back in. He held a bottle of Pepsi and a cup of ice.
    He held the cup out to her, “It’s only ice. The nurse said that was all you could have.”
    Joy took the cup and sat it down on the table. She rolled on her side, turning her back on him.
    “Look, Tanya just showed up at my door, right before you came. She was crying begging me to take her to the train station. She said that she was staying with her man at his apartment. She said she had no place to go but back to New York because her man left one day and never came back. She stayed in his apartment until the manager threw her out.”
    Joy knew that Tanya was talking about Rob. “You expect me to believe that?” She said still trying to play hard; she knew Kevin was telling the truth.
    “She told me what happened with Shawn. I almost believed you for a second about the baby and not being with no one else but from the way you acting I know that shit’s true.” he stared at her with his face twisted up in disgust.
    “Kevin, it’s not what you think.” she heard herself say and winced. She sounded like he did a minute ago.
    “I don’t know what she told you but what I said is true.”
    “Joy if this is my baby I want to be with you. I’m tired of the games. I want a family and I hope that’s what you want. I can’t keep dealing with this shit from you. I must be a crazy nigga for wanting to have anything to do with your ass. You ruined my life but I still have love in my heart for you.”
    Before Joy could respond, the doctor came in.
    “Hi Miss Williams. I’m the Resident OBGYN here tonight. My name is Dr. Cook. We tested your blood and urine and they both showed that you are pregnant. Can you tell me how far along you are?”
    “I’m not sure.’ Joy said nervously and looked at Kevin.
    “When was the date of the first day of your last menstrual cycle?”
    “I can’t remember. I had a lot going on.” Joy said embarrassed.
    “Okay. So I take it you have not had prenatal care.”
    “No.”
    “We will perform a vaginal exam on you and then I’ll do an ultrasound to make sure the baby is okay.”
    “Okay.”
    On cue the nurse wheeled in the cart with the supplies. Joy looked at. There were gloves, large q-tips, some other sticks with looked like wire on the end, some packets that said surgical lubricant on them and a large plastic object that looked sort of like a shoe horn.
    The doctor made small talk, trying to get Joy to relax. She explained the reason for everything she used. She handed everything to the nurse who would send it to the lab. When the nurse came back she pushed a machine in. It looked like a computer with different color buttons.
    Dr. Cook plugged the machine in and turned it on. She then lifted up Joy’s gown, exposing Joy’s stomach and put some petroleum jelly on stomach. Kevin who stepped out the room to give the doctor room to examine Joy came back in. Joy was excited. They watched as the doctor rubbed what looked like a funny shaped mouse on Joy’s stomach.
    At first she moved in side to side. They stared at the screen. When she found the baby she stopped and pressed a harder in that area. She stared for a while.
    “This is your baby’s arm and here is a leg. Wow, this little one is moving like crazy.”
    The doctor pressed some buttons and lines came on the screen. She measured the baby’s head and body. Okay, judging from the size of your baby, I will say that you are about 11 weeks and 3 days. Your due date is December 4.”
    Looking at the screen, Joy couldn’t believe that she was looking at her baby. She couldn’t even think of the words to describe the feeling she had. She never felt this way before, a true and deep happiness. “Eleven weeks is about right for it to be Kevin’s,” Joy thought and looked at Kevin. He had tears in his eyes.
    “Do you know what it is?” Kevin asked.
    “It’s still to early to tell. In a few more weeks you will be able to find out.”
    “It looks like a boy.” Kevin
