~chapter 3~
"Kai..." Mena trailed off as Kairi continued the drive along the highway back to Orlando.
Kairi sighed before rubbing a hand through her hair "I know"
She leaned her head on her hand that was propped up on the window. Staring at the road ahead in silence.
"What are you going to do?" Mena crossed her arms looking at her friend who held a hard stare.
"What do you mean what am I going to do?" Kairi briefly looked over at Mena before focusing back on the road.
"Well you have to tell him" Mena shrugged in a matter-of-fact way.
Kairi blew out a breath "Mena what do I say?" she furrowed her eyebrows switching lanes to pass a car "Hey we had sex two years ago and we have a son together"
"Yes exactly that" Mena pointed out "you have to be honest with him Kai"
Kairi sighed in defeat knowing her best friend was right "I know I do but how would he react"
Mena shrugged "there's only one way to find out and that's by telling him"
The girls switched the conversation for the rest of the ride. Kairi dropped her best friend off at home before making the short drive back to her house.

It was a normal day the shop and Kairi was just finishing up her last client for the day. The client paid and thanked her on the way out.
Kairi grabbed all her things as she was leaving early. She turned to Mena who was doing her clients nails "Hey don't forget to lock up"
"I got you girl" she nodded focusing on her client's nails.
Kairi did her usual, stopped by at her Aunt's house grabbing Zaire before going home. She fixed an early dinner, deciding to cuddle up with Zaire on the couch feeding him a bottle.
She turned on Love Island throwing a blanket over them. In the middle of the show her phone lit up. She checked to see that it was a text from Isayah. They have been texting off and on for a few weeks. She could admit he was quite the charmer but she was still apprehensive on when to tell him the news.

Isayah
What's up shawty
Heyyy nothing much what's up with you?

Awe you got beat up pretty bad?
Don't play wit me you know how I do
-----------------------------------------------------
Kairi laughed lowly making sure to not disturb Zaire as he slumped off. She picked him up and brought him to his room.
She slowly laid him down in his crib, placing a soft kiss on the top of his head. She grabbed the baby monitor and cut on the lowlights, going across the hall to her room.
Once she did her night routine and changed she got an incoming FaceTime call from Isayah. She answered and got comfortable in her bed.
She could tell he just out the shower by the few lingering droplets of water on his tan skin. He was tying up his durag when he looked down at her seeing the call connected.
