Josh: baby calm down, I think you might be overreacting just a little bit

Crystal: overreacting? Nigga are you fuckin kidding me

Josh: I mean is having a baby with me such a bad thing?

Crystal: YESSSS tf! We literally just got back together, we're literally still getting to know each other!! A baby is the last thing we need

Josh: [exhales] so what are you saying? Do you wanna abort it

Crystal: I don't know Josh! I don't even know if there's even a baby fr. I'm gonna set up an appointment with my Dr then we'll take it from there

Josh: okay fine. Well would you like me to accompany you?

Crystal: no!! I need to do this on my own

Josh: baby why won't you let me be there for you?

Crystal: [exhales] it's not that babe, it's just that I'm also gonna ask her to re-insert the NuvaRing and I just don't want you to see that

Josh: okay I can respect that, so uhm you ready to eat?

Crystal: not really, I just lost my fuckin appetite

Josh: you should try and eat something, especially if there's a mini Josh in there

Crystal: [annoyed] really?

Josh: [chuckles] I'm just tryna lighten the mood, is it not helping?

Crystal: NO!!! it's just pissing me off even more

Josh: okay I'm sorry, let's just sit down and eat. Plus there's something I really need to talk to you about

Crystal: [grabbing her keys and purse] can it wait? I need to get to Dr Avery like nowww

Josh: without an appointment?

Crystal: yes I'll tell her that it's a matter of life and death

Josh: [chuckles] you're being dramatic

Crystal: I'm really not

Josh: [sighs] okay well drive safely and please come by my house when you return, so we can talk

Crystal: okay I will baby, ttyl

|Hospital|

Dr Avery: Crystal my assistant just pulled me out of lunch and said you're having an emergency, what's wrong?

Crystal: my NuvaRing fell out last week

Dr Avery: [chuckles] girl that's not an emergency!! It's actually quite common if you're outchea hunching like animals

Crystal: -blank stare-

Dr Avery: okay I'm sorry

Crystal: [teary-eyed] how could this have happened??! I mean yeah we did the most but it wasn't that damn hectic

Dr Avery: maybe it was already lose, you do know you're supposed to take it out and get a new after every 3 weeks right?

Crystal: -nods-

Dr Avery: and you were scheduled to change it this week so that makes sense

Crystal: omg this can't be happening

Dr Avery: Crystal I need you to calm down!! It's really not that serious

Crystal: doc yes it is!! I could be pregnant and I know damn well I'm not ready to be nobody's mama

Dr Avery: I hate to break it to you but that's what happens when you have unprotected sex!! You're old enough to know that Crystal

Crystal: [sighs] touchè doc, anyway uhm please just gimme a new one and I'll make sure it doesn't fall out again

Dr Avery: I'm afraid it doesn't work like that Crystal, we first have to do a blood test to check for pregnancy

Crystal: no there's no need for that!! I took a plan B and Google said that it's supposed to stay in my system for upto 5 days

Dr Avery: Google is not a Dr Crystal, I always tell you this!! And plan B isn't always effective. Especially if taken too late or too soon. So uhm when exactly did you take it?

Crystal: last Friday, at like midday

Dr Avery: okay and then when do you suspect the NuvaRing fell out?

Crystal: [speaks low] uhmm on Friday night

Dr Avery: Crystal you're not making sense, why would you take a plan B today and then put yourself in a position to get pregnant literally less than 24 hours later??!

Crystal: -silent-

Dr Avery: I'm your Dr not a judge! Talk to me, what happened?

Crystal: [sighs] truth is I had sex with my ex on Thursday night and then reconciled with my man on Friday night. I know it was stupid of me, I honestly don't know what I was thinking, maybe me being celibate for too long fucked with my brain idk doc!! What I do know is that I haven't stopped beating myself up about it [crying]

Dr Avery: hey don't beat yourself, mistakes happen! We're only human after all

Crystal: I honestly thought I didn't stand a chance at getting pregnant by either of them because of the NuvaRing and I also thought the plan B was still in my system. Fuckkkk this is such a mess!!!

Dr Avery: [sighs] yeah it is but I have good news and bad news

Crystal: I'm listening

Dr Avery: bad news is we can't conduct a pregnancy test today because it's too early, we may or may not be able to detect it- it's a 50/50 chance really. So I'll set up an appointment for next week, that's when we'll find out

Crystal: [sighs] and whats the good news?

Dr Avery: good news is to remain hopeful, don't stress or panic! Maybe the plan B did in fact work and you're just stressing over nothing. BUT please DO NOT have unprotected sex this week, just so you don't further complicate this

Crystal: [chuckles] listen you don't have tell me twice!!! I'm definitely staying away from dick for a while!!

|Josh's place|

Crystal let herself into Josh's place because he gave her a key, as soon as she walks in she sees a big suitcase and some papers on the table

Crystal: [yells] Josh!!!

Josh comes downstairs carrying a backpack and he's wearing a tracksuit paired with sneakers.

Josh: hey baby, how'd it go? What did the Dr say?

Crystal: are you going somewhere?

Josh: yeah uhm, this is what I wanted to talk to you about this morning... I'm taking the next flight out to Nigeria, my mom was involved in a car accident
