Chapter 21: Pregnant

Angel's POV:

I laid in bed, watching TV. Bad Girls Club was on and it was a great show, despite all the bitches that do bully shit. I heard my phone go off. I looked at it. It was a text from Kacey. She said congratulations. The hell? All of a sudden, I felt sick. I got up and ran to the bathroom and threw up. What the hell? Congratulations. Congratulations on what? Why else would anyone say congratulations? There's a million reasons why people would say congratulations. Your pregnant bitch!!! My eyes widen. No way. Yes way. Oooooh we gotta think of names. I got up and grabbed my keys. I ran downstairs to see Keisha with Dad. They were playing Phase Ten. "Hey Angel." Keisha said. I smiled sheepishly. "Where you going?" Dad asked.

"Um, to the store." I said. I had to get a pregnancy test. "Cool. I wanna get me some Now n Laters." Dad said. "Uh uh. Those things are way too hard." Keisha said. They both got up and walked out the house with me. We got in my car and drove off. Im not pregnant. I'm not pregnant. I'm not pregnant. Saying it ain't gon make the baby go away. We don't know for sure. I pulled up at CVS pharmacy. "Uh Angel? Why are we here?" Dad asked. "This is the best place to get candy." I said. "Yeah. People love getting candy and snacks that smell like medicine." He said, sarcastically. We got out and walked in. Dad walked around for chips. I walked around, looking for pregnancy tests. I picked out three.

I heard some clear they're throat. I jumped and fell against the products. "Keisha?! Oh what-what are you doing?" I asked. "No bitch. What are you doing?" She asked. "I was just-" she cut me off. "Just what? Who are those for?" She asked. I fumbled with my words. I sighed. "Okay fine. I think I might be pregnant." I said. "Oh Angel. Girl, when this happened?" She asked. "At Kacey's graduation party. Me and Lucky went back to his place and we got down." I said. She chuckled. "Oh my God. Well congratulations." She said. "We don't know yet." I said. "How am I gonna hide this from Dad?" I asked. She held up her finger and put the pregnancy tests on the counter. We quickly bought them. She went and put them in the car.

"Problem solved." She said. I smiled. Glad she has my back. "Alright Daddy let's go." I said. He came over and had a bunch chips in his hands. "Dang Dad. You getting fat on us?" I said. Me and Keisha laughed. He mocked us. "No. This for me and my baby." He said. "Oh you and Mom having movie night?" I asked. "No. You're going back home today." He said. "What?" Keisha said. "Why? I thought we were leaving tomorrow?" I said. "We're going on a cruise." He said. "Oooh where?" Keisha asked. "The Caribbean." He said. I sighed. We paid for the snacks and walked out. We drove back to the house and packed our stuff up. Mama and Dad said they're goodbyes and left to the airport. We drove all the way back home. "Home sweet home." I said.

Keisha laughed. We walked in, suitcases in our arms. "Oh my God guys. It's so good having you guys back." Aaliyah said. "Feels hood to be back." Keisha said. "Angel, what's wrong? You so quiet." Meghan said. "Oh. I'm happy to be back." I said. "You don't sound happy." She said. "She's just upset Mama and Dad had to leave and we had to come home early." Keisha said. "Why they'd leave?" Meghan asked. "They're going on a cruise." Keisha said. "Ooohhh. I wanna go." Meghan said. "Yeah me too. I could use the relaxation." Aaliyah said. "For what bitch?" Meghan asked. They got into it downstairs. I went upstairs to my room and put my stuff down. I went to the bathroom and took out the tests. I took a deep breath and peed on all three tests.

I set a timer on my phone and waited. Keisha walked in. "Hey girl. So what's the news?" She asked. I pointed to my phone. "Waiting." I said. I leaned back against the headboard and stared at the ceiling. "Angel relax dawg. You are going to be a great mother." She said. "We don't know yet." I said. Then my phone went off. I gasped and turned away. "I can't look." I said, covering my face. I heard Keisha walk over to the dresser. She chuckled. "I'm gonna be an auntie." She sang. I looked at the tests. They were all positive. I smiled. "But then again, you never know. These tests can give false positives." Keisha said. "Yeah. Let's go to the hospital." I said. We got up and left. We drove her car this time.

I didn't feel like driving. We drove to the hospital and waited for a room. It was agonizing to wait but it was all gonna be worth it. We finally got a room and waited awhile. Then the doctor walked in. "Hello. What seems to be the problem?" He asked. "I think I may be pregnant." I said. He nodded. "I see. One moment. A nurse will be in." He said. We waited ten minutes before a nurse came in with a pee cup and cotton swabs. Didn't know saliva will help tell of your pregnant of not. I peed in the cup and gave it to her. She left and we about forty five minutes. "You nervous?" Keisha asked. I looked at her and nodded. "Very." I said. Then the doctor came back in. "Congratulations Ms. Starlight. You are indeed pregnant. Your about eight weeks." He said. I gasped and smiled.

