Love me or Leave me

Chapter 12

A week later trying to come to realization of what has happened over the past week, Dom just holds me at night while I cry,

Sitting at the breakfast table today getting frustrated because I'm feeling sorry for myself Argh why is this so hard I have +- five and a half months before this baby comes I need to have money to support my own child.... I am trying to find a way to tell Aunty Sally and Dom that I am leaving

This morning after my chat with Dom our friends Meg and Kat came over and we told them what is going on. Megan kind of cut me off because in her own words were "Tiana I'm sorry but a friend having a baby on her arm just isn’t going to cut it you should have removed it when you had the chance” Kathy looked undecided but left with Megan anyway.

That's the last time I'll see them after Aunty Sally heard that and kicked them out of the house, Dom and I fell over laughing on the couch, if you saw that go down you'd be on this couch too, just as we stopped her mom yells "stay the hell away from my family you don't deserve them as friends if this was you they would be by your side no matter what" and she slammed the front door closed

That was it, we broke out in laughter even more as she chuckled joining us on the couch, I got in a serious tone it’s now or never

"oh Aunty Sally I just want to say thank you for everything but I got a waitress job today its 2 hours away so I'll be moving tomorrow I found a place to rent there I will be out of your hair soon" I say

"are you crazy your pregnant you can't be on your feet 24/7" she reply's with a serious look on her face I put my hands in the air look at Dom for help she knew this was coming I had told her just before our ex friends came she gets up saying "sorry I'm out I agree with my mom on this T"

"not fair Dom" I mouthed at her while she turned away laughing heading into the kitchen.

I looked straight at Aunty Sally in her eyes and said "I thank you for everything you have done for me and my baby but I need to land on my own two feet I can't have someone take care of me my whole life, I'm grateful that you took me in at my worst but I need to learn to do this on my own"

she tries to say something, but I cut her off

"you have been nothing but kind to me since school you took me in when not even my parents would accept me and I need to do this I will still be here until tomorrow we can celebrate mama bear"

She looks at me with tears in her eyes "I'm so proud of you, you are doing something that most people in this life wouldn't be able to, you have to grow up so early but I understand my child should you need anything, anything at all please just ask"

I lean forward and pulled her into a big hug.... "thank you, mama bear" I say with a genuine smile on my face.

Heading to Dom’s room I can hear she is crying

"please don't cry you are always welcomed to visit Dom but I need to do this for myself and your future God child" she looks up at me the tears coming down her cheeks wiping them she asks "I'm going to be a God mother"

I nod as she changed her sad face to a crazy person in less than 10 seconds and jumps up in the air on her bed screaming 'yippee' we both collapse on the bed laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dom brought me down the next day to finally accept the job and helped me move in she loves the place as much as I do my new boss gave me the keys the same day so I could settle in before I have to start work I've made a new friend just joking he is the same age and will drive me to my doctors’ appointments well technically his mom told him he will be taking me because she is my boss after all and his mom, we not actually friends yet as we just met but hopefully we will become that, his name is Jake he was shocked when he heard I'll be working there, getting the town house and that I'm pregnant....

I have a one-bedroom town house close to the doctors, work and a church my house as you walk in there is a passage way that leads to the lounge - on the left is a guest bathroom then you get the kitchen I have a few steps to walk up to my bedroom but it has an en-suite bathroom that will make my life a whole lot easier

I got the place at a huge discount curtesy of my boss it’s her friends place and was a fixer upper but it’s mine a place that I can call home, it also has a little garden at the back and that's where I'll be playing with my little bundle of joy....

It’s my first night in my own place and its really quiet without Aunty Sally and her family I miss them, Dom couldn't stay as she took the day off to bring me here so she had to get home for work tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment it mandatory, it’s to check up how far along I am, I skipped the initial one as I just haven't had the money to go as I was staying with Dom and I didn't want to ask for money too, this appointment is free so I can get a look over fill in paper work because it will be where I give birth I have a few more months before baby arrives Aunt Sally bought a cot and some baby stuff to help me out so I don't have to stress to much about that Dom will bring it when she visits again.

I must say I have been welcomed with open arms and I feel like breaking down just thinking how my own parents gave up on me but I can’t, I have to stay strong for my baby growing in my tummy.

Dom has already planned it all when baby is a month away from due date, Dom said she will be coming to stay here for a bit to help me out she already bought a pull out couch and an extra small cot so baby can sleep close to her, she wanted to be here for the appointment tomorrow but work has told her she can’t take two days yet as she plans taking a full month off.

feeling sleepy I switched the lights off and closed my eyes hoping for a good night sleep
