Kennedy...

Something in my gut urged me to call Davon. I missed him more than usual. I waited all day ; client after client until 4:45pm finally hit the clock so I could dash out to my car and give my love a call. As soon as my butt hit the leather of my car seat , my phone was ringing and I was awaiting Davon to answer my call and brighten my day.

"Hello?" Davon answered in his natural low tone.

"Baby!" I greeted in a higher voice, "I'm on my way right now . I wanted to hear your voice. I miss you .."

I pulled out of the staff parking lot and veered into the traffic . My stomach grumbled as I listened to Davon give me the update on his day.

"Some girl had an interview and was so obsessed . She wanted for than just a job for money , this bitch wanted sex." Davon said while huffing. I could tell he was walking somewhere.

"When will these girls learn . I hope you pushed her away and told her she wasn't getting the job. Thats so disrespectful .."

"Of course."

"Don't say of course like it was obvious for me to know. You didn't push Ka-" I was cut short.

"Hush Kennedy. Are you gonna keep bringing that shit up? It happened but there's no affection between her and I ; I swear, baby. I love you."

"Ugh," I sighed softly into the phone , "come on babe, I'm outside , lets get something quick."

"Yes momma. I'm at the side doors, right now ."

I hung of the phone and circled Davon's work until I saw his long, muscular figure walking out in khakis, a blue and white striped shirt, and a royal blue tie. I parked in the handicapped parking and waited for him to ease his way to my car.

"Hey, baby." He said with a sweet sincere smile right before kissing my cheek and fixing his seat belt.

I pulled out of his parking lot and headed towards the nearest McDonalds for us to pick up a quick bite before returning to work.

"What time do you get off today?" Davon asked while staring out the window nodding his head.

"I'm supposed to get off at 5:45, but remember I have that doctors appointment and don't forget tomorrow we both have that stupid counselor you signed us up for ."

"I like that dude, he's cool."

"He's discouraging me and always making the things you do sound okay."

"Because the things I do are okay."

"You only tell him the good , what about you smoking and god knows what else you do."

" I don't do nothing." Davon snapped before turn his attention back to the window; neither of us said a word until I pulled into the McDonalds drive thru.

"Hello welcome to McDonald's , order when ready." A distorted robotic feminine voice boomed through the small speaker.

"I just want a medium fry and a whopper." Davon spoke finally. I was about to order his food before I realized what he had said.

"A whopper bae?" I giggled.

"Yeah?"

"This isn't Burger King, baby.." I turned my attention back to the mic and began to order, "Yeah, can I get a two medium fries, a quarter pounder with cheese, a strawberry banana smoothie, and two small waters."

"Okay your total is fifteen o-one at the first window." the robotic cashier announced as I pulled forward in line and handed her a green bank card.

The lady then swiped my card and handed me back a recipe along with my card. I slowly pressed the gas and made my way to the second window to collect our order.

"So....." Davon said, almost said out of interest.

"I thought I'd be nice and we'd go out for lunch, but I see you have no idea what I had to go through to get a lunch switch. It's fine though, just dandy."

"What is your problem? I ordered, didn't I?"

"It's not what you say, it's how you say it. If you don't want to be here with me.." Kennedy grabbed our food from the second window and sped off towards my work, "then don't eat with me. That's all you had to say."

"Kennedy what is wrong with you?"

I didn't know to be quite honest. I just knew I didn't want to be in the car and I didn't want to see Davon anymore.

"Get out, please.."

"Kennedy, what did I do? This is kinda far to be walking in a suit, with McDonald's, while its 94 degrees!"

I pressed my head on the steering wheel and thought hard about what exactly I was mad about, and it wasn't Davon himself , it was the stupidity he was now using. Here I am holding his first child , after he cheated on me.. Who knows how many other times. Yet I was still standing by his side like a pet. I was tired of it, if he wanted my attention he'd have to do like every other man and earn it.

Davon...

I was completely lost on why Kennedy was acting this way. I didn't get out of the car , I just turned my body towards her and eyeballed her, then the outside behind her.
Finally I got tired of looking at her staring at the beige steering wheel, and snatched the bag of food from her. She didn't move or fight it either. She huffed one good time and turned her attention back to the road.

"Do you want your stuff?" I said with my effort of sweetness.

"Nope. Probably is cold where is shouldn't be and hot where it's not supposed to be. I'll get it after work I guess."

"It's fine.. We haven't even been out here that long , Kennedy. Eat." I took my burger and brought it to her face as if I was feeding her. She did a small laugh and finally spoke up.

"I have to admit that burger is good, but can I have my fries?"

"And smoothie?"

"And smoothie..."

I laughed at her greediness then handed her what she'd order.

"Kennedy !!"

"What ??"

"What time is that meeting?"

"After 6. Around like 6:30pm. Why?"

"Just checking. I'll be home around 5 , I'll get dressed, lay out something for you, then when you get home you can take your luscious bath, baby, and we'll be all set."

"You're so bipolar, we'll see." Kennedy laughed.

"Yeah , I guess, but I need to get back to work and so do you!"

"Oh shi-oot. Davon why didn't you tell me to look at the time?"

"I did.. Now." I hesitated before laughing hard while Kennedy sped off to my work and dropped me off.

A small "bye baby." and a peck on the lips was exchanged before she headed back off to work. I wasn't sure why she had her mood swings , but I was going to have to learn to put up with her and take it easy on her.

**UPDATE: We all know some pregnant women and how they're moods switch and change dramatically... this is what Kennedy is experiencing in this chapter . It's meant to kind of through you off because from Davon's point of view he doesn't really understand why she's acting this way . He'll later find out in a future chapter that it all has to do with her pregnancy. Sorry this was a little confusing . Also, don't forget about how Miss Kennedy drank while pregnant and about Davons secret job , they're coming back to haunt... **

Sorry I'm so late on updates. I was in the hospital, but I'm finally out. The only downfall to me is I can't type too fast with my right hand.. It's okay because I'm left handed, but it's very annoying. Anyway , this is a short chapter I know, but it's to get something out there. Thank you so much for your time. More coming so soon!!