Keisha clapped. "I'm gonna be an auntie." She cried, as she hugged me. We thanked the doctor and left. Keisha cheered the whole ride there. She screamed out the window about her becoming an auntie. Some people actually congratulated her. I smiled and shook my head at her. "So when you gon tell Lucky?" She asked, after she calm down. "Today." I said. "What?" She said. "Yeah. Might as well get it over with." I said. "You right. I can't wait til I become a mommy." She said. "Well you can wait til Marcus gets back and talk to him." I said. "Yeah you right." She said. We walked in the house and I grabbed the pregnancy tests and took off outside. I walked down hen road and texted Lucky.

He hasn't been very talkative since I left. He was but then it stopped. I was worried about him. About us. I texted him but he didn't respond. I tried to call him but he hung up multiple times. I got aggravated and walked to his house. I knocked on the door and was met by his mom, Alicia. "Oh my God Angel!!!" She screamed. She hugged me tightly. "Hi Alicia. How are you?" I asked. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I thought you were coming back tomorrow?" She said. "Parents goin on a cruise so I had to come back early." I said. "Oh that sounds lovely. Come on in." She said. I walked in and seen Dylan. He smiled and hugged me. Then I smelled cinnamon. "Um, is Lucky here? I need to talk to him." I said.

"Yes ma'am. He's upstairs in his room." Alicia said. She walked me upstairs to Lucky's room. She knocked on the door. "Lucky? Angel is here." She said. Then we heard a loud crash on the other side. I heard Lucky whisper something. "Just a minute." I said. "If this is a bad time, I can leave." I said, irritably. We heard something like a slap. "No no. It's not a bad time baby." Lucky said. All of a sudden, I felt angry. "No you know what? It is I'm guessing since you never answered my calls or texts. I called you on the way here and you hung up on me. Three times." I said. "Three times Lucky!!" Alicia said. She tried to open the door but it was locked. "Lucky don't lock doors in my house." She yelled. "Sorry I was just-" I cut him off. "Whatever Lucky." I said, then I walked off. I heard the door open behind me but I ignored it.

"Angel wait!!" Lucky called. I ignored him. He's tryna talk to you. He should've talked when I wanted to. I heard footsteps running behind me. I kept walking. "Angel wait." Lucky said. He grabbed my arm but I snatched it away. "Don't fucking touch me!!" I yelled. "What's wrong? What did I do?" He asked. "You didn't call or text me when I was gone. I called you several times on the wha over to your house and you ignored me. If you want us to be over, just say it. Or better yet, I'll do it. We're over." I said, before walking away. "No. Angel." He said. He hugged me from behind. I tried to break free. "Lucky get off of me!!!!" I cried. He held on tight. I broke down crying. He held me. Then I noticed he smelled like cinnamon. I pushed him off me.

"Why the fuck do you smell like cinnamon?" I asked. He stuttered. "Angel, I was cooking." He said. "I'm not stupid Lucky. If your cheating on me, let me know now." I said. "Angel-" I cut him off by holding my hand up. I transformed and flew away. He followed me. I flew all the way home. I entered the house and slammed the door. "Angel? What happened?" Aaliyah asked. I didn't answer. "Angel!!!" Lucky yelled. "Whoa. What happened?" Alma asked. "Lucky is cheating on me with someone who smells like cinnamon." I said. "What?!" Keisha said. "I was cooking." Lucky said. "If you were cooking, you daily wash cinnamon right off." Meghan said. Lucky stuttered. "Get out." Keisha said.

"No. Angel I can explain." Lucky said. "I don't want to hear it." I said. "Damn it Angel. Let me fucking explain!!" Lucky shouted. I looked at him, stunned. "Wow. This is how you talk to the mother of your unborn child?" Keisha said. Everyone grew silent. "Wait. Angel, your pregnant?" Bryan asked. I didn't look at anybody. I nodded. "Yep." I said. I continued walking upstairs. "Angel, your....your pregnant?" Lucky asked. I shook my head and cried. "Lucky get the fuck out!!" Keisha yelled. "No I'm-" Bryan cut him off off. "Lucky just leave. Please. Let's let everybody cool down." He said. I walked to my room and slammed my door. I laid down and cried in my pillow. I cried for what felt like hours. Kacey came over and held me while I cried. I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up to Kacey watching TV. She looked at me. "Hey. Feeling better?" She asked. I stared at her before running to the bathroom to throw up. "No." I said. I came back to her sitting up. "Morning sickness is one of the two worst things about pregnancy." She said. "What's the second?" I asked. "The birthing." She said. "Ugh." I said. "Angel you gotta talk to Lucky. He really wants to talk to you." She said. I glared at her. "I have nothing to say to him." I said, sitting down. "Angel he loves you deeply. Why are you acting like this?" She asked. "He smelled like cinnamon. Like Meghan said, if you were cooking with cinnamon, it'll wash right off." I said. She stared at me. "What?" I asked. "That's the scent of his ex girlfriend. A bitch I can't stand. I swore I would kill her if I ever saw her again." She said.

