Sixteen on my own, young nigga being grown. Couldn't trap, I had to rob niggas. Cause I ain't even have a phone. I was tryna be a man, got me feeling all alone.

Mercedes
I looked down at the timer on my phone seeing there were thirty seconds left. My palms were sweaty while my knees were going weak.
"You're not pregnant" I said aloud as the timer came to a stop.
I took a deep breath before walking over to the black marble covered sink. I looked down at all three pregnancy tests. Positive.
"Shit" I cursed on the verge of tears.
How could I be so stupid? I knew I didn't have a relationship with Rodrick yet I used no condoms the last time we had sex. Tears ran down my cheeks as my eyes shifted over to the bathroom door.
"Mercedes are you okay?" Karma asked while knocking on the door.
I opened the door staring at her blankly. She sighed staring back at me. She reached out to embrace me and I fell into her arms. Tears streamed down my face as many thoughts raced through my mind.
"You're pregnant huh?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Karm this is not how I pictured this. I was supposed to be married with a family. Not single having a baby with a man who doesn't even love me" I said placing my head on her shoulder.
Karma forced me to look at her.
"I know this isn't how you pictured things but you have to look at the blessings behind it. You've wanted to be a mother for quite sometime now. Now you can" she smiled as we walked into my bedroom.
We took a seat on the bed as I calmed down a bit.
"You know my history. What if this baby doesn't make it to term?" I asked fearful.
In the past I have had two miscarriages. I always felt like less of a woman because I couldn't carry a baby to full term.
"You have to be positive Cedes. Just make sure you take care of yourself and focus on the baby" she said locking eyes with me.
I placed my hand on my flat stomach. Deep down there was some sense of excitement that I had for being pregnant but on the other hand it wasn't.
"What if Roddy doesn't want the baby?" I asked sadly.
"From what you tell me he's a good father. I feel like he'll do the right thing. If not then we'll raise this baby together" Karma smiled hugging me up.
"I love you" I said embracing her back.
"I love you too girl" she said.
My thoughts went over to Rodrick. I wondered how he was going to take the news of being a father again. Whatever the outcome was I would deal with it.
Rodrick
I held my baby girl close to my chest while walking through my mom's house. I stopped at a photo of my older brother. He was twenty-six when he got murdered. That year it was a lot of bloodshed. I had to get the opps back for taking my bro out of this world.
"I miss you bro" I said quietly while Arianna made all types of cute baby noises.
I placed kisses all over her face making her giggle. We walked out into the courtyard where everybody was chillin'. There was a grill up and running. A dice game was taking place on the steps causing niggas to argue. I walked over to the table that my moms sat at.
"Hey baby boy. How's my grandbaby?" she asked reaching out to take Arianna out of my arms.
My daughter loved her grandma. I allowed my moms to take her before I sat down at the table.
"She's cool but ma you just had her last night" I laughed.
Shay been doing what I told her to do concerning Arianna. I heard that fuck nigga TJ was doing her dirty anyway. That's what her dumbass gets.
"Something could've happened from then till now" my mom scooted closer to me and whispered in my ear. "Ya sister has something to tell you."
I locked eyes with my moms before she stood up to walk away. I watched her go over to her group of old ass friends and they grandkids. Sighing, I stood up walking over to where the music was being played. Both of my younger sisters was dancing and that had these young niggas watching them. I stood in between them.
"Stop all this ass shaking shit before you make me murk one of these little niggas out here" I said mugging the two niggas looking they way.
They quickly stopped looking. I looked from my thirteen year old sister to my fifteen year old sister. They looked just like our moms. That shit made me nervous because they was growing into beautiful young ladies.
"Moms said y'all got something to tell me?" I asked looking at them both.
Katori, the thirteen year old, looked over at Sana. She was low key the snitch of the family. Never get in trouble with her because she was gon' snitch.
"Sana?" I asked waiting.
"Please don't be mad" she said looking down.
I arched my brow.
"Why would I be mad?" I asked.
"I'm pregnant" she said lowly but I was still able to hear her.
I instantly got pissed off.
"Pregnant? Sana you fifteen. You shouldn't even be fucking" I yelled causing people to look over at us.
I grabbed her by the arm walking inside of the building my moms stayed in.
"So you out here fucking niggas?" I asked angrily.
"Roddy I'm sorry" she started crying.
We ain't never had a dad growing up so my older brother was like a father figure to us. When he died I was then the man of the house. Me and my mom butted heads a lot because I chose the streets versus going to school and getting a nine to five. But whatever money I made out there I brought back to her and my sisters. It hurt to hear that my baby sister was out here let niggas fuck on her. I know it was a double standard considering I started fucking at thirteen but fuck that.
"Who the father?" I asked clenching my fists.
"His name is Key'Andre. We in love" she said staring up at me with her light brown eyes.
We was the only ones that got light eyes out of my family.
"Love? That little nigga just wanted to hit. Where he stay at?" I asked.
I was gon' pay that little nigga a visit.
"Roddy don't. Mama already asked him to come by the house" she said.
"Cool when he come I'm gon' be here to meet him. Na what you gonna do with a baby?" I asked.
She shrugged looking down at her feet.
"I ain't happy with you right now Na. But I'ma see this nigga though" I said before walking away from her.
I couldn't believe that my little sister was pregnant. I pulled my phone from my pocket checking my notifications. I still ain't hear from Cedes in a minute. Maybe she really was done with me this time.
