Fayth
The next morning
I woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. I looked over at Malik's side of the bed but he wasn't there.
I was going to tell him that I was pregnant last night but he came home later than I expected and I had already fallen asleep by the time he got home.
Maliyah,Vee, and Paris all sweared to keep this a secret until we announced it to everybody. If there was even going to be an announcement. I still wasn't sure about how I wanted to go about this. I wanted to talk things over with Malik and see where his head was at.
I got up out of bed and made my way to the kitchen where Malik stirred something up. He was only wearing his boxers and he had a blunt in his mouth.
He looked up and smiled when he noticed I came in. "Hey baby,"
"Hey, what's all this?" I asked as I looked at all the breakfast he was making. It looked like bacon,waffles, eggs, and oatmeal.
"I know you haven't been feeling good so I wanted to do something special for my lady. Especially since I've barely been home lately." He said as he started putting everything on to two plates.
"Thank you, baby. That's sweet of you." I said and tears began streaming down my face.
"Why are you crying?" He asked as he rushed to my side.
These stupid hormones. Now was not the time.
"I need to talk to you Malik." I said over my sobs.
"Talk to me baby." He said as he pulled me to the dining table and sat me down. He sat directly across from me and stared at me weirdly.
I felt myself getting nervous. I wasn't sure how he would react to this information.
"I'm pregnant." I said simply and his jaw dropped.
"Are you serious?" He asked and I nodded.
I couldn't tell how he was feeling. He just sat there in shock for a few moments.
"How is this possible? Aren't you on birth control?"
"Yes. I don't know how it happened either. I'm just as surprised as you are." I sighed as I wiped the tears off my face.
"So how do you feel?" I asked him and he looked down.
"Honestly I'm surprised. I figured we'd wait a few more years to have kids. I wanted to make you my wife first. I wanted to do things the right way."
"I guess now we just have to take things one step at a time."
"But are you happy? Do you want this baby?" I asked him seriously.
"Fayth I want whatever you want. I was planning on making you the mother of my kids anyway. I would love to start a family with you if that's what you want."
"Of course I want that. I'm just not sure about right now. Our lives are just now really starting. I'm not sure I'm ready to put my life on pause. We can always have kids later." I said and he scrunched his face up.
"I'm literally a model, Malik. Imagine what a baby will do to my body. My job is my life and I'm not ready to risk that."
"Babygirl you don't have to work ever again if you don't want to. You know ima hold it down for you regardless. I got more than enough money and you do too so I don't understand what the problem is." He shrugged
"You don't understand." I said simply.
"So what are you saying ?"
"I don't know what I'm saying. I'm going to call my doctor and see if she can squeeze me in for an ultrasound. We'll go from there." I said and he nodded.
He got up and grabbed our plates and came back to the table. He sat one in front of me and he sat back in his seat. We ate in a comfortable silence. I could tell we were both thinking about what we wanted.
**** Malik
Later that day
"You really a bitch ass nigga." Deonte told Leon as he squared up with him.
"I told you I ain't do that shit, bruh. How you just gon assume it was me?" Leon asked.
"You the only person at my crib every damn day and night. Ole homeless ass. I know one thing my money better pop back up by tomorrow or ima pop yo ass." Deonte yelled angrily as Ace and Draco tried to hold him back.
"Can y'all take that shit outside. Fayth gon have a fit if y'all break something in here." I asked.
Fayth was currently getting her hair done and she would be home any minute.
"Nah I'm done. I'm leaving. Fuck all y'all niggas. Y'all was never really fucking with me anyway." Leon yelled as he started to walk out the door.
I shrugged as I lit up my blunt. I could care less if Leon hoe ass was riding with us anyway. He was hardly ever around and he was a terrible shooter. And ion like how the nigga always tryna get in my girl pants every time he see her.
I inhaled the smoke and held it in for a few seconds before releasing.
"On my mama, ima kill him whenever I see him. And Malik you better watch out for him. He really a police ass nigga." Deonte huffed as he started pacing back and forth.
"Niggas know not to fuck with me." I said nonchalantly. Anybody who ever crossed me is laid up in a coffin somewhere.
"Anyway, get ready lil niggas. I got some new products that need to be sold. I want my money by next Friday." I said as I pulled out the briefcase full of drugs.
I laid it all out on the table and divided it three ways between them.
"You sell all my shit in time then you get paid. If you don't well y'all know what happens when you don't." I said and they nodded as they grabbed their products and put it into their duffel bags.
My phone dinged in my pocket. It was a text from Fayth.
Fayebaby: I'm almost home.
"Alright y'all get out my crib. My girl almost home. Deonte keep your lil ass out of trouble." I said as they started walking out the door.
"You know me." He said making us all laugh.
Once they were gone I straightened everything up in the house and got comfortable in bed as I waited on my lady to come home.
