The Way

Chris,

"So she still ain't tell you yet?" Redd asked stuffing a handful of skittles in his mouth.

"Nope....I'm tired of waiting on her though. I might talk to her but if I do I know imma just get mad." I said annoyed. She gotta be at least two or three months by now. I don't see her showing yet but I don't know how she managed to try and hide the shit from me when she do start to show.

"Maybe she tryna find the right words....you did tell her you didn't want kids..." Mijo said. He was right though. I have been telling her that but that don't mean she can just keep it from me.

"Ion give a fuck, all I know is that when she get back imma talk to her." I really just wanted to hear it from Lani's mouth.

Lani,

"If you don't tell him I will." Chyna said as the Asian lady did my manicure.

"Imma tell him geez. I just need some time." She smacked her lips.

"How much time do you need? He missed at least three appointments..."

"Its not like he cares....he doesn't want kids....ever...." She shook her head. Its not my fault he doesn't want to have kids. Talk to Chris.

Each day it gets harder and harder to to hide the secret. I should happy and shit but instead I have to be secretive until I can get enough courage to tell him.

"Trust me...he cares...." I gave her a weird look.

"And how do you know?" She shrugged.

"I just do....you better tell him today or I'm telling him." She warned.

"Today?" I semi yelled. She nodded with a smirk.b

"Wow..." The rest of the conversation was thankfully dropped. While I was getting my hands and feet done I kept thinking about telling Chris. Maybe if he knows I'm pregnant he'll have a change of heart and then we can keep the baby. If he doesn't want the child I'll either leave and be alone or abort the child.

"Imma tell him...." I said mostly to myself.

"Hey baby!" I greeted walking through the front door. Chris, Mijo, and Redd were all watching TV. When Chris saw me he smiled standing up.

"Wassup." He said kissing me. I smiled pulling away.

"Nothing, I do have to tell you something though." I wasn't feeling as nervous as I thought I would.

Redd and Mijo smiled looking from me to Chris.

"Don't just stand there what you gotta tell him?" Mijo urged on a little too happy.

"Get yo dumbass friend....." I said to Chris pointing over at mijo. His smile faded turning into mug.

"Mijo, get some business. " Chris said laughing. I rolled my eyes playfully.

"I'll tell you later." I said about to walk on the kitchen but he grabbed my arm.

"Tell me now bae." He said smiling. I smiled faintly shaking my head.

"It can wait." His smile turned into a frown fast.

"How long have you been waiting to tell me?" He said with an obvious attitude. I scrunched up my face.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You know what it means. How long was you gonna wait to tell me you were pregnant?" His voice started to rise. Who told him?

"Oh shit.." Mijo said looking from me to Chris. We ignored his ass.

"How did you know?" I said lowly.

"That don't matter. Why you ain't tell me?" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not about to talk to you about this right now." I turned my back on him going upstairs. Seconds later you could hear his monster feet coming up the stairs.

"Don't hurt Chris!" Mijo yelled laughing along with Redd. I don't even know why he's friends with them.

"We talking about this shit right now so get comfortable." He ordered like o was a child.

"Last time I checked you wasn't my daddy." I replied smartly. He nodded pushing me on the bed a little.

"Imma ask you one time. How long did you really think you could hide this?" I stayed quiet looking at my hands.

"I need to take a shower." I said going into the bathroom. I was trying to think of anything possible that would get me off this topic with him.

"You need to bring yo ass here." I laughed closing the bathroom door turning on the shower. Just when I got in he bust through the door like a mad man.

"Get out the damn shower Lani. I'm not playing with you right now." His voice boomed low key scaring me.

"Can you please just wait til later?" I asked peeking my head out the shower curtain.

"No. Tired of waiting on your time. Get out now!" He reached up in the closet where we kept the towels and snatched one down along with the abortion pills. I totally forgot about that.

He scrunched up his face reading the label. His face went to from a yellow to a red in a matter of seconds.

Lord help.....
