Freak Nasty In The City

Chapter8: The Situation






"Chris, Chris, CHRIS!!!" "So What, Are You Cheating On Me With Her Is That It? Huh? You Just Been Fucking Around On Me & Think It's Okay, Well Dammit It's NOT OKAY!!!" He Still Didn't Respond To Me. I Scoffed "You're Not Even Paying Attention To Me, How Do Expect Us To Be Together If You Don't Hear What I'm Saying?" Chris Was Still Oblivious To What I Was Saying "Nigga Don't You Hear Me Talking To? What The Fuck..." He Stopped The Car On The Curb & Looked Directly In My Face. "LOOK, I'm Going To Take You To The Hospital To See If Our Child Is Okay & All You Can Do Is Start Fights & Talk Nonsense?! I Thought You Were Better Than That Terrence!!! I Know Everything Is Gonna Change Once The Baby Is Born, I Don't Know About You But I'm Trying To Make This Change For The Better Now I'm Taking You To The Hospital I Don't Wanna Hear NONE Of Your Bullshit Till We Get The GOT IT!!!" I Just Sat back In My Seat Then We Drove Off & We Didn't Talk At Till We Got To The Hospital.




We Got To The Hospital & I Got Out The Car & We Walked In, Forgot I Still Had Some Of Catalina's Blood On Me As We Sat Down. I Filled Out The Sign-In Sheet & We Got Dirty Looks. We Just Ignored Them & A Nurse Came Out To The Waiting Room & She Spoke "Terrence Robinson... Chris Brown..." We Got Up And Chris Kept Me Close To Him. The Doctor Came To Us & Looked At My Blood-Painted Outfit Then He Looked At Chris. "So What Seems To Be The Problem Here?" Chris Started To Talk "We Were At A Restaurant & My Ex-Girlfriend Comes Out Of Nowhere & Tries To Fight Her & She's Pregnant... I Just Want To Know If The Baby's Safe That's All." "Alright, I'll Be Right Back." He Left The Room. I Felt Upset At Him Because I'm Close To Convinced That He No Longer Cares For Me... I Slightly Turned My Body Towards Chris "I Just Wanna Know If The Baby Is Okay?! What About Me And The Baby?" I Questioned He Looked At Me "It's Not About You Or Me, It's About The Baby Right? That's What YOU Said Remember?" Before I Could Say Anything The Doctor Reentered The Room.







"Alright Terrence, I'm Gonna Need You To Lay On your Back." Then He Turned Around To Face Chris. "Sir You Can Wait Outside, I'll Call You When It Is Over." Chris Nodded & Left the Room. Then He Faced Me "Terrence, Are You In An Abusive Relationship?" I Looked At Him Puzzled. "What Do You Mean Doctor?" I Questioned "Well The Nurse Told Me You Had Blood On Your Dress And You Were Very Distant From For Boyfriend When You Were In The Waiting Room & He Pulled You Close To Him When You Both Walked In... So We Are Concerned For You And Your Unborn Child." "Excuse Me?" I Got Up & Looked At The Doctor "Me & My Boyfriend Are Happy & Content With Each Other He Is NOT 'Abusing' Me."







"All We Wanted to Know Is If The Baby's Okay, You and Your Nurses' Opinion In Unnecessary & Uncalled For, The Blood Came From The Bitch Who Tried To Fight Me Tried To Kick Me In Me Stomach & Slammed Me Right On My Stomach & I Whooped Her Ass And That's HER Blood On My Dress Not Mine And If I Was Being 'Abused' As You Claim Why Would Myself Or My Boyfriend Let Me come To the Hospital With Blood-Stained Clothes? Wouldn't We Want To Keep That A Secret?" He Gave Me A Blank Stare. "So Do Me A Favor & Get Some Common Sense Before You Speak Upon My Relationship With My Boyfriend... Now Is My Baby Okay?" Th Doctor closed His Mouth & Said "Yes, Ma'am Your Baby Is Fine & Healthy & I'm Sorry For The Inconvenience." I Gave The Doctor A Dirty Look & Walked Out Of The Room & Met Up With Chris In The Waiting Room Of The Hospital. "Let's Go." I Said Chris Looked Up "What Happened?" He Looked Concerned "I'll Tell You In The Car." I Said While Walking Out The Door.




