This Is No Ordinary Love

18. What Happens in the Dark - Part 2

TREY’S POV

“You got my fucking daughter pregnant nigga…!” That comment echoed in my head, it took me a minute to comprehend what the fuck was going on.

T: No, no, no…I said as I pulled away from the hug and looked into Renee’s eyes. What about the pill? I thought if you took it within 24 hours we were ok

ML: So you been fucking my daughter without using protection? He says as he stands up like he’s about to do something. Honestly I was a little shook, I mean I aint no punk, but Mr. Lewis was a big nigga, he was built like a fucking football player or a body builder.

R: No Dad I fucked HIM without a condom and you know what? It was amazing. So amazing in fact I did it again…and again…and again. She said rolling up on her Pops like she was about to do something. Nae doesn’t act like this, especially not towards her father; she’s a Daddy’s Girl so I know that something else had to have happened.

ML: Tina, get your daughter before I put hands on her.

R: Do it! I fucking dare you! She said. It looked like it was taking everything in Mr. Lewis not to put his hands on Renee.

Tina: The both of you please just stop it. She said as I pulled Renee back.

MA: Trey we talked about this. I didn’t want you two to have to struggle the way that I did. Why do you insist on learning things the hard way?

T: Mumma, Mrs. Tina, Mr. Lewis… I’m sorry, it was something that just happened and we thought we took care of it but I guess not.

MA: Well I guess I gotta prepare to be a Grandmother.

R: No…you don’t …right James? She said as she began to cry harder. I looked over at her and couldn’t believe what I think she was saying.

MA: Oh my God! James you didn’t?

ML: I did what was right.

R: No you did what was convenient for you. So you could continue parading around the perfect little family with the perfect little daughter who was going to the perfect school to be the perfect student athlete.

ML: It was the right decision Renee!

R: It wasn’t your decision to make James!

ML: Stop calling me James! Show me some fucking respect I am your Dad!

R: No my Dad wouldn’t have made me do what you did…my Dad died when my baby died. She said as she stood up to walk out. I could tell by the look on his face that her comment hurt Mr. Lewis. He sat back down in the seat and looked like he was trying to hold back tears. I can’t believe she had to go through all of this without me. It hurt like hell knowing that she had to get rid of my baby, and it hurt even more seeing how broken it left Renee. I pulled her into a tight hug and she just broke down in my arms. Why did he make me do this, it was ours Trey. I just held her as the tears began to run from my eyes. My Mumma and Mrs. Tina were crying as well. I didn’t know what to say, there was honestly nothing I could say at that moment that could make things better. Mumma stood up and wrapped her arms around the both of us.

MA: I know you two are hurting right now but you guys are young and having a baby right now would be really hard.

R: I know Mama April, but there were other options, why did he have to kill…our baby. You were 17 when you had Trey, and my Mom was 17 when she had me and look how good you guys turned out.
