Standing in his studio—Rome stared at the last set of images he had to choose from to get out up for his photography show in three weeks. Rome had everything set so far but he was finding it hard to choose between a photo of him and Sheila or a photo of Sheila by herself. Although Sheila had a rocky past when it came to his mother—she was still a big part of who he was and a special person to him. This would be the first time he included her in one of his shows and of course he'd gotten his mothers approval before making this decision considering she always made sure to attend his shows.
Rome was trying his best to distract his mind from the fact that today was the day him and Payton would be going to pick up the pills for her to terminate her pregnancy. After a long, painful talk with each other when they returned from vacation, Rome and Payton had agreed that this was the best decision and Rome had put his feelings to the side to make sure he did what was best for his fiancé. The two of them cried together as they tearfully made the appointment.
Rome was hurt about it but he knew this was for the best. If it was meant for them to have another kid in the future, they would.
Hearing the doorbell to the front door of the studio, Rome furrowed his eyebrows and rounded his desk before striding over to it. A smile gracing his face when he seen Shayla standing here. "Hey momma." He smiled once he'd opened the door for her to enter. His studio was only open Thursday through Saturday for shoots and tours.
"Hi my baby. How are you?" Shayla asked as she walked over to his desk and sat the food she'd cooked for him and Payton down. Her eyes scanning the picture of Sheila in the process.
"Anxious, nervous." Rome said as he made his way over to her. "The appointment is at twelve and I have to go pick Payton up from home. I know this the best decision but it hurts mom. That's my baby girl or baby boy in there and it hurts to throw that innocent child's life away. They ain't ask to come in this world. If I would've known Payton had no desire on keeping another baby, I would've been more careful. I feel like I just was careless now."
Shayla frowned. "I know baby but you didn't know. I know this decision is hard but God knows your heart. He knows you never meant any harm and he knows Payton doesn't mean any harm in making this decision. I know it hurts but it's better to have your wife them to possibly lose both your child and wife in the long run." She expressed to him. "Don't be so hard on yourself. Now you just know for the future to be more careful and to pull out and not shoot the club up."
Rome chuckled. "It sounds so weird hearing you talk about shooting a club up." He shook his head.
