[~~RECAP~~]
"Hey uhh Devon can I talk to you for a second?"
I asked neverously as we were preparing dinner.
"Sure."
"I think you might want to sit for what I'm about to tell you."
He sat down and looked at me with a questioning look.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant."
I said slowly while handing him the test out of my purse on the counter, as I walked over to him.
"That's great, but why do you sound sad?"
He said with with excitement, as I looked at the floor.
"I don't want to keep the baby."
I said fiddling with my fingers with my head down.
"Why!?
He yelled making me jump back a little.
"Because now isn't the right time and I already have to many kids to take care of."
"So you thinking about killing my baby?"
I slowly nodded my head never looking up at him until I heard the chair move.
The next thing I know is he's grabbing Devon Jr, and he's out the door slamming it.
"Well that went great."
I said to myself as I finished dinner.
After finding and gathering the kids together we are dinner and then I washed them up putting them to bed.
I laid in my bed with my phone in my hand thinking about calling my counselor and I decided to do so since I felt depressed.
A couple rings later she answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ms. Sanders this is Rain, sorry for calling so late."
"It's ok. So how did everything go?"
"He was happy at first but when I told him how I felt he got angry and left."
"Well at least he left and didn't do anything he regret."
"I agree, but I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing."
"Alright well have a goodnight and take care."
"Ok, you as well."
After that I hung up the phone and put it on the charger on the nightstand before getting comfortable and attempting to go to sleep.
[~~END OF RECAP~~]
I woke up feeling terrible so I called into work and after taking the kids to school I came back home and went to sleep.
Eventually I woke back up after a couple hours to use the bathroom. After I finished my business I was going back into my room until I spotted Devon sitting on my bed.
"Hey."
I said as I continued to the bed and got back on it sitting down comfortably.
"Hey I'm ready to talk like adults now."
He said facing me.
"First off I want to say I am very sorry for telling you I was going to get rid of the baby without coming and talking to you about it first."
I said all in one breath, as he just nodded his head to everything I said.
"I also want to apologise for walking out on you yesterday. Instead of comforting you I left so I wouldn't do anything I'd regret."
"I understand."
"Alright so what made you think of aborting our baby in the first place?"
He with a slight attitude.
"I was scared."
I responded honestly with my head down, since I was to afraid to look him in the eyes.
"Why were you scared?"
He asked lifting my chin so I could look him in the eyes.
"Because I feel like this baby would add more stress and you would leave."
"Why would you think I would leave?"
"Because that's one more kid added into our equation and that's another responsibility, which is going to add more stress."
"So? And you point is?"
He asked with a serious face.
"I-i-i don't know."
I said wiping the tears that started to come out my eyes.
"I'm going to tell you this once and one time only. What happened to you in the past is not going to happen again and I'm here to stay. So don't doubt me or yourself because together we are a team ok?"
He said as he wiped my tears away and kissed all over my face, making my giggle until I started feeling sick again.
"Stop I don't feel good."
I said and he back up off me and he looked at me curiously. Then he put his hand on my head.
"Your burning up. Let's get you to the hospital."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Well my dear you have a sickness that's in season now, and your five and a half months pregnant so you really need to be on bed rest until you get better."
The doctor said as she looked at her clipboard.
"So I can't go back to work?"
"Nope so I've written you a note to give to your job."
She handed me the paper along with a prescription and I wanted to pass out once read it and seen it said I can't go back to work until a month.
"Can I go home now?"
"Yes ma'am all I need you to do is sign your release papers and your good to go."
I signed the papers and left the hospital with Devon beside me as we made it back to his car.
He drove back to my house and got the keys to my van to go and pick the kids up while I go lay down.
~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a long week and I have three more to go.
All I do is sit in the house and lay around all day which is boring. I don't even have to worry about cooking or cleaning because Devon does it all.
Everyday I thank the Lord for blessing me with Devon even though our relationship didn't start in an ideal situation.
"Hey."
I looked up and seen Devon standing in front of me with a bowl of something.
"What is that?"
"Cheddar and broccoli soup."
I sat up and then he handed it to me along with a pack of crackers and a bottle of water.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome do you need anything else?"
"No I'm fine."
"Ok, well my break is almost over so I'm going to get back to work and I'll see you in a couple hours."
"Ok did you eat anything for lunch?"
I asked since he's been here and I haven't seen him eat.
"Yea I had a couple sandwhiches."
"Oh ok well thank you again for everything."
"Welcome babe."
He said kissing my forehead and rubbing my stomach before standing up straight and walking towards the door.
"If you need anything don't hesitate to call me."
"Ok but I'll be fine."
"Alright."
He walked out the door and then I heard it lock, and that's when I began to eat my soup with the crackers.
Once I finished I drunk some water and then took the bowl in the kitchen so I could wash it.
After washing the dishes I went back into the living room and turned the t.v. off and made my way upstairs to my room to get in the shower.
After washing my body and in the process of trying off I started to feel a slight pain at the bottom of my stomach.
As soon as it came it left and I continued what I was doing. Afterwards I got dressed, and laid in bed and I felt the pain again and so I started rubbing my stomach and the pain came back and I felt what seem like a kick.
I felt it again and while looking I seen that the baby was kicking but I didn't understand why it was painful.
I didn't want to bother Devon so I just got as comfortable as I could and eventually fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up hearing the kids scream and it bothered me so I hurried to where I heard noise coming from.
I walked into the game room and seen they we're watching IT, as Devon laid on the floor knocked out with Maloni laying on his chest. I shook them both and they woke up.
"Come on Maloni let's get you in bed."
She shook her head and continued to lay on Devon as he was slowly drifting back to sleep until one of the boys screamed making him jump up almost dropping Maloni.
"What the hell y'all screaming for?"
"The clown scares me and Terrell won't turn it off. He says I need to man up."
Maliq said quickly wiping the tears off his face.
"Really Terrell?"
I asked as he laid back with a slight smile on his face.
"Yea, he deserves it because he was crying like a baby earlier."
I shook my head and turned the t.v. off telling them it was time for bed since it was midnight.
After Devon and I put the kids in bed we made it bad to our room and I laid down, and Devon did as well and he started to rub my stomach and I felt the pain again.
"Why you look like that?"
He asked with a concerned face
"That hurts."
"Well I mean the baby is kicking sooooo."
He said and then started laughing.
"I've never felt this type of pain though."
"Ok well I'll take you back tot he hospital tomorrow."
"Ok."
I said as we got comfortable and eventually fell asleep.
