A Woman's Choices

Morgan

"Shit" I said pulling back from Kevin which caused him to turn around

Kevin- What's he doing here?

"I don't know but please stay calm" I said grabbing Kevin's hand.

Devale- ( getting out of the car ) I need to talk to you

"Can't it wait?" I asked still holding Kevin's hand

Devale- No! I need to talk now, in private.

"Babe can you go inside and let me talk to him" I asked Kevin nervously, he grabbed my face kissing me passionately "Yea I will" he said as he slapped my ass and walked in the house.

"What do you want D?" I asked him angrily

Devale- Are you with him yes or no?

"I am D, and for the first time in a long time I'm happy"

Devale- Why you doing this? You tryna make me jealous or something?

"Make you jealous? Devale I don't need to make you jealous. I want to be happy and that man in there makes me happy"

Devale- Come on Crys don't act like you don't know how this goes

"Devale, I'm tired I cannot keep hurting myself for you. We had our time over and over again and it didn't work. It's not going to work. I love you and I'll always love but we are not good for each other." I let a few tears fall

Devale- So this is over ( grabbing my waist )

"It's over" I said wiping my tears

Devale- And you can say that to me? The father of your kids?

"D" I said realizing he was still holding me "I can't continue down this road with you and if you love me like you say you'll let me be happy"

Devale- You know what? ( letting go of my waist grabbing my hands ) Crys I'm sorry, you're right I don't know what I was thinking coming here, we've both moved on and you deserve to be happy I just didn't think it was real this time

"You've moved on?" I said holding back tears as much as I was done with him it still hurt to hear

Devale- I have and you know what I'm glad you have as well it's time for some peace in both our lives ( kissing me on the cheek ) I love you

"I love you too" I said as I watched him walk away. The feeling was bittersweet, it hurt a little but it also lifted a weight off my shoulders.

4 months later

Today was the day my water broke. Kevin and I rushed straight to the hospital. He was by my side the entire time. He held my hand while I pushed, cut her umbilical cord and helped me name her "Morgan" is her name. After holding her for a while and feeding her the first bottle Kev took over and let me get some rest. When I woke up he was standing holding her watching me sleep. I seen a bouquet of flowers sitting beside the table next to my bed with a car and teddy bear.

"Hey" I said smiling at him enjoying the view

Kevin- Hey beautiful, you sleep good?

"All thanks to you and all your help" I said smiling as he laid Morgan down and came over to kiss me

Kevin- Now that you're up, I have something I wanna ask you

"Ask me anything babe" I said smiling

Kevin- Crystal the last 6 months with you have been the best 6 months of my life, I know we've only been dating for 4 of those but I'm in love with you. (  getting on 1 knee ) I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I know for you it may be too soon but for me, it feels like perfect timing, Crystal Renee Hayslett, Will you marry me?

I was so shocked I couldn't speak tears began to fall from my eyes as I stared at him. I finally was able to choke up the word "Yes" and he hugged me tightly "I love you baby" he said before kissing me "I love you too" I responded but in the back of my mind I wasn't really sure I meant it.
