Dominic moved his seat halfway back and leaned it down, he played songs on my iPod and I could tell that by the songs he played what was on his mind. Halfway through I caught him sleeping and snapped a picture of it for my wallpaper. He looked cute with his head off to the side, mouth open and snoring a bit. Once we got home I tried waking him up by saying his name over and over, then I screamed it. "Sh-sh-shawty! What are you doing?" I giggled at him, "we're here. You can go lay on my bed, boy." I smiled at him and he smiled back. He held onto my waist with his chin on my shoulder as I unlocked the door and opened it. Not bothering to turn on any lights we just went upstairs and he leaped on my bed. I got out my pajamas and made him to turn around, "but shawty, I done seen that lil' sexy body naked." I giggled and turned around, "aww, look you got a cute lil' pudge." He got up and started kissing my belly, I didn't even notice I had gained a couple pounds, I was working out lately. I got dressed and laid beside him, he pulled me close as he turned on his side facing the back of my head. He was asleep before I could tell him goodnight, I smiled and kissed his cheek before turning back over to sleep. The next morning I got up and went to get dressed in paint splattered destroyed skinny jeans, an yellow Obey shirt and neon yellow cheetah print Vans. I went downstairs to make a big breakfast, Ben, D'con and Trey were coming over. I turned on the TV to MTV Jams, cleaned up the house and fixed the table up for everyone, I made strawberry lemonade for Ben and Trey, rolled a blunt for Dominic before I went to wake him up. "Dominic, baby. Come get up, Ben's comin' over." I whispered softly while rubbing on his back. "Mmm, shawty. You cookin'?" I giggled, "yes, now hurry and shower so you can eat." He leaned up and kissed me, I went back to check the oven for the biscuits. My doorbell rang as I finished up putting everyone's plates on the table, I went over to open the door and let them in, "hey, Pais, wassup?! Dominic get his lazy ass up yet?" Ben asked hoping on the couch, "yeah, he's up" I giggled, "Ben, you nigga, you know no talking about me without me here!" Dominic joked as he came down the stairs and kissing me, "y'all get a room" Trey said in disgust and I threw up the middle finger. I showed Dominic where to sit as well as the guys too. "Damn, how many of y'all got a blunt?" I giggled as everyone looked for on but never turned up with one, "awe, just me? Good!" He yelled jokingly then pulled me over, "I get this all to me" I giggled and hit his arm, "hush!" I blushed bright, I stood up to get a water but Dominic pulled gently on my arm, "lil' fatty" he joked, "you love it," I joked back. "Yo, why call her 'lil' fatty'?" Ben curiously asked with a mouthful of egg, "she gained a few pounds from working out, lately." Ben nodded his head like 'oh okay, I see' "yeah, look! It's bull-crap!" I stood to my side and let it go, Ben spit out his food, "holy shit, she look pregnant," I shook my head no, "Dominic uses condoms, though" "Dominic gonna be a daddy!" Trey joked causing D'con to start laughing almost getting choked. "Yo, chill. Paisley ain't pregnant," Dominic defended, "I ain't want no kid now so you know I'm wrapping my shit up." For some reason I felt rejected, like knowing if I did get pregnant at anytime he'd leave because he don't want a kid. I got up from the table, "Paisley" Dominic called me, already knowing what he did, "shut up, I'll be back. You guys stay here." I walked out and went to my car. I drove to the store to pick up two boxes of pregnancy tests. I was determined to prove them wrong, Dominic called me at least 50 times while I was driving, I didn't answer, partly because I loved my ringtone I had set for him and the other part because I was mad. I parked my car and ran inside straight to the feminine aisle, I picked up two boxes and blushingly walked to the self-check out. I scanned both, placing them in the grey plastic bag and hit 'finish.' I paid my cash, taking the receipt and the change back. I stuffed the bag in my purse and ran back to my car. I called Dominic back knowing I'd embarrass him with the ringtone he set for me around his friends; Neva End by Future. "Why'd you leave?" He calmly asked, "because, you guys wanna joke about me being pregnant and shit I started believing it so why not prove them wrong?" He sighed annoyed, "Paisley, oh my god, it was a joke. Laugh, don't take them serious. You're tripping," I sighed back at him saying okay and hung up. I lied, I wanted to see that if I was in fact pregnant, Dominic would leave. I didn't want to hear it from him, I wanted to see the actions myself, taking the saying "I'll believe it when I see it" to good use. I pulled into the driveway seeing that everyone was still here, I opened the door, walking to the stairs, pausing and stared down at Dominic. I sighed before walking up to the bathroom, "you made her mad, dude. She pissed." Trey