"You wanna go over to my parents?" Chance asked.

"To tell them the news?" I asked.

"Yeah," he mumbled clearly annoyed with my presence.

"How do you think they'll take it?"

"I honestly don't know." He stated.

"Then it can wait a little longer. Maybe when I start to show then we can tell everyone." I told him. "I have to talk to you though," I said as I leaned up on the headboard.

"Go ahead, I'm listening." He said as he ate his bowl of cereal.

"So remember I told you my dad was in the group home for battered men?" I asked as he nodded his head. "Yeah he's in there because of your Aunt Diane" I said searching his face for any type of emotion.

He then gave me this look that meant to continue with the story.

"So because of her actions, I don't really like her. She sort of ruined my dad's life"

"How?" He mumbled with his mouth full.

"They were dating, she was with Chip the whole time, she never told my dad she had kids and she physically abused my dad after taking all of his money," I told him.

"Oh forreal?" He asked as he drank all of the milk out of the bowl as I nodded my head. "That's crazy, we all fam now though," he told me.

"I know but."

"But what?" He asked. "They gon have to put aside their differences because we're getting married. A union of two families," he sassed.

"Okay smart ass," I said as he put the bowl in the sink.

"Don't you need to be sewing or some shit?"

"Yeah," I chuckled before I walked up the stairs. "Oh yeah Norma called me today wanting to give me my job back after she explained to me that there's a few people who want me to work for them." I said as he nodded his head plopping on the bed. "I refused her offer,"

"Yassssss hunty, my baby betta' do zat!" He said in a girly voice as he snapped his fingers.

"Stop playing," I said as I started laughing.

"Nah but forreal baby, I'm proud of you." He said as he pointed at me signaling to come over to him.

"Thanks, that mean a lot to me. My hardwork is getting noticed," I said as I straddled his lap as his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Keep it up," he said before he kissed my lips. "I'm gon be at your next shop, it's next month right?" He asked as he rested his head in my chest.

"Mhm, and your support is all I need" I said as he pecked my exposed breasts as I ran my fingers through his nappy ass head. "I gotta get to work," I said as I kissed his lips one last time.

"What you wanted me to do again?" He asked as he helped me stand on my feet.

"Make the website," I said as I pulled my box of materials out.

"Oh yeah, I gotchu." He responded as I leaned against the headboard and started putting my fingers to work as Chance occasionally distracted me.

"Come on baby, you gotta eat dinner." Chance told me as I was stitching a new sweater.

"Aight, let me just finish this."

"Nooo, it can wait." He said as he grabbed my hand pulling me up from the bed as we walked to the island in the kitchen.
