Breaking The News To Lionel Again... Pt 3

Breaking the news to Lionel again... pt 3

Diamond hands Lionel the pregnancy test.

He just stands there in silence.

He has a shocked look on his face at first.

Diamond: It's positive.

Lionel doesn't say anything. He only studies the test. He goes through several emotions silently. He doesn't want to break his promise of not yelling at her again.

Breaking the news to Lionel again... pt 4

Lionel: How long have you known about this?

Diamond: I just found out a few days ago. I also got confirmation from the doctor, yesterday.

Lionel: Hmmmmm...

Diamond: Hmmm? What does that mean?

Lionel: We weren't exactly careful. Are you sure it's mine? Were you with that other guy? Jerry?

Diamond: You mean Jermaine? No. I haven't been with him since before November. The doctor says I am only 11 weeks.

Lionel: How much time is that?

Diamond: 2 and a half months.

Lionel: Well November was just 3 months ago.

Diamond: I conceived in late December/Early January.

Lionel: How do you know?

Diamond: The doctor confirmed it! My conception date was "After" Christmas on the days I called you to come over.

Lionel studies the test and walks away from Diamond. He sits down on the couch. Diamond follows behind him and watches his expression.

Diamond: Well?

Lionel: I know I was a jerk the last time. I don't want to overreact. We have been getting along better these last few months and I want to believe you, if you say the baby, is mine.

Diamond feels a bit relieved.

Lionel gestures for Diamond to sit on his lap. He takes off her shirt and holds her around her waist tightly, resting his head on her chest.

Lionel: We will take this one day at a time. Ok Diamond? Let me listen to your heart.

Diamond: HmmmmmHmm

Diamond hides her face by Lionel's ear so he can't see her tears. Maybe it won't be as bad as she thinks. 👶🏽

Reality sets in - Diamond Pt 1

Diamond makes it home after her doctor's appointment completely disappointed. She doesn't want a child with Lionel. She is going to be a single mom. There is no way to pin the child on Jermaine because she hasn't been with him, and the due date would be hard to fake.

After Diamond's shower. She lays down and tries to sleep but closing her eyes brings flashbacks of Jermaine f**king Queen and Lionel yelling at her. It may be best not to rest for right now.

This can't be happening!- Diamond - Pt 2

Diamond: You don't understand what I'm going through Tami. You are in a loving relationship. Your man probably can not wait to get you pregnant. Me? My man never answers my calls. He's cheating with prostitutes and now I'm pregnant by my old abusive boss who probably hates women. I'm nauseous all the d*mn time. Now this man here says there aren't any options for abortion. Excuse me for being hit with all these emotions at once.

Dr. Todd : This town here doesn't provide those services but you may be able to find a medical center elsewhere.

Diamond: And who said I have money to travel? My gosh. Thanks for nothing. Sir.

Diamond storms out of the office.

Tami: Omg... I am so sorry. I promise she never acts like that.

Dr. Todd: No worries. I have seen it all. It is a very stressful situation. I get it. Good luck.

Tami: Thank you so much.
