"Momma, I gotta to tell you something," I approached her as she was laying in her bed.

I just found out I was pregnant about two days ago. I was nervous as hell. I was only 14 in 8th grade, a 3.96 gpa. I couldn't jeopardize my future for a baby that was brought into the world by rape.

Jackson just came into the room from one of his little 'Business Trips'.

"If you tell your mom, you will never see your mother again, bitch," his voice rang in my ear.

"Loyalty, I need you to make me feel good and don't make me force you,"

"Stop screaming, Loyalty. Your mom is going to hear," he whispered.

"Never mind, ma," I said as I ran out her room.

"Loyalty Parker," the nurse called out.

I dressed up in those paper gowns the doctor gave me and said a quick prayer.
Lord, Please forgive me for the sin
I'm about to commit
Amen

The doctors came and stuck the tube in me. Tears, emotion came through my body and apologies swept through my mind as the sharp pain of my baby being taken out was happening.

"No, no,no!!," I cried.

"Shit! No!!," I yelled.

"Shit!," I yelled as I woke up to a silent house. Julian was gone out the bed and I was the only one in the room.

I put on the clothes I had on last night and walked downstairs. Julian was on the couch watching Spongebob with a giant bowl of Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Captain Crunch, Fruity Pebbles and Trix.

"Ew, nigga. You know your dad will beat your ass opening up all that cereal at the same time."

He looked up and motioned for me to come over to him.

"Try it, Lo. It's bomb as fuck," he assured. I grabbed the large spoon, and fixed a spoonful of mixed cereal in my mouth.

"Oh my Gosh, That is good!," I yelled in excitement.

I cuddled up next to him as he scrunched up his face.

"Goddamn, you need a toothbrush, Lo," he laughed.

"Boy, I smelled your breath all the way from upstairs. That's actually what woke me up," I clapped back standing up on the couch.

A phone call interrupted our laughing session.

"Hello, wassup Pops. I'm chilling with my girl," he responded.

He smiled and he hung up the phone. "I got good news, ma," he exclaimed.

"Wassup, boy," I chimed in.

"My dad wants you over for dinner, he's finally gonna meet you, baby girl," He stated.

My eyes lit up with excitement and anxiety. I got up off the couch and hit the folks. This is the next step to our serious relationship.

As much as I didn't want to leave, I had to go get ready.

"Julian, what time is it?," I wondered. He looked at his phone to check the time.

"3:09 p.m," he said. I panicked. I honestly didn't think it was this late in the afternoon. I gathered up my belongings and grabbed my keys.
