The two pink lines on the tests not even surprise mi. It was so early in the morning, I woke up expecting my period, instead I decided to take two pregnancy tests.

I wasn't at all surprised.

My phone is propped up on the sink as I washed my hands. Dre's sleepy eyes gazed at me on the screen.

He's in Florida with his father, he's been gone for almost three weeks, they're preparing for the wedding, him and English went up to help with everything.

They'll be back some time today to get us all prepared.

Ruel only needed his two sons to help him pick out his suit, hire people for the venue, hire security personnel.

The wedding is this weekend, we'll be attending it in Florida.

The ceremony would be private with family, while the reception would have family and friends.

"They're positive" I tell Dre, I show him both tests.

He smiles lazily, "alright".

"Why yuh nuh get some sleep?".

"Mi nuh tired like fi sleep, just tired".

"Anything yuh say", I walked into my room and plopped down on the bed.

Cai was with his grandfather, he hasn't slept with me since we've been here.

"When mi come home we go see Morrison fi make sure everything safe, then we can start make preparations".

I scrunched my face up at him, "you couldn't help yourself could you?".

He laughed lightly, "mi neva hear yuh say no, gwaan like yuh nuh happy".

"I am, I hope everything goes well".

And not like the last time.

"It will, I promise".

He looked up at someone, his eyes watching them carefully, "tell yuh mada dat bumbohole".

Den a who him a talk to so?.

I hear his grandmother call out to him, "D'Andre?".

She sound so surprised fi hear him a talk to somebody like that.

Remember a her baby eno, him cyaah do no wrong.

"A him first start it Mommy" Dre answers back.

He's still watching the person, only thing mi see a when him phone drop and hear him a laugh and a tussle round with somebody.

Bet a him bredda him a play with.

Sometimes dem play like den a still pikney.

"English and D'Andre?".

Mi did know man.

"Yes Daddy?".

Dem sound like two pikney.

I hear Dre laugh out before his phone is picked up again. His eyes squinted at the camera as he rubbed his forehead, there was a name written on it, it started to fade as he rubbed it.

"Yuh mada English", him naah done.

"Yuh know yuh mada?" English fired at him.

"None a unu have mada?" Ruel questioned them both, "hush up before me rass unu".

Dre's phone is knocked out of his hand again, this time he called out his brother's name followed by a fit of laughter. I could hear them running around the house cussing each other out.
