn im really gon be a teen parent. I mean at least imma have support cause i know somebody who runs a daycare aka dray and everybody else either loves or has kids. I put 4 boxes in the basket den we go get some snacks.

Just stop cause youn work for nobody but yo damn self" he tells me
" What else imma do nigga? ian good at nun else" i say
" I've known you fa 10 years and at some point we both said we wanted ta do tattoos. I let you practice on me and i still got the mf. Only reason you got into the streets, actually the only reason We got into the streets is because of dray and dom. I stopped cause we ain't work for nobody. Ceej if you could do tattoos at 9 fuckin years old, you can do em at 19. Work at my shop wimme"

" Yes mazi?" she ask
" Is jay able ta get pregnant?" i ask
" How you figure dat out cause ian tell nobody" she says
" Momma!" jay says
" Aw shit. Listen i wanted to tell you but yo ugly ass daddy said not to because he thought you was gon be straight since you've always been wit females" she explains
" You still should've told me"
" Ik and im sorry" he hangs up
" Omfg" he says
" Aht no we ain't doin that. You can tell ceej cause yall been together long enough and already got a kid plus im pretty sure you basically live hea" i tell him. " We gon be 2 pregnant bsf's wit tall ass boyfriends. Im gon be the goddaddy of dis baby too and you gon be the goddaddy of mines plus we can annoy mari together"
" You right"
" Exactly so let's go" i open the door and pull him to ceej room den slap ceej chest. " Wake ya ass up"
" Ow! gahdamn nigga, wtf you do that f-" i give him the test. " You pregnant?"
" Yes and don't tell mari yet but im not the only one" i point to jay
" Yall serious?" he ask
" Yea" we explain everything
" how tf yall gon tell yall families?" Jay sits on his lap
" Im gon wait till i tell mari. I could either be 3 weeks, 2 weeks and 4days, or 1 week" i say
" Hollon, 3 weeks?" jay ask
" Yes jaylin. I told you dat we really started dating on the 4th and we fucked dat night. We told everybody that's when we started dating" i remind him
" Oh right. Ion remember the last time i had sex" he says
" Mari birthday but b4 dat, we had sex on the first so you could be 3 weeks too" ceej tells him
" 3 weeks and 3 days"
" Let's just go see since mari went ta his house fa a lil"
At the doctors office...
" Hi nurse kelly" i say
" Hey mazi, You broke up wit mari already?" she ask
" No!" me ceej and jay tell her
" Im still very much wit mari. This is ceej. He's jay's boyfriend" i tell her
" Oh. Well where's mari?" she ask
" He'on know yet. Imma tell him soon though" i lay down
" I got one question. Since dey pregnant, do they grow titties?" ceej ask
" No" she tells him with a chuckle. " This will be cold but only for a second"
She puts the gel on my stomach and moves the wand jawn around my stomach.
" It ain't cold" i tell her.
" People usually say it's cold but ig not for everybody and here's your baby" she turns the monitor and points to it.
" Dat jawn small" jay says
" Well it has to grow dumbass" i say
" All i know is i need a nephew" ceej tells me and pokes my stomach. I slap his hand, " Dats yo second time. Do it again and imma slap you"
" Shut up ghetto and ratchet" jay tells us
" Do you want photos?" kelly ask and i nod. She wipes the stuff off, prints the photos, den gives em to me.
" I know exactly how ta tell him now" i get down and jay gets up dea. He lifts his shirt up.
" Yall must work out a lot" she says
" Sometimes" jay tells her and she does the same thing she did ta me.
" When do we gotta come back?" i ask
" Every 4 weeks until your 28 weeks. After that, every 2 weeks till your 36 weeks " she tells me. " Yall gon have weird cravings like ice cream and pickles"
" Im allergic to pickles" i tell her
" That's just an example but if you do get it, i would recommend a mcflurry and nuggets" she says
" He already eat dat" jay tells her
" I do too. Do yall drink?" we nod. " Don't do that while pregnant because it increases the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and your baby having a low birthweight"
" What about smoking?" ceej ask
" They can't smoke but you can, just not around them and if you smoke after yo baby is born den wash up or change before you hold that baby" she explains to him

Also everybody knows jay can get pregnant.
" CAN YALL STFU DAMN" ceej yells and everybody gets quiet.

