The Come Up

Chapter 28

After Allen left the school he still didn't tell me what was wrong. I was worried the whole day. *ring ring ring* The bell rang to go home. I walked to my car and Tatyana ran up behind me. "You going home?" she said out of breathe. "Yes, I have to check on Allen." I said looking for my keys. "You think you could drop me off in the hood real quick?" she said smiling. The day after two men got shot over a dice game and she wanted me to drop he off. "I know you not talking about Oakcliff... I'm not going over there so I can get shot up. You on your own." I said getting in the car. When I drove off my phone started ringing. "Hello?" "Nanna!!!!!" said Monta. I smiled hard. Monta had been visiting with my dad and that side of the family. "I miss you. Since we moved I don't see you no more. How the baby doing?" he said all in one sentence. I laughed. "Well baby y'all did move out of state.. And the baby is fine. You should tell Daddy to bring you out here before the baby comes." Tears swelt up in my eyes. "DADDY!!!... Can I go see Nanna this weekend?... Ima come see you in two weeks Nanna." "Good... Well baby, I'll call you later on. I have to go check on Allen... I love you sooooo much." I said wiping my face. "Don't cry... I love you too." We said our goodbyes and I sped home. 

When I pulled in the drive-way a strange car was parked in my spot. I got out and walked up to the door. "Just fucking leave..." I heard Allen say through the door. I pushed the door open and the girl Pinky stood there damn near naked. "Get out my house." I said in a soft tone. I was pregnant and was not about to fight so I tried to keep myself calm. She grabbed her dress and ran out the door. I slammed it behind her and looked at him. "Fuck was she doing in my house Allen." I said looking down at the floor. "She came over here trying to beg me to take her back because she feel like we need each other. She lucky you walked in I swear. My babygirl...." he said then dropped to his knees and cried. I walked over and he wrapped his arms around my calf muscles. I just rubbed his head. "That was my world... She just let her die. I don't know what Im going to do." he cried out. "Look at me.. Allen. Look at me. This child right here." I said placing his hand on my belly, "You are welcomed to be it's father. And don't blame her, you don't know what happened." Allen stood up and wrapped his arms around me. He looked me in my eyes and kissed me deeply. I wasn't quit ready for sex so I pushed away. "No baby just let me..." he said pulling me back into the kiss. I just let it happen. We start pushing towards the room and someone knocked on the door.

When I opened the door there stood Monta. He wrapped his little arms around my legs. "SURPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNA!!!" He said handing me a big card he made and a small box. I start crying. "Awww. I thought you said two weeks Daddy." I said as my dad walked up smiling. "We had just gotten to Dallas and I decided to surprise you... Getting big huh?" I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Thank you Daddy," I whispered in his ear. "You welcome baby. Your sister is here too." I laughed. "You playing right?" He shook his head. "I don't have a sister..."
