THE GROUP STOPPED their conversation at the sudden voice of the male, adverting their attention towards Donald Senior. "Not at the moment, Donald Senior. We're attempted to take things slow within our relationship. And being married right now would feel . . rushed." Milani told him, placing her eyes onto him. "Well why would you think that now? I mean, you two didn't waste anytime having a baby."

The room was filled with nothing but silence now. "What have and had I've always told you back here in Charolette, Donald?" He asked, it was clear he was getting infuriated over the matter, it was no question.

"A lot, actually . ." He told him, earning a slight chuckle from Derek who was quickly hushed by Mary. "I told you, in church, at home, during school, where ever and even in the bible . . . you and your brother know how strict we are about sex before marriage, unprotected sex at that, and now you mean to come in here and tell me you're having a baby? And god, I don't even want to know what you do, Dalvin." He scoffed, looking at Dalvin for a split second before he looked between Milani and DeVante. The tension in the room began tense and higher than normal, and you could feel it.

"Can't you ever just be happy for once? For me and Dalvin? Or for me alone? I told you I wanted to do music, I came to you with all my heart and soul on that, but you didn't support that because you knew deep down it wasn't going to be church music and that's why you kicked me out even! I'm telling you that I'm welcoming a daughter into the world within the next month and you won't even support that?! Are you fucking kidding me?" He spat, Milani placed her hand onto his, attempting to calm down as his adrenaline was rushing through his veins.

"Now you watch your tone in this house, Donald Earle DeGrate! And don't you dare try and think you can turn this onto me! You decided to support in this devilish secular music that you know I don't approve of in this household. That's on you and your brother. And now you're on the verge of being a father and you two aren't even married? You're twenty four years old, and she looks pretty young herself, give yourself some time!" He argued back, standing up from his chair as Mary attempted to calm him down.

Before DeVante could say anything more, his father interjected with more. "And I don't want to hear that excuse about how two love each other, save my ears for it, I've heard it all too many times before. You both are still children. Donald, you can barely even take care of yourself, you were on the edge of losing your life in result of it all! And now you think you can take care of a baby? Another human being?" He furiously spoke, Milani wanted her words but she felt it was best that she retrained from saying anything, in hopes to not make anything worse. But she deeply felt bad for what was transpiring.
