Estranged

Without Plans

The Next Day
Merena's POV

I was sitting in a chair in my doctor's office. They had me take a blood and anytime test to see if I was pregnant. My doctor knocked on the door and walked back in with some papers

"Hello Miss Jacobs," Dr. Keoni said

"Hi Dr. Keoni"

"Well it looks like your little one is growing healthy. You are 1 month and 3 weeks pregnant. Congratulations," She said

"Okay. Thanks"

"No problem. Would you mind getting up on the table for me so we could see how the baby is doing?" She asked

I nodded and carefully got on the table and laid back. She put some warm gel on my stomach and started to take the wand and move it around my stomach. I seen my little baby and it was so small

She took pictures and wiped the cold gel off my stomach

"Baby looks good. I'm going to make your appointment for next month and get your pictures. These papers are for you," she said handing me the results of my pregnancy tests

"Thanks"

She nodded and left. She came back with my pictures and my paper with my appointment date on it. She also handed me papers with foods to keep the baby healthy. I can't believe in a matter of 8 months I was going to be a mama

"Thank you so much"

"No problem. If you have any questions just contact me and I'll answer right away. Good luck on your pregnancy miss jacobs," she said

I nodded and grabbed my purse. I got in my car and drove home. I walked in the house and walked upstairs to the room. Rock was on his phone and looked at me as i walked in

"What did the doctor say babe?" Rock asked

I handed him the test papers and the ultrasound sound pictures

"Oh wow," he said

"That's all you have to say?"

He looked at me and back at the papers. I smacked my lips and grabbed my purse and walked out. I slammed the door and got in my car. I drove to this water fountain I went to as a kid. I got out the car and sat on a bench and looked at it. I mean Rock could've said something instead of looking at me. My mind started to wander.

Does he want a baby with me?

Is he upset that I'm pregnant?

Does he want me to get an abortion?

Am I just not the one to have a baby with?

I waved it off so it didn't get the best of me. I got back in my car and decided to go home so I could get started on the girls hair. They needed it done again.

At Home

While I was cooking, I told the girls to go wash each other's hair. That was something I taught them so it could go quicker. I was going to do something new on them. I was cooking chicken strips, broccoli and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Rock came up behind me and kissed my head.

"Please leave me alone"

"Stop being like that," he said

"I have things to do. I'm cooking, doing the girls hair, and then I gotta get me situated. On top of that I'm pregnant. You act like you don't want our baby so I'm going to find an apartment tomorrow"

"I never said that. I was just in shock and didn't know what to say," he said with an attitude

"Please leave the kitchen. Get out my presence"

He left and I made Rein's plate since I was doing Royalty's hair first. I made Rock's plate and took it up to him along with a fork and a water

"Thank you," he said

I nodded and left. Rein sat at the table and I sat down on the couch and started blow drying her hair

The Next Day

I decided that I was finally going to talk to Rock because I missed him and plus we need to talk about the shop plans. I went upstairs and opened the door. He looked up from his phone and smiled

"Hey bae"

"You done being mad?" He asked

"Yes. I'm sorry"

"It's okay. Come here," he said

I walked over to him and sat on his lap and laid my head in his neck. He rubbed my back

"You forgive me?" He asked

"Yes. I do, I love you"

"I love you too

7 months later

I was now 8 months pregnant. I had someone I had met along the way watch my shop while I was at home because the baby could come at anytime. I moved out of my house and got me a small condo because I didn't like that my baby's room was too far. Rock had decided to keep his shop because me and him had broke up a while back. He wants nothing to do with the baby because he thought I had cheated on him. What hurts me is he just up and left with no hesitation. I still do the girls hair and see them sometimes. But I was going to have to prepare to raise a child on my own. A lot has happened these past 7 months. I was all alone and there was nothing I could do. I was just going to have to fight through this battle
