Months Later

Chris POV

I sat there devastated at the news I had received from the doctors not too long ago.

"So he's really not mine, huh?"

Janelle held a sleeping Anthony as a single tear ran down her face. She named him after August once she found out that he wasn't mine.

"I'm afraid not. The results say otherwise, sadly."

I contained my anger, not wanting to scare the baby.

So much for having a family.

"I could call August for you", I suggested.

She gave me a weak smile.

"Thank you."

I nod my head in return. I then proceed to grab her phone being that I don't have his number.

"This nigga better not be on no bullshit this time", I mumbled to myself as I clicked on his contact.

I put the phone up to my ear.

*Ringgggg*

*Ringgggg*

*Ringgggg*

He finally answered.

*phone convo*

"Janelle, I told your ass not to call me until you're ready for a DNA test."

It took everything in me not to go off on him.

"It's Chris. Can you come down to the hospital?"

"You heard what I said the first time."

"He's not mine. I got the papers to prove it."

"It's a boy?"

I smacked my teeth.

"You would've known that if you came when he was born."

"Whatever. Is she ready for the test?"

"I just told you that he's not mine. I got tested too, dumbass."

"So? That doesn't mean that it's mine."

"He's a boy, not an it. You're the only other person that she's had sexual intercourse with."

"You don't know who she popped her pussy for."

I sigh in frustration.

"Just come and get a paternity test."

"Aight. I'll be up there in a minute."

"Bye."

*phone convo ended*

I could feel her eyes burning a hole through my face. I couldn't get myself to make eye contact with her.

"He's on his way", I tell her.
