*Phone Rings*

Tami: Got my deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste....

Tami: Hey baby. No I am about to catch a flight to sign the salon contracts...yes....I...let me call you back. Uh.. 2 days. Ok. Love you.

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. 👶🏽

Tami: Hey ladies, how is everything going out front?

Samara: There is a supply we need you to approve when you get a chance.

Shanice: The contractors just got done installing the sinks. The contractors moved the spa tables and chairs upstairs.

Terrie: I feel like the steam room is still incomplete. I will continue working on it.

Tami: Ladies, I have another business meeting. I need all decorating and renovations to be put on pause. I need you to focus on the clients for now in my absence.

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER ROUNDUP Lately, I've been thinking about all the amazing stories and legacies that've influenced who I want to be as a writer. I realized that I wanted to share the ones that I've loved most over the past month or so, and hopefully inspire others to share what inspired them! In no particular order, here are my November and December loves.

Forever In Between (18+) by @rebouks

Forever In Between has always been one of my favorite stories on tumblr, and it's usually what I read through to get myself back in gear and inspired to write! Becca puts so much love and passion into each line-- every character is rich with humanity-- it's hard not to get swept away.

WARWICK: Chapter III (16+) by @warwickroyals

Ayanna is truly a master in storytelling, and showcases her work through the sims in a way I'd never thought possible. Reading her posts is like stepping into a film. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you love devouring stories the same way I do!

Questioning: Identity by @lotuso3o

As part of Lotus' sixth gen in their whimsy stories legacy, they crafted this gorgeous post about Mariah's gender identity. I am a huge lover of any editing style that exudes warmth, and this one wrapped me up in a cozy blanket. Lotus' post is absolute perfection, it could be its own short story.

Nightlife Series (18+) by @nightlifeseries

Everything about the Nightlife Series brings out such nostalgia in me. It reminds me of of all the late night romantic, dramatic, and wild shows that were strictly off-limits growing up. This series has twists at every corner-- there's even a YouTube series to watch, too! I absolutely love coming back to it, and can't wait to see what happens next.

This can't be happening!- Diamond - Pt 3

Diamond is powerwalking out of the medical center, leaving Tami behind.

Tami: Wait up Diamond!

Diamond: *sniffling* What. I'm going home.

Tami: I had no idea .....

Diamond: I just need some time to think things over. Like.. I still have to tell Lionel. You know he was angry the first time. Then you know I miss Jermaine but ..... *crying hysterically*

Tami: I know... come here.... *hug* Just go home. Get some rest. Call me when you wake up -Ok? I will be there to check on you.

Diamond: Ok.... Thanks girl.

Diamond makes it home to rest
