Just Be Patient (Urban Story)

Chapter 69: Think Twice

"Beautiful don't forget my cake" Jason said to me as he sat on the couch. It has been a couple of days since he told me about this child but I was handling it very well. This happened before me and Jason shouldn't feel bad cause I loved him no less.
"I know baby." I grabbed his plate coming over to sit with him. I was so glad this was behind us for now. I handed him his plate as I eased myself in his lap.
"Ouch" he said as I jumped. He started laughing as I shook my head
"Babe why would you do that. I thought I hurt you" I said as he pulled me back on him. With the extra weight I felt like I could crush him.
"Nah you good sexy. You getting a lil thicker but daddy like that" he said licking my neck making me blush
"J I'm fat." I said to him. Pregnancy was not on my side when it came to weight gain. It was literally like overnight.
"What I tell you bout that. Say you beautiful" he said in my ear. His voice alone still had this huge affect on me. Our attraction never faded.
"I'm beautiful" I said blushing. He was a major role in building up my confidence. He rubbed my thigh as I closed my eyes. The slightest touch drove me insane.
"You ain't goin tell me I'm sexy" he said making me laugh. He was so cocky.
"Nope cause you not" I wrapped my arms around him moving around on his lap.
"Oh foreal. Cause that's not what you said last night." He was sucking on my neck so good. "You was screaming for daddy" I was damn near melting. I was so turned on.
"Mmmm let's go upstairs" I said not moving. He took his strong big hands feeling all over my body.
"I can't have you right here baby" he put my legs on both sides of him as I straddled his waist. He smacked my ass as I kissed his lips. I was so ready to have him right there. We kissed as I took his shirt off exposing his toned chest. He was so sexy and I wanted him so bad until we heard a little voice.
"Ma ma" Haley said whining waking up out her sleep. That was definitely a mood killer. I rested my head on his chest as I exhaled.
"Mommy's coming baby" I said as Jason laughed.
"Go head beautiful. I'm take care of you later" he said kissing my cheek. My job was never done. I got up from his lap going upstairs to tend to my baby. Haley was sitting up rubbing her eyes.
"Okay pretty girl stop crying." I sat on her bed pulling her in my chest.
"Go to sleep for mommy" I rocked her for a minute as she dosed off. I kissed her laying her back down tucking her in tight. "I love you. Sweet dreams" I shut her door leaving her to sleep peaceful.
I made my way to the bedroom as I saw Jason in the bathroom. I sat on the bed as Jae moved around on the right side of my belly. He was relaxed and off to sleep. I rubbed my stomach slowly throwing my head back.
"What my lil man doing" Jason said coming out the bathroom. He got on his knees kissing my stomach.
"J stop you goin make him act up. I want him to sleep" I said massaging his head.
"Aight. Your mommy don't want me to mess with right now but daddy love you man. Imma fuck wit you later. Mommy and daddy bout to have some fun"he said as I smacked his head.
"Don't tell him that stupid" I said looking down at him. I kept staring at him kissing my stomach as my mind wondered. "Jason what are you gonna do if that's your son" I said saying what was on my mind. That questioned burned in my head all day. He sat up blowing his breath looking at me.
"Honestly I have no idea. I been asking myself that for a minute. Taking care of him is not the issue. It's just weird. I don't wanna deal with Jasmine. I'm just use to you. I'm lost" he said as I rubbed his back.
"I know you'll do what's right baby." I didn't know what to do but I was gonna help him anyway he needed it.
"Yeah. I don't wanna do anything that might make you uncomfortable. You just as important in this situation so I want your opinion" he said as I thought about it.
"It's not really about me. That child is more important so whatever you and her decide I'm okay with." I said nothing wanting to say too much. I felt like it wasn't my place to make any decisions.
"Beautiful what you not telling me" he said as I smiled. I didn't wanna go there.
"Nothin baby." I tired to laugh it off but I couldn't hide anything from him.
"Keep it real wit me beautiful. You can't lie to me." I sighed heavily as I said what was on my heart.
