Lies or Love

Chapter 11

It's been two week since Miranda got to her mothers house, and she was finally relaxing and not worrying about anything

"How are my two babies" her mother walked into the living room

"We are doing fine, but we're a little hungry" Miranda said looking at her mom

"Yeah" she asked

"Yeah"

"You should get up and get something to eat huh" her mother said laughing

"Mama come on please" Miranda begged

"What do you want" she asked rolling her eyes

"Lasagna and garlic bread" she smiled

"I would have to go to the store Miranda" her mom sighed

"Please" she begged again as she heard a knock at the door

"I'll go..now go get the door" she said walking back to her room

"Thank you" she called as she walked to the door

Miranda opened the door and her whole mood changed

"Why are you here" she asked

"I told you I wanted to be with you during this pregnancy....did you really think staying 2 hours away was gonna stop me" he smirked

"How did you even know I was here"

"Because I know you" he smiled

"You don't know shit about me" she rolled her eyes

"Miranda baby-"

"Miranda who's this" her mom walked up behind her

"Hello, I'm Benjamin" he stuck his hand out to her

"How you doing sweetie I'm Helena Mirandas mother" she smiled shaking his hand

"Come on in sweetie, I'm going to the store Miranda I'll be right back" she said letting Ben in and walking out the door closing it behind her

"Well I can see where you get your beauty from" he smiled at Miranda

"Ben stop playing" Miranda sat on the couch

"I'm not Miranda" he sat next to her

"Then how did you know where I was?" she crossed her arms

"How's the baby doing" Ben rubbed her stomach ignoring her question

"The baby's fine" she sat back getting comfortable from the stomach rubs

"Is it a boy or girl" Ben asked slowly moving Mirandas back side to his chest

"A boy" she said getting more comfortable in his arms, putting her feet on the couch as he continued to rub her stomach

"I always wanted a boy" Ben smiled

"Me too" Miranda smiled while pushing the side of her belly

They sat in silence for a while

"What was that" Ben said quickly moving his hand from her stomach

"Calm down, he's just moving around from me messing with him" Miranda laughed

"Oh" Ben said putting his hand back

"Here push down softly right here" Miranda said moving his hand to her side. Ben pushed down a little and gasped as he felt the baby moved again and Miranda laughed

"Don't that feel weird, him moving around" Ben asked rubbing her stomach again

"Yeah, but I quickly got used to it" she closed her eyes the stomach rubs were making her sleepy

"Can you wake me when my mama finish cooking" Miranda asked falling asleep

Ben chuckled and kissed her forehead still rubbing her stomach.

Sometime went by and Helena was walking through the door with a couple of bags

"Let me help you" Ben said about to move Miranda off of him

"No no baby, I got them" she waved him off and walked into the kitchen

Ben slowly moved Miranda hoping she doesn't wake up, he finally got up without waking her and walked into the kitchen

"Can I help you with anything" he asked

"Wash your hands" she smiled

"So how do you know my daughter, and go head and make the noodles" Helena said

"You want the truth?" Ben asked putting some water in big pot

"Nothing but" she said

"I met her at a club, she was beautiful, she is beautiful" Ben smiled as he turned the stove top on setting the pot on it

"Are you a friend?" She asked as she cooked the meat

"Something like that" he put a pitch on salt and some oil in the water and waited for it to boil

"She's not with Eli anymore is she?"

" Uhh no ma'am she's not" he added the noodles to the pot

"I can tell you two love each other..the way you was holding her and the way she looked so relaxed and calm" Helena smiled

" I really do love her" Ben smiled

"My grand baby he's yours I'm guessing" she looked at him

"Yes ma'am he is" Ben smiled harder just thinking about his unborn child

After putting everything together Helena set the lasagna in the oven and set her timer

"Well I hope you two fix whatever it is, I really like you for my daughter" she smiled

"I'm trying" he sighed

"It's not my business on what happened between y'all..just try hard that one is stubborn just like her father was" she chuckled

"Oh, I know" he laughed

Helena and Ben sat and talked for a while as the food finished

"You can go wake her up, I know she's hungry" Helena said fixing everyones plate

Ben went to wake Miranda up and they all ate together talking about almost everything

"I'll put the food up ma" Ben said

"Ma?" Miranda looked at the both of them

"Thank you son...good night you two" Helena said walking out the kitchen

" son?"

"Yeah we talked" Ben said putting up the food

"About?" Miranda asked

"Nothing important" Ben shrugged and walked out the kitchen

"I'll see you tomorrow okay" Ben kissed her on the cheek and was about to walk out

"Wait..where are you staying?"

"A hotel, I'll see you tomorrow I love you"

"I love you too" Miranda said closing the door and went to her room to take a shower and was off to bed.