"Oh so he's been sleeping with his ex? Fantastic." I said. I sat down next to her. "Look Angel. Lucky hates his ex girlfriend. We all do. No way Lucky is gonna get back with his ex." She said. "Then why was she with him? Why did he smell like cinnamon?" I asked. "These are questions YOU need to ask him. Go talk to him. He's really upset." She said. I sighed. "Where is he?" I asked. "Where do you think?" She said. "Light Lake." I said. She nodded. I jumped out the window and transformed into a wolf. I ran to Light Lake and looked around. I was looking for a sign of Lucky. I found him inside the cave where he found me the day we met. He turned around and saw me. Neither of us moved. I didn't feel anything towards him. No love, no hate, nothing.

He stood up and came towards me. I growled. He put his hands up. "Angel look. I'm sorry baby. Okay? I'm sorry. I lied. I was not cooking with cinnamon. I was....with my ex girlfriend. Her scent is of cinnamon." He said. I transformed and crossed my arms. "Yeah I kinda figured that out." I said. He took a step forward but I took a step back. "Why was she there? In your room." I said. His expression changed. He was sad. "We were talking." He said. "And she just happened to rub her scent all on you?" I asked. He looked away. "Okay. We...." He trailed off. He struggled to find words. Then he punched a boulder. "God it's hard to say this without making it sound like I was cheating on you." He said, angrily. "But that's what you were doing." I said, calmly.

"Angel, baby. Please. He made me." He said. I rolled my eyes and turned around to leave. "No Angel. I'm serious." He said. "Lucky your a guy. Your stronger a than her. How the hell did she make you?" I asked. "Because something happened the day you left. And has blackmailed me. She threatened to find you and tell you about it unless I gave her something in return for her silence." He said. I scoffed. "So she wanted you to fuck her so she wouldn't find me and tell me you guys- what did y'all even do?" I asked. "Today or the day you left?" He asked. "The day I left." I said, through gritted teeth. "Well, keep in mind I was keep. I had a dream you was giving me head and turns out it was her." He said. I stared at him before walking away. "Angel!!! I swear that's what happened!!" He yelled.

"Whatever Lucky." I said. I heard a loud crash began me. It was loud enough to make me cover my ears. I turned around and Lucky was glaring at me. "Angel Starlight, I love you to fucking death. And I'll be damned if I let you go. I mean the fucking world to me. I have never lied to you before. So why would I lie about this? I'm telling you the foul shit I did and you still don't believe me. Not a lot of dudes will tell they girl of they're wrong doings but I do and you don't believe me?" He said. Damn. He got a point. "Lucky, try to see things from my perspective. My boyfriend, in bed with his ex girlfriend. He tells me they were just talking yet that isn't what went down. He got head from his ex the day I left to spend time with my parents." I said.

He stared at me. "Imagine this the other way around. How would I you feel if I told you my ex came into town and me and him fucked because he threatened to tell you that he gave me head but I was sleep so I couldn't do anything about it. I don't care if you were sleep or not, I know you would woke the fuck up and stopped it. If your sleeping and something feels too real Lucky, it probably is." I said. I turned around and walked away. I transformed and flew home. I took a bath and climbed in bed. I stared at the TV while my phone continued to light up in the corner of my eye. I knew it was Lucky cause it went off every five seconds. I ignored him. I just needed some time away from him.

I didn't wanna lose my baby so I wasn't stressing over this. Kacey came in the room and asked me if I'll ever talk to Lucky again. I told her I'll talk to him when he isn't in timeout anymore. She laughed at me then left. I watched TV til I fell asleep. I woke up to loud music playing. Turns out everyone was cleaning up. On account of my pregnancy, I couldn't help everyone clean up. So I went out. I went to McDonald's and bought some food. I sat in the building and ate. I heard the door of the building open behind me. Then I smelled lemons. I tensed up. Lucky came over and sat in front of me. "Hi." He said. I stared at him. He pulled out a rose and chocolates. I stared at them before pushing his hand away.

"You can either keep those and give them to your Mom or return them." I said. "So you still mad?" He asked. "Naw. I'm just eating the pain away." I said. He smiled softly. "Angel I'm really sorry." He said. "I know Lucky." I said. He reached for my hand but I moved it away. "So where is she?" I asked. "Where's who?" He asked. "Your ex. Where is she? Who is she?" I asked, curiously. He frowned at me. "She's not here and she's a nobody. I'm not concerned about her. Only you and our little bundle of joy." He said. Hearing him say that made me smile. "Oh! Oh! I got a smile." He said. I blushed. "Boy shut up." I said. He came over and sat next to me. "So how's the baby?" He asked. "They're fine." I said. "Good." He said. "I'm fine too. Thanks for asking." I said, sarcastically. He laughed.

"I'm worried about you too. So how far along are you?" He asked. "Eight weeks." I said. He grinned and hugged me. "Oh my God. I'm so fucking happy." He said. I smiled. I finished eating and we both left. He was really eager to get me go back to his house. I was confused as to why. He said he wanted to make sure I was safe. He said he didn't know where his ex was, as she was pretty upset when Lucky kicked her out yesterday when I left. I just hope she isn't a psycho bitch.
