Corahn opened the door. When he saw me he gave me the tightest hug while bringing me inside the house
"Missed you" Corahn said
I nodded my head " I know"
"Im glad you came today"
" Yeah , I know both you and mama lockridge can use some support today" I looked over at the kitchen and saw that food was made
"You cooked ?" I asked
Corahn smiled a little "I thought i should do something to calm my mom down before she hears the news .. "
"yup your mom loves her food"
Corahn laughed a little " Like always .. can I tell you something ? "
"Sure"
"Um Janie is letting me name the baby"
I made a confused face " really ?"
Corahn nodded his head
"What if the baby is not yours ?" I asked
"She doesn't care she still wants me to name it"
"are you ok with that ?"
Corahn shrugged his shoulders " I don't mind"
"have any names in mind ? "
Corahn smiled and looked at me " some "
"tell me"
" well I like Malaysia, Sammie, or Aliyah .. but then I wanted to name her after someone very special .. so I came up with Skyla " Corahn smiled at me
I looked away from Corahn " Corahn not to be rude or anything but I wouldn't want the baby's name to be named after me "
Corahn made a confused and sad face "how come ?"
"Because the baby might not be even be yours "
"you know I want this baby to be mine .."
"What ?? why ?? " I asked in a shocked tone
"Because I can just imagine holding a little girl in my hands and giving her the world , I mean having a baby girl is something beautiful " Corahn explained
"of course it is but not at your age , Cor if this baby isn't yours don't break your back for her"
Corahn shook his head " I don't know if that's possible , I don't want that baby growing up without a father .. I know how it is not to have a father and I don't want that for her "
"if you take in a baby that isn't your , your whole life is going to change"
Corahn shrugged his shoulders " Maybe chnage isn't such a bad thing "
"why do I smell food in this house ??" Mama Lockridge asked in amazment coming inside the house
"You ready ?" I whispered to Corahn
Corahn nodded his head with a small smile on his face

"How did she take it " Bella asked while playing with her ice cream
"she cried her eyes out .. god I felt so bad for her "
Bella sighed "poor lady hopefully this baby isn't his "
"Doesn't matter he's keeping the baby no matter what "
"Are you serious ???"
"yes but we will have this conversation another day" i said rolling my eyes
Bella nodded her head " i need to talk to you about something "
"Shoot"
"I found out about how Anthony's got that money almost two weeks ago " Bella said
I widden my eyes " like .. you know everything ?"
"yeah ... it's kinda hard for me to talk about it , that's why it took me so long to talk to you about it"
I shook my head " No I understand"
"He said hes gonna stop in a couple of months when he gets the amount of money he wants "
"Are you okay with that ?" I asked
"Hell no .. but he said he's gonna stop soon and I believe him so .. "
"He's gonna stop soon ,he would give up anything for you he truly loves you"
Bella smiled "yea I know I just wish he didn't have to do stuff like that .. I don't know how I would live if something happened to him "
I pulled Bella into a hug " everything is gonna be alright I promise "
