Babies Are Blessings

Jade and Brie pose for the camera as it shutters in every angle they haven't even switched their position yet but it keeps shuttering, they were all in the shooting room after agreeing to the theme color as black one of Brie's favorite colors, it took hours to finalize everything, jade company deals on nails too so she added, it should be a kit that consists of a lash, lash clipper, press on black nail since the theme color is black, black eyeliner and mascara.

The shooting finished in a few hours, jade's mum was there taking notes of everything, and jade always cross-checked her shootings while they edited it after making sure everything was set she decide to get changed into something else.

Jade's outfit wasn't revealing Like the recent one she did with her fruity collection based on her pregnancy she decided to go with what covered her entire skin, they named the collection SHIMA, Jade dressed wearing a lace transparent veil attached with a straight lace transparent gown well one wound say her entire body was covered however not like what someone would imagine, she looked smoking hot in it.

"I think the name goes with it-

"I even wonder why would even be thought of naming it Jade & Brie collection Shima is so bonding" Brie cut in.

"The factory people promise to bring a sample before the day run out I suggested the mascara should be really small-

"Mum I have already seen it is perfect I think you deserve a raise-

Jade said,

"You deserve it" Brie cut in giving jade a tap,

"Congratulations mum-

Clinton walked in jade immediately hugged him kissing him softly he kissed her back hugging her so tightly.

"I freaked out the second your mum called me that you had a meeting with my mum yesterday how did it go," he asked still hugging her, jade didn't want to let go as well.

"We made up," she said getting out of his hug taking his hand, and smiling broadly.

"What!!!" They exist in the shooting room although the rest people were still in there taking care of things,

"Yes baby, she missed you honey is all over her face" she stopped on her track to say it, Clinton was frustrated looking at his girlfriend he missed his mum too even if he hurt her making it sound intentional that he loved her.

"I'm so glad both of you make up this is mature of you I love you-

"I love you too, so how are you are like a week babe," she said taking off her robe and getting in the shower.

"I am sorry, work!! How did the shooting go when is it launching-

"Three weeks from now before it drops, I was thinking to do most of my outstanding shoots before I get heavy on this pregnancy-

"Glad Is no longer freaking you out"

JADE POV

I used to watch teenage girls get pregnant either on their last day of high school, raped, or accidentally plus the whole experience I had with my parent devastated me.

I never thought getting pregnant ever going to be on my do list especially readings in my background it's a no-go area.

Motherhood scares me if the situation is to be reversed I'd think this baby will still stay with me because abortion wasn't an option for me at all, I always needed money to start up my life not to make babies.

Moving on I wasn't going to bargain or negotiate what type of father I needed for my kid I knew my dad was always there for me took me to get my first toys, my first park experience heard my first word, he took care of me.

I thought kelvin was going to be after how he treated me I don't think is suitable in as much as you don't love the mum you can't as much love the child perhaps he could love his child then I'm out of the picture, I want my baby to experience the love we the parent shared, I'm so thankful Clinton came into my life plus the amazing gift he gave to me making me a mom.

I think my dad is a cool dad I changed his life and perspective in life he quit most of the things my mom cried about all the time, I wasn't at the daycare until he was taken from me to prison not seeing my mum fighting for him breaks my heart now we cleared the air in less than a year he will be home to meet his grandbaby that alone makes me happy I want to share parenting with him I always watch him spoke to me, how tender he was with me, my mum most important things was making sure money was always there when I ran away she'd find me but I had to give her so much attitude and problems she doesn't come home some days it gets to a point the days she spent out were more than the days she spends at home bringing up so many excuses I knew I was the curse.

I grew up in a nasty neighborhood where they believed having a baby without resources is sort of breaking taboos, parents will strictly give warnings to their adolescent females to stay away from boys if in any way they got pregnant they would be thrown out of the house, my mom never said things like that to me but I heard our neighbors bring it up any given opportunity I knew the girls were getting tired of it.

