Virgin And Pregnant

02-You're Pregnant?!!

Anita's POV

"Anita" my mom says from the sofa where she's currently sitting

This is the first time in what? 2 years that she's talking to me without yelling

"Mama?" I say well more like ask...Whatever you know what I mean

"Come here" she patted the space beside her

I hope this is something good

"Yes Ma?" I ask again after I was sitted next to her

"I only want to ask this once so try to give me an accurate answer" she says, well instructs and I only nod

"Are you a virgin?" She asks like she didn't just ask that privacy invading question

"Um..Ma, I" I laugh awkwardly

How do you say this to someone you're so not close to and not feel uncomfortable?

"Just answer the damn question" she says, her voice raised a bit higher and I know she's getting irritated

I better get this over with before it ends with me getting beat

"Yes" I take in a breath and continue "yes, mama, I'm a virgin"

"Don't you f*****g dare think of lying to me" now her voice is raised a lot higher

I shake my head no and move back a bit on the sofa

"I swear, mama, I'm a virgin"

"Do you know why the Rubenstein refused to invest?" Okay, now she's yelling again

I just shake my head no

"They said they didn't want to associate themselves with people who let a pregnant woman work their kitchen all by herself" she yelled in my face

My eyes grow wide and my brows shoot up to the roof

"Pregnant?!!" I exclaim

"Yes, Anita Pregnant" she shot me daggers "and do you know what? I've noticed how swollen and enlarged your breasts have been lately"

That's cos I'm a growing child

What is the matter with mama?

"And the nausea, morning sickness, sleepiness and even laziness"

Okay, hold up when have I ever been given a chance to be lazy in this house???

I have been feeling a bit tired I'm definitely not pregnant

Hell I've never even kissed a man in my life

"Alright then you won't mind going over to the hospital with me" She smirked wickedly as if she expected me to say no

'As if' I mentally scoff

I don't know why she always hated me

My mama never treated me like a daughter

My papa on the other hand, treated me with so much love and care, he was both a mother and a father to me

He was my mapa, my mama and my papa

He told me that whatever mama was doing to me that may seem like wickedness is really just good home training

And even though, I know mama doesn't love me, I accept all she puts me through as life training

Why she hates me so much though will forever be a mystery

"Yes Ma, I'll gladly go with you" I shorten 'mama'

"Alright then, I'll be in the car, wear something presentable" she eyed my dress in disapproval

I just nod and watch her go

"Don't keep me waiting, Anita" she calls over her shoulder and I nod even though she's already out the door

I go to my basement to get something better to wear

Yeah, you guessed right, I sleep in the basement ever since papa died

***

Now, I'm in the car with mama heading to the crappy hospital

I don't use the good hospital, the one the mama and Colton use

I use one that's short on supplies and everything really

Mama says the hospital's cheap and that we don't have enough to foot medical bills for us 3 and since Colton's older, I'm stuck with this

I don't mind though, papa taught me to use natural sources to take care of myself

I do herbs and might I add, I'm really good at it

Plus I rarely ever get sick anyway

It was hard finding something to wear cos everything I have barely fits anymore

Mama was right about one thing, I'm really getting fatter which is weird cos I eat just once a day

And the last time I had balanced diet was Thanksgiving

The car comes to a halt and I look to the crappy building

I cringe a little at the sight

"We're here" mama announces as if I can't see that

Thanks a lot, captain obvious

Exiting the car, we head right for the old building

We have to wait a few minutes before we could see the doctor who was really nice to me, she took me into a small enclosed part of her office and we talked a lot, I told her how my mom thinks I'm pregnant and she told me how her mom thought the same about her at my age but as always her pregnancy test result came out negative

But she didn't have to live through what I'm living through, she didn't have to lose her dad on one school night, she didn't have to become a servant to her remaining family members while in a grieving state

She doesn't have to talk to her father's grave from time to time for the comfort that comes from it

So, I don't burden her with that, I don't tell her about what I live through everyday of my life, I don't tell her how I almost fell into depression at some point

What do I tell her then? I tell her about my dreams, my hopes, the things that make me happy

I tell her about my wish to become a mother someday and shower my children with all the love in the world and give them all the knowledge my dad imparted in me while I'm at the side of a man who loves me and values me, a man that I'll love wholeheartedly

It takes a while because of my little chat with the doctor but soon enough I get my blood sample taken and it's time to go home
