When I heard him say that I called my father, the white one, so he could know about what I just heard in my mothers case.
"Hello." He said as he answered the phone.
"Daddy I heard him just admit that he did it." I said in the phone between sniffles.
"Who?"
"Mommies ex husband." I said.
"Okay I just need you to come downtown to make a statement and also Deshun." He said.
"Okay daddy. You need to start calling me more. I have so much to tell you." I said.
"Tell me now. Then, we can go out for lunch." He sighed into the phone.
"I mean if you don't wanna go anywhere with me it's okay. My mother was a disgrace but you don't have to look down on me." I said with a tear rolling own my cheek.
"No I didn't mean it like that. I'm just sleepy, I had a case that took me six years to accomplish and the boy is now in jail."
"That's good, but I got into the U of I at Normal, then Deshun got in the Physical Therapy program at the U of I at Chicago." I said.
"That is awesome. I knew y'all would get it together." He said. I could tell the happiness in his voice.
"And uhm daddy, I'm pregnant." I said listening to the silence for 30 seconds.
He cleared his throat. "Okay, okay, I'm going to have a grandchild." He said.
"Yes, I wasn't going to have the baby but it's for Deshun." I said.
"Yes the power of love makes you do things." He said.
"That's exactly what it is, he was looking so sad when I said that I didn't know if I wanted to keep it, and then he was saying that I didn't want to start a family with him. When in all reality I do. I'm not ready for it. But, I'm the one that chose to do what I did, so I have to deal. I don't mean it in a bad way, I can already tell its a girl." I said smiling into the phone.
"Yeah I understand, it was that way for me and your mother when she had you. She was young just the same." He said.
"Yeah well I'm about to head out so I can go and do this statement eat and shop, and do all the other things I need to do." I said sounding like a goodbye.
"Okay baby girl. I love you." He said.
"Same here." I hung up.
I went upstairs to tell Deshun that we need to go and do this statement and run errands together.
He got up quick because he likes to blow money for no apparent reason.
I got dressed in some yoga pants, white T-Shirt, and some black and pink air max with my black MK tote bag.
"We need to buy you a new car." He said to me.
"I'm good, I'm keeping it for a special reason." I told him.
"I understand babe." He said.
We got into his White Cayenne Truck.
"Babe we need to go downtown so we can do the statement." I said.
"Yeah we do, he got some nerve to come in our house doing that." He said pulling out the driveway.
We made our way down the interstate towards downtown.
"We have to go shopping for Ambrie and I." I told him taking a picture to put on instagram.
"You always running our phone bill up." He said.
