Asia Clarke Is Doing Everything She Can To Provide For Herself And Her Three Year Old Daughter, But When Her Ex Boyfriend Gets Out Of Jail, Asia Has No Choice But To Flee Town Before He Comes For Her.
Dex Porter Has Been In Charge Of Everything In T...
"Welcome To McDonalds...How May I Take Your Order?" I Said, Taking Orders From The Window. I Started Working At McDonalds Six Months Ago, And So Far...Everything Has Been Going Great.
"Hey Asia Do You Want To Take A Quick Little Break Or Something? I Know You're Tired Since You're Carrying A Heavy Load." My Manager, Ms. Terri, Said. I Was Now Seven Months Pregnant With A Baby Girl And Though I Am Tired...I Needed All Of My Money.
"No Thanks Ms. Terri. I'm Fine." I Said, Giving Her A Sweet Smile. She Returned The Smile And Nodded Her Head Before She Walked Away. I Had My First Doctors Appointment A Week After I Told Semaj About The Baby. I Was Five Weeks Then, But I Was Also Really Stressed And My Blood Pressure Was Extremely High. I Had To Be On Bed Rest For A Few Weeks, But Once McDonalds Called Me In For An Interview, I Got My Butt Up And Got The Job! It's Been Really Hard For Me To Juggle School And Work, But So Far I'm Doing Really Good And I Couldn't Be Any Prouder Of Myself.
"Welcome To McDonalds...How May I Take Your Order?" I Said. I Was Really Sick And Tired Of Saying This Same Old Line, But Hey...Money Is Money.
"Yes Can I Have A Large Cup Of Asia Please?" I Heard A Familiar Voice Say.
"With A Side Of Pregnant Please." Another Voice Said. I Giggled.
"Sorry... We're Fresh Out." I Said. They Laughed And Pulled Around To The Window. Of Course It Was My Two Favorite Guys...Dex And Semaj.
"What's Up Baby?" Semaj Said.
"What's Up Ugly?" Dex Said. For Some Reason...The Baby Started Kicking And Moving When Dex Spoke. I Guess She Loves Her Uncle/God Daddy.
"What Are Ya'll Doing?" I Asked.
"Coming To Check Up On You. How's Work Going?" He Asked.
"Alright I Guess. We Been Busy As Hell." I Said.
"I Believe It. What Time You Get Off?" Semaj Asked.
"Ten. Like Always." I Said, Rubbing My Stomach.
"Damn Man. That's Two Hours Away." He Said.
"I Know, Plus I Got Tons Of Homework To Do." I Said.
"Awh My Poor Baby Stress?" Semaj Teased. I Laughed.
"Forget You Maj!" I Said. Me And Semaj Have Been In A Pretty Good Place Lately And I Felt Myself Falling For Him Again. He's Been By My Side This Entire Pregnancy And He's Even Excited About Being A Dad. He Was Even More Excited To Find Out We Were Having A Girl Since That's What We Both Wanted.
"I'm Just Playing. Ima Let You Get Back To Work. I'll See You At Ten." He Said. I Nodded As He Pulled Off. I Sighed As I Pulled My Phone Out And Checked My Facebook.

Two Months Later
"Push Baby!" My Mom Said. I Cried As I Pushed As Hard As I Could. My Mom And Sister Were The Only Two People In The Room, Besides The Doctors And The Nurses Course. I Had Been In Labor For Nineteen Hours And Now I Was FINALLY Pushing.
"Give Me Another Big Push!" The Doctor Said. I Screamed In Agonizing Pain As I Pushed As Hard As I Could.
"I See The Head! She's Almost Here Baby!" My Mom Said. I Pushed Two More Times And There It Was. There She Was. My Newborn Daughter Had Entered The World And I Was Now A Mother. She Had A High Pitched Cry As They Laid Her On My Chest So I Could See. I Cried Hard As I Held Her Against Me For A Minute, But Then They Took Her.
"Wait...Where Are They Taking Her?" I Asked.
"They're Just Going To Clean Her Off Real Quick Baby. You Did So Good! She's Beautiful!" My Mom Said, Kissing My Forehead.
"Thanks." I Said, Weakly. The Nurses Came Back Moments Later And Placed Her Back In My Arms. I Smiled As I Cradled Her Close To Me And Kissed Her Hands.

"Hi Baby. Welcome To The World." I Said. She Looked Like A Mixture Of Me And Semaj And She Was Just So Beautiful.
"Can I Hold Her?" India Asked, Drying Her Hands. My Mom Made Her Wash Them Before She Held The Baby.
"Of Course." I Said, Gently Placing Her In India's Arms.
"Oh My She's Tiny." India Said.
"Right. Mom...How Much Did She Weigh?" I Asked.
"Five Pounds, Seven Ounces, And Fifteen Inches Long." She Said.
"Wow. Well She Is Darn Right Cute!" India Said In A Country Accent. I Laughed And So Did Our Mom.
"So Asia...What Are You Going To Name Her?" Mom Asked.
"Um...Eh...That's A Good Question." I Said. Me And Semaj Thought Of Different Names, But We Never Came To An Agreement. I Just Can't Believe He Missed The Birth Of Our Daughter. I Sat There For A Minute And Thought About What I Wanted To Name Here. Then...It Hit Me.
