"Terrence You Don't Sound Or Look Too Good At All." Karina Got Up Grabbed A Whole Bunch Of Paper Towels & Wiped My Face Off. "I Heard About You & Your Little Singer Terry." I Rolled My Eyes, Everybody Gets In Everybody's Business At Work Ugh. She Tilted My Head Towards Her. "Listen To Me, Because I'm Gonna Keep It Real With You... If You Are Pregnant I Doubt He's Going To Stay With You." My Face Looked Insulted At Her Statement. "Terry I Know You Think He's Gonna Be With You Forever But He's Not... He's Too Into Having His Way With Many Other Women To Settle Down, In Fact Most Men Like That Don't. I Wouldn't Be Surprised If To Him You Were Just Another Notch On His Belt Or A Number In His Little Black Book, He Saw An Independent, Strong Woman Who He Perceived To Be Young & Naive & Used That Fact To His Advantage. Terry Don't Get Mad At Me I'm Just Calling It Like I See It, He's A Player Ter Just Leave Before It Gets Too Deep." Karina Got Up & Walked Out Of The Bathroom.

When I Left The Bathroom My Boss Came Towards Me, He Looked Concerned... Well That's What Dads Do Right? I Turned Around & Walked Towards Him. "Terrence, What Happened Back There?" He Said "I Just Got Sick From A Bad Breakfast Sir, Nothing Substantial." I Couldn't Tell Him That Was Dating Chris, He's So Damn Overprotective That My Prom Date Almost Go Shot When Trying To Pin the Broach On My Dress. So Him Finding Out That I'm Dating Chris & That We're Sleeping Together Was DEFINITELY A No-No. "Are You Sure Sweetheart?" He Looked In My Eyes. "Yea Dad, I'm Sure... Could I Take An Early Lunch Sir?" "Yes sweetheart Go Ahead." He Smiled, I Smiled Back "Thanks Daddy, I Mean Sir." He Laughed & Walked Back To His Office. I Quickly Ran To The Pharmacy & Bought 5 Of The Most Expensive Pregnancy Tests I Could Find. I Ran Back To My Apartment & Took The Tests. I Waited For 10 Minutes To See My Results & I Saw Pregnant... I Ripped The Other Test Out & Took It Again I Saw The Plus Sign & Panicked I Ripped Out The Test & It Said The Same Thing.

I Slowly Got Up From My Bed & Walked Slowly To The Door & I Opened It. Chris Had That Big Goofy But Beautiful Smile On His Face & Huge Bouquet Of Flowers In His Hand, I Just Stood There Smiling A Little Bit & Allowed Him In My Apartment. "Hey Babe." I Kissed Him On His Lips & I Took The Flowers Out Of His Hand & Put Them In A Vase. He Looked At Me Puzzled "What's Wrong Honey?" I Took A Heavy Sigh "Umm, We Gotta Talk Chris." He Looked Concerned. "What Is It The Flowers Because I Can Always Go & Get You Better Ones, I Could Just..." I Stopped Him In Mid-Sentence "No, No, Its Not That Baby Just Sit Down I Gotta Talk To You About Something, Something Important." "Oh. Okay." There Was Still A Sense Of Worry In His Voice But Smiled In An Attempt To Reassure Me But I Saw Right Through That. "Chris, Don't Be Too Alarmed But I'm Pregnant..." His Smile Dropped A Little From His Face. "Wow..." He Looked Down Without Saying Anything Further. "Wow? Is That All You Can Say Chris...Wow?" I Looked At Him Puzzled.






"Well Damn Terrence What Do You Want Me To Say? I'm Happy? Well I Don't Know What The Hell We're Gonna Do, I Don't Wanna Have Kids This Early In Our Relationship. We've Only Been Dating For 6 Weeks, What The Hell Ter?" I Grew Angry At His Words "Listen Alright, I Didn't Get On Top Of Myself & Had Unprotected Sex By Myself Okay. We Made That Decision, You Stopped Wearing Condoms & I Stopped Using My Pills. We Made That Decision TO-GETH-ER." He Stared At Me Hard. "And Besides Weren't You The One You Said You Wanted To Start A Family?" I Questioned "Yea I Did, But Not Like This..." I Was Confused "Like What?" I Questioned With My Arms Crossed " Didn't You Claim To 'Love' Me? Maybe That Message Wasn't Properly Conveyed To Me." "You Know What I'm Not Gonna Argue With You, I'm Out." He Tried To Walk Out The Door But I Ran Past Him Quickly & Blocked Him From Leaving.






"You Will NOT Leave Here Until You Talk With Me About Us & This Baby Cause It's Not About How You Feel Anymore, It's About All Three Of Us. I'm Pregnant With Your Child & We Need To See How This Is Gonna Affect Us As A Whole." "If It Is My Baby..." Chris Said Under His Breath But I Heard Him. "What Did You Say?" I Looked At Him. "Did You Just Questioned Fathering Our Child?" I Quickly Became Enraged "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?" "So Now I'm Trying To Trap You? Is That It?" He Felt Guilty For Saying What He Said "I Didn't Mean It That Way It's Just, That This Is All Weird To Me. We Haven't Even Been Together For 2 Months & You're Pregnant I Don't Know How To Feel Right Now." I Scoffed Then He Moved Forward & Looked Me In My Eyes. "Look Why Don't I Throw A Party For You & We'll Celebrate Okay? I'm Not Sure What To Think Right Now Is All, I'm Sorry Baby Okay." He Kissed Me On My Forehead. I HATE Whenever He Does That Shit Always Calms Me Down.






