The Publicist

Alternative Ending - In Vain Part 1

****I didn't feel like writing the whole thing tonight, so I'm dividing the last chapter in parts. Yes My hands hurt and I'm tired.

A year and a half later

Jazmine POV-

"Pwetty fly." Chi pointed to the blue and white butterfly that circled us.

We were sitting on the grass on a blanket, having our own little picnic in the park until we had to pick Aug up from class.

"It is pretty." I opened the box with his Chicken nuggets and barbecue sauce then put his fries on a paper plate.

"Jazzy huh?" He handed me a nugget.

"I got my own food Chi. You just enjoy. Thank you though." I got my food out And placed it in front of me.

"Let's say grace Chi."

We bowed our heads and said together.

"God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food. Amen."

He picked up one of his nuggets and took a bite.

I ate one of my fries.

"We wait on daddy?" He asked me.

"Mm-hm." I took a bite of my burger.

"Me miss you Jazzy." Chi said chowing down on his nuggets.

"Aww I missed you to Chi."

"Me was sad."

"You was sad?" I drank some of my water.

He shook his head yes.

"Why baby?" I took another bite of my burger.

"daddy go see you and me no come."

"Aww Chi You are more than welcome to visit me anytime. But i was working."

"Working?"

"Yeah. I had to sing and it gets really busy."

"You sing pwetty." He smiled.

"Thank you." I laughed.

"Daddy play you."

"Do he?"

"Mm-hm. Er-we-day."

"You sing like bird. Dey sing pwetty."

"Aww, you're so sweet Chime. Give me a hug."

He hugged me.

"Luh you Jazzy."

"Love you too baby."

We sat for a minute eating our food.

"Imma tell you a secret Chime don't tell daddy."

"I tell mommy?" He asked.

"Nope. Not mommy either."

"O-tay." He zipped his lips.

"You're going to have a little brother or sister."

"Yay!!!!!" He clapped.

"Remember don't tell daddy or mommy. I'm going to tell daddy on his birthday this weekend okay?"

"Yea."

He ate his nuggets and fries.

I didn't know how I quite felt about this all. It wasn't planned. And God knows I took all the birth control I could take, but it didn't seem to help.

I looked at women from the outside who were in situations like this and judged them heavily.

It definitely looked a hot ghetto mess from the outside looking in.
