That Unforgettable Moment

Chapter Eighteen

DJ

I couldn't believe what I heard that came out of my sister's mouth. She just told me the most craziest news I ever heard. I never thought I would hear her say that so soon. My baby sister is going to become a young mother.

A lot of questions are running through my mind at the moment: What is she going to do? How will she finish school? How will mom and dad react to this? And the million dollar question is: who the f**k is the father? There is so much to process right now.

"Oh my God!" Was all that came out of my mouth.

"I know it's a lot to take in coming from me." She huffed out, but I didn't say anything else. My mouth is still open and my eyes were still widen.

"DJ! Please say something." She pleaded with me. I stayed silent as I pressed my lips for a moment more.

"Umm... when did you find out about this?"

"Just today! Me, Sasha, and Sabrina decided to link up because I didn't want to be in this house, especially with them. " She referred to them family members of ours.

"I can understand that!" I muttered to myself. She chuckled at me and continued to say what she has to say.

"And so, we went to Chipotle and ate something. After that, we wandered around the little shopping center here and there. Then, I felt the urge to vomit, and we so happen to be in front this little mom & pop café. We in the café and rushed to the bathroom. Then, I told them how I've been feeling lately. And then..." she started to cry out.

Tears were flowing from her cheeks. I tried my best to wipe them away with the sleeve of my jacket. She sniffs as she was continuing on.

"...and then they think that I am." She sobbed. "So we went to Target and got three different tests and I took them." She paused for a moment. "I took them... and they all came back positive." The tears were just falling from her eyes. She leaned on my shoulder and started to cry her eyes out. All I did was console her and rocked her back and forth.

"It's going to be alright Liyah, it's going to be okay. We all make mistakes sometimes. We're humans, we tend to do some out of mind things. I got your back no matter what Aaliyah, okay?" I looked at her.

"Okay." She sniffed out. "DJ?"

"What's up?"

"Are you mad at me?" She asked me. I sighed at her question.

"No, I'm not mad. I'm disappointed, but I'm not mad." I spoke up with honesty. We sat there in silence for a moment.

"So what are you going to do about this?" I asked her.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you going to keep it? Or are you going to..." I gestured on in hopes of her catching onto what I'm trying to insinuate. 

"DJ, you know I don't believe in abortions and I would feel guilty about giving my child away. So yeah, I'm keeping my baby."

"Okay, well like I've said, I got your back no matter what." 

"Thanks DJ!" She smiled at me.

"It's all good sis, so how are you going to tell mom and dad about this?" She took a deep breath before she answered me.

"I don't know DJ, but I do know that I'm telling them when they leave." She said referring to our Aunt, Uncle, our cousins, and Elena. "And DJ? Can you also be there with me when I tell them? I don't want to be alone when I do."

"I got you."

"Thank you."

"So, does anyone else knows about this so far?" I asked her curiously.

"Well, Sasha and Sabrina was there when I took it, so basically you're the third that knows." I nodded my head in comprehension. It was a short pause before I asked her this one final question.

"So, who is the father?" I gazed at her. She didn't say a word to me. She just sat there sobbing on my shoulder. 

"Some guy I met at a party a month ago." She wiped her tears away. "I don't know what to do DJ! I don't know how to take care of a child!"

"Look, if you want, I'll take you to the doctor to see how far along you are? If it's alright with you?" I offered to her.

"Thanks DJ! That would be great." She agreed while sniffling.

"Cool, we'll head down to the doctors the day after tomorrow alright?" She nodded her head with agreement and we just sat there in silence, embracing our presence.

~Thanksgiving~

Aaliyah

I was lying in bed resting until I woke up to an awful smell which made me want to vomit. It smells like my mother is boiling chitterlings. The scent is so disgusting that I jumped out of my bed and rushed to the bathroom with the quickness.

When I got to the door, it was locked. I rapidly banged on it so that person would hurry up and get out, before I barf in the hallway.

"Alright! Alright! I'm getting out just hold on!" That person called out.

"Well, hurry up! I got business to handle!" I bellowed.

I heard the toilet flush and the sink running. The person unlocked the door and it revealed to be Elena. "Oh... Um... Hey!" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Girl move! I don't have time to play catch up with your cheating ass!" I bombarded past her. My vomit was catching up to me that I didn't even have time to shut the bathroom door. It was just coming up too fast so, I knelt down by the toilet and lifted the seat up and puked in the toilet bowl.

It went on like that for about two minutes or so. This whole time Elena was just staring at me throwing up. I don't know why the f**k she is staring but she had an evil grin on her face. I for damn sure don't like it.

"What?!" I said all groggy and agitated. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind herself. She looked the door and turned to me with that evil grin still displayed on her face.

"You're pregnant ain't you? Little miss good girl has finally been fucking." She crossed her arms and smirked at her little analysis of me. I scrunched my eyebrows together as I tried to play her off.