"Okay Babe, I'm Sorry Too." We Kissed Each Other & He Looked At Me Again. "We Should Think About Moving In Together." I Froze Like Ice "My Father Doesn't Know We're Together..." "Then We'll Meet Him & Tell Him The News, What About Your Mother?" "Umm, She Died 5 Years Ago..." "I'm Sorry About That Terry." He Frowned A Little "It's Okay, I'm Sure She Would've Loved Ya." We Kissed Each Other Again & He Started To Leave The Apartment. "I'll Take You Out Tonight Baby, You Deserve It." He Smiled, I Couldn't Help But Smile Back At Him. "Okay, I'll Hold You Up To That." I Walked To The Door & Closed It Then Went To Sleep. Nightfall Came And I Woke Up To My Cell Ringing & It Was Chris, I Picked It Up And Answered It. "Hello?" "Hey Baby, Are You Feeling Okay?" "I'm Fine Honey Just A Little Tired But I'm Okay. How About You Babe?" "I'm Just Waiting On You..." He Laughed A Little. "Oh Shit, I Forgot we Were Supposed To Go Out Tonight. Just come Up I'll Be Ready In 10 Minutes." "Okay Ter Imma Be There." I Hung Up The Phone & Ran Into My Closet & I Got Out This Beautiful Cream Dress Chris Bought Me For Our Month Anniversary.





I Put It On & Noticed It Got Tighter In the Hips & Waist Area, Looks Like I Gotta Get Used To Wearing Bigger Clothes Till The Baby Is Born. Chris Was Knocking On The Door & I Opened It, He Looked Up & Down My Body. "You Look So Amazing Baby He Kissed Me." "Thank You Honey, Looks Like I Gotta Start Buying Maternity Clothes. We Laughed & We Got Into Chris' Car & Headed To The Restaurant, I Secretly Started To Worry About Me & Chris' Future. We Had NEVER Argued Like That Before & It Scared Me. Did He Really Mean What He Said? I Hope Not, I Shook Off The Thought & We Entered The Restaurant & We Calmly Sat Down Waiting For Our Waiter. "I Just Want To Know That I'm Here For You & The Baby Ter, Its Just Gonna Take Me A While To Adjust To Becoming A Father... I Still Love You Baby." He Said While Touching My Hand. I Smiled At Him & He Mirrored Back At Me.





The Waiter Approached Us, "What Will You Guys Have For Tonight?" He Smiled "I Will Have The Chicken & What Will You Have Baby?" I Looked At The Menu & Didn't Know What I Want So I Just Did The Most Basic Thing I Could Ever Say... "I'll Just Have What He's Having For Now." He Giggled At Me "You Didn't Know What The Hell You Was Gonna Order Didn't You?" I Giggled Back "No I Did Not, Ha Ha." "Are You Sure You're Really Happy For The Baby Chris? Cause If You Don't Want I'll-" He Cuts Me Off. "Terrence I'm Really Happy, You Don't Need To Worry Girl Gosh." He Leaned Towards Me & I Smiled. Then I Looked At Him But I Couldn't Shake Off This Feeling In The Back Of My Head Of My Head Of What He Told Me Back At The Apartment.





"I'm Gonna Go To The Bathroom Chris, I'll Be Right Back." He Nodded Then Rubbed My Back. I Got Up To Go To The Bathroom. I Was Coming Out Of The Bathroom I Heard A Familiar But Annoying Ass In oherent Voice. "Hola Puta!!!" I Turned Around & It Was Catalina's Crazy Ass Again Starting Shit. "I See You've Been Whoring Around With Chris Now Huh?" I Rolled My Eyes At Her. "Look, Catalina Chris Broke Up With You & Now He's With Me. So Get Over Yourself & Move On With Your Life He Doesn't Want You..." I Scoffed, I Started To Walk Away Then Catalina Grabbed My Shoulder & Slapped Me Across The Face. I Quickly Got Up & Slapped Her In Her Face. Then I Walked Over & Started Punching Her In The Face Then She Grabbed My Hair Trying To Force Me On The Floor.

Then A Bartender Saw Us Fighting & He Called Security, I Got A Hold Of Catalina's Hair & We Kept Swinging Each Other Back & Forth Viciously Like We Wanted To Rip Each Other's Hair Out Of Our Skulls. Catalina Tried To Kick Me In The Stomach & That Enraged Me Even More. I Took Her Head & Slammed It On The Marble Bar Table With a Chunk Of Her Hair In My Hand. I Dropped The Hair Peice & Got Up To Leave But Then She Tackled Me To The Ground Hard, I Turned Around & Kicked Her In The Chest & Chris Must've Saw Me Cause He Was Running With Security To Get Us Off Each Other. Security Took Catalina Who Was Bloody From The Fight. I Just Had A Couple Of Scratches & That Bitch Got Her Fucking Blood On Me. Then Chris Grabbed Me & Took Me Out Of The Restaurant & We Drove Off Into The Night.
