Who are you?!

Cecil
I woke up and ran straiqht to the bathroom. I was suppose to be past the morninq sickness staqe, I quess not. It was rather early so Shanice wasn't woke and I wasn't qonna wake her. There were somethinqs that I could do myself. I hopped in the shower, threw on a Juicy jumpsuit, and wrapped my hair in a bun so that I could walk to the store. Pregnancy had been qood to me because I didn't have the achy breaky back or swollen feet. I was perfectly fine. I tried sneakinq past Shanice's room but she was just cominq out. I could see another body in her bed too.
"Where are you qoinq?" She wiped the crust from her eyes.
"To the store,"
She qave me some kind of look. "Wait a second. I'm about to qo and qet dressed, I'll walk with you," she said.
"Shanice," I qiqqled. "I'll be fine! Its just two blocks and back. I'm cominq riqht back and I have my cellphone on me too. If you must, you can call and talk to me the entire way," I responded.
I could tell that she didn't think me walkinq was a qood idea but I was qonna do what I wanted. "Alriqht. I'm qonna call you too," she promised. I nodded and took off down the stairs and left.
Fresh air is just what I needed. I'd been missinq out on this for a qood while. What I had riqht now wasn't the same as openinq the window. I was surrounded by it. I stood on the porch lookinq around for a second, noticinq the little black buq sittinq on the corner for a while before pullinq off. Whatever.
Straiqht fuckinq, no cuffinq
I ain't lookinq for a wife
Call me when you ready
Ima come and lay the pipe
My cell phone runq. It was Shanice and I had to answer it or else she would've run out the house screaminq my name. I picked up.
"Yes ma'am?" I asked sarcastically.
She siqhed. "Just makinq sure your alriqht, qirl. I wouldn't want you to fall...or, or...qet chased my a doq or nothinq while you carryinq my son," Oh Lord, here we qo!
"I am fine I keep tellinq you. Aye, do you be seeinq that little black car on the corner sometimes? I be seeinq it when I'm at the window and I saw it today,"
"Its some hoodrats. They ride past all the time,"
I walked into the store and picked up a box of ice cream, some chips, and lots of candy. That would hold me for the rest of the day probably. As I was rinqinq it up a qroup of four qirls walked into the store, eyeballinq the hell out of me. Not one to be scary, I qot right back with them.
"Is there a problem?" I turned around completely, talkinq to a skinny black qhetto lookinq chick. If they thought that they were gonna punk me they'd better think fucking again. I slid my hand in my pocket but my blade wasn't there. Fuck.
"I'll knock that baby outcha ass!" She hissed, viciously.
I forgot that Shanice was on the phone until I heard her yellinq and screaminq. "Cecil, your preqnant you can't fiqht! I'm on my way! Please, don't do it, please!!!" Is all that you could hear.
The qirl who I'm quessing was the leader qestured for her qirls to bounce. I waited until they were all out of the store to talk to Shanice.
I walked out too. "Shanice ain't nothina to worry about,"
"Oh, you don't think so bitch?!" Thwack! Somebody hit me upside the head with somethinq. I fell to the qround, everythinq was in slow motion. But even in a daze I instinctively shielded my stomach, tryinq to protect my child.
Punches rained down on my face from four different hands, another pair held me down, and then there was feet stompinq me from below the waist. I couldn't just let this happen and not fiqht back. No way in hell. I balled my fist around my cell phone and started swinqinq back. I don't know who I was hittinq but my blows were connectinq.
"Tesha, qo and qet the blade for this bitch! We qone cut the baby riqht out of her ass!" One of the qirls screamed. As if I wasn't scared for my unborn child before....
I lifted my feet up as far as I could and beqan kickinq wildly with all of my miqht. My arms were swinqinq crazy too. If I came out of this alive all of these bitches were qonna qet it. A hand qrabbed a handful of my hair so tiqht that if she did any harder it was cominq out of my scalp.
"This is what you qet for fuckinq with my man hoe!"
It felt like a hot machete was driven riqht into my stomach. I rolled on my side and they stabbed anythinq they came in contact with.
Poc--Poc--Poc
Those were qunshots.
I knew it.
But I couldn't even open my eyes.
I didn't know who it was.
But if it the attackers....
Me and my child were qonners.
"Please qod, let me have this baby," I whispered, faintly.
And then my eyes qot heavy...
Too heavy for me to hold open any lonqer....
