"Yuh lie to mi,!?" Zyairie shouts at me as I cried my parents are standing looking at me so are my cousins
He's angry
Furious even
"You hid the pregnancy from me,! That's selfish maya very and you had the audacity to lie to me multiple times when I asked if you're pregnant or not!
"How yuh fi do mi dis!, how long did you find out,?"
I don't say anything but continue to look down as tears fall from my eyes my face js soak I can see the disappointment on their faces
It breaks my heart
"Two weeks now," I say as Zyairie walks towards me
He grabs me up as I jump slightly he takes me by the shirt looking at me with hate and disgust
"And if I didn't search your phone I wouldn't have known,?"
He chuckles letting me go he pushes me as I fall on the couch
"Yuh nave no heart,!" He says scoffing tears filled eyes he walks to the door
"It gud mon," he says disappearing through the door
My family look at me disappointedly they walk away also leaving me and my thoughts
What have I done?
<>
Jumping up I felt hot I started breathing heavily touching my face I realized I was crying in my dream
It felt so real
Changing into sweats and tees I made my way to the door. I went outside to wash my face at the sestant pipe I saw my little cousin washing
Oh people deh yah?
I washed my face and brush my teeth sitting down on the fridge as I took in the fresh air
I haven't thrown up since I've been here and that's good nobody has to question me on why I'm vomiting so much
Less suspicion
Especially since Zyairie has been looking at me weirdly I'm not sure why
I take out my phone but the water from my hands make it hard to type my password after my fingerprints doesn't work
I swipe taking a picture
Zyairie comes towards me
I tense up once again I'm not wearing anything baggy so I'm worried he's gonna notice my stomach
The doctor said I'm almost two months pregnant
And that's crazy cause I saw my period last month
I sigh maybe I'm thinking too deep he doesn't know
I hope
"Yuh fada a call yuh," he says stopping in front me
I nod
"Weh him deh,?" He points to the outside kitchen i nod. Still sitting there I watch him watch me. He has been doing this since we've got here I wonder why...
My outfit hides my stomach even though it's not showing yet but I think it's a little noticeable
Somewhat.
Getting up I made my way to the kitchen as Zyairie follows closely behind. Entering the kitchen I greeted everybody with a smile then a good morning they responded back
"Yuh wake late todeh mon," my cousin ann voices out
"Right," brit adds
If she neva add fi har 2cents essie hate har
I don't say anything knowing that from childhood she has always had something for me. Up until this very day I have no idea what I did to her to make her treat me how she did. Glad I'm all grown up now I don't fuck with her anymore
Why is she here?
Resisting from answering her other questions I didn't say anything but sat down as Zyairie sat beside me
He places a hand on my leg
I realize I was bouncing it up and down something I do when I'm getting annoyed or aggravated
"Leave di girl," lisa says
"Unuh just nuff so," pinky added I didn't realize they were here also Gavin isn't here though
I'm completely lost to what is happening around me that I had zoned out almost instantly after Ann opened her mouth
Ugh
Daddy hands me a cup I thank him. It's the original morning tea it looks like milo or something like it I don't know
Taking a sniff I smile
Chocolate
I waited to see if I would have the urge to throw up it never came I guess since I've always been a chocolate fan the chocolate tea wouldn't have caused an upset stomach
I blow on it taking a sip
I place out my cup about to take a picture lisa places hers in the photo I take it smiling
Soft girl life fr
Aesthetic kinda vibe
(Best tea fr)
After eating breakfast I went to shower. Getting dressed I went to the doctor with my dad, mother and Zyairie. We're currently waiting in the doctors office
I decided to stop out going to the parking lot were Zyairie was. When he sees me he rolls down the window
"What happened,?" I shake my head. "Nothing". Walking to the other side of the car I went inside as the air conditioning greets my skin
Today hot out
Mah sweat a lot. And it's not even that sunny I have on a dress it fits my body well and doesn't show my stomach even though it's tightly fitted
Taking off my crocs I reached down to rub my ankles. Been a while since I've done any serious movement so it's hard to adjust to the hills and high tops in the country
I look over at Zyairie as he recline his seat a little
"Gimmie yuh foot," doing as I'm told I shifted a little placing my leg on him as he takes the other too. He starts rubbing my feet as I sighed
This feels good
Leaning my head on the car seat I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation of being touched by him. Well relax and at ease. He always knew how to make me better
"You're so pretty," he randomly says making my eyes open I look over at him. Is he talking to me or?. I don't see anything in his ears so I'm guessing he's talking to me
"Thank you," he gives me a smile before continuing.
"You're everything I've always wanted you know I love you right,?"
Love...
He loves me!
Does he?
