Jonathan: *walks in Shanté's apartment* Why'd you leave your door unlocked?
Shanté: Why'd you open it like you knew it was unlocked?
Jonathan: Where's my baby?
Shanté: Sleep. Don't wake her up.
Jonathan: Ok. Well since she's sleep, I want to talk to you about something. *sits beside her on the couch*
Shanté: Oh actually I wanna talk to you too.
Jonathan: What's up?
Shanté: How are we doing this parenting thing if we're...you know, not together.
Jonathan: That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Shanté: Not you thinking like a dad.
Jonathan: I'm not thinking like a dad, I'm thinking like a guy who's in love.
Shanté: What do you mean?
Jonathan: ...I want to get back together.
Shanté: ...huh?
*time skip*
Jonathan: I'm willing to look past it. Are you?
Shanté: Yeah but I don't want to hurt you again.
Jonathan: Are you planning on cheating on me again?
Shanté: No!
Jonathan: Ok so what's the problem?
Shanté: Nothing. It's just...
Shanté's POV
He leans in closer & cups my cheek with his hand
Jonathan: It's just what?
Shanté: I didn't think you'd want to still be with me. Is it because of Lovely?
Jonathan: It's because of you.
He softly presses his lips against mine & we start to kiss. He lays me down in the couch as our kiss deepens. Before getting too deep into the kiss he stops & look at me
Jonathan: ...I love you so much.
My heart skips a beat as if this were the first time he's told me he's loved me
Shanté: I love you more.
Jonathan: I'm going to let you continue to think that.
Shanté: *softly chuckles* Shut up.
Jonathan: *starts kissing her*
A few weeks later (Shanté's parents' house)
Shanté: I'll put everything in the room, you deal with the parents.
Jonathan: Wha-no. They're YOUR parents.
Shanté: Fine. *rolls her eyes*
Jonathan: *knocks on the door*
SD: *opens the door & sees baby* *😦*
*time skip* In the living room
SD: *holding Natur'el* Why didn't you tell us?
Shanté: We...wanted to surprise you.
SM: Why would you have a baby, Shanté? You're too young.
SD: She can handle herself. She knows what she's doing.
SM: No she doesn't. I told you not to get married-I mean, have a child until you were the age I had you.
Shanté: That's not what I wanted. I said I'd want to start a family when I'm financially stable.
SM: You're too young. Put her up for adop-
SD: Woooaaah! It's not that serious.
SM: Yes it is that serious. They're both too young. They're not even allowed to drink alcohol yet.
SD: Té, Jonathan, I'm happy for you.
Jonathan: Thank you.
SM: You're going to regret it in the long run. *goes in her room*
SD: Don't mind her. She just doesn't want you growing up.
Shanté: Riiight. *goes in her room*
*time skip* In the car
Jonathan: Are you ok, baby?
Shanté: Yeah. She only react like that because I'm a girl but let it be one of my brothers having kids. Then she's all over them. *rolls her eyes* But this something I can't control so.
Jonathan: You're right. All you can do is try to look past it.
Shanté: You think your mom would let us stay with her while we're down here?
Jonathan: Of course.
JM's house -living room
JM: *holding Natur'el* She's so cute. Why didn't you guys let me know about this?
Jonathan: We wanted it to be a surprise.
JM: This is an amazing surprise. What's her name?
Jonathan: Natur'el. But we call her Lovely because that was initially going to be her name.
JM: Awwwww. That's a nice name. Who named her? Té?
Shanté: Actually Jonathan did.
JM: Really? He's been so horrible with names. He wanted to name the dog..what was it?
Jonathan: ...Peanut Wigglebutt.
Shanté: *laughs* Yo what?!
Jonathan: I was 5! *laughs*
JM: *chuckles*