"I don't wanna sound selfish but I kinda liked being the only woman having your babies. The first and only. I know it's crazy but I don't want my kids to have to share their father. I sound like a complete idiot" I didn't wanna express them to him but it crossed my mind a couple times.
"Baby I'm sorry" he put his head in his lap as I felt so bad for saying that.
"No Jason it's okay. I shouldn't have even said it. I'm 100 percent behind you and do whatever you have to do" I wanted to just forget everything I just said.
"Beautiful look at me" he took my chin looking me dead in my eyes. "No matter if that's my son or not. Your always be the first. Yeah Imma have to make some changes and spend my time with him too but my daughters won't get any less of me than what they use too. Baby I've been there through both pregnancies and I saw both of them be born. Nobody can replace that. You having my son means the world to me. Your the only woman to give me everything I ever wanted. That shit don't just fade cause of this. Hue your my wife and I love you and my family that we made together. I don't want you to think that I'm going be a half ass father now cause I might have another son. Nothing is gonna change us" he said reassuring me of my fears. I didn't want my daughters to be confused or to wonder why they had never met their brother. It was a lot to take in but I wasn't about to just give up.
"Thank you baby. I needed to hear that. I love you so much" I said to him. I was still lucky to have Jason.
"I see that you do. You ain't leave me yet" he said making us both laugh
"Not yet." I said caressing his face. He was my life.
"Never" he said pecking my lips over and over
"Never J. I'm the only one who can have you. You belong to me" I pushed him on his back as I sat on his waist.
"Mmmm I love that I belong to you sexy. You all mines?" He said rubbing up my back as I hit the light switch next to us.
"Always daddy." I kissed him on his lips then next as I made my way down his body. "I want you to just lay back and let me do the work tonight baby." I was kissing his stomach pulling his pants off
"You got it beautiful" he shut his eyes putting his hands behind his head. I wanted to take all that stress and confusion from him. He needed me right now and I was the only one to calm him when stuff was thrown at him unexpectedly. He was my high when the world made me feel low so many times so I was gonna be that rock he needed to get through this. No matter what had to be done.
__________________________
Today was the day that I got to meet Ms. Jasmine. Jason set everything up so they could talk about what needed to be done if he was his. Jason couldn't even sleep cause he was so anxious to just get it over with.
"Baby calm down. I'm right here" I said holding his hand as we sat at the table. I wanted him to just relax.
"I'm trying. I don't even wanna do this." He was getting frustrated and I knew all this was wearing him down
"Jason I know but that little boy is innocent. Let's see what we can do and go from there. Don't let it upset you okay" I kissed his forehead making him feel better.
"Why didn't I meet you back then. I wouldn't even be in this situation if you was the only woman I ever fucked with" he said making me blush
"Cause you wanted to be trifflin and mess with multiple women so I heard." I said laughing fixing my straight hair. Jason told me all about how he used to be and I knew he was completely different now.
"See I ain't tellin you shit else." He said smiling at me.
"Okay I'm sorry sexy" I said laughing
"Nah you goin have to give me something to show you sorry." He said up to no good.
"What do I have to do so that you'll forgive me" he leaned over whispering all types of stuff in my ear as I shook my head.
"Ummm not happening not now sir. How about a kiss" I said with my hands under his shirt resting it on his stomach.
"Come here" he kissed me slowly as I sucked on his bottom lip. We made out deeply not caring where we were. He was about to put his up my dress until we heard someone cough. I looked up and saw a woman who was standing there with a slim tall little boy. She must be Jasmine.
"What's up man" Jason said standing up dapping him. Now I knew Jason had lost his mind cause this child looked nothing like him. Both Haley and Harley were splitting images of their father and Jason's family had super strong genes. But what added to my suspicion was that the little boy looked nothing like his mother either. Maybe I was trippin but I wasn't buying any of this.
"Jasmine this my wife Hue. Hue this Jasmine" Jason said introducing us
"Nice to meet you" I shook her hand as she looked me up and down.
"And what's your name handsome" I said to the little boy focusing my attention on him. He was so cute.
