So I just heard love yourself and oooooh my god. 😍

Alfredo sighed on the other end of the FaceTime call and I cleared my throat. "You see, it's not completely my fault-" He started laughing then and I rolled my eyes, waiting for him to finish. "Sorry, sorry. I just can't believe you have another anklebiter running around here. How do you know it's yours though I mean..she left for like fuckin' decades."

I sighed. Does everybody think this is a joke but me and Meghan? "I have no idea if it's mine or not but the age checks out..I haven't had sex with Ely in like seven years. Jayda is seven. Kinda checks out if you asked me." Fredo scratched his forehead. "Uh, bro..we need to talk."

I raised an eyebrow at him and he continued. "It's actually a funny story.." He chuckled and continued to rub his head nervously. "You weren't the only one she was having sex with...I guess that's what she meant by she made a huge mistake." My mouth almost dropped to the floor when I started screaming and jumped up from the sofa. "Alfredo, don't fuck with me!"

"I wish I was...she was also with knucklehead Za too so it could be anybody's baby at this point."

"Za's wife is going to chop his balls off.." I said, slightly feeling better that the child had only a 1/3 chance of being mine. He nodded and laughed. "Hell yeah, our people are crazy. I won't be surprised if he wakes up in Rio."

"Naw damn Rio, he gone wake up in Tokyo looking lost as a bitch." We both died laughing. "What about you though? Meghan is going to leave your ass. I hope you know that. Them black girls crazy and don't fool with baby momma drama."

"Well considering I'm on the sofa right now.."

"No, fam. She's going to kill you if it's your baby so you better start planning ahead." I frowned when he said this because it was true. "Alfredo, what am I gonna do, man?"

He just shrugged his shoulders and sighed right after me. "Well, if it helps you, the baby may not be necessarily yours so just go tell her that and see if that helps it." I frowned and nodded. Even though it's only been a couple of hours, I really miss my wife.

"Okay, Fredo. Thanks. I'll call you tomorrow or later on." We said our goodbyes and hung up the phone. It took everything in me but I got up off of the sofa again, swallowed my pride, and walked to Meghan's bedroom.

Meghan
Justin walked in the room quietly, thinking I didn't hear him. He shut the door softly and walked over to me and ran his fingers through my hair. "Baby, I'm sorry." He whispered  and continued to massage my scalp. "I honestly didn't know she had a child and-"

I cut him off by turning over to the other side. I seriously didn't want to hear anything that he had to say right now. "Boo, please..." He sighed and gently shook me. "C-can i hold you? Please? It doesn't feel right when I'm not close to you." I rolled my eyes. "Justin, just go. I don't-"

"Meghan, please. Just let me hold you, baby." I mumbled a couple choice words and finally scooted over so that he could get in the bed too. I could feel his smile even in the dark.

"Thank you, thickness." He said, I sucked my teeth and felt his strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer to him. "I missed you.."

I sighed. "It's only been a couple of hours, Justin."

"So?" He said. "I can't miss my wife?" I hurt shrugged and laid my head back on his chest. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and started kissing it softly. "I know that you're mad at me right now....but I'm sorry. I love you."

"Mhm, love you too." I mumbled. "Promise? If this child is mine..you'll still be with me right?"

"Probably....not." I said and took a deep breath. He pulled me closer to him and said nothing. He just held me tighter. Every time I would try to move, he pulled me closer towards him. "Meghan, I'm not letting you go. You're mine, baby. I refuse to let you slip away from me again."

"How are you going to tell me what I can and cannot do? I'm a grown ass woman, Justin. I do as I please just like you do. If I want to leave you because you have another baby with somebody else then that's what the hell I'm going to do." I knew that this would hurt his feelings, that's why I said it. I had to get back at him somehow, someway.

"I'm sorry.." He whispered against my back and held me closer to him, if that was even possible. I frowned. "Justin, stop apologizing. It's getting really old and annoying." I turned around and snuggled against his chest. He seemed surprised by my actions but quickly adjusted and looked in my eyes. "I've hurt you so many times.."

"But?" I said. There was always a but somewhere.

"But I'm never letting you go. I don't care what I have to do or what I have to go through to keep you, that's what I'm gonna do. You're the only woman in the world for me, Meghan. When you hurt, I hurt too. We're in this thing together...or supposed to be anyways." I frowned. "What's that supposed to mean? I never said I would stop being here for you. I'm just done."

"With what, Meghan?" He sucked his teeth. "This is why we can't ever solve shit! Because you say you're done, I literally break down, you leave me regardless, and then we get back together. It's like a damn cycle! Give it a rest!" I was surprised by his sudden outburst and sat up in the bed. "Is that really how you feel?"

"It is."

"Then why are you still here wasting my time? If I cause you that much pain then leave. You've never loved me right anyways.." He let out a heavy sigh and sat up to look at me. "Then teach me how to love you, damnit because I don't know anymore! All I do is try for you and it's still not enough!"

I rubbed my temples. "Stop yelling before you wake everybody up. Man, I can't wait to go home. I'm so tired of this."

"Then leave." He turned on the lamp beside the bed. His expression was emotionless and his mouth was in a straight line. "If I make you that unhappy then leave."

"If I leave, Justin, I'm not coming back."

"Then I'll help you pack your shit and mail you the divorce papers."
