Ever since Tremaine kissed me, I felt some type of way. Does he like me? Was all those things he said to me true? All of these questions ran through my mind, as I was sitting in the tub. Today, I decided to go visit my mother. Why? Because I would like for her to still be in my life and to be a grandmother to King.

I got out of the tub and grabbed my yellow, dry off towel, and placed it around my body. I let the water out of the tub, afterwards. I walked over to the sink, grabbed my toothbrush and brushed my teeth.

After I dried my body off, I put on my bra and underwear, then I put on some black leggings, and a long neon pink sweater. I had my hair up in a messy bun. I just wanted to dress comfortable today. I left out of my room and went downstairs. As I walked down the stairs , I saw Tremaine sitting on the couch, watching Criminal Minds.

"Hey" I said as I walked passed him and into the kitchen. I opened up the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water out. I went back to the living room where Tremaine was "So..I decided I wanted to go see my mom today"

"Really? What made you want to do that? I mean after she kicked you out and everything"

"I just want to see her and talk to her. I would love for her to be the grandmother of King. I mean, she's still my mother ya know?"

"Yeah I understand" he nodded his head "Can I tag along?"

"Sure. Yeah..I would love it if you came" I smiled

"Cool. Let me go put some shoes on"

He hopped off the couch, and turned off the tv. He jogged upstairs as I sat on the couch and waited for him. Minutes passed by and he came down the stairs, fully dressed.

"Ok I'm ready"

"Ok"

I walked out of the house first, as he followed along. He locked up his house and we both got in his Mercedes Benz.

We finally arrived at the old apartment complex I used to live in, with my brother and my mom. Tremaine parked his car in the visitor spot. We both got out of the car. I sighed as I looked up at apartment 247. It still looked the same as how I remembered it. Brown door, with chipped paint all over, a flower pot on the ground by the door, and the 'welcome' door mat outside.

I began to walk up the stairs, to the apartment as Tremaine followed behind me. Standing infront of the door, I froze instantly. I slowly raised up my fist, and knocked on the door. Seconds passed, and the door slowly opened. It revealed my mom as she look surprised. I just stood there and looked at her. She said nothing. She stepped aside and let both, me and Tremaine in

Shawn was sitting on the couch playing his Xbox, Call of Duty to be exact, so he didn't really acknowledge my presence.

"Hey Shawn" I said softly

"Wassup?" He asked as his focus was still on the game. This was his room. When I lived here, I had my own room and so did my mom. My brother had the living room to hisself. It was a 2 bedroom apartment. This was what we could afford, after my dad died.

"Shawn, can you turn off that game? You played that stupid game everytime you wake up in the morning. As you can see, your sister is here"

"Yeah I see" he sighed "I didn't tell you but I saw her at the mall the other day, she completely ignored me. Who cares though. I'm going to shoot some hoops with Cedric. See ya later mom" he said as he paused his game, hopped off the couch and left out the door

I stood there awkwardly as my mom went to go sit on the couch. She looked at me then at Tremaine, then back at me

"So....Taylor, I see your growing" she smiled "How many months are you know?"

"7"

"Wow" she chuckled "7? Two more months to go now huh?" She asked as it sounded a little offensive to me "Who are you?" She asked Tremaine

"I'm Tremaine, I'm sorry I didn't introduce my self in the beginning Ms-"

"Wendy" she cut him off "My name is Wendy. How did you meet my daughter?"

Well I work at Olive Garden ma'am, and she was there one time and she left without paying, so I confronted her and-"

"You ate at a restaurant without paying? You know that is bad right?"

"Well I had to eat something so I can feed myself and my child. I was living out on the streets, remember?"

"This would've never happened, if you would've got an abortion. You didn't have money then, would made you think you or that baby could survive now, huh?"

"Because I thought I can get the help from you" I said as I was getting angry

"How would I be able to help you if I couldn't barely help us? I don't get paid a lot like I used to Taylor, you know that? Ever since your father died we have been struggling financially"

"Mom! He died when me and Shawn were 4! 4 years old mom! That was 14 years ago, we wouldn't have to be struggling financially if only you would've found you another job. A better one!"

"Whatever! You seem to be fine to me. Look at you...your growing. You really went against my wishes and decided to keep the baby huh? I thought you would change your mind"

"Why? Because you put me out on the streets, you thought that would change my mind? No!? I wanted to keep this baby and you know that! This is a human being inside of me. I wouldn't abort it if you paid me" I said as my voice began to crack "I did a lot to survive for me and my unborn child. I stole food, and clothes, everything! Thanks to Tremaine, he is helping me out"

"Helping you out? Your helping her out?"

"Yeah" Tremaine said sternly "I am. She staying with me now, she got a room and everything. I took her shopping and bought her all the things she needs. Which is suppose to be your job! A mother who is there for her, a mother who cares, but now that I see, your nothing. What kinda mother are you? She doesn't have a father and now she doesn't have a mother. That's sick to me!" He yelled as tears formed into my eyes "You should be in her corner! Don't worry about it now, I'm taking care of her, because I got a heart. Besides, I also stepped in to be her son's father"

My mom stood there in shocked as Tremaine talked to her. Tears fell from my eyes as I stood there as well

"I came here to tell you I would love it if you can be in my son's life and be a grandmother to him" I said softly "But now I regret coming here. Let's go Tremaine" I wiped my tears away as I turned around and left out of the apartment

Tremaine followed behind me as we both walked to his car. I got in and he got in afterwards. He put the key in the ignition, but before he started the car, he looked at me

"You okay?"

"I think so" I nodded my head "Thank you for sticking up for me"

"Don't thank me" he said as he grabbed my hand "Your a strong girl. You know that?"

"I try to be" I smiled weakly

"I can't wait to meet my son"