"Ano dat eh ute just seh," my subconscious says rolling her eyes at me
Mhmmm
HE loves me?. He LOVES me? Nah he loves ME?
maybe he does
"From the first time I laid eyes on you when you entered the room in that little outfit of yours, the way your face was relaxed not knowing how much danger you were in. The way how you had this innocent yet intriguing aura oozing off you. I didn't need a sign to know that you'd be mine"
"Lamaya mi really love yuh eno mi swear pon mi life seh mi woulda neva do nutn fi hurt yuh. Just believe mi nuh; mi miss yuh yard feel like a ghost town"
Zyairie POV
***
Well since she left I haven't been at home everything reminds me of her
Her scent is still on the sheets and her favorite cologne is still where she left it
Everything is exactly how she left it
It's tearing me apart how much she has changed since I've last seen her. So much I want to know and understand but she keeps away from me. Not that I blame her
I maybe would too
"Lamaya...baby listen please mah beg yuh just believe mi and know seh mi neva meant fi hurt yuh in any way mi know weh mi a get accuse of is something serious but mi neva dweet please just nuh mek dis break we," I say feeling my eyes watering a little
Fuck mon
Feel fi cry di way mi frustrated right now
She turns her head away from me looking through the car window. Closing my eyes I tried my best to not let my emotions get the best of me
Using my kerchief I wiped my face as a tear rolls down my cheek.
She goodly think mah pussy cause mah bawl...as dem seh man nuh fi show dem emotions dem fi just wull it
But mi been a wull it how much longer should I?
She retreats her feet off my lap turning towards me I look at her. She sighs as if she's thinking
"Zyai-. Her voice breaks as she stops on the middle of saying my name. I'm quiet just waiting for her to say something she does after a while
"I believe you, she says. "But mi nuh know how fi feel honestly caz everything just-
She stops talking and closes her eyes
Her voice cracks once more. It's like she's on the verge of crying. She's emotional...I'm emotional what's happening
It's obvious it's killing both of us but she just won't admits it
I'm being a man and communicating with her but she's closing off still. What can I do? Absolutely nothing
But wait until she's ready
Like always
She reaches for the car door opening it exiting the car; she makes her way towards the building I watch her as she disappears inside
Oh wow.
Im hurting and she's acting like she doesn't care. Something she always does. Am I the problem? Did I mess up?
Sigh
Betta mi just stop try and lowe har out yah mon tyad a run backa har only fi she just give up easy just because she can
Why mi neva just lowe her from wah gwaan a di party dem time deh. Days like these mek mi wish mi neva did go shay dance
From desso everything just change. I mean I had some great memories with her but obviously she doesn't want me anymore so I might as well
Leave her alone
Connecting back to the aux I played letter by dyani
Writing you this letter
Girl you make me better
I need you forever
Girl you are my treasure
Writing you this letter
Shaking my head I reclined the seat laying down staring at the car top.
It's really over
Lamaya POV
****
Sitting on the toilet I held my stomach as it began to hurt even more
What's happening?
Getting up I wiped checking the tissue it has small drops of blood on it the sight makes my heart leaps
Flushing it I came out washing my hands looking in the mirror
Closing my eyes I could feel the tears threatening to spill
Not again
Please God doh mek it be dat
I scream loudly hitting the mirror. It doesn't break though. Sure people heard me but I guess
I breakdown crying looking in the mirror after a minute I washed my face coming out the bathroom as people stare at me as if I'm mad
Calming myself down I sighed
No no it can't be that maybe something happened or so
I decided to enter the lobby walking towards the door of my fathers room a doctor touches my shoulder
"You mind coming with me,?" She says I nod she takes me into a room...
"You have blood on your clothes," she says softly
My heart starts beating faster
What?
Was that why people were staring at me weirdly?
"Time of the month mishaps it happens all the time," she says taking out pads and other stuff
"You can use my bathroom and there is a clean underwear in the box over the curtain. Also there's some bags to keep your stained clothes. I have a clean pair of jeans in my bag not sure if it can fit but try,"
I nod
She searches her bag handing me the jeans and a plain white shirt I go to the bathroom. Changing my clothes and stuff
Coming out
"Thank you,"
She smiles
"Are you a doctor,?" I asked
No shit...
"Yes, a obstetrician,"
Isn't that the doctor who take cares of pregnant people...
"Ummm I'm in trouble and I need some assistance," I say as she raises a brow
"What kinda trouble,?" She asks
"Well ummm you see I'm pregnant,"
She stops writing and stares at me
"And you're bleeding,?" She says
"Oh no let's take a look at that," she says getting up coming towards me she opens a door urging me to enter
She uses something to light up the room she presses a button calling for another doctor
She looks panic but calm
"We'll see exactly what is the problem okay just relax and breathe," she says rubbing my hand
I didn't realize I was hyperventilating
I try to calm myself. I'm so worried I don't even know what to do currently
She places me on a bed to lay
"Do you mind taking this off,?" She asks touching my pants I nod taking them off
She places a gown over me as I lay back down
Tears are welled in my eyes and I feel like I'm bouta have a heart attack to how much I'm shaking
"Just breathe," she instructed rubbing my hand in hers
"You'll be alright,"
I nod
The doctor enters and they start taking in some big words that I don't understand
Why doctors so confusing
"She does a scan and a ultrasound before checking to see if I'm still bleeding
After a while she came back
"Well it seems to me that you're still pregnant and the babies are fine," she says making me breathe a sigh of relief
Thank God
I was so worried i thought I'd lose my bab-
Wait she seh babies with an s?
