Can I Get a Picture?

Can I Get a Picture Chapter 16

"I've missed you more sister! What's been going on?!" We pulled away stepping inside as I closed the door behind her.

"Gurlllll, we have so much to catch up on. We have to wait for the others to get here though"

"Oh chi you know it'll be another hour before they slow assess gets here" she rolled her eyes

"Girl I know that's why I told them a earlier time so they can actually be on time. Hopefully they'll all be here shortly"

"Smart!" We high-five laughing before walking into the kitchen while she caught me up on life on broadway.

Not long after the rest of the crew finally arrived: Lala, Ciara, Solo & Bey, Mama T, Victoria, and Angie.

Everyone gathered preparing themselves their plates and drinks before we sat and small talked. After a while I was too anxious and nervous to withhold my secret for any longer.

"Alright y'all I have something to tell you. We listen and we don't judge.." this quieted the chatter gaining everyone's undivided attention. "So for those of you who don't know, Tim and I has been separated for awhile, and within that time I've met someone else."

*collective gasp* "girl who?"

"Aw what happened?"

"Separated?? Since when??"

"Are you ok?" Victoria, mama T, Michelle and Solange all asked at once

Meanwhile Bey, Ang, and Ci all gave me a silent look like "bitch tell the truth"

"Well actually... I met this person during my marriage... and um... we had an entanglement"

[*Another collective gasp*]

"Kelendria!"

"Ouu bitch this tea is good!"

"With who?"

"Had? As in past tense?"

Mama T, Victoria, Solo, and Michelle all said at once again.

"In past tense yes because it's no longer an entanglement. We're together now it's the reason I moved out." At this everyone gasped and bombarded me with simultaneous questions. Mama T voice spoke above the others

"Na hold on wait a minute, how long has this been going on?"

"About a year now"

"What?!" Mama asked all dramatic like

"I know I know.. at first I was so against it and felt so guilty... but the temptation got the best of me... I wanted it again and again and again until things developed into something else"

"Girl tell us with who?" Michelle messy ass asked not even caring about what I just said

"Y/N"

[* another collective gasped*]

"Girl say no more. I get it!" Solange voiced causing the others to snicker

"Will you two stop with your foolishness! And why you other 4 so quiet?" The snickering stop as mama was dead serious right now

"Because they knew" I told not wanting all the blame to be put on me

Mama T gasped looking as if she could pass out at any given moment.

"No no I only knew a lil bit they knew more than me" Beyoncé voiced throwing the blame on the remaining 3.

"Wait a minute we had nothing to do with this" Lala defended gesturing between her and CiCi "Angie the one that covered for her" La tossed it on Angie making her gasp

"Shut the fuck up" she mouth to them "they dragged me into it mama I had no choice!" Angie defended herself

Mama rolled her eyes shaking her head at us "you girls and your damn secrets, you've been doing it since you were kids"

"Oh wow! So y'all kept all this good tea from me?!" Everyone snickered except mama who hit Solange upside her head.

"Ok Kelendria, you're bringing this up now why?" Mama turned to me and asked her stress evident on her face. She was definitely judging.

"Well I recently found out some news... I'm 4 months pregnant!!"

Everyone gasped before yelling out their shock and congratulations, everyone coming over engulfing me in a hug while taking turns rubbing gently on my belly.

"Aww how did you found out so soon?" Victoria asked

"I had pregnancy like sickness and I knew that's what it was. I went to the doctor to make sure and I am."

"I'm so happy for you sister"

My hormones immediately kicked in causing me to shed a couple tears.

"Do you know what you're having?"

"A girl"

"Awww! A baby Kelly walking around!"

"I know" I wiped the corner of my eyes as more tears fell

"Have you told Y/N yet?"

"Nope, this will be her first child so I want to do something special before I tell her"

"What does Tim has to say about all of this?"

"He doesn't know about any of this. Of course the separation and talk of divorce caught him off guard, but so far he's been very cooperative. I don't know when but I'll tell him soon"

Mama looked like she didn't approve of this: which I understand I wasn't at the beginning either. But it is what it is. No turning back now.

"Well it looks as if you have everything under control, I wish you two the best, and a nice smooth pregnancy and delivery. If you guys need anything you already who to call."

"Thank you mama" I hugged her "and thank y'all too I know it isn't right but it feels right. And I thank y'all so much for not judging me"
I expressed my gratitude as tears continue to stream down my face

"Kells you know we would never judge you. We all got our own stories and who knows, I might be next in the entanglement line" Beyoncé reasoned with a playful wink at the end. But I knew it wasn't playful *side eye*

As we ended the topic we moved on to things more lighter as we ate over dessert. After our food settled we had cocktails (except me ofc) and played games and music. Hours later everyone began to leave one by one until it was just me, the day caught up to me feeling exhausted. I locked up before going to take a quick nap.