laughed. I noticed it went silent as I slammed the bathroom door. I took every test all at once and waited patiently got each to finish. I sat on the sink picking at my hangnails and kicking my feet against the cabinet beneath the sink. After I let a few minutes pass I grabbed all four sticks, looking at each, 'pregnant' I read by all four. I kept my face calm, while I walked down with everyone looking at me, I walked to Dominic and slammed one of the tests down next to him. "What?" Looking at me, "uh, read it, duh" I snapped annoyed. "Yeah, that's just one," I slammed the next one down, "well, they mess up don't they?" I slammed the last two down, "damn, four?," The guys all leaned up to read the tests, "mmhmm" I mouth still annoyed, "how you feel, man? You gotta kid now" Ben calmly asked him, "man, I don't know. C'mon lets go. Bye Paisley." He was walking out the door when I only got the bye out, "I love you" I whispered to myself. "Huh?" Ben said looking at be, "nothing, tell Dominic I love him for me" I tried holding back tears, "Paisley, don't cry. Dominic loves you, you know it. He's just moody." I got up, "yeah" and walked upstairs to my bed, I took a shower, put on my favorite pajamas, laid down in bed and turned the TV to Lifetime. I hopefully kept unlocking my phone to see if he wrote me but getting my hopes too high when I didn't have a message. I pushed myself down lower in the bed and started crying, holding the body pillow pretending it was Dominic and loudly cried until I fell asleep.
I woke up at four in the morning, I kept having a bad dream. My phone on the nightstand next to the side of my bed was going off, Dominic was calling me, I sighed deeply before I answered. Me: Hello? Dom: Babe, I'm sorry for how I acted, I was pissy. It's nothing you said or even did I started crying Me: I-I-I-I'm sor-so-so-sorry Dom: Babe, you haven't done nothing, stop crying, okay? Me: Oh-o-okay Dom: Beautiful, I'm coming home Me: Good, with a giggle. Dom: I love you, beautiful. I'll see you soon. Me: I love you too. I hung up and laid back down, I was nervous, the subject of the matter that I was pregnant was still floating in the air around the house, though no one was here but me i could still feel the thickness of tension lingering around above head. I heard the doorknob clicking open and sat up in bed, I wanted to hide my tired, red, heavy and glossy eyes from Dominic from crying for hours. I heard his Jordan's hitting the steps as they hit each one, he opened the door, his eyes scanning for me, "babe" he whispered, I could tell a smile was wide on his face. "Yes?" I whispered back, he took off his shoes then jumped on the bed, finding me, wrapping his arms all over me, kissing my belly and lips.
I unwillingly went back to sleep knowing that within only a few short hours Dominic and I would be facing the bigger situation; his baby. I wanted to make us into a family, I was ready and willing to try at least to get Dominic to stay, it was his child after all, why wouldn't he want to raise it with me? Yes, we are young, Dominic was just 20 and I am 19, but like many things this was unplanned, now we have to handle it and grow up. No matter what Dominic told me in the morning, I was keeping the baby. I was ready to grow up and be a mom but if Dominic wanted to leave then I would by all means let him, I couldn't force him to stay, I could try and give him reasons but a decision is a strong thing to change when you already know what you want. I woke up before Dominic did and got dressed, I didn't even care what I put on, today was just one of those days. I walked downstairs and sat at the kitchen table, I put my hands over my eyes, my elbows resting on the table cloth. I tried picturing the outcome of him being out of the picture and how my baby would be without him, I should've never done that, tears poured down my face faster than a bike going downhill. I tried keeping those loud unexpected sobs quiet so that I wouldn't wake him, but with each sob it only got louder and harder. "Paisley?!" Dominic groggily screamed from bed, I banged my head on the table, jokingly whispering to myself "thank you, emotional status." I cleaned my eyes as I walked back upstairs, "yeah?" I answered back, opening the door. "Why you crying?" I hated that freaking question, it made me cry even more every time. "It's nothing" I mumbled, he sat up in bed looking at me, " 'cause you think I'm leaving you and the baby? I been thinking, shawty. Maybe I do, not forever, but take a break. The fact knowing I'm going to be father is putting more stress on me than work does. Lets take it slow and let things be calm, okay?" I nodded my head as I wiped my eyes, "I want you to still come by at the studio, I wanna see that belly" he smiled. "Will you come to appointments too?" Asking nervously, "of course" I felt a little better at least knowing he still wanted to be part of his baby's life. "What about when it's born? Will you be there every day or just whenever?" I