I thought about keeping it all a secret, and just helping Adrienne with the baby on the low; but then I thought about my brother Kendrew and how he didn't get to enjoy the benefits of having a full time father, like my brothers and I did. Having to be kept a secret made him an angry, jealous person towards my brothers and I at first. I was happy that we could finally come together in the end. I also saw how hurt my mother was when she found out. My father was picture perfect this whole time, and to find out he had this son on the side killed the perception she had of him. I saw how hurt my father was, knowing that my mother saw him in a different light, and I wanted no parts of any of that mess.
I pulled into the driveway and took a few deep breaths. I walked into the house, and walked through the foyer area slowly. I could smell hints of Jessica's perfume, and it made me sick knowing that I may never smell it again. Even though we were having a baby, Jessica would find a way to not let me see her, and only the baby. I walked up the stairs as slow as possible and arrived at our bedroom door. I heard the shower running, and thanked God that I had a little time before a part of me would be ripped away.
Prior to arriving, I asked my father AND mother what was the best way to handle it. My father was a smart man, which is why I asked him, but my mother knew how a woman would react or perceive certain things. My mother told me to be completely honest, not to get defensive or insulting regardless of what she said, and to most importantly make sure that if Jessica left a nigga, she knew I loved her. I sat on the bed, stiff as hell. Sooner than I liked, Jessica came out the bathroom in her towel.
"Hey papi," she beamed.
She had a beautiful glow, and she looked so happy. I was supposed to make her happy, but it seemed all I could do was the opposite.
"Hey ma," I said, attempting to force a smile.
She dropped her towel and went into her panty drawer. I stared at her stomach, and thought about how great it would be to watch it grow over time. I begged God to let me keep Jessica, to make her want to stay.
"Baby, come here," I told her as she put on her long pajama shirt. She walked over to me, and stood between my legs. She smelled so good, and the thought of losing her made my eyes water. "I need to be honest with you, Jessica," I said as the tears started to roll. I didn’t care that she saw me like this.
"Papi what's wrong?!" she said, caressing my fade as I held her by the waist.
"Do you remember when I told you I slept with someone while we were broken up?" she shook her head yes, still holding my face up. "She's pregnant, baby," I finally said, waiting for the worst. We stared in each other's eyes for what seemed like forever. Tears started to well up in her eyes. "Baby, I'm sorry. I love you so much. It was an accident. I never even fucked her raw, ma. I don't even know how it happened."
"Are you sure it's yours?" she asked with a trembled voice.
"I don't really know. I'm def gon’ get a paternity test when it's here. But it is a possibility," I told her, waiting on a response. "Jessica, I love you so much and I want you to know that no matter what you decide, I'm gon’ be here for you and the baby. I don't wanna be with nobody else but you, mami," I told her, gripping her body with my sweaty ass palms. I had never been so nervous in my life. She just stared at the floor quiet, with her hands on my shoulders. "I'm gon’ be on my best behavior if you give me another chance." She grabbed my face and kissed my lips, surprising the fuck out of me.
"Thank you for being honest, baby," she kissed me again, and I tightened my grip around her waist.
"So you not gon’ leave me?" I asked to make sure.
She shook her head no. "Long as you promise that she was just something to do, you love me and want me, and you not gon’ be on no suspect shit with her," she replied sternly.
"I promise you, baby. We only gon’ be cordial for the baby," I told her, meaning every word. Adrienne was gon’ have to accept that or get the fuck on, as Kayden would say.
"Okay. You've never given me a reason not to trust you–" Before she could finish good, I grabbed her down onto the bed and hugged her tight.
"I love you so much, ma. You don't know how thankful I am for you," I told her, kissing all over her face and neck, making her laugh.
"I love you too, Papi," she smirked with her sexy ass.
I was on cloud fucking nine at this moment. No amount of money in the world could make me feel better than this. I called my mom when Jessica went to pop us some popcorn, and thanked her for her advice. I couldn't keep my hands off my baby for the rest of the night and said I the longest prayer, thanking God for her. I proposed the next afternoon.
Chapter Eleven: Adrienne Woods
I was kind of happy July was dead. I wished April was here to celebrate with me. I know it sounds bad, but she made my life a living hell. Shit, she thought I was dead before she died and didn’t even try to get a funeral arranged or anything. She just proceeded with her life, and now that she was the one actually dead, I was gon’ do the same.
I decided to stay in Baltimore so that my baby could grow up with their father. Kendon had grown on me so much and although I preferred women, I wouldn't mind being a family with him. I might even go as far as to say I loved the nigga. I had never met anybody like him. He had gorgeous dark skin, emerald green eyes, a perfect white smile, and a big dick. If I was gon’ get some dick, it needed to be worth it, and he was. Kendon was funny and fun to hang out with. I felt like I could actually be friends with him, and be in a relationship. For me to say such is a lot, considering I loved pussy.
When he told me he was gon’ tell his girl Jessica about our baby, a part of me was happy. One, because I wasn't gon’ be a secret, and two, because I knew she would drop his ass. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The next morning he text me, letting me know we would be cordial for the baby, and only see each other when he came to pick it up. My heart sank down into the pit of my stomach. Not only was I gon’ be a mother, but a single one. I never saw myself having kids, because being a lesbian didn't quite come with that perk, so now that I was actually gonna be one, I hated that I had to do it somewhat alone. I thought about aborting it, but I knew Kendon would kill me.
I thought back to how good it was when Kendon and Jessica were apart and got the greatest idea. We hung out almost everyday, and I actually enjoyed my part in July's little scheme. I decided that I needed to get rid of her, so Kendon and I could be together.
She and her friends loved to go eat dinner together every other Friday at Flemings. It was around 8 p.m. and I sat across the street in my car, waiting for them to exit the restaurant. I watched her closely as she laughed and smiled with her friends. She was beautiful, and her pregnancy made her beautiful complexion glow. I wondered if I glowed as well. I hated her and admired her all at once. Why couldn't she just leave Kendon like most bitches would've?
I hurried up and put my blunt out when I saw them getting up from the table. I knew Kendon would kill me if he saw me smoking a blunt while carrying his baby. She walked out, and got inside her all black Lexus, which reminded me to try and get a new car from Kendon. I followed behind her car for a bit, letting a few cars get in between us so she wouldn't suspect anything. We finally got to an area where it was just my car behind hers, and I knew this was my chance. God was giving my unborn baby and I a chance at having a great life.
I sped up behind her and lightly bumped her car. She swerved a bit and tried to pull over. I guess she thought we was gon’ exchange insurance information; not tonight boo. As soon as her car stopped, I gunned it, swerved a bit, and t-boned her car. The car flipped over off the side of the road, landing upside down. Smoke started to come from her car, so I turned my wheel quickly to the left to straighten up, and sped off. I smiled, watching the smoke get thicker through my review mirror as I drove home. I couldn't wait to comfort Kendon while he dealt with the death of his girlfriend.
