Kam's pov:
"Wah dis?" Shane asked while holding up the pregnancy test.
I sat up in the bed slowly, my hands started to sweat.
"Um"
"Yah breed?" He asked and squinted his eyes at the test
I nodded unable to speak.
Mi feel like a dummy.
"A jus now u find out?" He asked and I nodded again.
Come on nuh Kam.
Speak tf up.
It became hard to swallow my own saliva.
"Mi nuh want no pickney" he said and threw the test on the bed.
"What?" I asked.
Shocked was an understatement
"Wah u mean yuh dont want it?"
"Exactly wah mi jus seh, mi doh want-"
"No! Yuh lay down wid mi an get mi pregnant. U neva use no condom and yuh shoulda deh think bout yuh fucking actions. Bout yuh nuh want no pickney" I kissed my teeth.
"Memba mi tell u seh yah guh siddung wid mi, gah every rass doctor appointment, put up with my mood swings, cravings and everything that comes with pregnancy because I refuse to do this by myself!" I shouted at him

So I dont know what Shane talking about.
"Listen mi nuh, mi young, mi affi deh work fi provide-"

"Matter a fact let me get up before u mek mi hurt u in here enuh. Mi nah sleep beside u no more and u can forget bout breakfast cuz I'm not cooking shit!" As I was about to open the bedroom door i heard him laughing.
I turned around and and sailed the blanket I had in my hand at him.

"Babe bill" he held my hands trying to block my hits.
I stood up and started breathing heavily.
If mi neva love him mi slaughter him right yasso.
"A joke mi did a mek" he smiled at me.
"Which joke?" I sniffled
"Why mi wouldn't want a baby with the love of my life?" He pulled me in between his legs.

"Hush babe, ofcourse mi want the baby. Mi anuh eediat fi lef u alone with a child wah me help mek. A fi mi seed suh mi aguh tek care of it and mi nah go ever leave u" he pulled my face down to his and kissed me on my forehead.