It occurs one of the girls went for abortion with the whole talkie babies things she was so scared her parent wasn't going to accept the baby nor less accept her they make a big deal out of it why because they could barely feed themselves or meet up the rents landlord and tenants were always fighting every end of the month or the end of the year statistically the majority of them couldn't afford the rent even though it's split into three half of these occupants won't be able to meet.

most of them were intent with all the bills flowing in a perfect excuse to tell the landlord there is no money for rent but every evening you around one of the famous Kalahari women from rivers state who sells the most demanding dry gin, cigarettes, whatever that highs the soul then come home and beat the living daylights out of your wife scorning your daughters that if by any chance they have kids out of wedlock is their fault and shame will walk with them for the rest of their lives, aren't you ashamed drinking your life earnings at this kalabari woman cottage then come home and beat your wife like she's the reason you can't orbit your drinking sulking godforsaken habit, or aren't you ashamed owing landlord on and on but your daughter will walk with Shame over a baby, a blessing, a gift a woman should be proud of.

I still remember a girl we went to the same school but we don't take the same class, a faithfully mid-afternoon when the first period is over preparing for the next subject the teacher that happens to teach it, wasn't around so we have the period to ourselves, instead of using it to read one of the best novels or solve the maths that we couldn't catch up because the math teacher happens to be hotter than the subjects he teaches rather we spend it making a hell lot of noises in the classroom, girls exchanging their seats just to gossips or seat with their crush.

I'm, not a person that makes friends a lot I might seem very good at a conversation trust me the next day I will act like nothing happened or we didn't just talk a day ago.

To be honest I prefer doing my own thing especially as a girl that grew up alone without no siblings is hard to even want to care about anyone. After all, I didn't even care about my mother, when my neighbor asked me to come with her to somewhere I didn't hesitate because I knew her and we lived like three blocks away from each other so it wasn't a bad thing to hang out with someone you wake up every morning in the street and don't say good morning too but the moment she asked me for help I was just a step ahead helping as long as we weren't robbing anyone so I get over myself shoved my romantic novel into my backpack and head out of the classroom I notice my classmates looking at me like I won't be around for the next period, as usual, I skip class like my mother was the principal not even close to that is important because the principal kids always act like that daddy owns the school seeing themselves like some royalty. my mother runs a club as a bartender.

she didn't mention when I got there I knew it was a whack shacky doctor an abortion doctor I heard him tell her this is the seventh time she's coming not too sure this will go down successfully highlighting the danger instead of explaining the corruption this can cost upon her as a teenager not everyone has the stomach to carry a baby and I'm not telling you to open your legs for the love of your life to impregnate you and all you could do is course an eruption in your womb all for one particular stupid reason I'm too young to have a child.

it might affect her Fallopian tube and she's likely to die or become barren.

She confide in me I told her babies freaks me that I don't like babies either well that wasn't the reason why I was single I take my time to date I don't just hop on with any guy that looks like he does his laundry perfectly I am always about myself and what I want once it looks like I'm not happy or deserving what I want I Prefer to stay single rather have a guy humiliates me.

well, I had quite a full from kelvin so blinded this must be the same case with these young girls but I was so occupied in my school work rather thinking what type of guy I want to be with.

with my humble advice hoping she claimed her sanity and put on some dignity as a woman and stop killing kids from womb like the doctor said seven times are you like dumb or something what if that's all your kids, maybe she could run away give birth put it up for adoption then come back home if school seems like it was really important to her, the doctor told her to listen to me that I was making sense for her own safety as well and in the future, I was just advising her base on her numerous abortion I felt like I was the victim I wouldn't do it not to let someone do it with the tales once you give birth your body breaks that part scares me too, I wasn't a FC of abortion I know In most cases girls were left with no option few blamed it on lack of resources, condom is way more cheap if your excuse is I don't have enough money to raise a baby protect yourself I didn't tell her this not to be harsh on her to be more offended the boy who is putting her through all this is miles away not supporting her but will show up as soon as he's horny then make her pregnant again wake up neighbor maybe this is the plight their fathers saw but misinterpreted it.

