Page 53 of Her Loyalty

Sitting on the couch, I relaxed and ate more crushed up ice. It was the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. I was now 3 days past my due date with no idea of when Amiri was going to come out of me.

"So how about we talk about how we lost our virginities?" Hailey blurted out as me, her and Deja all sat in the living room while the guys ended up sitting outside on the porch so they could smoke.

Deja and I looked at each other before she bursted out laughing and I couldn't help but to chuckle. This girl was so green but she was cool nonetheless.

"Well I'm technically still a virgin." Deja went onto say, making me look at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"What?" I laughed.

"Really?" Hailey gasped and she nodded.

"Yeah, I ain't never fuck on no nigga." She turned her lip up and I sat there in shock, completely surprised. I hadn't even really thought about it like that.

"That's gay as fuck." She went on, making us laugh.

"I guess that makes sense." Hailey nodded while I couldn't stop picking my brain at the fact that she was actually a virgin.

"Wow." As all I said, chomping down onto my ice.

"How about you, T?" Hailey went onto ask me and I shrugged, not interested in playing this game but I knew I needed to take my mind off of things so I did anyway.

"Well Dominic is my first." I told her and her eyes went wide.

"Really?" She gasped as I nodded slowly while Deja couldn't help but to laugh.

"Shut up, Deja." I told her, already knowing why she was laughing.

"What?" Hailey smiled, wanting to know why she was laughing.

"I caught they dumb asses the first time." Deja blurted out, making me smack my lips.

"Really?" Hailey looked at me and I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. It was at their old house and me and Dominic were doing it-"

"Well we were trying to do it and she walked in on us." I laughed, thinking back while Deja shook her head.

"Did you beat them?" Hailey asked her and she couldn't help but to laugh.

"Na'. I made them stop though."

"They was young as hell like 17 or something, they ain't no what they were doing. Plus ain't nobody want to hear that shit." She went on as Hailey laughed hard and I shrugged.

"How was it though? Like did it hurt for you?" She went onto ask me and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Girl, what are you a virgin or something?" I couldn't help but to ask because of her crazy questions and she couldn't help but to laugh.

"Hell no. My first was with a black guy in college." She scoffed.

"But you know how it's always different for other people." She went on, making me nod.

"Right. That's true." I nodded slowly.

"Well yeah, it actually hurt really bad for me." I admitted, still eating my ice.

"For at least like the first three times then after that it got better."

"Damn. The first three times?"

"Yeah. I feel like it was because every time we tried I was so nervous so I'd like make it worst for myself."

"I just needed to relax." I flagged, reminiscing.

"But honestly when you're a virgin, you can't really relax especially not with this huge thing about to go inside of this small ass hole."

"Come on." Deja shook her head, obviously not wanting to hear this about her brother and I.

"Oh shit. I forgot, I'm sorry." I laughed as Hailey did the same.

"But yeah, that's how it happened." I shrugged and she nodded with a smile.

"And now we have wittle Amiri." She spoke to my stomach, making me smile before it quickly fell once I felt moistness flowing threw my sweatpants.

"Fuck." I gasped, dropping my ice.

"What's wrong?" They spoke in unison as we all looked down at me dripping from the couch to the carpet.

"Oh shit."

"Go get Dom." Deja told Hailey before she quickly ran out of the house.

* 10 minutes later

Deja sped quickly onto the freeway as I sat in the backseat, crying my eyes out.

"What's wrong, baby?" Dominic asked mushing his head into my neck as I bawled, wanting to fight him right now.

"Whatchu cryin' for?" He spoke softly, leaving small kisses.

"Don't touch me. Don't kiss me." I sobbed as he continued to kiss my face while tears fell from my eyes rapidly.

"I'a stop but you gotta talk to me and tell me how you feelin' baby."

"Talk to your man." He coached as he finally stopped and allowed me to lean on him.

"Gon' head. Tell me what's wrong."

"I'm scared." I sobbed softly, leaning into him and he let me cry on his chest.

"I don't want to do it." I spoke softly and he chuckled.

"Na' you got this, T. Don't even worry about it."

"No." I whined and he pulled back to make me look into his eyes.

"What I say?" He asked as I poked my lips out.

"You're strong, baby. You got this shit." He encouraged and I shook my head.

"Yes you do."

"And when you push my little man out, guess what I'm gon' give you?" He asked and I sat there thinking before I spoke.

"Another one?" I asked sadly and everybody in the car laughed hard as I sat there with a serious face.

"Na' baby." He chuckled hard, shaking his head.

