"Why you yelling at me so much?" I ask on the verge of tears again.
I thought having a baby together would make him fall for me.
He absolutely hates me now tho. Maybe I should give it time.
"Fuck up talking to me dumbass." He says while looking at his phone.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Wallsteine. I'll be doing an ultrasound, correct?" I nod.
"Hurry this shit up."
"I'm sorry he's not very excited." I wave him off.
"Why not, sir, a baby is a blessi-"
"Do yo fucking job befoe I just take yo head off." He pulls out his gun and the doctor gasps.
...
"Why'd you pull your gun on that nice doctor." I ask him getting back in the car.
"I warned you bout taking to me ceram wrap."
"Well would you like a copy of the ultrasound?" I offer.
"To hell with that fuck ass ultrasound hoe!" He yells at me and I bust out crying.
He turns up the music to tune me out and I slowly start to regret ever agreeing to this.
I stop crying and he turns the music back down.
"You wanna be in your child's life?"
"You gone get a DNA test... then an abortion, then I'll think about this."
"I'm not getting an abortion."
"Aight I gotchu, you gone do the piñata method?"
"The fuck is that?" I scrunch my face up.
"It's where you blindfold someone, give them a bat, and let them swing at your stomach... Like a piñata." He busts out laughing.
Oh my God what have I done.

"Dee, Veah coming over." I say sitting up on my bed.
"Mkay." She starts fixing her hair.
"Not my sister turning you out." I smirk.
"Never that, I just gotta look decent around other people. You my friend ion care bout how you see me."
I side eye her.
"Where's my least favorite sibling at?" Veah yells from the front of the house.
We walk to her.
"I'm yo only damn sibling." I mug her.
"Yeah, yeah. Shawty how you been." She walks past me and starts hitting on Dee.
Dee just rolled her eyes and giggled a lil. Veah really spitting game.
Welp.
I decide to unblock Amari and text him.

I gather all my things and tell them I'm going to eat with one of my hoes.
"Good luck. We just gone be talking." My sister says.
"Yea yea, if I come back to my best friend getting fucked in the ass with a strap, everybody getting they ass beat." I say and they wave me off.
I sit outside on my phone until he pulls up and I get in.
"Who was in your car?"
"Whatchu mean?" He plays dumb.
"I can tell when a female has been in here. Don't fucking play me."
The seat was pushed forward, there were fingerprints on the window, and a faint smell of cheap perfume.
"Chill, ain't nobody been in my car."
"Okay." I say with a blank face.
He looks at me crazy and drives off. He drives to his house. He enters the code and opens the gates to get in.
I reach for the door and he pops my hand. I roll my eyes as he goes over to open the door for me.
He grabs my hand and I snatch it away making him smack his lips.
"What we doing?" I ask sitting on his beanbag.
"Play 2k wit me." I roll my eyes and grab a controller.
"Pass it to me!" He yells.
"What the hell do I press!?"
"Here." He reaches over and clicks something.
"Ooo, we winning." I cheese.
"Kobe character got good luck." He says.
"On gang." I nod.
"Can we do sumn else after this?" I ask.
"Yeah, I'mma just play a few mo' rounds."
I sigh and lay down on the bed.
AN HOUR LATER
"Aight I'm done." He powers off the PlayStation.
"Shh." I say with my eyes closed trying to fall back asleep.
"Get up, it ain't even dark outside yet." He jumps on top of me.
"Getcho fat ass off of meeee!" I scream from under him.
"Nah I'm good." He lays his head on my boobs and gets comfortable.
"Whea my gun at." I start reaching around for it.
"Fine, but you better get up too. It's too early tuh be sleeping."
I grab my lean out of my purse, take the lid off and take a sip.
"Can you please go put some ice in here?" I bat my faux mink lashes.
"Told yo ass to stop drinking this." He snatches the cup.
"Sir, I just want ice." I shrug.
He goes and pours it down the sink.
"I fucking hate you." I pout sitting back down.
"Ain't no fucking up yo organs on my watch." He says and I scrunch my face up.
"Well get me a Sprite or sumn since you threw out my drink."
After I'm sure he's gone, I pick up his phone. My birthday is his password which is easy asf.
I click on messages before checking that he wasn't back yet. I see a conversation from yesterday with Lefty Loosey and open it.
I skim through the messages and forward myself her number before deleting the text.
I stop dead in my tracks and go back to their conversation to reread.
"Pregnant?" I whisper to myself.
"Fuck." He drops the Sprite seeing me on his phone.
I throw his phone at the wall and it shatters.
"I just found out yesterday, I haven't even registered it yet." He pleads.
I order the fastest Uber as he tries to explain himself. I put my phone in my purse and walk out as he chases behind me.
"Whea you goin?" He asks as my Uber pulls up outside the gate.
"Look, you're about to be a father. I think you should focus on that, not me." I pat his shoulder.
"We ain't even together yet and you already breakin up wit me?" He scrunches his face up.
"Unlock the gate so I can go."
"No." He responds and I jerk my head back.
"I'm deadass, open this Goddamn gate." I say in my best black mom voice.
"Not until you talk to me."
"I am taking to you fool. Open this fucking gate!" I stomp.
The Uber honks and he flips him off.
"Come back inside."
"No." I mug him.
He smacks his lips and lifts me up and carries me back inside.
"Nigga I spent 30 dollars on that Uber." I complain.
"I'a cash app you." He waves me off.
"You have a whole ass baby mama to worry about, I'mma just do me."
"Don't call that bitch my baby mama. And you not gone do you." He shrugs.
"Yes the fuck am. I'm very much single." I cross my arms.
"Say it again." He wraps his hands around my throat.
I roll my eyes and clench my thighs a lil.
"Exactly what I thought." He lets go of my neck.
"You know I'm never going to play step mommy tho."
"You won't have to."
"How far along is she?" I ask.
"Apparently 5 weeks." He sits down and puts his hands in his joggers.
"Have you fucked her since then?" I squint my eyes at him.
Ian really got nun to be mad at I guess.
"Nope."
"Yeen had no nut in the 4 weeks we've been yk?" I squint my eyes at him.
"Nope." He shakes his head.
"Tuh, sucks to be you." I giggle.
He mugs me.
"Mean ass." I say as I sit down and straddle him with my arms around his neck.
I start kissing on his neck and playing with his hair and he leans his head back.
"Unt unt, moveee." He says breathing harder.
