"How you feel?" Niyah asked walkin in with some water
"I'm good now." I stood back up from the toilet brushin my teeth for the hundredth time
"I feel bad for you." She said handing me my water and pill
I took it swallowing it with my water
"Eh I did this to myself." I shrugged layin back on my bed
"I mean yeah..."
I glared at her
"Shut the fuck up."
"Well you wanna go out with us to the mall today?"
"Who all goin?" I asked puttin my attention on her
"What you mean? The same people we always hang around. Yo baby daddy gone be there too." She said lookin at herself in her phone camera
"I haven't talk to him since I told him happy birthday." I sighed
"What? I thought everything was straight?" She asked confused
"I thought so too but we haven't talked since my doctors appointment and he never responded when I texted him."
"That nigga." She rolled her eyes
"Well if I tell you what I'm about to don't get mad." She hesitated
"What?" I sat up from my layin position
"Welll when I went to see dd the other day ddot was there right. He was with some girl I don't know who." She mumbled
I looked away from her
"Oh." I whispered
"Look forget him remember but that is crazy y'all got a baby together that's on the way." She stood up sitting next to me on the bed
"Yeah I mean we're not together but like all dis still fresh you know?" I mumbled
"Yeah." She rubbed my arm up and down
"I'll go with y'all today maybe it'll help me get my mind off things. I'll buy some clothes for the baby." I smiled
"Girl you don't know the gender yet."
"So? They got unisex outfits." I looked at her crazy
"Mhm I guess. Go ahead and get ready we leave soon." She stood up walkin towards the door

"What store yall tryna go to?" dd asked us
"Nigga we don't all gotta go to the same store." Notti said
Me, Niyah, dd, Notti, ddot and some girl
Came out to the mall to shop
"I was just askin?" He mugged
"Well I did want to shop a little for the baby." I added
"It's still crazy you havin a baby dat young." The bitch ddot brought laughed
"Yo Amari chill." ddot pulled on her arm
"What? I was just sayin we still damn kids."
"I don't think that's any of your business." I finally spoke up
"Girl I was just sayin no need to do all dat." She mugged
"Why you actin like the baby father ain't standin next to yo ass." Niyah said slappin her arm by her side
"Yeah get on to him if you gone say somethin to me it's as much as his fault than it is mine."
"It takes two to tango." I said
"Yeah whatever." She mumbled
"Alright well we can split up and meet back at da food court." dd said
"Yeah dats cool." I said
"Uh I'll go with you Lani." ddot said
I rolled my eyes
"Why?"
"So we can talk." He mumbled
"I guess." I turned the other way walkin off
"Amari stay with them alright so I can talk to her." He said to her
He started walkin next to me as I looked around for some stores
"What you wanna get for the baby?" He asked breaking the silence
"Probably just small little stuff since we don't know the gender yet."
We walked into a store and I started lookin around for stuff
"She a friend." He spoke
"Huh" I stopped what I was doin lookin up at him
"She my mom friend daughter." He said
"They've been stayin with us for a little and I gotta watch her."
I chuckled
"How old is she?"
"The same age as us but I still gotta include her with my activities ." He started lookin at things with me
"What you tellin me this for?"
"So you wouldn't get the wrong idea. I don't want nobody else. I want you still." He looked up at me
I sighed
"Well thanks for tellin me but that doesn't explain why you haven't spoken to me or responded to my text."
"Ohhh bout that." He rubbed the back of his neck
"Well I got into some trouble with my moms and she snatched my phone up and the day of my birthday I went out with them niggas and I was messed up.
"I just really forgot I'm sorry."
"You could've came by or somethin." I whispered
"Yeah I know but really I just wanted time you know. This whole situation is just still gettin to me." He mumbled
"Yeah I understand."
I stared chuckling a bit
"What's funny."
"Gettin your phone taken at our age is crazy." I laughed
"And you finna have a child."
He mugged me
"I mean we still kids of course I still get in trouble."
"Yeah I know im just foolin with you." I smiled
He smiled back
" I love you Lani I really do and I hope one day I can make it up to you." He grabbed my hand
I stared at him
"You will. Of course I love you too. You just hurt me."
"I know and again im sorry. So sorry." He mumbled
I leaned forward pecking his lips
"It's okay just prove to me you wouldn't do somethin like dat again." I weakly smiled
"Of course."

"No we had a certain time to be down here and y'all ten minutes late. What was y'all doin fuckin?"
"dd shut the hell up." I looked at him crazy
"We here ain't we."
"Whatever." He mumbled takin a bite out his food
"What all you get for the baby?" Niyah asked
"I just got some basic stuff like pacifier's, socks and some little onesies." I stabbed my fork in my salad munchin on a bite
"Mhm what you think you gone have?" Notti asked
"I really don't know maybe a boy." I shrugged
"Oh hell nah not a another nappy ass ddot." dd dramatically whined
ddot threw a fry at him
"Nigga fuck you."
"But really I just have a feelin." I said
"You ain't embarrassed?"
"Excuse me?"
"You ain't embarrassed to be havin a baby?" Amari asked
"Why you always got somethin to say little girl." Niyah said
"I mean I would be." She shrugged eating her pizza
"Again it's none of yo fuckin business as to what I got goin on okay?" I said pointing my finger at her
"Yo Amari just chill bro. When you and yo sorry ass mama leavin my house." ddot groaned
"Why you gettin mad at me? I'm just sayin facts." She said