"They Had SOME Nerve..." I Said Under My Breath & Chris Stopped Me In My Tracks. "What Happened Back There Ter?" He Looked So Confused. "That Damn Doctor Had The Nerve To Say That They Think I'm Being Abused By You..." "What The Fuck?!?" He Became Pissed Very Quickly "Who The Hell Are They To Claim That Shit?" "Well Forget Them, The baby's Okay, We're Okay & Everything Else Is Okay. You Can Drop Me Off Home & We'll Be Fine." Chris Calmed Down Then A Smile Came Across His Face. "You Mean Our Home." I Looked At Him Confused "What Do you Mean?" He Held Me Close

"Well, I Was Thinking About You & The Baby And How We Need To Make Sure Everything Is Perfect For When He/She Arrives So I Bought Us A House In Scarsdale & We'll Live There... Together." He Smiled But I Stood There Frozen "What? You Don't Like It Ter? "I Do, It's Just That This Is All Happening To Fast Sweetie..." "I Don't Think We Have Much Options Babe..." He Let Me Go & Walked Off, I Ran After Him Chris Look, I Love You & I Know This Situation Hasn't Been Easy On Either One Of Our Parts, We'll Work Something Before The Baby Is Born Chris." He Looked At Me. "I Really Hope So Ter Because I Want This... No, Our Child To Grow Up In A Loving & Stable Environment.""I Understand Sweetie, Let's Sleep On It & We'll Move In Together In The Morning..." "Alright."

He Smiled Like He Always Did & We Kissed Each Other Then We Drove Off. When I Got Home I Noticed My Home Phone Had A New Message On It. I Walked Over To See Who Was It From. It Was From Dr. Steinberg, So I Took Off My Shoes & Took Off My Clothes While Listening To The Message. "Terrence, It's Me Jennifer... I Got Back The Results From Your Blood Test & It Is Confirmed You Are Pregnant." I Rolled My Eyes For a Second Well DUH!!! "But That's Not The Main Reason Why I Called You Terry." I Walked Out Of My Bedroom To Hear What She Said Out Of Confusion. "It's Too Complicated To Tell You Over The Phone, Just Come In My Office Tomorrow & We'll Discuss It. Have & Good Evening Terry I'll See You Tomorrow, Bye." I Sat There Confused About Message Jenny Left My Machine I Went Back To My Room & Fell Asleep Rubbing My Belly With Worry.

Chapter 9: The Lies

I Woke Up The Next Morning Still Worried About The Message Jennifer Left Me The Other Night. What Is It That She Had To Tell Me That Was Complicated? I Went To Work As I Normally Did But When I Entered The Office I Got These Odd Looks, I Shrugged It Off & Went To My Corridor. I Was Filing My Papers Till I Got An Announcement To Come To My Father's Office. I've Never Been Inside Of Father's Office Since I Was 12 He Always Told Me That, His Office Was NOT The Place To Be If You Worked For Him. I Walked Down The Hall & Everyone Still Gave Me Odd Looks, I Took A Deep Breath & Entered His Room. He Glanced At Me "Terrence, Sit Down." I Sat Down Immediately And He Looked Up At Me. "I've Heard You've Been Seeing Someone." I Swallowed Hard "Yes I Have Been Seeing Someone." "Did You Know He Was A Convicted Felon?" "What Are You Talking About?" "Don't You Play Dumb With Me Terrence...You Know Exactly What I Mean?! "I've Heard That You Have Been Romantically Involved With A Certain Young Man For A Couple Of Months... Without My Acknowledgement."

"Yes, I Have Been Seeing Him." "Did You Know He Was A Convicted Felon?" I Paused Hard "Umm, What Do You Mean Dad?" "Terrance Don't Play Dumb With Me Young Lady... You Know Exactly What I'm Talking About!" I Froze In Silence. "He Was Charged & Convicted With Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend 7 Years Ago. Then I Saw This On One Of The Staff Members Computers Today." He Turned His Computer Monitor Facing Me & I Saw A Tabloid Picture Of Me & Chris With My Bloody Gown On Leaving The Hospital." I Looked At My Father As If I Was Calm But On The Inside I Was Terrified As Fuck. "You Know He's A Convicted Felon Right?" "No I Didn't..." He Looked At Me Sternly "Well, Since You Don't Know Let Me Tell You..." "He Was Accused & Convicted Of Hurting His Ex-Girlfriend Seven Years Ago..." I Gulped Hard. "Is That The Type Of Person You Want To Be With Terrence?" "He's A Good Guy, You Would Really Like Him If You Giv-" He Slams His Hands On The Table Startling Me.

