(Living room)
You: okay Chres. What's your problem.
Chres: I don't know. I'll talk to my doctor after practice.
You: I don't think it's a doctor problem. You haven't been able to since I told you I was pregnant.
Chres: (exhales and sits up)
You: I don't turn you on anymore (look away)
Chres: what? Of course. In fact every time I see you. It's just when we're actually about to do it. All I think about is you having Trey's baby.
You: I thought you were okay with it?
Chres: I thought I was too. But then I think about it. And I'm not. This wasn't supposed to happen. How do I be a stepdad?
You: yeah, I know. It was a Careless mistake. But Chres I'm not going to make you be a stepdad.
Chres: its not a choice. Look how you and Madison turned out.
You: I chose to look at Madison as if she was my own. You don't have to do anything for this baby Chres.
Chres: I'm not saying that. It's just what am I allowed to do. What if one day he gets old enough and tell me "you're not my dad" we fighting.
You: (laugh a little) you're not hitting my baby.
Chres: see. Is he my son? Do Trey want me calling him my son? What do he call me? And the biggest question is how long will your trips to Memphis be?
You: there won't be any trips to Memphis trey is moving to Atlanta once the baby is born.
Chres: great.
You: (looking at Chres ) great? That's all
Chres: horaay? You want me to be happy? Your ex fiancé and baby daddy is moving to Atlanta!
You: (walk away) if you want me to get an abortion just say it.
Chres: (following you) what? I didn't
You: (walk in the guest room and slam the door)
Chres: (sighs heavily)

Stacie : says the girl who has a box of toys.
You: (roll your eyes) that originated from me being a late bloomer.
Nicki: okay. (Looks at you)
You thank y'all for listening and understanding and not judging. (Smiles)

Minutes later

You: Hey babe. How was basketball practice?
Chris: we played knockout and I almost won.
You: (laugh) almost huh?
Chris: I was in the last four.
You: well you'll get them the next time. Put your seatbelt on.
Chris: (puts his seatbelt on) is the new baby going to be a boy or girl?
You: I don't know. I'll find out on my next doctor visit though?
Chris: I hope it's a girl.
You: awww why?
Chris : because daddy and me always do things together. And since Madison is older she hang out with her friends you need a little girl to do girl things with.
You: well think you for being considerate Christopher. I hope it's a girl too.

Brittany: (shrugs) I know.
You: (laugh shaking your head)
Brittany: (looks at the kids)
You: I'm happy they clicked.
Brittany: (looks at you and smile) Your Birthday is coming up. What are your plans?
You: (sigh) I don't know. I haven't really been putting too much emphasis on my birthday. Treys been trying but it hasn't been the same since my mom.