"The f**k is you talking about?" I got up, flushed the toilet, washed my hands, and brushed my teeth.

"Oh don't give me that Aaliyah! I know the symptoms, I mean look at me." She turned to the side and rubbed her belly. "You'll be just like this in a few months."

"Whatever!" I scoffed after I spit the toothpaste out of my mouth.

"So does your mom and dad know about this yet?" She displayed a malicious smug at me. I got a feeling that I'm not going to like where this is going.

"That is none of your damn business! What you need to do is worry about your own damn baby that you are carrying and not worry about mine!" I slipped out.

"Ah-ha! So you are huh?!" She pointed out. "I just wanted to know when will dear old mommy and daddy know about this? When the find out that their precious little girl isn't so precious." She mocked.

"When y'all bitches leave!" I exclaimed. I tried to get past her but she blocked my way out.

"Or? They might know now at dinner tonight!" My eyes widen when she said that, but I played it off and huffed at her. I was willing to do almost anything just to get out of this bathroom, and for her not to tell my parents about my pregnancy yet. s**t, and I thought Jasmine was this petty. I expected her to do some s**t like this.

"What the f**k do you want Elena?" I gritted through my teeth.

"Oh! It's not what I want, its actually who. And you so happen to be related to him." I looked at this conceited b***h crazy. She is over here pregnant with Rayshawn's baby and she wants my brother? She's not making any sense to me what so ever. 

"Your hormones must have made you delusional. He don't want you no more!" I exclaimed to her. "He has moved on and is with Sabrina right now." I informed her.

"Are you serious? Why is he with that minor when he could have been with a real woman, like me?" She said in a conceited tone. I am convinced that her hormones are all over the damn place. My brother is good right now. I don't want to f**k that up because of this b***h blackmailing me.

"First of all, she's not a minor. She is a month older than me so she just turned 18, hoe. Second of all, you're not a woman, you're a hoe. See the thing about Sabrina is that she don't have a wondering eye like your ass do. Her eyes were set on DJ right from the start. She's been eyeing him when we were in the second grade and he was in the fourth. Third of all, unlike you, she had enough sense to reject Rayshawn's tactics when you didn't. You ruined a good relationship with DJ over some quick f**k in the porter potties. And you're pregnant ass want him? b***h get real!" I ranted onto her. She didn't say nothing to me all the moment. All she did was cross her arms and mug me.

"Either you help me get the best d**k I ever had back, or I'll announce to the whole entire family that you are baking your own little turkey in there." She grinned with deceit as she attempted to touch my belly. I smacked her hand way from me.

"Don't touch my child hoe!" I chided at her. She just laughs at me and walks out of the bathroom. I don't know what I'm going to do right now. Elena is threating to tell my parents all because her thirsty ass wants to be on my brother's d**k. 

I breathed heavily and went to my room and got my phone. I went to the only place where I can get some privacy right now: the upstairs attic. I rushed up there made sure that no one knows that I'm up here. I went to my call log and pulled up Sasha's number. I waited for her to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sasha! Hold on a sec." I put her on hold and called Sabrina up as well. 

"Hello?"

"Hold on Bri." I merged the call so all three of us can be on the line together.

"Guys!"

"What's up?" Sasha replied.

"What is it?" Sabrina replied as well.

"Y'all, I am in major s**t right now!" I told them.

"What's going on?" Sasha asked. I huffed and began to tell them about Elena's blackmail. I sighed and rubbed my forehead because I felt sort of light headed. "Elena figured out about my pregnancy so she's blackmailing me if I don't get her what she wants."

"What does she want though?" Sasha asked puzzled.

"She wants me to help her get back DJ. If I don't then she'll threaten to tell my parents about the baby." I explained to them. Sasha gasped as Sabrina was muttering in Spanish.

"Are you serious? She can't do that!" Sasha questioned as Sabrina sound furious still cursing in her native language.

"Sabrina calm down girl!" I tried to calm her but she's too riled up.

"How can I be calm she that heifer is threating to tell your business, and is threating to ruin my relationship! Uggghhh... If she wasn't so pregnant, I swear I would stomp her face in!" She gritted through the phone.

"I know how you feel, Bri. If I were you I would feel the same way too." I sighed, "What am I going to do guys? I can't mess with my brother's and bestfriend's relationship because of that bitch."

"This may seem a bit earlier than expected, but you have to beat her to the punch." Sabrina suggested. "You might have to tell your parents." I sighed and just gave into the idea. I can't hold this for long, so they're bound to find out about this anyway. "Okay, I'll tell them."

"But first, tell DJ what's going on so he won't be left out of it." Sasha informed me.

"I will." I replied back to her.

"In fact, do it right now so he'll know what's up. I'm calling him right now, even though I know how much he values in sleep." Sabrina said and she's right. DJ does not f**k around when it comes to sleeping.

"Well, while you three handle that, I got to get ready to go to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving." Sasha scoffed. "Man, I don't know why we go there." She murmured.

