I walked downstairs to go to work and I saw Chad standing with some older lady.
His mother.
I looked at her and grabbed Kade as he sat in the stroller.
" When do you plan on leaving? ".She asked looking at me
" As soon as I get in from work ma'am " I said as I began walking.
" Mom!" Chad said as he raised his voice
" It's fine, I'm use to it. I'll get us shelter, just like I have before " I said
" You mean by sleeping with guys? " she said
" If that's what I have to do " I said staring at her.
" That's enough mother! " he said looking at her
" just come back and pack your things then leave " she said
" I'll just do it now " I said walking back up the steps as I packed my bag
" Don't go! " Chad said as he walked up behind me
" Look, I think it's best. I have some money saved up and it should last us " I said
" What about my baby? " he asked looking at me
" what about her? " I said as I finished packing our things
" I want to be in her life " he said looking at me
" You don't have to pretend you want this baby. We all know you are embarrassed to have gotten me pregnant " I said as I shook my head
He looked at me and didn't say anything.
" Leave her Be and come back! " His mother said
" I won't tell anyone it's yours. Have a great life " I said as I left the house with Kade.
I went to work as usual and began working.
Jade sat in the booth as I worked
I fed him as I took my break and ate some food also.
My back was killing me and I wasn't feeling good.
I closed that night
" May you give us a ride to the shelter? " I asked my manager
" I'm sorry but we aren't going the same way and I have stuff to do " he said as he got in his car
" It's fine " I said as I began walking quickly.
I walked to the store as I got had a little change on me to get us a water we could share. " $1.27" the casier said as she looked at me.
I dug in my pocket and pulled out my change. I counted it as people began gathering behind me.
I had 60 cents.
I rolled my eyes. " Let me see if I have more change " I said as I dug around in my pocket.
" I got it ma'am " a guy said as he gave the cashier money.
" Thank you sir " I said as I shook his hand and gave the water to Kade first.
" You hungry little guy? " He asked Kade as we stepped to the side
Kade looked at me and then looked at him.
" Are you hungry Kade? " I asked looking at him
He nodded his head
" Here, get y'all something to eat " he said handing me a $10 bill
" Thank you very much " I said as I looked at him
He nodded his head and went to his car.
I saw as he had a wife and a kid in the car with him. I smiled
They must be a very happy family I thought.
I got us a hotdog and to eat and we ate as we walked to the shelter
" It's just the two of us " I said smiling as I practically ran to the shelter before they closed
He wrote down my name and then let us in.
I laid down as I was too tired to even do anything else.
Kade Laid Down in the bed next to me.
I rubbed my belly as I laid there immediately falling asleep.
