Come in have a seat. I said closing the door
Look Zina you must have the wrong guy because we only slept together once, and I used a condom. I said pacing back and forth
Wow I'm shocked you actually remembered my name, because the last thing I remember is you walking out of my hotel room not saying goodbye. And it only takes one time, and you didn't use a condom. Zina said getting angry
How do I even know she's mine?. I asked looking at the baby
We slept together on August 12th, 1979, 9 months later On May 17th 1980 Kamiyah was born. So you're definitely the father. If you don't believe me we can take a DNA test. Zina said holding Kamiyah
Why Did you wait a whole year to tell me I have a kid?. I asked
Because I didn't have your number, so my best friends sister told me she used to date you, and she told me where you lived. And what did you want me to do wait until Kamiyah became a teenager to tell her about her father. Zina said
Look Zina I don't know how to be a father this is all new to me I'm only 17. How am I going to have a career at Engineering while taking care of a child. I said sitting down
I'm 17 too I want to be a Doctor, but I got pregnant, and had to focus on Kamiyah. Eric I just want you to be in Kamiyah's life. I didn't have a father growing up, and I wanted to make sure Kamiyah had her daddy in her life. She's such a sweet baby she loves Teletubies, she loves music. Zina said smiling
Hi Kamiyah I'm your daddy. I said holding her. Soon my parents came in
Mom, dad this is Zina, and this Is Kamiyah my daughter. I said smiling my parents just looked shocked
ERIC LYNN WRIGHT WHAT THE HELL YOU MEAN THIS IS YOUR CHILD. My mom yelled
Kathie calm down, son what's going on. Richard said sitting down in his favorite chair
Back in August of 1979 I went to a hotel party, and that is where I met Zina we went to her room and had sex. 9 months later Kamiyah was born. Look Mom, dad I'm really sorry for my actions we were both drunk, but I want to be a father to Kamiyah. I said looking at Zina
Eric I can't believe you would be this irresponsible we will discuss more about this in the morning. Mom said walking upstairs
Look I'll just go, and come back tomorrow here's my number. Zina said leaving
Wow I can't believe I'm really a father. I promise I'm going to give Kamiyah the life she deserves.