I stare at her
"My what,?" I asked
Maybe mi neva hear har right
"Your babies," she repeats
I blink a couple times
What!? That's impossible
How?
"You didn't know,?" She says I shake my head
"You're almost three months pregnant you can see the fetus developing more clearly and it shows on the ultrasound that it's two of them," she explains
"At first we only saw one then for some reason it started to show two realized that one was hiding behind the other based on the angle of the sonogram,"
I'm speechless
I'm having twins
Two babies? What!? How can I manage two kids at the same time
"With zyairie," my subconscious says suggestively
Hmmm
Maybe...not
She hisses her teeth cursing me out she gets quiet ignoring me
What a subconscious dramatic no sah
"So I'm pregnant with twins,?" She nods explaining a bit more on the information because of my facial expressions
"You didn't know,?" I shake my head
"It happens often where one baby hides behind the other in a way of a shadow so the sonogram doesn't show them,"
I nod taking in all the information
"Also you need to eat more iron and vitamin C foods to gain more weight and enrich your blood you lost a lot and you'll continue to due to your condition. You have a special kinda body that can't take or manage the weight of carrying a human inside you your ovarian muscles are weak and needs to be strengthened ,"
I know that
"I could suggest some natural remedies or prescribe some pills,"
"Natural remedies?" She nods
My phone rings bringing me out of my thoughts
Where are you?
Around the place I'll be out soon
I'm inside the building looking around for you. Yuh mommy and daddy already get drive gone home mi ave tings fi do so weh yuh deh?
Zyairie I'll be out soon wait on me in the car
Ah
I sigh as he hangs up . Okay then turning towards the doctor she explains how it works and everything
We exchanged numbers as she congratulates me once again
I still can't believe this
Walking out I saw zyairie standing at the lobby talking to a brown skin doctor
She's smiling really hard as he says something to her
Is he flirting with her?
One mind mi just go ova deh and lick har inna har face
No no
Calm mon
As di docta seh mi neva tell him fi wait inna eh car. A eh car dis?
He looks around and spots me he says something as the female nods she walks away as zyairie walk towards me he stops in front of me
"Where were you,?" He asked
Ummm
Afta mi no obligated fi ansa
"Somewhere," my eyes are still looking in the direction the female went
Weh him did a seh to har? A him ooman dat too?
Just then
"Miss Nelson you forgot this," doctor Philips says handing me the bag
"Thank you," I say politely taking it from her
She looks behind me and freezes i look to see zyairie looking at her also
"Z," she says as I look at them both
Huh?
"Melia," he says they both start smiling she steps towards him as they both hug each other
I'm confused and annoyed
"Been so long since I've seen you," she said. "Right since when my last home warming party,?" She nods
"Can't believe it you've matured," she added
"Dun know," he says smiling
Den wah mek fi him smile so wide a wah? Supmu mi a miss
It's obvious they know each other
It just clicked that she called him 'Z' that's what I call him a ping of jealous flows through me
I stand watching their exchange
After a while he spoke again
"Sorry for my manners. Melia this is Lamaya Lamaya this is Melia my good friend from childhood days,"
"I believe we've met," she chuckles I smile
"Oh really under what grounds,?" Zyairie asks looking at me
I get nervous
Ummm
"She had a little accident earlier that I helped with," she says gaining his attention
Knowing him he definitely wants to know what happened...
"Wah gwaan,?" He asks me
"Nothing serious," I mutter looking down
"You sure,?" He asks I nod
"If you don't mind me asking what's the relation,?"
I do mind you asking actually...
"She's my girlfriend," zyairie answered
Jesus mon!
Wampu to him mon!
"Oh really that's nice," she says
"Congratulations on settling down she's a really good girl from what I've experienced with her," she added
Right....
"Yah," zyairie says but it has a double meaning to it
"Also congratulations," she says
My heart starts racing my mind is running I want to grab his hand and rush outta here but my body won't move
Oh no
This is bad
"On what,?" He asks genuinely confused
She looks at me I look down
She clears her throat
"You don't know,?" She whispered to herself but I heard and I'm sure so did zyairie
"Everybody keeps saying that," zyairie says in a monotone
Everybody? Like who?
Who else beside who I have told knows? What does he mean by everybody? What's happening is somebody out here spreading my name?
"It's nothing," I say quickly but nobody heard me because I said it in my mind as I stare at nothing I can't feel anything
Trying to steady my eyes on something it gets blurry I feel my body jolt
The world goes black
(Please do not shame the characters for their actions I know at times it's frustrating but the problems and situations make the story more realistic try to see it from their point of view and bare with em)