He Sat Back In His Seat Trying To Process What I Just Admitted To Him. "You're Getting An Abortion..." "WHAT?!" I Stood Up In Protest. "This Is My Child & I'll Decide Weather Or Not I Want To Keep It & Decided I Want To Keep It So Enough." I Was Heading Out the Door But He Got Up & Blocked Me. "You're Barely Out Of College & Barely Had A Career, What are You Going To Do With A Child? Especially When You Are Not Married To The Man Who Fathered It? If He Truly Loves You He Would Do The Right Thing & Provide A Stable Environment For The Baby..." "We're Moving In Together Today, So You Don't Have To Worry About That..." I Motioned To Leave But He Still Stood In The Way. "That's Not What I Mean Terrence, I Mean He Should Marry You If He Is The Father Of Your Child... It's Only Right." I Gave Him A Blank Stare.

"I'm Not Trying To Pressure Him Into Marrying Me... It's Bad Enough Women Want To Use Him For His Fame & Money..." "But You're The Mother Of His Unborn CHILD!!! My God Terrence You Need To Use Your Brain Sometimes... Because If You Did I Highly Doubt You Would Be In This Predicament If You Did." I Scoffed "I Have a Doctor's Appointment I Have To Go. I Pushed Him Aside & Stormed Out Of His Office, I Turned Around For One Last Time & He Had A Worried Look On His Face. I Was Angry At The Fact He Wanted Me To Have An Abortion... Are You SHITTING Me?! Why Would I Do That? I Was Pissed Off But I tried To Calm Down For The Baby's Sake. I Drove Over To Dr. Steinberg's Office To See What She Had To Tell Me. I Was Worried, I Didn't Want Anything Bad To Happen To Me & Chris' Baby. I Walked In Her Office, Her Assistant Greeted Me With a Smile. "Hello Terrence, Jennifer Has Been Expecting You, Please Have A Seat." I Sat Down On The Comfy Couch In The Waiting Room.

"Do You Need Anything Terry? Some Water?" "No I'm Fine, Thank You Though." "Alright." I Was Sitting Out There For 10 Minutes, It Felt Like Hours. Then Jennifer Came Out Of Her Office To Greet Me. "Hey Terry, You Can Come In Now." "Oh Alright." I Said With A Monotone. I Was Too Nervous To Be Happy About Anything. "What Is It That You Called Me In For Jenny... Is The Baby Okay?" I Looked At Her Nervously. "Everything With The Baby Is Fine, I Just Wanna Talk To You About The Father Of Your Child..." Before She Finished Her Sentence I Got Up Rapidly "You Know What Jenny I'm Done Listening To This Bullshit... Everybody Has Something To Say About My Love Life Dammit!!! First Karina, Strangers, My Dad & Now You?! I'm Tired Of It... When Will You Just Leave Us-" "He's Cheating On You Ter..." She Said In A Subtle But Firm Tone. "What?! Where'd You Read That One Off Of TMZ Or Some Shit Jenny..." "No, He Got Another Woman Pregnant... I'm Legally Not Supposed To Say Anything But A Woman Came Into My Office & We Found Out She Was Pregnant. Then She Showed Me A Photo Of Her & Chris Together Kissing & It Was A Week Ago. I Felt I Had To Tell You... She Didn't Know I Was Your Doctor Too, I'm Sorry Terrence."

She Frowned I Just Sat Down Slowly. "D-Do You Know Her Name?" Jennifer Lowered Her Head. I Looked At Her Angrily "Jenny, What Is Her Name." I Said With My Voice Slightly Breaking. She Took A Deep Breath & Sighed. "Her Name Is Catalina Ramirez..." I Face Grew Cold As I Got Up From My Seat. Jenny Got Worried & Approached Me Before I Left Her Office. "Terrence, You Don't Need Chris In Your Life To Take Care Of This Baby... You Have A Good Head On Your Shoulders & A Solid Career To Fall Back On, I'm Sure You'll Be Okay." "But You Don't Understand Jenny... I'm Not Gonna Let This Go." I Walked Out Of Her Office Steaming Mad & Then I Remembered I Was Moving In With Chris Today I Will Have To See Him Anyways & Just Grew Angrier & Angrier At The Thought Of Him Fucking Catalina Behind My Back After Everything We've Been Through. I Pulled Up To The House Chris Gave Directions To Earlier. It Was A Beautiful, White House With Emerald Paneling & Really Long Drive Way, 4-Car Garage, 2-Story House. I Was Amazed But I Was Not Gonna Let That Keep Me From Confronting Chris.

