I gripped it in my hand, my heart pumped in and out my chest out of fear, Ray gon kill me.
"Nattily" Ray called out for me from downstairs. "Coming" I shot back. I placed it down from out my grip, making my way downstairs. Step by step, I could hear the voices of children get closer. Messiah and Brielle were downstairs eating dinner. Ray had some business to handle today at work, he just had stopped by to drop some McDonald's off for the kids. (Not Sponsored).
"I'm bout to head out" he popped a fry in his mouth that he had stolen from messiahs plate.
"Hold on Ray" I blurted out. He stopped in his tracks, turning around handing me all his attention. "I need to talk to you" I followed up.
"Alright" mumbled words came from out Rays mouth. I could see the confusion sitting on his face. He followed behind me going up the steps, "come on" I spoke guiding him through the hall into the room. We made our way over to the master bathroom, stopping standing in-front of the sink. It took Ray a while to catch onto what had my attention. Ray looked down, staring at the Clear Blue pregnancy test resting on the bathroom counter. 'Positive' it read.
"So" I started. I don't think he caught on at first, he looked at me and back at the test. "What you thinking?" I asked him.
He shot me an expression filled with shock and disbelief, 'what is about to come out this niggas mouth?' Is what was running through my head.
Me and Ray has been on and off lately, but I think things are starting to actually get better. Ray's been coming home on time, when he isn't working late night shifts at work. He's been the best father he could be for his kids, he's just been keeping himself out of trouble and his mind right.
A baby would be perfect right now to bring us closer, I've been talking with Ray about bringing another child into our family for a little while now, Ray doesn't really feed into my thoughts and desires, but oh well, he still hits it without a rubber so his ass must not be too cautious about making another baby.
He looked back at the test then me one last time...

I hopped out the first floor window, landing my feet flat onto the ground. Grass tickled my feet through my flip flop shoes.

I snuck over to Nikes car, trying for Ma not to hear me. It was 10:30 Pm. everybody was sleep of course, but me.
Messiah was spending a few nights over his daddies house for the weekend, I miss my baby already! But I got work to get finished, and a hard math test to study for, man at this point I'm convinced these teachers are just setting us up for failure! What y'all think??
I hopped into his all black Mercedes Benz, shutting the door behind me. Nike let out a low chuckle as he put the car in D, and drove.
