Finally around 8pm the baby shower ended. I can honestly say I enjoyed myself which was shocking. Jessica's family was really warm and welcoming to both me and micah.
I was a little nervous about micah being around them but turns out I had nothing to worry about. They doted on micah like he was part of the family. By the end of the night micah had 8 girlfriends at least.
"He's knocked out. I guess all the festivities tired him out" jessica said holding micah. I nodded my head as I watched jessica gently rock a sleeping micah.
I knew I was probably pushing my luck. I had completely went against what angel said about keeping micah away. I did feel kind of guilty but as I thought more about it I started not to care. Angel had micah around aiden all the time and I asked her not to but she still did it.
So why should I respect her wishes when she didn't give me the same respect. "King are you okay? You look out of it" jessica said breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah just have a lot on my mind. Plus I'm tired work has been kicking my ass" I said rubbing my neck. That part was true at least, since micah was born I've been pulling more hours at the shop. Being a parent as I came to find out was highly expensive.
"I can tell. Don't overwork yourself. I need you in good health for when the baby comes" she said winking.
I laugh." Don't worry you can count on me" I said looking at micah.
"King I've been thinking...." oh god we were doing so well.
"About what?" I asked.
"I know you wanna get a dna test and I just wanna say I'm cool with it. I can understand why you might be doubtful" she said.
"Wow jessica. You actually sound mature. Are you feeling well? Do you have the flu or something" I said touching her head. She laughed and swatted my hand away.
"I'm feeling fine. Its just this pregnancy has put a lot of things into perspective for me. This isn't my first pregnancy you know" she said looking away.
Well that was shocking to hear." What happened did you have a miscarriage?" I asked nervously. If this was a medical thing with her I needed to know for the sake of my unborn child.
"No. I had an abortion. I was young and selfish at the time thinking that a baby would slow me down. Not realizing their the most precious gift to have. I also hurt the guy I got pregnant by when I got rid of it. Now that I think back on it I was a terrible human being. I never wanted to be that way ever again. So after I met you I thought I had a second chance. I might've went about it the wrong way but I'm glad I have a second chance at being a mother. So thank you king and I truly am sorry for breaking you and angel up. I hope one day you can forgive me"
I was literally speechless. I would've never thought Id live to see the day jessica apologized for all the wrong she has done. " I don't know what to say. This was really unexpected." I said.
Jessica waved me off." Don't say anything. I just wanted you to know Im sorry. Anyways you should probably get micah home its getting kind of late" she said.
"Your right" I said reaching for micah. After handing him over me and jessica just stared at each other.
"GoodNight king"
"Goodnight jessica"
.............
The next morning
I was woken up by micah biting my nose. I laughed and pulled him off of me." Morning buddy" I said ruffling his curls. He just smiled and hid his face.
After getting me and micah ready for the day I head downstairs to make breakfast. I sit micah in his high chair and turn the bubble guppies on.
" what should we have for breakfast" I said looking in the fridge.
"Micah's having his formula because he's not old enough to eat solid foods yet" uncle robert said walking in the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"Says the man who got my son addicted to cake.You really need to stop popping up at my house unannounced. You have your own place why are you always here" I said jokingly.
"Because I have to see my grandson somehow" he said smiling at micah.
"Yeah right. You see him damn near everyday" I said.
Uncle robert gave me a serious look which made me think his visit had nothing to do with micah. "King we have to talk" he said.
"Okay..." I said nervously.
"When I tell you this please don't be angry. Remember micah is here too so try to keep your emotions In check" he said.
I nod my head slowly. Uncle robert takes a deep breath and pulls a white envelope out of his bag.
"Here this is for you" he said handing me the envelope. I take it slowly and look down at it. On the front is my name written in script.
"Who is this from. It doesn't have a address or anything" I ask my uncle.
"Its from your mother.... King she's been released from prison"