I wasn't surprised when Her mum reported to the police her daughter was missing I only knew she intentionally ran away from Shame and disowning,  eating my lunch as she told my mom how her daughter disappeared not knowing I am the mastermind behind it.

Heard my mom gave her hope that I have run away many times somehow she always find me she shouldn't give up so easily have a little hope the pregnant girl will be back, if she had known her daughter is pregnant I'm sure no one will have any idea that she ran perhaps lie she had gone to Lagos to stay with one of their rich uncles.

I decide to take life seriously and not mess with boys to the extent they will get me pregnant, I just want people to accept babies regarding how it happens rather than making it look like one doesn't have to get pregnant or get shamed for it is wrong.

My parent didn't make a big deal out of babies but I was more affected than the girls their parent make it seems like a crime, family didn't cross my mind my aging didn't make me feel any less or not among because my mate probably has two years old or three years old babies sitting in their patio playing with toys I just wanted something different, a nice house, nice car, red bottoms and ysl purses hanging in my closet my condition plus making it out of the hood got to me more than the girls who got pregnant at their early stage, if I was a victim I don't think I would get rid of it the problem was the father will he be a better person, a better father like my dad or some wizzle who wouldn't care at all that will hurt me the most.

These neighbors rather blame an innocent child than hope the baby had a good father.

Finding out I was pregnant freaks me out so much I could wait to tell my mum and best friend before I told Clinton about it, when he heard it he was so excited about becoming a father, I'm glad I'm dating the most amazing person not only are we in-love but our baby blossomed and share with us the love we have for each other and I'm glad either way I'm still going to love my child the difference now is I got more money than I would've back then.

Jade took out one of the towels from the cabinet she packed her hair in one then use one to wrap around her body, stepping out of her bathroom Clinton already kept fresh clothes for her.

"Nice of you baby," she said picking them up Clinton sat on her task chair twirling in it.

"You're welcome, so how is our baby doing I was thinking maybe both of you can move in now I want to spend more time with you guys," he said getting out of the chair and taking a plate full of fruits.

"No baby, we talk about this-

He paused biting the apple as he rolled his eyes.

"That was when you weren't pregnant, look I know you're home is new fundamentally bonding with your mom both of you precisely see every day don't even say Brie she hardly around at home-

"That's because she is spending more time with her boyfriend, listen, hun, I just presumed Brie is kinda motivated by me something tells me she wants to get pregnant so our kids can be twins more like besties and that makes sense" she laugh over it, on the other hand, it wasn't funny to Clinton he walked closer to her this time she was fully dressed, he offers her some of the fruits she took it biting it quickly nodding her head how fresh it tasted.

"So if I'm too desperate I can move in-

"Pretty much my home has plenty of space plus we don't need to make reservations for dinner just ask the chef to cook up something or I do the magic" jade took out lipsticks and powder from the drawer applying them.

"I just want to spend more time with you babe, your mum is there, Brie is where my place is pretty much isolated for just a week and it seems like I am dying I don't want to miss you while we both live in the same state-

"Okay, we do it this way I don't want to look selfish since you're asking nicely-

Laugh escape her lip she walks into his arms kissing him first,

"I asked my chef to prepare us our favorite so we go to my place I pick out some clothes then I spend time with you till your next trip-

"I was thinking you should come with me is always fun traveling with you, always bringing up bomb ideas and I love that about you"

He flips her hair back kissing all over her face.

"You know I have a company to run now, I will check out my rest shoots then I will decide that doesn't mean  I'm saying no" she went over to check the notification that just chimed in her phone.

"Baby look the SHIMA  picture is out, wow this is beautiful-

Just then Brie's call came in she took it and they started talking on the phone she sound very excited and can't wait to launch them.
