DIONNAH'S POVA couple of days later and I was sitting in a doctor's office. I needed to know if my baby was doing okay and also myself. It was only a week from the fashion show and the anticipation was taking a toll on me. I hardly ate because my appetite was nonexistent. Sleep wasn't a problem because I wanted to sleep the majority of the days.I waited for only ten minutes before I was called in to see the doctor."Good afternoon Ms. Delaney." The middle-aged man greeted. "Good afternoon Dr. Evans." I tried to smile but my lips didn't move. "And how are you feeling today?""I'm feeling great actually, the only problem is I don't have any appetite. Not for food or anything else.""That's quite common in the early stages of pregnancy. Let me check how far along you are so I can prescribe something to help you.""That would be great," I sighed. I just need to keep this hidden for at least after the fashion show. I did as he instructed and within seconds he was doing the ultrasound

MICHAEL'S POVDionnah's light snores woke me up a couple of minutes before 5 am. The room was still dark and I could see what was left of the moonlight through the window. Last night didn't go the way I planned it. I thought Dionnah would be happy to accept my proposal. I didn't even want to ask her that way. I had this whole romantic scenario planned out in my head. But our lovemaking was just so amazing, it just felt like the right time to do it. I yawned, maybe asking her at that moment wasn't the best thing to do. I shifted out of the bed and she stirred. I didn't want to wake her, but I needed to clear my head and no better way to do so than with some exercise. I pulled on some gym shorts and a gray muscle shirt and headed down to the home gym. To my surprise, the lights were on so when I entered I saw Jon, stretching his glutes. “Someone's up early," I used a towel to smack him. He jumped, he was definitely startled. “I could ask you the same thing," he laughed. He looked me u

DIONNAH'S POVIt was dinner time again, and the sight of the mashed potatoes and gravy made my stomach churn. The food was very unappetizing and I couldn't stand the the mixtures of smells circulating around me; from Michael's cologne to Dani's moisture to the glade plug-in that was next to the trash can. I just couldn't do it anymore. I felt like I was in hell and I needed to get some fresh air. Dani and Michael were tidying up so I excused myself to go outside. When I opened the sliding door to the patio the cool air hit my face making me feel much better. I sat at the edge of the pool with my feet in the water. The cool water swooshed around my feet as I slowly moved my toes around."Is everything alright?" I was startled as I heard Jon's voice."Jon, you scared me a bit," I confessed."Sorry about that. Dani is on an important call and Mike went upstairs to shower. So I decided to come see if you are okay.""I'm fine. Just a little tired." I began to rise and he came to help me s

STELLA'S POVIf I could just turn back the hands of time, I would. I wish I had never met Derick Mitchell. But I was young and dumb, blinded by the excitement of college life. I met him my first year of university. I was eager and optimistic about this new world that I had to take on. I was so excited, especially since my room mate was also my best friend since kindergarten. Gracey, who was two years our senior and also Ramona's stepsister offered to show us around campus. The tour started off by Gracie showing us the cool kids spots; like where to hang out, eat and most importantly party. After showing us the important stuff, she took us to a pizza place just five minutes off campus called Pizza Italia. They had the best pizza I'd ever eaten in my life and I made a side note that I would take my mom there whenever she came to visit. The went on after that, and Mona and I finish unpacking and soon we were past out in our beds. The next day was our first day to attend classes. Mona a

MICHAEL'S POVI must have run a dozen stoplights to get to the hospital. I zoned out Dani crying on the phone to her parents. I could hear Mrs. Delaney screaming in pain over the phone when she heard about Dionnah getting shot. Jon quickly took the phone and diffused the situation, telling the old couple that their daughter would be okay and that he'd send word as soon as he heard something. It took a lot of convincing to get them to stay put and not travel here in the middle of the night. Jon informed them that they didn't need to come until at least the morning. As soon as I pulled up into the hospital's parking lot, I was running towards the entrance with Jon, Dani, and Stella hot on my tail. I ran up to the front desk. I was bloodied and out of breath. "Dionnah Delaney," I said, the woman at the front desk assessed me with worried eyes."Sir, are you hurt?""No, it's not my blood. Can you tell me where Dionnah Delaney is?"The woman cleared her throat and quickly checked the syst
