That Unforgettable Moment

Chapter Twenty

Aaliyah

Yesterday at my parents house was a complete disaster. First it was my cousins coming by, and then Elena's hormonal slutty ass spills out my s**t to my parents, IN FRONT OF EVERY DAMN BODY! It was just too much to bare yesterday. 

Moral of the story, my parents kicked my ass out. Well, they didn't kicked me out initially, they basically gave me an ultimatum: If I stay, I have to terminate my pregnancy. If I don't then I'm no longer a resident in their home. I'm pretty sure it's a no brainer what decision I've made. 

I am not getting an abortion under any circumstances, so I packed an overnight duffle bag and headed out the door never looking back. Now, I'm staying with DJ until I can land on my feet.

I woke up early since I was vomiting like crazy all morning. "Man, I can't wait until this passes over." I mumbled to myself as I was rubbing my belly in circles. DJ is going to take me to the doctors tomorrow to see how far along I am. I honestly can't wait to see it and hear its heartbeat. I'm kind of excited for that.

Right now, I got pretty hungry so I went downstairs in the kitchen to see what DJ got to eat. To my surprise, he ain't got s**t in this b***h. I need to let him know that we need to go grocery shopping later on. 

"I need to eat something." I pouted to myself as I closed the refrigerator door. I huffed and made my way upstairs to DJ's room. When I got there that, nigga was sound asleep. He was snoring so damn loud he was call hogs and s**t.

"DJ!" I called him but he didn't say anything. 

"DJ!!" I called him but he didn't say nothing.

"DJ!!!" I semi yelled this time. He groaned and shifted in his bed towards my directions. 

"What?" He said all groggy and agitated. He started to sit up and wipe his face to wake himself up.

"Nigga, your niece or nephew is hungry as f**k and you ain't got s**t up in here!" I placed my hands on my hips and rolled my neck. 

"Girl shut up!" He smacked his lips then threw his pillow at me. I looked at him stunned as f**k. Like, I know he did not threw his damn pillow at me! 

"I know you did not just throw a f*****g pillow at me?!" 

"I sure the f**k did! What are you going to do about it?" He asked squaring me up.

"Nigga, don't make me hurt you!" I squinted my eyes and pointed at him.

"You ain't finna hurt shit." He retorted as he was getting up. "We'll go grocery shopping later on today. Right now go get dressed, we'll go to IHOP and eat breakfast there." He said as he was making his way to his bathroom.

I clapped my hands ecstatically and had a big ass smile on my face. He knows that IHOP is my favorite breakfast place of all time. "You do love me big bro!" I awed at him.

"Girl would you go on and get ready!" He shouted from his bathroom. I chuckled and made my way to one of his guest rooms, which now has became my room. I decided to go all black today. I put on a black t-shirt with some black tights since I felt like I've gained a few pounds. For the shoes, I decided on wearing my black and white retro 12's.

I've made my way to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I still had my braids installed so I put it in a bun at the top. 

I checked myself in the mirror and noticed that I've got a little pudge in my stomach. Oh great! I've just found out a couple of days ago and I'm already showing! I thought to myself. I then sleeked my edges into swoops and applied to lip gloss. I did one take in the mirror to see if I look alright. I then started to head out of the bathroom.

"DJ come on! We're hungry as f**k!" I shouted to him as I was coming down the stairs while checking my phone. I scrolled through i********: and saw that some episode stories has been updated. I was about to go to the episode app until I got a call from Sabrina.    

"Hey girl what's up." I responded through the receiver. 

"Hey Liyah! How did everything go?" She asked referring to yesterday. 

I huffed through the phone. "What do you think happened?"

"Aww girl I'm so sorry." She said in an apologetic tone.

"It's alright Bri. I had it coming anyway, you know? So don't even worry about me."

"Well, what happened anyway? How did it turned out?" She asked with concern.

"Well... they kicked me out. Now, I'm staying with DJ until I can land on my feet."

"Really? Wow!!" She replied with shock.

"Yeah, but I wasn't going to tell them this soon after just finding out. In fact, I wasn't even the one that told them." I groaned with irritation.

"Who told them then?" 

"That trick Elena! She spilled out all of my s**t to every damn body. Not just my parents! EVERYONE THAT WAS THERE! I mean I would expect this from my cousin Jasmine's ass but Elena... Chile I just want to choke the living s**t out of her regardless if she is pregnant or not." I paced back and forth.

"I'm telling you Bri, as soon as I have this child, I'm coming after that b***h!" I hissed.

"You know I got you chica. If you ever need to tag team you I'm with you." Sabrina gestured.

"Thanks girl cause chiiiiiillllleeee" I dragged the word out. "I am dying to jump and I felt froggy yesterday too, but I got a tadpole forming in me so, unfortunately I'm going to have to wait." I said as I soon realized that DJ is still not ready!

"DJ hurry the f**k up! You making me and the baby starve with your slow poke ass!" I shouted towards the stairs.

"Shut up! You and that greedy ass niece or nephew of mine can wait a minute or two!" He yelled back. I reared my head back like he lost his damn mind or something. I am cranky, hungry, and pregnant and that is not a good mixture for me right now. 

