"Alright... Yeah, love you too, mommy... Bye." Sativa let out a long breath as she hung the phone, clutching the counter in front of her. She had just cancelled her plans with her mother, only making her even more irritated than she was before. "You gonna tell me what you want or are you gonna sit there staring at me like I'm some fucking creature?"

"The pregnancy hormones seemed to set in, or maybe that's just your personality now," He shot back. "Go fuck yourself."

"Listen, I ain't come here to fight with you so we can cut this bickering short right here. I came here for the sake of my child and our relationship." She scoffed, "No, you threw that relationship away when you bailed on me when I needed you most-"

"-Because I wasn't ready for a kid," He tried to cut her off but she quickly stopped him, "Do not talk over me right now." He quickly grew quiet, gesturing for her to go on. "You think I wanted a kid this young? I'm twenty three with a baby sitting on my bladder as we fucking speak. Just like you, I wasn't ready either. But I got over my bullshit and gave my baby boy the love he deserves."

Jack's eyes widened just the smallest bit, but it was enough to be noticed by her, "What?" Her words came out harsher than she wanted them to. She wasn't trying to be such a bitch, but he was conjuring up emotions she she worked months to bury deep. "it's a boy?" He asked, voiciebarely above a whisper.

Her face softened in that moment, "Yeah... I found out today during my ultrasound."

"I wanna be here. I'm ready. I thought about it and I don't care how young we are anymore. It's our baby, Sativa. That child is both of us together and its growing inside of you. I've lost enough time being a dumbass, please don't make me miss the rest of this experience."

Jack was always going to be her soft spot and he knew that for a fact. And while her chest burned hot and heavy, heart telling her to give in, her pride had gotten the best of her in that moment, "I've done this all on my own since I got pregnant. You just randomly showing up, begging for forgiveness isn't gonna magically change my mind."

"And I don't expect it to, ma. Look, if you don't wanna get back together, I can live with that. I get it, I fucked up and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it now. But I wont be able to live with myself if my son gets raised by a single mother."

"You say it like its a bad thing - like it's not already happening," She spoke under her breath. Jack sighed in response, "I don't know what else you want me to say, Sativa."

"I don't know, maybe give me a real fucking apology? I fucking needed you, Jack! I needed my fiancé and you weren't there when I needed you most so I don't know why you expect me to be so fucking forgiving! That's all I have ever been with you and everybody around me-" She let out a screeching groan in that moment, clutching her stomach.

Jack instantly shot up. Then she let out another one. "What's happening?" He asked her from a distance, not wanting to upset her by getting any closer. "It's too earlier for me to be in labor-" And then she let out another one, "Grab my phone and call Dr.Ramirez."

"It's seven, they wouldn't answer-"

"It's his emergency number, just call it!" She shouted. He hurriedly grabbed her phone, typing in the password before calling the emergency number.
