Chapter Four

SAMMY

I didn't know what to say as I looked down at the ultrasound picture. It was a baby...MY baby.

"He's Beautiful...It is a he, Right?"I asked Jai as she sat next to me. She chuckled at my statement.

"We won't know for a couple months, But my doctor seems to think that it's a boy. You don't even know what he looks like..."-

"So? It's me and you, 'at baby's gon' be a lil' playa"-

"IF it's a boy...What if it's a girl?"-

"Then she'll be a lil' shawty like'er Mama"I smirked at her. I laid my hand on her stomach. I placed the ultrasound picture on her belly, Where the baby would actually be.

"So, Are you like...Happy?"Jailyn asked as she watched me. I nodded, Sitting up from the couch.

"I mean, I'm gettin'ere. I'on think it'll be REAL t'me 'til..."I trailed off. She nodded in agreement. "Wha'bout you?"I asked, Taking a sip of my drink.

"I know i'm pregnant, There's a baby inside me, But...When he's here..."She spoke. She's so...cute. Being together as a couple, Talkin', Sexin' whatever you wanna call it, Is one thing, But havin' a baby, Like that's a whole 'nother level. It ain't really hit us yet. But it's definitely had an effect on us.

I looked down at my phone as it vibrated, I exited, Having to take the call.

JAILYN

(A couple days later)

It's been a couple days since Sammy and I have talked about the baby. He's busy working on his growing rap career. I'm still currently at Lisa's house. Sammy calls as often as he can, But he's busy, I understand that. The one thing I don't really understand, Is that he doesn't want to announce the fact that I'm pregnant. I mean, I get it. Like 90% of his fan base is females. I guess I shouldn't be jealous either-Being that we're not even together. It might be my hormones...

I talk to Lisa about everything. She's like the sister I never had. She IS my sister.

"I just don't know if we can do it, We're both so young"I spoke as we sat next to each other in the living room.

"You're not givin' it up. You wanted t'lay down, You gotta take care'a your responsibilities. I did it, I was younger than you, So it IS possible. It's not easy, But you don't think about that when you lay down. Now you got to... It's not ALL yours... Sammy has his own responsibilities, But if he's not gonna step up, I'll be there. 'Cause I know how it is... I been through it. The only difference is that I WAS alone. You're not, So giving up would be SO stupid. I'm not gonna let you do that."She established. Lisa's opinion has always meant a lot to me because she's been there for me. So I know when she's talking to me, I need to take it serious because she knows what she's talking about.

SAMMY

I pulled up in Lisa's driveway. Jailyn been staying there. I do kind of want her to come back with me, But...My mama don't play that. Plus, Me and Tray working on stuff...I knocked on the door, Nobody answered, So I went in. I was walking toward Jai's bedroom when something flashed before me. A dog, No, That wasn't no dog, That was a beast. And it came right for me!

My skinny self dipped, Hoping i'd escape the death chasing me. I hopped up on the table, He came at me snorting and snarling and barking...He wanted to tear me up!

"Lisa!"I hollered, Wanting her to come get the beast. I know she don't like me...She probably sicced him on me. I became desperate. "Jailyn!"I yelled. I didn't think about it until I had already yelled. He could eat her and my baby...They be aight...Just as I began to yell again, Lisa appeared.

"WHAT do you WANT?"She asked, Sounding annoyed. "WHY ARE YOU ON MY TABLE?!?!"She asked as she approached us. The killer backed up as if the sound of her voice calmed him.

"Get yo' beast!"I spoke, Pointing to the dog.

"Biscuit? He's not a beast! He's a big baby!"She cooed at the animal. She scooped his big body up like it was nothing.

"He look like he ate the dough boy"I said, Amazed that at how it looked like I was exaggerating.

"He only attacks idiots"She smirked as she carried him. I hesitantly got down from the table.

"Jai here?"I questioned, Peering into her bedroom.

"No, But don't go nowhere, I gotta talk t'you"She spoke, Letting the dog out. I rolled my eyes. What does she want?

"C'mere"She motioned for her to follow me. I did, At a distance. Lisa's crazy y'all. She sat down on the couch. I looked at her curiously. "Sit down"She commanded. I was hesitant, But I sat down in the chair diagonal from her. She was silent...Taking too long.

"So...Wassup?"I finally asked, Breaking the silence.

"Look, I know you know I don't like you ( I nod, Signifying that I know ) But i'm Jai's sister and you knocked her up, So we're both permanently associated with her. That being said, I gotta set some rules...You're allowed here...But only if you have a reason. If you ain't got no business here, Biscuit ain't got no excuse to let you leave. ( That made me uncomfortable ) You're the Father of my neice or nephew, And apparently you wanna be there for'em, I'm not gon' get in the way...Unless absolutely necessary. As far as Jai, She loves you, And against my best advise wants you to be there as well. I'm gonna support her. But if you hurt her...I could make your death look like an accident"-Woah, woah,
woah, Did she just threaten me. I'm bout done with this talk. She seen my annoyance. "What i'm tryna say is...Jai wants us to get along. And if I didn't think it meant alot to'er I would'a told'er no, But I know it'd make her happy so..."-

"So...We coo?"-

"No...I think you're a lazy, low-down, dirty, good for nothin', piece of"-

"I ain't say if you liked me...I said are we coo-No purposely picking an argument. Let me be type" I spoke. She looked like she was in pain.

"I guess...But if you hurt her..."-

"I know you'll kill me"-

"No"-

"Really?"-

"I'll murder you and make it look like an accident"She clarified. I licked my lips.

"Got it?"-

"Got it"I spoke, Eager to get away from her crazy self.
