Tae and I had been sitting in the upstairs bathroom for at least ten minutes at her mom's house, we were here for Sunday dinner.
Mason and Ry were playing in one of the guest rooms, her mom ended up turning into a playroom for the kids.
"I can't believe this... m-maybe I need my glasses. I swear I just thought it was period cramps."
I brought my fist to my mouth as I held up the two other tests that said positive.
"Nah, it's positive, we're having a baby." I said as she rested her head in her hands, I don't think she was upset, shock? Yes, but upset.. Nah. "I do need to tell you something though.."
"What?" She said looking over at the pregnancy test before looking up at me. I sighed and leaned against the counter trying to figure out how I'd tell her.
"When we had sex.. Uh.. the condom broke, but I didn't realize it until-"
"What?! Chris why didn't you say anything before?!" She questioned anger in her tone as he brows furrowed, she put her hands on her hips as she awaited my answer.
Shit.
"I...by the time I realized it you were already asleep, it was late at night and-"
"So you decided to keep it from me!? You're trying to trap me Christopher?! I can't believe you'd do-"
"Nah?!, what?! I wouldn't do that to you mama. I swear." I said beginning to pace the bedroom after stepped out of the bathroom. "I just forgot to tell you, it slipped my mind-"
"You forgot?.. Hmm..." She said nodding her head and waking past me, I watched her as she threw on my old hoodie she wore earlier today. "Well since you're so "forgetful", let's forget that Mason and I were sleeping over tonight .. I'm going home after we have dinner I can't even look at you right now." She said slamming the bedroom door shut, I followed behind her as she made her way to the staircase, I grabbed her arm pulling her back.
"Baby-"
"No Chris!" She whisper yelled at me, I was taken aback by her outburst but it was justified. "You kept something important as this from me?!, what else are you keeping from me?!" She questioned as I shook my head, I couldn't tell her what I did to Desmond, so I just stood there. "You know what, until your memory comes back, you won't be seeing either of us, we'll talk about the baby when I'm ready." She said as my face softened, she pulled and headed back downstairs.
I stood there for a minute trying to process everything, the last thing I wanted her to think is that I was trying to trap her.
I made my way downstairs, my eyes immediately landed on Tae as she was making herself and Mason a plate of food.
"You two alright? Y'all went upstairs and came back upset, it's written all over your faces." Ms. Jennifer said as the stuffed a cloth into Mason's shirt so it wouldn't get dirty from the spaghetti. My eyes drifted to Tae as she scoffed and rolled her eyes at me before sitting a plate in front of Mason.
