Chapter Twenty-One

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I had an abortion." She wiped her eyes. "A few days after we did the DNA test, I decided to go through with it. I just didn't want it to be this way. I didn't want my baby growing up with a single mom. I didn't want all of that baby father drama. And I was thinking about how hard it would be for you, how hard it would be for Jasmine. So I made my decision and aborted it."

By now she was sobbing.

I couldn't describe what I was feeling at the moment.

"Dia-"

"Chresanto, it was for the best. Okay? It was for the best."

"I-I'm just sorry I wasn't there."

"It's okay, Chresanto. I just want to apologize for everything. And from this day forward, you don't ever have to worry about dealing with me, okay?"

"Diamond. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me."

She weakly smiled and nodded.

I pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry again." She wiped her eyes and stood up.

"Bye Chresanto." She said before opening the door.

"B-bye Diamond." I said closing the door behind her.

I can't say that I was happy that she aborted it, because that would be fucked up of me, and that was my baby, part of me was upset, part of me was relieved.

I honestly didn't know what to feel, or how to feel.

Later that night...

I visited Jasmine.

"Ch- Chres? What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you, Jasmine." I said lowly.

She shook her head. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"C'mon, Jaz." I pleaded.

She sighed before widening the door, allowing me to come in.

I walked into the living room and sat down.

"What's going on?" She asked, sitting across from me.

"Are the kids sleep?"

She nodded.

I sighed to myself. "W-well it's about Diamond."

She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Just hear me out. Today she came over. Our results came in...and I am the father."

"Shit." She sighed and put her head in her hands.

"But...", I sighed, scratching the back of my neck.

"S-She had an abortion. There's no more baby." I replied.

Her eyes softened. She looked as if she was searching for the right words to say.

"C-chres. I'm Sor-"

"N-no Jasmine. I'm sorry. I'm the one who fucked up. Diamond didn't want to interfere with us, with our family, so she had to make a decison. And maybe that decision was for the best." I replied, softly.

She sat beside me before pulling me into a hug.

"Jaz, I'm sorry." I cried.

She began to cry.

"Shh baby. It's okay." She cried.

We cried together and soon fell asleep together.

|Jasmine|

"Mama, Wake up." I heard CJ say.

I sat up and seen Chresanto laying beside me.

"We have to go to school, mama."

I pressed my home screen button on my phone. It was pushing eight.

"Shoot." I jumped up. "Go get help your sister get ready please."

He nodded before walking off.

I tapped Chresanto's arm, awaking him.

"H-hey Chres." I lightly smiled.

"Good morning, Jaz." His voice was raspy.

"Umm." I cleared my throat.

He sat up awkwardly stared at me. "Sorry for coming over here so late last night."

"Chresanto i-its okay." I shyly smiled.

He stood up and grabbed my hands before grabbing my face, and kissing me passionately.

I couldn't help but to kiss him back.

"Ooooooooh mommy, daddy." Chrystal cooed behind us.

We pulled away quickly.

"Shhhh bean. Let them be." CJ grinned from ear to ear.

I giggled at the nickname CJ gave Chrystal.

"Are you two back together now?!" She smiled a toothless smile.

CJ nudged her.

I cleared my throat before looking back at Chres.

"C'mon you guys, let's get you to school." Chresanto smiled. "I'll take them Alright? I see ya later."

I nodded, walking them to the door.

Once they were gone, I stood against the door, thinking of the way Chresanto kissed me. I missed that so much and it made my heart skip a beat.

I was knocked out of my thoughts by the twins cries. Damn.

|Chresanto|

"So pops. Are you and mom back together?" CJ asked.

I looked over at him and laughed.

"Why you in grown folks business?"

"I just wanna know pops. Forreal." He shook his head.

"Well to be honest son, I messed up really bad, and I think it's gonna take awhile for ya mama to forgive me. But, we're going to work it out regardless."

"So, no divorce right?" Chrystal asked.

I shook my head. "I hope not."

The rest of the car ride was quiet. I soon reached their schools and dropped them off.

I headed back home. All I could do was think about Jasmine and how much I really missed being around her twenty-four seven. I prayed that she would find it in her heart to one day forgive me.