"Eddie" he said shyly
"Eddie my name is Ms. Hue" he smiled at me hanging on to his mother. "Aww Eddie I know you ain't shy. How about you sit next to me so we can be friends" I said winking at him. No matter how we all got to this point it the only person who really mattered was Eddie. He was innocent and he didn't ask to be here. I wanted to make this easy for not only Jason but Eddie. He was just a child and I had no issue with him.
"Go ahead baby" Jasmine said as we sat down. I brought some crayons with me from home and a coloring book for him. He didn't need to hear what was going on.
"So Jasmine I heard that Eddie might be Jason's. Why is he just finding this out now" I said getting right to the point.
"Well me and Jason never was officially together so when I got pregnant I didn't know how to tell him. I raised Eddie on my own and I didn't need Jason's help until I lost my job a couple of weeks ago. I was in over my head and decided to find him so he can help me with him." I listened nodding my head
"I'm sorry to hear that but are you 100 percent sure that Jason his the father" I asked her
"I'm sure. I was slept with Jason and another guy at the time and Eddie looks nothing like him so it's has to be you" she said looking at Jason. I didn't see the resemblance one bit.
"Imma do everything I need to do if I'm his father. But you gotta understand that I have a family who I take care of. Money isn't the issue but my time is precious to them as well. I wanna be a good father to him and that means he will be around my wife and daughters" Jason said as I agreed
"I have no problem with that. I get that it's all coming at both of you from left field but I just want Eddie to have a father. I can't do everything by myself anymore" she said at the end of her ropes. I could clearly see this wasn't ideal for her either. Jason's assistant was dropping off the DNA results shortly as we sat there waiting.
"Eddie what's your favorite color" I said turning my chair to him as Jason spoke to Jasmine.
"Green" he said picking up the crayon
"No way! That's my favorite color too sweetie. We have a lot in common I see" I said laughing with him.
"Mommy I'm hungry" he said to Jasmine as she looked strange.
"Okay Eddie we can eat after we leave. Just be a good boy okay" she said as I watched.
"But mommy I'm really hungry" he said again to her. Something told me she felt uncomfortable.
"Eddie please let mommy finish okay" we was inside of a restaurant at the table and she didn't even order a thing.
"Lil man what you want" Jason said putting him on his lap. He was already attached to him and I could see why.
"No Jason it's okay. I left my wallet at home so don't worry about it" she said waving him off
"Nah it's all good. I'm taking care of it. He can pick whatever he want" Eddies little eyes lit up as he ran to the counter with Jason. I came here kinda defensive trying to protect my husband and my family but I could feel something was wrong with Jasmine. She looked worn down and everything she was saying said struggle all over it. I was no stranger to being broke and having to lie to save face for others. I could see right thru her.
"I heard the chocolate cake is good here. Maybe you should try it" I said making small talk
"Oh no I'm good. We ate on the way here" she said laughing it off.
"Come on. I can't be the only one being greedy" I said trying to be friendly
"But your pregnant so no one will care" she said laughing. She was actually a sweet person. I looked up seeing Jason's assistant come in.
"Boss lady what's good" Keith said giving me a kiss and hug. I loved Keith cause he took good care of my husband on the business end. He was loyal and always got the job done with no complaints. He was like family.
"Hey sweetheart. Your boy is over there getting something to eat. You can just leave the envelope on the table" I said as he handed it to me.
"Aight I gotta go but tell him I said hi and I'll see yall later" he left as silence came over us. This was the moment we have been waiting for. Jason came back with all this food as he helped Eddie getting him situated.
"Here" I gave the envelope to him as he played with it for a minute.
"I guess we should see what's inside" he said nervously opening it up. It was so tense as he sat there looking over the paper. I was so anxious to just know. The suspense was killing me.
"Well......Eddie ain't mines" he said as Jasmine dropped her head. I know I should be happy but I started to feel bad.
"Eddie come on" she said getting up as I stopped her.
"Babe take Eddie outside for a second" I said as Jason got him and took him out
"You knew he wasn't his didn't you" I said to her as she cried.
