A Huge Weight Was Lifted Off My Shoulders After Finding Out Our Baby Was Okay. Instead Of Taking Isis Straight Home, I Took Her To IHOP To Get Her Something To Eat And Talk.

When We Got There, We Were Escorted To Our Table And We Quickly Slid Into Our Booth; And Sat Quietly For A Minute.

"How You Feeling?" I Asked Her.

"Better." She Said. I Hated When She's Brief With Me. I Just Wanted Everything To Be Better Between Us.

"Baby Listen...Tell Me What You Want Me To Do And I'll Do It." I Said. She Looked At Me With Those Beautiful Brown Eyes And Sighed.

"Two Things. First Thing...You Better Never Cheat On Me Again! I At Least Want Our Child To Have Both Parents In His Or Her Life. So That Hoe Nataliee Has To Go!" She Said.

"Consider Her Gone." I Said.

"Good." She Said.

"And The Second Thing?" I Said.

"Second Thing Is...Leave The Drug Business Alone. I Don't Want That Lifestyle For Our Child." She Said. I Sat There And Processed Her Requests. I Know It Was Time To Leave The Game, But I Just Didn't Know If I Was Ready.

"So?" She Said.

"I Can Do That, But Ima Need Some Time." I Said.

"How Much Time?" She Asked.

"At Least A Few Months. Before The Baby Is Born." I Said.

"Promise?" She Said.

"I Promise." I Said. I Leaned Over The Table And Kissed Her Lips. Man I Loved This Girl To Death And I'm So Happy That She's Willing To Give Me Another Chance For The Sake Of Our Family.

After Spending The Morning With My Baby, We Headed Back To Her House. Last Night Was Crazy As Hell, But It's Better That She Faces The Fireworks Now Than Later.

"Come In With Me." She Said.

"Naw Baby. You Needa Handle This Alone." I Said.

"Please." She Said, Poking Her Lip Out Looking So Damn Cute.

"Man Aight." She Said. She Giggled As We Got Out Of The Car And Headed Inside. We Walked Towards The Stairs, But Stopped When Her Mom Called Her Name.

"Isis...Baby We Need To Talk." She Said.

"We Don't Need To Do Anything." She Said.

"Baby Hear Her Out." I Said.

"I Don't Want To Hear Anything She Or My Fake Ass Daddy Has To Say! Let's Just Get My Stuff So I Can Go! I'm Moving Out!" She Said.

"Isis Please! I Can't Let You Leave Like This." She Said.

"You Lied To Me! You Flat Out Lied To Me My Whole Life!" She Said. She Was On The Verge Of Crying As She Held My Hand Tight.

"Corey Could You Give Us A Minute?" Isis's Mom Asked Me.

"Yeah. Baby I'll Be Outside." I Said.

"No Don't Leave!" She Whined.

"Baby Ima Be Right Outside. Just Talk To Your Mom." I Said As I Kissed Her Forehead. I Let Her Hand Go And Headed Outside. Hopefully They Can Resolve This And Move On.
