marcos sat down and looked at her

marcos: how you gonna name him after his dad but he doesn't know he exists?

ariana: im just scared to tell him ok? thats all i wanted to tell him from the start but i got scared because i left and the what ifs and i dont know then the way he gets jealous and im all like huh now that hes here i know i should've told him but will he even believe me?

joe: he will and if he doesn't then its his loss you get to move on with your baby boy ok? just say it do it babygirl we got you

the night went by .. marcos stayed behind as joe went back home

ariana: you dont have to stay ya know?

marcos: you did it alone you shouldn't have to stay alone now

she nodded

ariana: thank you .. thank you for everything i know you mean well and i care about you i do

marcos: then why not give me a chance? clyde dont deserve you he

she shook her head

ariana: dont talk down on him it was just something different im the one that left and broke it off .. im stuck on him because we have a son we have this connection but i wanna try things with you i do but hes his father thats and im messed up as hell to im not perfect ..

marcos: i get it and i respect you i wish my mother wouldve tried with my father to .. ill the uncle i have to be and the homie you need you ain't alone in this tell him about this lil one on the next call do what you have to for him .. but makes sense why clyde changed dramatically
