"Are you?" She asked, making me look down.
"Well I'm not sure if I am but I think I am." I admitted and she nodded slowly.
Though me and her were no longer as close as we were before, I figured she could help me out with this. I was too afraid to tell my mom or Dominic about my suspicions as yet.
"Well first you need to take a test and see if you really are."
"Then after that you need to tell Dom."
Biting my lip nervously, I rubbed my sweaty hands together, trying to mentally prepare myself for this.
"What do you think he will say?" I asked nervously and she raised her eyebrows, followed by a chuckle.
"If I'm being honest, I really don't know. That nigga ain't never talk about kids before."
"Right."
Nodding my head, I pushed my loose hairs behind my ear. That information made me even more nervous because it was true, the six years we'd been together we'd never really talked about children so I wasn't sure what he'd say or think about this.
"Look, I'm gon' go grab you a few test and then you can just take them. Whatever happens after that we'll go from there." She said standing to her feet and I just couldn't believe she was being this nice to me again. I was grateful nonetheless.
"Thank you, Deja." I ended up blurting out and she nodded, saying nothing else before she left.

"Come here, T." Deja came into the house calling for me as Dominic and I now laid up on the couch. He furrowed his eyebrows, looking up at her as she made her way up the steps.
"Whatchu want from her?" He asked curiously, holding onto me.
"Nigga, mind your business." She spat to him and I couldn't help but to laugh.
"It's fine, Dominic." I told him, standing to my feet.
"Na'. I don't trust it."
"Oh, shut up. We're big girls." I told him with a small smile while he slouched down into the couch more, sighing deeply.
"Aight, man."
Once he finally got out of his feelings, I made my way up stairs and Deja was waiting for me in the bathroom.
"So I got you three of them." She whispered, showing me the boxes.
"I have to take all three?" I asked, obviously new to this. I'd never had to take one of these before.
"Yeah. Just in case one says negative and then another says positive. You know.." She trailed off and I nodded.
"Okay." I agreed as she began to walk out.
"Let me know what they say."
"Okay."
Closing the door, I looked down at the test and became super nervous. That was a good thing though because my nervousness made me have to pee and I needed to pee on all three of these sticks.
