I was up all night I couldn't sleep after Steven had left. Why did I feel like something was wrong. I needed to tell Braxton about me being pregnant. I can't keep a secret this big from him. He's going to find out anway I want be this small forever. Even if he decides he doesn't wanna talk to me anymore that's fine I would understand.

I sat there looking over at the clock on my night stand. The bright red numbers read twelve thirty am. I got up throwing the covers on the floor. I went into the freezer searching for something to eat. I closed the refrigerator and went into the cupboards. I found a jar of spicy banana peppers they looked so good in that jar.

I grabbed the jar and sat at the table. I opened the jar the smell of them fresh banana peppers gave me life. I sat there eating them one by one I've never tasted something so good on my life. I finished the whole entire jar.

I went into my room and grabbed my phone. If I didn't get more I wasn't going to survive tonight. I walked back into the kitchen and pulled out a chair. I knew Courtney wasn't going to go to the store for me who else could I call.

I called Steven he answered the phone on the third ring "Hello", he said his voice deep and groggy m. I said tapping my fingers on the table, "Steven can you go to the store and buy me some banana peppers please. There was some shifting on his end he said, "You said what Michelle?"

I repeated myself, "Can you buy me some banana peppers please." He said clearing his throat, "Umm..alright I'll be over there in a minute." I said okay and clicked off the phone. I waited staring at the empty jar of banana peppers until he came.

I was going to cry if I didn't get them and he was taking forever. Twenty minutes later of pure torture I heard a knock at the door. I ran to open it Steven had a bag in his hand. I stepped aside so he could come in, "Michelle why do you want banana peppers twelve o'clock in the morning."

I grabbed the bag from him and sat down at the table. He sat in the chair next to me yawning. He picked up the empty glass of banana peppers, "You ate this whole jar of banana peppers Michelle!?" I looked up at him, "Yeah I did they're so good."

I stuffed some of the banana peppers in my mouth. He watched me eat the whole jar I couldn't get enough. When I was finished I slid the jar to him.

"Can you buy me some more please."

He looked at me like I was crazy, "Michelle what in the hell you just ate two full jars of banana peppers I'm not buying you anymore!!" I looked at him with teary eyes, "Please I need them there so good" He sighed, "It's two o'clock in the morning Michelle."

I was going to cry if he didn't get me some more. I sniffled, "I just want some more banana peppers please Steven." He got up and grabbed his keys, "Ok go put some clothes on you big baby." I got up and went into my room throwing on a jacket some sweat pants and my shoes.

I came back he was sitting at the table waiting he looked up, "You ready to go." I nodded and we left out the house. We walked to his car I got in buckling my seat belt, "Are you craving crazy foods now." I laughed at the way he said it, "Yea I guess I just can't get enough they are so good like I feel as if I can't survive without them."

He started up the car and we drove to the supper market. We got out the car walking into the half empty supermarket. I followed him down the different aisles. For the first time I noticed he was wearing gym shorts and a black hoodie. He looked sleepy but he didn't complain I felt bad for waking him up out of his sleep. He stopped and I bumped into him almost tumbling back until he caught me before I fell.

He smirked at me, "Your so clumsy pay attention." I laughed, "You know me well enough to know that I never pay attention." I saw the banana peppers and my mouth started to water. I grabbed the jar he looked at me, "The way you was finna cry because you ran out I think you need to get more than one jar."

I rolled my eyes at him, "Your probably right." We got at least five jars it made me so happy. We got up there to the checkout counter. The total came out to twenty something dollars. He looked at me and took out his wallet. I gave him a big smile and batted my eyelashes.

We walked out the super market. I got in the car and opened the jar of banana peppers. Steven just stared at me, "Girl this is crazy, you really eating all these banana peppers." I licked my fingers and took some more out the jar, "Yeah I just have to have them." We drove down the road to my house.

Pulling up in the driveway I turned to face him, "Can you stay with me I don't wanna be alone." He got out the car holding my bag while I got the keys out of my pocket. I unlocked the door he went into the kitchen to put the jars of banana peppers in the refrigerator.

I went into my room and laid on the bed strolling through Facebook. He came in the room and closed the door behind him. Climbing in the bed he laid next to me, "You and these damn banana peppers girl." I rolled over so I was facing him, "Thank you so much your the best."

He grabbed the pillow from under my head and yawned, "Yea I know." I punched him in the arm for stealing my pillow. He got under the cover and took off his shorts and hoodie. He was in the bed with just his boxer on. I bit my lip he turned around facing me. I leaned over and kissed him. He grabbed me by my hips pulling me on top of him.

"Michelle I'm sorry", he said staring up at me. I looked at him confused, "What..why are you sorry?" He didn't say anything after that he just kissed me. I laid back down next to him breathing heavy. He looked over and smiled at me, "I missed you so much, my chelley baby." I laughed at him, "I miss you too stevey pooh."

He laughed then he put his hand on my stomach. "Our baby has the best mommy." I leaned over and kissed him, "Our baby has the best daddy." He rubbed my tummy it felt good we were going to be the best parents possible to our little boy or girl.