"Do You Like It Babe?" He Came Outside Smiling Like Everything Is Peachy, So I Faked A Smile Right Back At Him. "Yea, I Love It... Is Anybody Else Gonna Move In With Us Or Something?" He Looked Puzzled "Naw, What Do You Mean?" "Oh... How About Catalina & The Fact She's Pregnant With Your Baby?!" "Oh Terrence, Don't Sta-" I Cut Him Off Immediately "No, Chris I'm Tired Of Letting You Have Your DAMN Way!!! Now I'm Gonna Speak & You're Gonna Listen..." He Rolled His Eyes At Me. "I've Been A Good Woman To You Chris... I've Never Asked You To Spend Money On Me, I've Never Put Our Business Out There & I Never Forced Or Seduced You Into Having Sex With Me. I'm Tired Of Trying To Get Explanation Out Of You Either You Fuck Me Or Change The Whole Subject, Now You Can't Do Either One. Why Were You With Catalina Behind My Back?" "Are You Done?" Chris Said Sarcastically Said That Just Pissed Me Off Even More."CHRIS, I'm Not Fucking Playing With You!!! You got Another Woman Pregnant & You're Not Taking This Shit Seriously..."

"Why Should I? Catalina Fucks Everybody So It Could Be Any Nigga's Baby." "Where Did You Find Out Shit Anyways?" "Don't Worry About All That Breezy. Just Know That I Don't Tolerate That Bullshit." "Well Damn Terrence, We Weren't Official During This Whole Thing It Was Just Sex...That's It." "No, You Told Me You Loved Me..." "No, I Loved Having Sex With You & I Didn't Even Want The Damn Baby I Just Wanted To Make You Happy & Do The Right Thing. It's Not About What Either Of Us Want Cause It's Obvious I Didn't Want This Shit!!!" He Started To Walk Away From Me I Ran up Grabbed His Shoulder & Forced Him To Turn Around & He Grew Angry.

"You Are NOT Gonna Walk Away From Me & This Situation Chris You Gonna Talk To Me..." "I Don't Wanna Fucking Talk To Your Ass, Yea I Fucked Catalina Behind Your Back & Yea I Might've Gotten Her Pregnant But I'm Doing This All For You & I'm Tired Of You Putting Me Through Hell Over It." "Putting You Through Hell?! You Have The NERVE To Say I'M Putting You Through Hell?" He Crossed His Arms. "How About Me Fighting Off People Telling Me Why I Should NOT Be With You? How About Me Having To Fight Catalina's Ass In A Restaurant... Dammit Chris I Fought Her Ass In A Damn Restaurant!!! And The Fact That I'm Gonna Be Labeled A 'Baby Mama' & A Whore For The Rest Of My Life... Yea, I'm Sorry That It's Been Hell For You Christopher." "Listen, I'm Sorry I've Been A Jerk To You & Us Arguing Is Not Gonna Solve & Plus It's Not Healthy For The Baby, We Attract Unwanted Attention Out Here..."

"I Don't Give A Fuck!!! We Need To Talk About This Shit!!!" "TALK ABOUT WHAT?!? I TOLD YOU WASSUP & WHAT'S REAL, WHAT THE FUCK ELSE YOU WANT FROM ME?!?" He Screamed At Me, I Started To Tear Up & He Just Realized That He Screamed At Me. "Terry I'm Sorry." I Started To Cry, He Motioned Towards Me & I Cringed A Little He Held On To Me Tight." "Terry, We Screwed Up & All We Can Do It Set It Right For Us In The Future..." He Kissed Me On My Forehead & Rubbed My Back. All I Could Do Was Cry, He Never Yelled At Me Before, Yea He Raised His Voice To Me But He Yelled At Me. My Thoughts Were All Scrambled I Couldn't Think Straight At All. I Just Want This All To Be Over Or Just Be A Bad Dream, But It's Far From That...