"Man you got me all the way f****d up nigga! I'M HUNGRY! I WANT TO EAT!!!! Your punk ass is standing in the way between your pregnant sister and her food, s**t. HURRY THE f**k UP!!!" I bellowed at him.

"Man, I thought girls usually take this damn long to get ready to go some where?" I asked generally.

"Usually." Sabrina chuckled, "Where are you guys going anyway?" 

"Well, your boyfriend ain't got s**t up in here to eat so we're going to IHOP. You want to come?"

I heard Sabrina scoffed. "I keep telling DJ to keep his fridge stocked up. Anyway, yeah I'll go with you guys. I'm kind of hungry myself." She said nonchalantly.

"Alright meet us over there then."

"Okay, see y'all over there."

"See ya." I hung up the phone. As soon as I hung up I heard DJ coming down the stairs.

"Took your ass long enough." I scoffed at him. He stood there and mugged me. He nudged his head and told me to come on. I followed him towards the door.

"Oh! Bri said that she is meeting us over there as well." I told him as we were getting our jackets. "A'ight." He responded back.

We put on our jackets and headed out the door. We got in DJ's car and he pressed the button to start the ignition. He backed out his driveway and drove off. As I was riding, I felt my phone vibrating and heard it ding as well. I looked at my phone and I saw that it was Sabrina texting me.

From Sabrina: Sasha is coming with us as well.

To Sabrina: Okay cool.

From Sabrina: Randy is coming along too.

To Sabrina: What?!

She didn't reply to me after that. All I did was slouch back in my seat feeling unease. 

"Oh my God!" I sighed.

"What's up?" DJ glanced at me then back at the road.

"Nothing."

"Don't say nothing when it's something  now spill it." He persuaded me.

"Look it's nothing. It's just that Sasha is coming as well and she is bringing her boyfriend."

"Why you tripping over that?" He asked with confusion.

I inhaled deeply and began to tell him. "It's just that Sasha's boyfriend happens to know my child's father. Even though I found out that I'm pregnant two days ago, I can already see that I'm showing alittle." I looked down at my pudgy stomach. I lifted my shirt up to show him.

"I mean look DJ," I pinched my lower belly roll a little bit. "Look how big I'm starting to get!" I whined.

Luckily we stopped at a red light so he can take a quick glance at me. He sucked his teeth. "C'mon Aaliyah, it's not even that noticeable."

"Well you're not the one carrying a baby here so what do you know?" I squinted my eyes at him. DJ shook his head and blew air out of his mouth as he proceeds to drive as soon as the light turned red. 

"Whatever!" He murmured. "So, how do Sasha's boyfriend know your baby's father anyway? Who is he by the way, since you're saying that her boyfriend knows him?"

"I told you he is some guy I met at a party a month ago. Oh, and her boyfriend is also Sabrina's cousin as well." I informed him.

"Wait what?" He asked stunned.

"Yeah..." I trailed off.

"So you mean to tell me that Bri's cousin is Sasha's boyfriend?" I nodded my head yes.

"And he also knows your baby's father." 

"Yep." I said as I popped the "p."

"Well damn." Was all he could say as we were pulling up to IHOP. We got in the restaurant and waited for the rest of the them to show up.

"So what's her cousin like?" He asked me.

"Well from what she told me, them two are pretty close with each other. He seems more of a brother to her than a cousin." I shrugged as I explained as he nodded his head with assurance.

"So, how you and Sasha meet him anyway?" He started the conversation back up.

"Same place where my child was conceived." I told informed him. He studied me for a while until we heard the door swish open. We looked in that direction and saw that it was Sabrina walking in and she immediately spotted us.

"Hey chica!" She smiled and hugged me.

"Hey boo!" I smiled and hugged her in return. She then made her way over to DJ and wrapped her arms around him.

"Hey babe!" She greeted him seductively. She hugged and kissed him passionately. They went on like that for a full damn minute.

"Alright now, s**t! We in a public place, damn!" I said all grossed out. DJ broke the kiss and he mugged me.

"Would you stop c**k blocking me! I haven't seen her in a couple of days. Damn!" He nagged. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Nigga! You is a public place and mouth f*****g one of my bestfriends! Kissing her like y'all haven't seen each other in years." I muttered with a cranky attitude. 

"You must be carrying twins or something, cause your ass over here acting hella extra." My brother scrunched his face. I was about to go over there and slap his ass across the face, but Sasha and Randy just walked in. I prayed to God that he wouldn't notice my new appearance.

"Hey guys!" Sasha greeted us.

"Hey!" Me and Sabrina replied in unison.

"DJ my nigga! What's up!" Randy said dapping DJ up. All three of us looked absolutely confused at them two as they were making conversation.

"What's up." DJ replied. 

"You two know each other?" Sabrina asked them two pointing in between them.

"Yeah babe, me and your cousin work together." DJ said.

"Babe?" Randy asked confused as f**k. "What's up with you calling my little cousin babe?" He asked curiously.

"Well... see... what had happened was..." DJ trailed off scratching the back of his head. I simply chuckled at this fool.