"But I got a surprise for you." He said once his laughter died down and I raised my eyebrows.

"Really? What is it?" I couldn't help but to ask.

"Can't tell you. You gotta push my little man out first." He said as I felt the sharp pain in my stomach return and I sat back in the seat, turning my face up.

"How long, Dej?" He went onto ask Deja.

"10 minutes."

"T your moms called and said she there already." She went onto tell me and I nodded.

"Okay." I spoke barely above a whisper, breathing in and out slowly.

It didn't take long to get to the hospital, when we did, everybody rushed out of the car and Dominic slowly helped me.

"Wun' me to carry you?" He asked as I waddled in pain, holding my aching back.

"No, I'm too fat." I whined as he chuckled and I looked at him with angry eyes, making his smile fall.

When we finally made it into the hospital, I became completely nervous once it seemed as though everyone was looking at us.

"Aye, can we get some service in this bitch?!" Leek yelled throughout the place as we walked in about 10 people deep.

"Calm down, Sir. What's going on?" A nurse quickly made her way over to us.

"My nephew tryn' come into this fucked up ass world that's what gon' on." Zay spat, making everybody laugh.

"My water broke." I explained softly, breathing in and out rapidly as she looked at me sympathetically.

"Okay. Come on, honey." She said to me as she grabbed my arm.

"Where's the father?" She asked, looking around at everybody and Dominic stepped out of the large crowd of people.

"Alright, right this way." She explained.

* 1 hour later

"Okay, mama. So you're only 4cm dilated." The doctor explained to me.

"So we'll come back in a few to check again okay?"

"Aight, doc. Thank you." Dominic said to her as he ate a candy bar my mom had brung in here for him and I sat there looking at him in disgust.

"Oh she does not like you right now." My mom joked, once she'd saw the look I was giving him.

"What I do?" He asked with a smirk and I sat there with a grimace on my face.

"How can you hold all that attitude in that little body?" He joked and I didn't crack a smile but my mother and Deja thought it was the funniest thing.

Turning my face up another sharp pain went through my body as I sat there praying for it to be over, rocking my legs in and out.

"Fuck." I whined.

"Baby." I called out.

"Na' she wun' a nigga." He joked as he quickly stood to his feet and made his way over to me.

When he did, he placed his hand over my stomach and massaged slowly. I then snatched the candy bar out of his other hand and threw it across the room.

Looking down at me with his lips gaped, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Stop fucking eating in front of me." I cursed him out as my mother and Deja bursted into fits of laughter.

"That's what your ass get." Deja continued laugh, shaking her head.

"You know what, I'm only gon' let you slide cause my little nigga got you mean as fuck right na'." He smirked as I roughly pushed his hand off of my stomach and he began to walk away from me.

When he did, I started to cry hard and he sighed deeply as my mother and Deja watched as if this was all entertainment for them.

He then made his way back over to me since I'd started to cry. He placed his hands on my stomach again and began to massage me.

"I love you." I told him as the contraction finally died down and I got the chance to relax my body.

"Yeah. I love you too, ma." He shook his head with a scoff, still rubbing.

"Even though you jus threw my candy for no reason."

"I'm sorry." I poked my lip out and he nodded.

"Aight, baby. It's coo." He smiled, leaning down and kissing my forehead.

..18 long hours later

"Push, baby. Push." Dominic encouraged as I sat there pushing for the life of me.

"You gotta push, baby."

"Okay, we're going to need two more and then baby Amiri will finally be here." The nurses instructed as Dominic looked down there to see the progress and his eyes went wide before he quickly came back up to me.

"Shit, why the fuck did I do that?" He said to himself as tears rolled from my eyes.

"On the count of three, Tiana." They said as he wiped sweat from my forehead.

"1..2..3."

"Ahhhh!" I screamed hoarsely, all cried and screamed out as I pushed as hard as I could.

"That was good, baby." Dominic expressed to me.

"That was really good." The nurse coached as well.

"One more okay?"

"One the count of three.." She said as I geared up for the last push.

"1..2..3."

"Fuckkk!" I pushed as hard as I could, feeling instant relief.

"He's here!" Was all I heard the Doctor say.

After that, all I could hear was cheering and Amiri's cries. While I laid back on the bed, looking up at Dominic as he kissed my lips and wiped the sweat from my face.

"You did that shit, baby." He smiled widely, looking down at me."

"You did that shit." He continued to say and all I could do was smile.

"Damn, I love you so much." He shook his head as a tear fell from his eyes.

"I love you too, babe." I spoke softly.
