and waited for the call to connect. “Ric Gotti!” I yelled as he answered the phone. I was juiced to finally be able to talk to my nigga.
    “What’s good, Jae Money?” he said, his voice sounding just as happy to hear from me.
    “Shit, sitting here with Lex about to go to this doctor’s appointment and finally find out what the hell this baby is that I’m carrying,” I laughed. “Hey, Ric, how you holding up, my nigga?” Lex asked.
    We both got up and I grabbed my purse as we headed out the door, still talking to Rico all the way to the doctor’s office. Rico had to call back like three times because they ended each call after about 15 minutes but I just couldn’t get enough of talking to him. Out of all the guys, Rico and Laela were the closest and he was really taking it hard, especially being locked up and away from the rest of the Squad; but I assured him that I would send him pictures of the baby every other week and make sure that his daughter Baby J and my child would have a bond as well. We told Rico that we loved him and would talk to him soon. I wouldn’t be able to visit Rico for like a year considering that I had just been locked up and it’s against policy to have been recently incarcerated and visit an inmate but I would make sure that my presence would always be felt.
    Lexis and I walked into the doctor’s office and I checked in and took a seat. I was nervous as hell and anxious all of a sudden. I should have brought a snack and a water with me because I was hungry as shit. Talking to Rico had made me forget to grab my snack bag off the kitchen counter and now I couldn’t wait to get out of here so that I could eat. I was fiending for some Everett and Jones barbecue, so this doctor needed to come on. Just as I started getting restless, the nurse came out and called my name.
    “Good afternoon Miss Johnson, right this way.”
    Lexis and I followed the nurse to the back as she instructed me to step on the scale. I had gained 14 pounds. Since I had gotten home, all I did was eat and cry. That’s why my ass was as big as a house now. After leaving a urine sample, I was pointed to my room where Lexis was already waiting.
    “Alright, you can get undressed from the waist down and the doctor will be in shortly.”
    I slipped off my joggers and panties and placed the paper sheet over my lap as I laid back on the exam chair and let out a deep breath. I was nervous as hell.
    “So what you want, Jae? I hope it’s a girl. She’s going to be so cute.”
    I laughed at Lexis because she was so sure that it would be a little girl but I wasn’t. “I don’t know. In Tone’s last text, he said it was a junior, so I think I want a boy just because I know that was his wish.” Just then, there was a knock at the door. “Yes,” I said out loud.
    “Hello, Jaeda. I’m Patricia, your nurse practitioner, and you will see me during the rest of your visits, as well as Dr. Marshall who is out sick today but I will be with you from now until delivery.” She was an average height blonde woman who looked to be fairly young and she had a great energy about her that calmed my nerves. She asked me a bunch of questions about how I had been feeling and she looked over my chart from while I was in the hospital and locked up. She said that I was much healthier than what I was charted to be a few months ago and I was relieved to hear that.
    “Alright, so layback and we can find out what you’re having.” I lay back and watched as she pulled out a wand-like instrument and a gel substance. “Alright, we will let the gel warm some and then get started. What are you hoping for?” she asked.
    “A boy,” I said.
    “Girl,” Lexis blurted out.
    We all laughed as the machine turned on and the lights were dimmed. “Okay, so let’s see what we can find. Hmm, so here you see your baby is already in position and you are 36 weeks and about 2 days and you know that your baby is fully prepared to come at any time now?” I
