CHAPTER 29

Galaxy

“Oh, look, Galaxy, it’s really a baby in there!” Nova said.

She moved closer to the TV mounted to the wall that showed my baby. Well, not really my baby, but an ultrasound of my baby.

“Aurora! Look at the baby--”

Nova stopped talking to Aurora, who sat against the wall watching me with a big smile on her face. Both my sisters were excited to be aunties and couldn’t wait to spoil the baby growing inside of me.

“Galaxy, what are you naming her?”

“I don’t know,” I shrugged. The ultrasound tech handed me a towel to clean the gel off my stomach. I wiped it off, fixed my shirt and struggled to get up. “I don’t plan to name her until I see her.”

“What the hell am I supposed to call her when I talk to your stomach for the next three months?” Nova asked.

“Rora calls her ladybug,” I said. “You can call her that if you want.”

I took the pictures from the tech, and she walked out the door. This would be my last ultrasound and I’d only gotten this one because I begged my OBGYN for it so I could have a few more pictures for my baby book.

“Is that why your baby shower theme is Ladybugs?” Nova asked.

I nodded my head and got off the table. We gathered our stuff, and I went to check out. I set up my next appointment, making sure that at least one of them was available to come with me. Neither had let me do anything alone since the day I found out I was pregnant. After Aurora told me my test was positive, she laid with me in the bed while I cried. Nova came over after I’d cried myself to sleep, and we came up with a game plan. I had no idea how I was going to raise a baby, but I knew I wasn’t going to do it alone.

“Yep,” I answered. We left out the doctor’s office and got on the elevator. I looked at myself in the reflection of the elevator door. “Y’all, I don’t look pregnant.”

“Sure in the hell don’t,” Nova agreed. “I hope I have the same luck if I ever have a kid.”

“You’re not,” Aurora said.

I busted out laughing because I was thinking the same thing. Nova would be the girl that looks six months pregnant when she was only two months along. Her body shape and height made sure of it.

“Yo’ ass gonna be one of those women that have ten- pound babies and they come two or three weeks late because they’re comfortable.”

“And that right there is why the only niece you will ever get is from Galaxy because you’re not about to jinx me like that.”

At 30 weeks pregnant I was just starting to show. The doctor said it was because of my height and the fact that this was my first child that I was barely showing. Majority of the time, I wore an oversized t-shirt and you would never be able to tell I was pregnant.
