A Detroit Love Thang 3

1983

Chico walked in seeing Lola coming out of the bathroom.

"What, it's that time of the month?" he asked, laughing a little.

"No, I was just feeling a little nauseous, that's all. I need to lay down and get some rest." Lola walked to the bed. Chico looked at Lola seeing she was gaining a little weight, on top of being tired and sick. He knew something was up. He walked over to Lola's side of the bed.

"Are you pregnant?" he asked. "I've noticed you haven't had a period in two months. Actually, you didn't start feeling sick until after that mark as nigga Psycho got locked up. Now, when I fuck you I always use a condom. Only once did I fuck you without one and I pulled out then, so tell me now. Are you pregnant by this fool Psycho?"

"Chico baby, listen to me." She stood up from the bed. "It could've happened the night we set him up, that was the last time we had sex. I didn't think I would get pregnant. You told me to do whatever to get him knocked out. Baby tell me you can accept me and this baby. It's not like he'll know. It can be your and my secret. Baby?" Chico looked at Lola and raised his hand, slapping her in the face. She fell to the ground in shock, holding her face.

"Hell naw. I'm not pretending to be shit to this baby." Chico walked over to Lola, picking her up over his shoulders. He walked to the door putting her down.

"But you can get the fuck out." Chico pushed her out the door. She almost tripped but caught herself. Chico slammed the door. Lola was embarrassed as nosey neighbors and people inside the house watched.

"Chico please!" she said, banging on the door. "Please let me in!" She continued banging on the door. She looks around seeing things dropping from the sky. She looked up seeing Chico dropping her things from the top of the balcony.

"Please, don't do this baby!" she yelled out. But Chico wasn't listening. Lola gave up hope while picking up some of her things with tears in her eyes. She began walking up the street seeing all eyes on her. This was not her, crying for a nigga.

"The fuck wrong with me?" she said to herself. Lola wiped her tears, walking straight up until she made it to Seven Miles. She walked to one of her sister's house who lived close by, telling her what happened. She let her stay there until she was able to get back on her feet.

Lozella closed up the letter, with tears in her eyes. This whole time she never knew who her father could've been and she thought her real father abandoned her mother as soon as he found out she was pregnant. But that was far from the truth. She now knew that Niles and Loko killed the father she never had the chance to get to know and she wasn't happy about that at all. Her mother already told her some of the truth before she died but the letter finally sealed the deal.
