I arrive at my apartment the following day…. I smile with love but then fall to my knees…. The pain… the belly pain… shit… shit… somehow I forgot I had sex yesterday… the pregnant pain… the pregnancy pain… ahh… ah..
I struggle to stand up; as I cry… yes… yes… I am certain I am pregnant. I continue to sulk; stiffened to the ground; unable to move. Now I know what it’s like for any mother-t-be to go through… I was a painful baby in the womb if you ask my mother….
I try… I try to stand up; as I fight through the pain… I sit on my red-like sofa; my most favourite piece of furniture in the apartment. Sure it cost more than a bargain; but it was worth it… everyone has a perfect addition to their house… and the red sofa is mine….
I lay on the lounge; like I was shot by a bullet… I…. I need to get a pregnancy test… but I can’t move… I uh… oh oh… I vomit…
I didn’t have time to go to the bathroom… the vomit spits everywhere from my mouth straight to the carpet… staining the carpet…. Damn… damn I’m so annoyed… the carpet cleaning is going to be hell…. Even now when I’m fuckin pregnant…
I leave the vomit… with my immovability keeping me with still to the red sofa…. I… I need some rest…86Please respect copyright.PENANAnhafvU3KRH