didn't want him to be gone, I wanted him everyday to be with his baby. "I'll be there during the birth and the 18 years we keep it." He said with a smile. He kissed me and went upstairs to get ready for the studio, I guess out break started today an it was going to be hard with not seeing him, I agreed that I felt like we needed some space but I made him decide to tell me when I could see him, because I knew if I was in control of that it would be everyday. I had to go to the doctor, get my prenatal care and checked out. I wanted to see how far along I was because I never even knew I was pregnant until the tests showed up. Dominic finished his shower after I had finished eating a pickle I had dipped in ranch dressing, well, that was one way I knew I was pregnant, Dominic laughed at me when he came downstairs, "the funny cravings starting to kick in, huh?" I rolled my eyes jokingly with a grin at him, "what are you talking about?" I giggled, "shawty, you hate pickles. You only got the jar for me" he walked over to the living room to put his shoes on, "so, maybe I changed my mind." He laughed, "listen, I gotta go now. I'll text you everyday and tell you when I wanna see you. Let me know about the doctor visits too, even if we had just seen each other I don't want to miss them. You can do it, Paisley, I know you can, through the pregnancy and the break. I love you, baby girl." He kissed my cheek, my lips, my belly and my forehead. "I love you, Dominic." I never thought I would see him walking out the door from this situation, though it was just a break from one another but still together, it hurt me deep down and trying to repress my emotional state wasn't helping. I was breaking down inside, suddenly I wasn't happy anymore, my whole right side went numb and my heart shattered. I waited for that door to busy open and Dominic be on the ground begging for me back like those hopeless romantic movies but it wasn't going to happen, I didn't live in a movie, I lived in reality. I couldn't help but wander what Dominic was thinking, if he cared at all about leaving me in this state I was in, not being able to see him for however long it would be, it was fair but yet selfish to me that he wanted time away from me when I would need him the most. Now that he was gone I knew he would constantly be in my head, playing memories or just thinking of him. No matter how hard I could try to erase the thought of him in any way I couldn't, he was permanently stitched into my head like a tattoo. I was tempted to call or text message or do both but I couldn't, it would make me seem too attached to Dominic, I really wasn't, I just wanted him back. After my shower I put my clothes back on and headed to the doctor. I was eager to find out how far along I was, I figured a few days in my head since the last time Dominic and I hooked up, it seemed to add up in my head. I signed in at the desk and then walked to a chair, I picked up a booklet about pregnancy and began reading about what I could experience. In disgust I calmly placed the booklet back down, I had learned more than I needed, the nurse then came out and called my name, getting up nervously to follow her to my examining room. She ordered me to lay down on the chair while she would get the ultrasound set up and the doctor. I laid still and patiently while I waited for the doctor looking at the pastel pink wallpaper that filled the room. The door opened and another woman walked in, she was Asian, short with black hair and brown eyes, "you ready?" She asked with a warm and sweet smile on her oval shaped face, I gave her the thumbs up and she applied the gel onto my stomach, "my, you have a bump already!" She beamed. Wait, what? I had a bump? There was no way possible if I was just a few days, bumps don't start to come until months into the pregnancy, "you're three months along! Just four more left!" She glowed with happiness. I was three months pregnant and never knew it? What the hell? How?! "I'm three months along? Really?" I asked raising my head to look at her, "yes! Look at the screen!" I turned my head to look at the monitor, my eyes couldn't believe it, on the black and white monitor was a easily viewable yet tiny formation of a baby, I couldn't believe it! It wasn't just a little tic-tac looking baby, it was a tiny actual formation of a baby. "Can you tell me the gender?" I asked curious as I stared at the monitor, "it's too early to tell, you can find out once you're five months along, dear. Do you need prenatal or any papers?" I nodded my head, still intrigued by the monitor, "prenatal" I mumbled. She gave a smile as she walked off, I Kept focusing on the monitor then back at my stomach. Oh no, Dominic wasn't getting no call, he was getting a visit by me, a very upset Paisley. Three months?! Did he even use a condom? I thought in my head, "pffft, I doubt it. Unless he did and it broke. Well, that's the whole purpose of a condom is to prevent pregnancy, they should be break-proof." She