Sunday Morning
Fatima wakes up and eats a light breakfast and coffee. She then goes to put on some comfortable workout clothes and 90s R&B music while she does a little house cleaning.
After she finishes cleaning. She calls Zac.
"Hello," says Zac.
"Hey, Zac. This is Fatima."
"I know. What's up?"
"Look, I just wanted to call you to tell you what happened yesterday. Lori and I saw Karen."
"Ok, and what happened?"
She told him everything that Loris said.
"Are you for real?" asks Zac.
"Lori can be a lot of things, but one thing she is not is a liar."
"I can't wait till this is over. Fatima, she was never this crazy when I was with her."
"Well, maybe you had your blinders on, or you were just as crazy."
"Hahaha, Fatima."
They both laugh.
"I guess we both got some crazy exes."
"I think mines got yours beat," says Zac jokingly.
They continue talking and laughing until 30 minutes pass.
"Alright, Zac I got to go. I have Sunday dinner at Madea's."
"I could use some of Madea's mac and cheese right now."
"Bye Zac."
"Fatima, I'm sorry things didn't work out."
She hangs up and gets ready to go to Madea's.
Madea's House
Knock, Knock.
"Who is it?" says Madea.
"It's me, Fatima."
Madea goes to open the door. "Why didn't you use your key?"
"I forgot it at home. Ooh it smells good in here," says Fatima. "What is it?"
"Ribs, Jerk Chicken, rice, and mashed Potatoes with buttered rolls."
"Madea you always know how to spoil me with food. Is Auntie of Mimi coming?"
"I don't know, hell. You don't want to spend time with your grandma?"
"Now you know that is not it, Madea, I just was wondering."
"How's it going with that boyfriend, Zachariah?" asks Madea.
"Zac? We broke up."
"Shoot I liked him. He was a nice guy, better than Ian."
"Yeah, but he has a lot going on with him right now."
"Here come to make you a plate." Says Madea.
After making their plate, they say grace, and start eating. As soon as Fatima starts eating the jerk chicken it starts to come back up. She runs to the restroom.
When she returns Madea just looks at her.
"You, ok? Now I know that's not my cooking, and you ain't sick again. Fatima are you pregnant?" asks Madea.
"Yes, Madea. I am," says Fatima.
"How far along?" asks Madea.
"7 weeks," Fatima answers.
"And who's the daddy?"
"It's Zac's, of course."
"You keeping it?"
"Madea?!"
"Just answer the question."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"You told him yet?"
"No, not yet.
"What you waiting on?" asks Madea.
Fatima just eats the ribs and bread, that's all that will stay down.
"I'm just not ready, but I will."
"How do you feel about it?" asks Madea.
"Feel about what? The baby or Zac?"
"Both. About having a baby and it being his."
"That's the part I'm struggling with Madea. I don't know." Fatima starts to tear up again.
"Whatever happens you know I'm here for you."
"Thank you, Madea."
Madea gets up to clean the table.
"You need any help with the dishes?"
"Naw I'm good. Take a plate with you."
"Ok." Fatima fixes her plate and then leaves.
She goes home, runs her a nice bubble bath, then gets in bed to watch Real Housewives until she falls asleep.
A bang on the door wakes her up.
Who the hell is that? Fatima thought.
Fatima goes downstairs and the banging continues.
She grabs her bat. It is 10:00 at night.
It's Ian. He is drunk.
"Ian get the hell off my property before I call the cops."
"Oh, so you think you can leave me and then move after all that I've done for you."
"I'm calling the cops."
Fatima calls 9-1-1. The cops are there in about 15 minutes.
"Ms. Wilson, would you like to press charges?"
"Yes."
"The officer takes her statement and then leaves with Ian."
Fatima was about to call Zac but decided against it. She called Madam.
She tells her what just happened.
"Mimi, can you stay the night with me please?"
"Yeah T, I am on my way."
20 minutes later, Madam arrives.
"So, what you are going do? He's not going to be locked up for long."
"I know. You told me to tell you when, so when."
"Ok, I got it handled," says Madam.
"I'm sick of his ass," says Fatima.
They go upstairs.
"Can you sleep in my bed with me tonight?" asks Fatima.
"Aww like when we were teenagers," says Madam.
They get ready and go to bed.
