L.I.F.E.

Chapter 6

*Next Day*

"Ma, I was with Avianne." Goofy said into the phone.

"And you didn't call me either. What the hell were you thinking? You're pregnant for god sakes. Check in sometimes." I heard her mama yell.

"Aight, ma." She sighed and hung up.

"What was that about, hun?" I asked Goofy, fixing everyone's plate for breakfast. She came and sat down with everyone else at the table.

"Mama trippin' cause I'ain check in with her yesterday." She said taking her plate from me. I shrugged. I sat everyone's plate in front of them, then sat down myself.

"Why didn't you check in?" Ciara asked eating some of her food.

"Uh oh." I said taking a bite of my eggs. Goofy was in mid bite when she stopped and looked at Ciara. One thing I've learned from this girl being pregnant... Never EVER question her. Period.

"Cause I'ain want to. Dang, you not my dad. Ugly ass." She mumbled the last part but me and Ciara could hear her. I almost choked on my food. Sherod rubbed my back and laughed.

"Wait one dog'on minute, now." Ciara said. It was so funny how they were trying not to cuss in front of Bri. "I'm not the one you mad at now so you can cut that out." Ciara stood up.

"Or?" Goofy stood up.

"Or-,"

"She pregnant, dog, let it go." Sherod told Ciara, still eating and watching Bri. Ciara sat down but Goofy ran to the nearest bathroom and started throwing up.

I ran to her aid and helped her out. She had thrown up for about five more minutes before she was actually done. She brushed her teeth and joined us back at the table.

Sherod had taken Bri upstairs to get her things together. Goofy looked down and played with her nails.

"I'm sorry, Ciara." Goofy said really low.

"What?" Ciara asked.

"I said I'm sorry." She says louder and starts tearing up. Not this girl with this again. Pregnant people, I swear.

As they make up, I go and check on Sherod and Bri. I heard them talking so I stood outside the door where they couldn't see me.

"Yana, be honest. Do you like her?" I heard him ask her.

"Yes."

"I mean, really really like her?" He asked her.

"Yes, yes."

"You think she likes me like I like her?"

"How do you like her?" Bri asks.

"With all my heart." He says.

"Well, then. Oh yeah, definitely."

"You think?" He asks.

"Yeah. As long as you like me more." She says making him laugh. I smile.

"Are you kidding? I love you more than anything in the world."

They were so cute. It was just adorable. I tip-toed downstairs to Ciara and Goofy giggling and laughing.

"Goofy, control your emotions, dang. You trippin." I said.

"Well, excuse me for being pregnant." She got up and took her plate in the kitchen. Sherod came down the stairs with Bri's things and Bri following closely behind.

"Baby, we gone." He said in my ear then kissed me.

"Ok. Be safe." I said as I turned around.

"See you later, bae." Bri said hugging my hips.