came back with a few papers, prenatal and a picture of the baby, "this should be everything you need. I'll see you next month? I'll get you a card." She walked out again as I held the stuff in my clammy hands, I quickly got out my phone to text Ben to see if Dominic was at the studio. I put my phone up right when she came back in, "so that you don't forget. Now, that is all you need. Bye, Paisley." She smiled as she held open the door for me pointing to the exit. Once I got back into my car Ben had replied back, "yea, he here," I grinned evilly as I drove to the studio. Dominic didn't make me mad, the fact he couldn't tell me the condom broke is what made me mad, which I guess was his fault. I pulled into the studio and gathered myself before walking in, I grabbed the ultrasound photo and the paper explaining the side affects to being three months pregnant that was highlighted. I slammed the door behind and confidently walked to the studio door swinging it open violently, I was about to get ghetto on this poor boy. "DOMINIC THOMAS YOUR ASS BETTER EXPLAIN THIS" I screamed walking back to the recoding area, "she went government on you, dawg," Trey joked, "Paisley, shawty, calm down" Dominic interjected, standing up. I gave him the baby picture first, "guess how far along I am," crossing my arms and stomping my foot, my checks engulfed with red from anger. "A week? Paisley c'mon you know I don't know this," he whined, "I'm three months, Dominic, three months. I have four more left and the baby's here." His mouth dropped, "did you use a condom? 'Cause you better hope that you did and it broke." Trey took the picture from Dominic and looked at it, "that's inside you?" After studying it, I lifted up my shirt to show him, "holy damn, yeah, you're pregnant."
Ummm I love this story but just on a side note... Pregnancy lasts 9 months lol so she has 6 months left
Sorry!!! Problem with my iPod. Yes, I know it was 6 months, that's a typo lol my mistake. ------------------------- The next morning my stomach woke me up, I felt sick, after I cleaned up in the bathroom I took my prenatal and then got dressed, I figured I should tell Bailey about what's going on. I called her and told her to meet me at the coffee shop downtown, I had something to tell her. I didn't know how she would take to this information, I still wanted her to be my best friend and not let it get between us but I could only hope for the best. I arrived before Bailey and went inside, I took a seat at a booth in the back trying to hide my stomach and my face, I didn't need anyone to notice me. I went into my purse and seen Dominic messaged me, I pulled out my vibrating phone checking the message; " I wanna see you in 2 weeks, Shawty " I smiled hopefully that a little part of me had healed up. "Paisley?" a whispering voice asked, "Bailey, please. This is serious, sit down." Bailey had changed in so many ways, she looked different, her hair was short, wavy and black but once the sun caught it navy blue facets beamed from her hair. "What is it, Paisley? Please tell me." I explained and told her everything, "Paisley, if the word gets out and paparattzi figure out who you are how do you think Legacy will take to that? Having his name brought up that he's a future father. Girls, fans, ex's and girls he's messed with, you think they'll be happy? Even though they don't matter they're still like what 20% of him? Paisley, you can't be with Dominic if shit hits the fan, don't talk to anyone, don't look at anyone, don't even go out. I just don't want to see you having the drama you don't want and need, Pais, you're better than all of them, you're with Dominic for a reason, he loves YOU. I know I'm rambling but I have a point, don't mess this up." I sighed, she was right. Dominic does love me, if not we wouldn't be here, I didn't like being away from him and he didn't like it either but we needed this. Being away from one another was going to make our relationship stronger, especially when he goes on tour and I don't see him for months. I didn't want Dominic to miss his child growing up; the first steps, the first words and crawling. I was already so far ahead in my pregnancy that all I worried about was Dominic not wanting his child, not being there or just leaving. I was terrified I would have a daughter and he would want a son or vise versa, I was worrying too much and baby didn't like it all. "B, I'm gonna go home. I need to relax, I just can't do this." She nodded her head, I hugged her before I took off. I figured I could stop by the store and pick up some things to help me relax. I got in my car and my phone vibrated again; Dominic, my heart raced praying it was a message I would want to read. I wished with my eyes closed before hitting 'open' and seen "Shawty, screw this not seeing each other. You my baby momma and you need me, I gotta see you and that belly, babe imma come over later." I giggled and responded "stay the night, please" and then drove off to the store.