"Oh, you know me and you are going to have a few words about this, right?" Randy said seriously. Sabrina scoffed and rolled her eyes at Randy. I could tell she was really irritated with him right now.

Randy then turned his attention at me. "What's Aaliyah! It's good to see you." He made his way over and hugged me.

"Wait a minute, bruh, how do you know my sister?" DJ asked him.

"This is your sister?" Randy asked with a stunned expression. He then turned his attention towards me and studied me for a moment. It started to worry me because I was hoping he wouldn't notice anything different about me. 

"Um... well... you see bro, I met her at Ice's party a month ago." Randy mentioned to him. I started to get worried if DJ would catch on.

"Oh." He shrugged if off. I sighed in relief, and soon the waiter came and escorted us to our table. He then handed us our menus. 

"Can I get you guys started with anything to drink?" The waiter asked us as he was getting out his notepad.

"Yeah, I'll have some Orange Juice." DJ said.

"Yeah me too with a side of water." Randy replied.

"I'll have some Cranberry Juice, please." Sasha said.

"Hot chocolate for me." I informed the waiter.

"I'll have the same as she." Sabrina nudged her head towards me indicting that she wants the same thing as me. The waiter wrote down our drink orders and walked away.

"So DJ?" Randy spoke to start a conversation. "When you start dating my little cousin?" He asked. 

"Randy, leave us alone!" Sabrina exaggerated.

"No it's cool babe, I can handle him." DJ informed her. "We've been seeing each other for going on a month now."

"Almost a month, huh? So what intentions do you have with her?" Randy pressed on and Sabrina scoffed at her cousin's antics.

"Nigga what is this a damn interview?" DJ inquired. 

"Hell f*****g yeah it's an interview here! I need to know that you ain't playing her, cause if you do... I'll just have to kill you." Randy shrugged like it was nothing and DJ just sucked his teeth.

"Come on man it ain't like that. Listen, I've been feeling Sabrina for quite some time now, but I didn't pursue it due to the age thing. However, now that she's legal I went on head and took my shot. And I intend to keep her as long as she lets me." DJ said swiftly and kissing Sabrina from her cheek to the crook of her neck. She giggled as he was doing that.

"Alright, enough of that!" Randy intervened to break them two up. "Anyway, okay, you saying what I like to hear so far. But you know actions do speak louder than words, DJ." 

"I understand what you saying bro. I'm letting my hoe days go. My eyes are only set on this beauty here." DJ smirked at Sabrina and she looked flushed as ever.

"Yeah, a'ight, but just so you know we ain't done here. I just don't have any other questions to ask right now." Randy replied back to DJ and started toying with Sasha by nuzzling in her neck and she jerked away.

The waiter soon came back with our drinks and placed them right in front of us. "So, have you guys decided on what to order?" He inquired us.

We all picked up the menus and looked at what we wanted: DJ ordered the Big Steak Omelette. Randy is getting some French Toast. Sasha ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes. Sabrina is getting the Simpler Plater, and I got the Chocolate Chip Pancakes with a side of Hash Browns, Bacon, and Over Easy Eggs.

They all looked at me with a blank expression. I don't know why they are staring at me like that because almost everyone at this table should know that I'm eating for two now.

"What? I'm hungry, s**t!" I said all agitated, afterwards, they resumed back to whatever they were talking about. As for me, I decided to go on my phone and read a chapter on Episode Interactive to occupy my time. As soon as the episode ended, our food had came and mine is looking mouthwatering and I couldn't wait to get into it. I did a quick prayer over it and I began to get into it.

I seasoned my eggs and hash brown with salt and pepper because it was tasting kind of bland. I also put some ketchup on my hash brown as well.

"So DJ, you going to Ice's opening for his new club?" Randy asked DJ. My eyes grew wide open because I was shocked to know that DJ associates with my child's father some how. I sat there feeling kind of uncomfortable about it.

"I don't know man, I get too caught up with my rounds, so I don't know for sure. Also, I don't want to leave my sister at home anyway." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll be fine, DJ." I sad cutting into my pancakes with my fork.

"You sure? Cause in you condition you can be..."

"I'll be fine, DJ!" I cut him off before he says anything further. 

"Alright." He responded unconvinced.

"Well, I hope you come to this one because that last one was... um... mandatory. But then again, it might've been best if you didn't show up anyway." Randy stared at me. I cleared my throat having the urge to use the bathroom. 

"I... um... need to... uh... use the bathroom real quick." DJ got up so Sabrina can slide out to let me go. I went into the bathroom and got in one of the stalls. I went in and did my business. I wiped myself and flushed the toilet after I was done.

I got out of the stall and washed my hands. I tore off a couple of pieces of paper towels and dried my hands. I threw the paper towels away and got out of the bathroom. When I was stepping out of the narrow hallway, I accidentally bumped into someone. 

"Oops... Sorr..." I cut myself off as I look up to see who it is. Just my luck, it so happens to by Randy.

"It's cool, though you just the person I want to talk to anyway." He told me. I was confused as to why he wants to talk to me. Talk to me about what exactly?

"Why? What for?" I questioned him.

"What I want to know is..." He shifted himself against the wall. "When are you going to tell Gavin about the baby?"
