Devine

30

I go inside and lay Josh down. "Layla?" I go upstairs. "Hey girl."

"Hey."

"You're early.x

"I don't feel that well. So me and Joshua are home."

"You don't feel well?"

"No. I've just been nauseous."

"You and Dallas been having sex?"

"We have. But I can't be pregnant right?"

"Did he use protection?"

"No."

"Bestie....you need to be more careful."

"But when we have sex it feels so different than Kris and Curtis. I feel like he really matches me well especially when it comes to sex. He's aggressive but he's still slow and sweet at points. He's just.... like he knows what he's doing. That's what I'm saying."

"Yeah cause he's older than you Kris and Curtis. Of course he knows what he's doing."

"Do you have a pregnancy test on you?x

"Why would I have a pregnancy test?"

"Cause why not?"

"I'll go buy you one cause I gotta go pick up something."

"Weed?"

"I don't smoke."

"Yes you do."

"Whatever." She left. If I'm pregnant I think Dallas would be okay with it. But what about his kids? His kids wouldn't like that. I'm gonna sleep this off.

I took two tests and I'll wait cause I'm hungry. I make a sandwich.. glad my baby is still sleeping. I go back upstairs. I go in the bathroom. I can't believe it. I'm having another baby....I get in bed. I should probably tell Dallas. I don't wanna wait. I call him. "Hello?"

"Hey. How's the event going?"

"Really well. We've earned almost five thousand dollars."

"Wow. Wait did your parents come?"

"Yeah fortunately. They gave us three k. They would've loved to meet you but I hope you're feeling better."

"Kinda I guess..by the way...I just..."

"You okay?"

"I'm not really good at telling people this..."

"I won't get mad. You can tell me anything."

"I'm pregnant." Two minutes past without anyone saying anything then he yelled. "Oh everyone's looking at me hold on."

"You yelled in front of people so."

"So, you're pregnant?"

"Yeah. It's been a while since we've done anything. Maybe a few weeks."

"Yeah. I really wanted another baby you know."

"I know. I did too. But now that I am I don't know."

"Oh. I forgot to ask how you felt about it. I was excited."

"I don't know. Another baby would put my counselor job behind definitely and you work all day and I'll be working all day."

"Yeah...so.."

"But...I have never got a abortion and I never planned to."

"So we're keeping the baby?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

"When are you guys coming back?"

"Uh. Soon. Did you try the cookies you made?"

"No I didn't."

"Everyone loved them. They were so good."

"Really?"

"Yeah. How did you make them?"

"A recipe I found online but I replaced some stuff just in case of allergies. Did you get some for me?"

"I did. Everyone loved them so I got the last ones."

"Oh wow. They were selling out fast."

"Mh. By the way. I know you're pregnant and everything but like you said it's been a while and I miss you."

"Come over tonight. If you want your kids to come I guess they can."

"I'm gonna see if my parents will get them but if not I'll bring them."

"How do you think your kids will react?" He sighed deeply. "I can only imagine...."

"I wouldn't expect them to like it very much."

"Yeah but it's a part of life if it didn't happen now it would eventually right?"

"Yeah."

"Bye the way, do you want a part of the profits from your cookies?"

"No, it all goes to the kids."

"Okay."

"How much did I make?"

"Almost two hundred dollars. Were you paying attention to the money?"

"No. People payed more than they were supposed to."

"Yep. But it's not that big of a deal. The more money the better."

"Yeah. Well call when you get here I'm gonna eat and go to bed."

"Alright. Sorry for losing my key by the way. I have no idea what I did with it."

"It's okay. We can make another one."

"Alright. You get your rest baby."

"Alright bye." I hang up.

I open the door. "Hey guys."

"Hi mommy!" They hugged me. "Oh. You guys go get ready for a bath. Demi you first." They whined. "Upstairs." I look behind Dallas. "Hello kids." He moved. "Dad-."

"You don't wanna be here River we know. At fourteen my parents left me alone. Actually my whole life they did."

"That's why you got pregnant at sixteen."

"Paris..."

"Pregnant at sixteen, graduated highschool with a five point gpa, got my own place at twenty one, with two babies, went to college, got a two bedroom at twenty two, got pregnant at twenty three, sued a school, got money then this house and I graduated two years later with a associates. You can't hurt my feelings I've had two kids without a epidural at sixteen cause I couldn't afford it. You probably don't know what that is. Yes my kids have all the same father Paris." It was quiet. "Nothing to say? Awesome." I go upstairs.

Dallas pov
She's so sexy. "Dad. How dare you let her talk to her like that?"

"You treat her like that and she can't do the same? Fix yourselves. Paris you should know better."

"Whatever dad." They started walking to the den. "Come here River."

"No." I pull him by his shirt. "Don't you dare ruin this with Devine. I haven't been this happy since your mom cause you run every single woman away. Devine it's not going anywhere. She's not soft and she'll put up with you. Stop acting like a child." I let him go. He went down. Looks like I handle myself now, kinda.