"I did but I was hopeful that maybe he was. Eddie has no one but me and I can't provide for him like he needs to. When I called Jason I was desperate. We were moving from place to place and I was on my last dollar. I never meant to come in your life to flip it upside down but my son deserves better than what I can give him. Jason is a good man and I wished he was Eddies father. I just don't know what to do. I wanna give up so bad" she said pouring her heart out. I could understand wanting the best for your child cause they looked at mommy to make everything better.
"I totally get where you coming from I do but you can't just give up. That little boy needs you and when you feel like your losing your strength you gotta look at him. I know it's not easy and having a child it's a lot of work but I see that you love him so much" I said trying to help. It had to be extremely hard on her and I would go crazy if I didn't have Jason with me. I couldn't do it.
"I can't be the mother he needs me to be. I don't have a job and I don't have a place to live. What kind of mother am I" she just cried her eyes out.
"Your the kind of mother who loves her son. Your enduring all of that so Eddie can be happy. Your stronger than you think. Jasmine God don't give us more than we can bear so just have faith okay" she nodded her head as I grabbed my purse.
"This is for you and Eddie. Even though he is not Jason's he can still come around and see us. I know how it feels to have no one" I said writing her a check. My heart couldn't know she and him was suffering and do nothing to try to help.
"Oh I can't take that" she said pushing my hand away
"Then take it for Eddie. I won't take no for an answer" I said putting the check in her hands. She instantly hugged me as I hugged her back.
"God bless you. I can see why Jason is so in love with you. Your an angel" she said causing me to blush.
"No I'm just me. It's easy as woman for us to tear each other down and argue over petty stuff but I'm not that type. Here's my number" I gave my card as she accepted it. "You don't have to call me but I do want Eddie to come around every now and then. I'm having a birthday party for my baby who's turing one so he'll have a blast. You can get a break too" I said waking outside with to meet Jason.
"I can't say thank you enough" she said hugging me for the millionth time
"It's no problem" Eddie ran to her as he showed off his new airplane Jason brought for him.
"Mommy Mr. J got me a plane" he said as I held Jason's hand.
"That's nice baby. Did you say thank you" she said to him as Jason laughed.
"It's all good. We goin let yall get out of here though. Don't be a stranger man" Jason dapped him up as he had the biggest smile on his face.
"Eddie can I have a hug" I said as he ran over to me giving me a hug. He was such a loving child. "Now Eddie I told your mother that I'm having a birthday party soon" his eyes got so big
"Mommy can I go pleaseeeee" he said begging her
"Alright. Now get in the car." She said as he jumped up and down in excitement
"Take care Jasmine " Jason said to her as we said goodbye. He helped me in the car as we drove home.
"Baby I'm glad that's over with" he said as I laughed.
"You! I was worried but I'm glad this happened. I learned a lesson today" I said laying on his shoulder
"Me too. I like Eddie. He a good kid" Jason said with his eyes on the road.
"I know and so cute."
"Yeah he was. But my lil man goin be cute cause he goin look just like me" he said as I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever Jason." I had to laugh cause he was right
"But I wanna thank you for being by my side beautiful. I appreciate that and I love you for having my back" he said kissing my cheek.
"That's my job" I said dosing off on his shoulder. Today was eventful to say the least. Yes I could've been a bitch and told her to leave my husband alone and all types of things but I had to be an example for my daughters even when they weren't looking. I was fortunate enough to have a man who loves me and took care of his whole family. Not every female was as lucky as I was. I knew what I had at home and was grateful. I opted to be kind today instead of throwing my life in her face. She had been thru enough and I never liked for people to kick me when I'm done so I never did that to anyone else. Kindness and love was priceless and it took no time to extend it someone in need of it. Sometimes we think we have or so bad but we have to wake up sometimes and realize that it's always another person who has it worse than you do. I wanted my kids to be gracious humans not because of money but because of their hearts. It's a very cold world but with love and kindness it makes it a little bit warmer for those who needs it most.
