Baby steps👣

Step 16

Darrian's p.o.v

I'm currently on a date with J.T. We haven't really discussed if we're actually together or not, but I like it that way. I just want nature to take its course. It's been 2 weeks since me and D had that big fight at my house, and I haven't heard a word from him since I know I told him I didn't want to see him, but I don't want him to miss out on important stuff like doctor's appointments or the gender reveal or baby shower.

What are you over there thinking about? J.T asked

"Oh nothing," I replied.

You're thinking about him, huh?

Yeah," I replied shyly.

It's ok, I get it; he's your first and the father of your kid; those feelings aren't just going to go away, Darrian."

"I know I'm just so worried about him. He's so prideful and reckless. You never know what he's going to do next. I'm scared for him. I don't know if he's going to make it to see our kid, or if he'd be in jail or worse."

"Come on, Darrain, you know you can't control him; if he wants to do right, it's got to be on his own terms."

"I guess you're right, but anyway, are you ready for your last game? I hear everyone's going to be there," I said.

I don't care about everyone else; I just want to see you there. You're going to be my good luck charm."

Oh, really, and what if I go and y'all lose? I asked

"Then so be it, but I'll still have you, he said.

Oh, you are so sweet, J.T., will your family be there?

Yeah, my mom and my sister will be there. And I'm not close with my dad, but I can't wait for you to meet them."

"You think I should meet them already? That's pretty major."

"Well yeah, I want them to know that I'm serious about you, and I met your mom, so it's only right for you to meet mine," he said, laughing a little.

"You sure? I mean, I come with a lot of baggage, and it's a lot to explain to your family, and I feel like I'm partially responsible for what happened to your face. I don't want to start off on the wrong foot with them.

"I told you, Darrian. I don't give a fuck about what others think; I care about you. I know the baggage that comes with you, and I have accepted it, whether that's DD's lunatic ass or your precious baby. I'm with you."

"Thank you baby, so you ready to go ?" I asked

"Sure" he replied

We left money on the table for our waiter and exited the restaurant. J.T. put his arm around me. I felt so warm and safe. We made our way outside the parking lot, where we were met by a bunch of guys surrounding J.T.'s car. I wasn't familiar with any of them except for one.

"Wick?"

"Wassup Darrian"

"What's going on? Why are y'all surrounding the car?" I asked.

"I was hoping to catch you. I saw the ole boy's car, and I knew you would be with him. Can I talk to you privately?

"Na he good right where he at," I heard J.T say from behind me.

Alright, then I'll just say it straight out: why are you taking DD's right to be a father?

Well, Wick, first of all, it's not your business, and second of all, I haven't done anything yet; I just threatened him with that so he would get his shit together."

Well, don't ever threaten my brother like that again; he's going to step up. You just gotta give him a chance, and if you're thinking about filing for full custody, it will be the worst decision of your life, and that's not a threat; that's a promise."

"Watch how you talking ; don't threaten him; he's pregnant," J.T. said.

"For now, Darrian, don't get comfortable; you can't hide behind that baby forever," Wick said.

Wick, what are you saying? I asked

"Keep this shit up, and sooner or later you'll find out." Wick replied

With that, he and the rest of his entourage left for their cars.

"Yo what the fuck was that ?"  J.T asked

"I really don't know but I'm scared. you think DD really wants to hurt me or the baby"?

"I honestly don't know Darrian i really hope he wouldn't you don't deserve that" J.T said

"Babe can you just take me home? I'm tired"

"Yeah let's go" he replied
