All Chapters of Love On Ice: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ayana exclaimed, “Three months!” as she gazed at the ultrasound.“Thirteen weeks to be precise,” I replied. “So, how are you feeling?” She asked.“I’m a mix of emotions—happy, confused, and reckless,” I replied.“You’ve been tossing around them panties like the world is ending,” she teased.I cut my eyes at her.“It’s good, isn’t it?” she laughed.I couldn’t help but laugh along with her because she was right. It was incredible. My body had betrayed me at every turn.“What did Eric say?” She asked.“He’s thrilled about having a son,” I said.“I’m getting a nephew!” she exclaimed, barely containing her excitement.I leaned back on my elbows and for a moment, I imagined a life with Eric. Our son running in the yard while Eric chased him, and I yelling at them to be careful, as I bake cookies or sip lemonade. It looked so beautiful and heartwarming.….*ERIC*I knew Jamira had been throwing up. I had seen her do it twice before. She kept brushing it off as an upset stomach, so I didn’t

*JAMIRA*When I arrived at work, I promptly headed to the Principal’s office to inform the administrators about my news, as per protocol. Mr. Greene congratulated me, and the rest of the office staff echoed the sentiment.He also suggested that the committee organize a party to celebrate my pregnancy, which essentially meant I would be hosting my own party. However, I don’t have the time for that.I arrived at class, and Malaysia was teaching the kids geography. They appeared genuinely interested in learning about various places and eagerly colored their worksheets.I genuinely appreciated her efforts. She exceeded my expectations. Working with her was always enjoyable and filled with memorable moments.By the end of the day, the kids were assigned projects, and they had a very productive day. The class was dismissed when I felt a gentle hand grab mine. I looked down to see Kayla. She was always so sweet and reserved. I cherished having her as a student because she quickly grasped con

Ayana, who had a day off, suggested brunch after hearing the recent news. She always knew how to lift my spirits when I was feeling down. She reassured me that everything would be okay and that I’d make it through. But the real issue was that I still didn’t know who had caused all this trouble.“There you go again,” she said, watching me play with my food, lost in thought.“What?”“You’re so preoccupied that you can’t even enjoy a day out with your best friend.”“Yana, it’s just… who would cause me to lose my job like that?”She placed her hand on my back and gently rubbed it. Then, her phone buzzed, and she looked at me.I looked at her confused because I couldn’t understand why she was looking at me like that.“Look who showed up.”I turned my head around, thinking it was Jeremy (because when the hell will I meet this guy), only to be gravely disappointed.“Oh hey Simone,” I said uninterested.“Damn, we haven’t seen each other in months, and that’s the best you can do?”She and Ayan

*AYANA*I can’t lie Simone got down with that one. She was never one to speak like that because it was out of her comfort zone. She genuinely cared, but she never openly expressed her feelings for everyone. However, she wasn’t lying. I’ve been saying the same thing. Mira really needs to let that man go. She found someone who might actually care about her, and she’s still holding onto baggage. Like, girl, pick a struggle.She’s still my girl, and I love her with all my heart, but she needs to wake up sometimes. Just know that, right or wrong, I’m always here for her because our bond is strong. And I’m my sister’s keeper.Keema, on the other hand, can jump into oncoming traffic. I’m so tired of trying to connect with her. She just needs to come clean and stop messing with people’s men. It’s like if they’re available, she doesn’t want them. She’s a gutter mouth ass hoe. At one point in college, she tried to go after a guy I liked. Thankfully, we never went further than project partners.

*ERIC*Every day since Jamira’s appointment, I couldn’t stop staring at the ultrasound she received from the doctors that day. I had Jamira cut off the last picture so I could take it with me.The feeling was surreal. I was going to have a son. I could barely contain my excitement. I had offered her to stay with me so I could be there for them. In case anything happened, I wouldn’t have to drive across town to get to her. I would be there for her. She hadn’t given me an answer yet, but I knew she would eventually.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still have my doubts, though. Jamira was the type to try to suppress her issues while trying to figure them out herself. The problem was, she was terrible at hiding them.So, to prepare Kacie, I talked it over with her. Not to get permission, but to make sure she knew what was going to happen.Kacie was on the couch when I spotted her.“Where’s Kayla?” I asked.“She’s with Mom for the weekend. She said she missed her and Dad.”“So, what are yo
