MORGAN

I woke up with a start, my heart pounding in my chest.

I wasn't sure what had jolted me awake, but the suddenness had sent me into a panic.

As I lay there, the realization that I was pregnant hit me like a million bricks.

I realized I had to inform Khari about the fact that I was pregnant now.

I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling, slightly.

I quickly dialed his number and when he answered I immediately spoke up.

"Khari, it's Morgan, I need to see you... like right now!" I blurted out.

"What's wrong baby? You good? Why you yellin' ma?" Khari's voice sounded like he was tired and had just woken up, yet concerned.

"I-I took the test... and-and I'm pregnant." I replied, my voice breaking.

Khari was silent for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard."Are you sure? Did you take the test yet?"He finally asked.

"Yes, Journey made me take the test yesterday and it came back positive." I said, tears streaming down my face.

Khari told me to hold tight and that he was on his way to come get me.

I remained in bed for another two minutes just processing my life and wondering what would be the next step.

I quickly got dressed, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts per second. I tried to calm myself down but the anxiety was just way too damn overwhelming.

A few minutes later, I heard a car approaching and quickly rushed to my window to check who it was.

Realizing it was Khari's vehicle I tip toed down the stairs and made my way out the front door, making sure I was extra quiet.

When I approached Khari's car, I realized he look worried, but it also seemed as if he was trying to be strong for me.

I wondered  if he was even ready or fit to be a father.

Either way, I trusted him and had the confidence that he'd be there for me no matter what.

I opened the passenger side door and hopped inside the car.

As we drove, the car ride was dead silent and I couldnt stop crying and sobbing quietly to myself.

I didn't know what I would do with my life or what would be next.

When we got to Khari's crib, he helped me inside and sat me down on the bed as I dried my tears.

He wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly. "I'm here for you Morgan," He said softly. "No matter what happens just know I'll always be here for you and our baby. We can do this shit."

I nodded, my tears beginning to subside. I took a deep breath and looked up at Khari.

It was time to tell him the truth.