" Is it food?" taytay ask
" No" jay tells him
" So what's the point?" xavi ask
" Shut up fat ass and fat ass number 2" we give everybody a shoe box. " Open em in 1...2....3"
Everybody opens it and regina an my grandma immediately start yellin and praise dancing together. I cant help but laugh.
" You serious?" my dad ask

"We both not ready tho" mari says
"Mentally we not but physically we kinda are. We gon get through it" i give him a kiss.
"So mazi movin it wit mari?" xavi ask
" No"
"Huh?" everybody ask
"Ion wanna move in just yet but i will at some point" i tell them
"Move in before the baby is born cause it might keep you up all night" my grandma tells me
" I know grandma" i say
" Name it after me if it's a girl" nya whispers in my ear
"I might" i tell her
" We really havin a baby" mari mumbles
" Yup and you gon be a daddy" he looks at me and pulls me over the couch den gives me a kiss. I kiss back as i laugh.
" Why so many people here?" shonie ask as him, lia, and trell walk in from the guest bedroom.
" You and lia cmere" dey walk over to me and i pick them up. " Im pregnant"
" What dat mean?" lia ask
" It's a baby in his belly" shonie tells her

" Try it" mazi says
" Nope" i tell him and he shoves the nugget in my mouth. We went to mcdonalds because jay and mazi got hungry an the only thing mazi wanted was 20pcs nugget and a oreo mcflurry.
He put some of it on the nugget and shoved it in my mouth. We just sittin in the parkin lot cause it's still people at my house and ian spending damn near 2,000 dollars on mcdonalds for them mfs. I will get da kids sum though.
" Spit it out and your gettin banned from touching my stomach" he tells me. I chew it den swallow. Ngl it was good
" What it taste like?" ceej ask
" Ian gon lie, it was good" i tell him
" I told you" mazi says
" Im glad it's finna be hoodie season cause my stomach gon be big asfc and ion got time fa fat jokes" jay says
" Every season is hoodie season fa you" i say
" I know. It's only cause dey comfortable and keep you warm plus dey look good wit a lot of outfits an easy ta steal" he explains
" Let's talk about that. Why tf do yall steal our hoodies" ceej ask
" I need ta know dat too" i tell them
" Because yall taller and oversized hoodies are the best hoodies" mazi tells us
" Plus if we miss yall den all we gotta do is wear your hoodie cause it'll smell like you and feel like you right dea" jay explains more
" Just call" i say
" Oh imma call you but i wanna smell you too" mazi tells me
"I can come getchu. All you gotta do is text me" ceej tells jay
" I know but you are my pillow that i cannot have all throughout the day except for weekends. Your hoodie is my personal cover that i can have all throughout the day so it's better" jay explains to him
" exactly" mazi agrees
" You sayin that but ziggy, can hoodies handle your sexual needs? rub your stomach when it's hurting? be your personal chiropractor? give you kisses? give you massages? buy you food when you don't want school lunch? give you free tattoos? tell you how good you look? help you babysit yo siblings when you tired? Does not have you pay gas money after riding in the car for hours? stay on the phone witchu all night? take you on dates? help you wit bruises? or let's you lay on em even if you hot?" i ask and he gets quiet
" Same questions go fa you baby" ceej tells jay and jay continues to eat his sandwich in silence
" So ceej, basically we better den our hoodies, they just don't wanna admit we right" ceej nods
" You not" i hear mazi mumble so i grab his face and lick my lips
" Say dat louder" i tell him and he shakes his head.
" No talkin = you get the opposite of everything he just said" ceej says
" Ok yall right damn" jay says but mazi stays quiet
" Talk or no dick in ya stomach" i whisper in mazi ear
" Fine you right" mazi tells me
" I know" He hands me his empty mcflurry cup. " What imma do wit dis?"
" I want 2 more and more nuggets" he says in a whiney tone
" I'a brb" i give him a kiss, get out da car, go inside, and walk up to the register. " well if it ain't lil kiki at ha second job"
" Shut up. Mazi wants his usual?" kiana ask
" You already know" i pay her 14.78
" He told you?" i nod. " You ready ta be a dad?"
" I mean i helped raise 6 siblings so it ain't gon be hard" i tell her
"But now it's yo child and mazi gon have ppd which is serious" she tells me
" and mazi gon beat my ass if he'on get his food" my mood switches fast when people tell me shit i already know. Smb brings the stuff from the back. I ordered 3 extra drinks and it took 2 mins ta come. I grabbed the stuff and went back to the car. I gave mazi his stuff, jay a high-c orange, put the other one in the cup holder, and drunk mines.
" You fucked up" ceej tells me
" Ho-" mazi slaps the shit outta me. " Wtf!"
" Who tf is aiyana!?!" mazi shouts
" She's-" he slaps me again. It's his anger issues and hormones that's makin him act like dis plus his trust issues. I put my drink down and grab his hands. " Calm tf down! she's my step cousin"
" SO WHY TF SHE SENDIN YOU PICTURES OF HER DAMN BODY AND A PICTURE WIT YO NAME ON HER PUSSY?"
" Damn" i look at jay and he looks away while drinkin his juice.
" Can i explain withou you trynna hit me?" i ask
" 20 fuckin seconds" mazi tells me
" Like i said, she my step cousin and she be on that incest shit. If you looked at the messages, only time she got a text was if my step mom-" he tries to get out my grip but i don't let him. " Stop. She only got texts if my stepmom texted her from my phone since hers would be dead"
" You still didn't answer my question. Why tf does she have your name tatted on her fucking pussy?"
" I didn't know she had it till you told me. I don't even talk to dat guh. She 16" i tell him
" 16?!" dey ask