"Why what's wrong?" I asked her.

"It's just that my dad and my uncle Craig gets into it every time they see each other. Them two argue over some petty shit." Me and Sabrina giggled at that. "Anyway guys, I got to go. Let me know how things turn, okay?"

"Aight girl!"

"See ya!" Sasha then hangs up the phone and it is just me and Sabrina on the line.

"Let me wake the sleeping giant." It went silent for a moment until I heard his groggy voice on the other line. The phone call must have woken him up for sure.

"Hello?"

"Babe!"

"What?" He grumbled.

"We're sorry to wake you but..."

"We? Who's we?" He cuts Sabrina off.

"Me and Liyah."

"Hey DJ."

"What's going on?" He groaned.

"Tell him Liyah." I hesitated and took a deep breath.

"DJ, your old hoe is blackmailing me!" I spilled out.

"What?" He said tiring but alerted.

I explained to him what had happened earlier in the bathroom. He was pissed that his ex would stoop this low to sabotage his relationship with my one of my bestfriends.

"Liyah, we may have tell mom and dad earlier then we thought." He groaned. I don't like this, but I'm not ruining my brother's happiness because that hoe wants that old thing back. Plus she's pregnant with Rayshawn's child! How thirsty can this chick be?

"Alright, I'll tell them when you get here. But how am I going to tell Elena to forget it?"

"Just tell her that I'll go for it." He briefly said. My eyes widen when that came out of his mouth. 

"WHAT!!!!" Sabrina started to curse my brother out in Spanish. I can tell and so can he by the tone of her voice. I just sat there snickering cause I know DJ will get her for that s**t.

"Liyah? Is she talking to you? Cause I know she ain't talking to me! Who the hell you talking to Sabrina Maria Lopez? And what the f**k are you saying?" He barked at her.

I just noticed that he went full government name on her. When he said that I knew he means business. I feel so sorry for my bestfriend (well... kind of.) "Ohhh! Bri you gon' get iiiiitttt!" I cooed at her.

"Well... you see... I... um... Liyah?" I chuckled at her as she reaches to me for help. Hell, I can't save her from DJ. When she see him, she knows that she is in some deep s**t.

"Girl don't turn to me! You know you in trouble!"

"But Liyah I..."

"Aaliyah, baby sis, I need you to hang up the phone for me. I'll call you back after me and Sabrina have this conversation." He informs me.

"Babe! I'm..."

"Na-uh! No! You already know what's up! Liyah, hang up the phone!"

"I'll see you later Bri."

"Aaliyah!" I hung up the phone before she can say anything else. I giggled as I left the attic. Soon as I got out, I bumped into the second she-devil herself. 

"So? What's up with your brother?" She asked with a very conceited expression. I just simply told her what DJ want me to say to her. I just hope he knows what he is doing.

"Good! I'm glad to know that he is on board. Nice doing business with you." Elena grinned and walked away.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever b***h!" I mumbled to her and made my way back to my room. It's a good thing Jasmine is not here because I need some time to myself and I'm not in the mood to deal with her. I laid back in my bed and shut my eyes for a moment, that is, until my phone starts ringing. It was DJ calling me back.

"I see you've straightened Bri out?" I smirked. 

"Not fully cause we was on the phone, but trust me, I'll deal with when I see her." I chuckled at him. "Anyway, tell her that I'll go for it. But, when I get there we'll tell mom and dad before thing can go any further." I sighed and just said "okay" to agree with him.

"Look, I know things are going left right now. But, I'll always be there for you, okay?"

"Okay."

"I'll see you in a bit alright?"

"Alright."

"Bye.

"Bye DJ." I sat my phone on the nightstand and went back to sleep. I slept for a good hour until I felt my covers being yanked off of me. I shivered as the cold air hit my body. I fluttered my eyes opened and looked at the end of my bed. There I saw Jasmine standing over me.

"Come on! Our moms want us to help get the food ready." She said all snarky and s**t. I jumped out of my bed and got on my feet. I was mad as f**k that she interrupted my sleep. I'm not sleeping just for me, I'm sleeping for my baby as well.

"Oh you b***h!" I got in here face. "If I wasn't so.." I stopped at my tracks as I realized what I was about to say.

"If you wasn't so what?" She got in my face gritting them yellow teeth of hers. 

"Whatever!" I mumbled and shoved passed her. 

"Oh girl! You lucky I'm not in the mood to beat your ass up right now!" She said as I was walking away towards the bathroom.

"Jasmine shut up! You always say you gone beat my ass but you never do. By the way, we both know who's ass is going to get whooped between us and it ain't me." I shot back at her and stepped into the bathroom. I freshened myself up while I was in there. When I got out, I put some clothes on and headed downstairs. 

I got into the kitchen and me, Jasmine, my mom, and Aunt Louwanna were preparing the food for this f****d up Thanksgiving dinner. Man, I can't believe this s**t is happening to me.
