L.I.F.E.

Chapter 8

Goofy's POV

I was so mad at King but I refused to stress myself and my baby out over that nigga. Ain't no way. So just because I'm pregnant, he thinks it's ok to run around on me? Hell nah. That's not how we rockin at all. I guess I'm not finna beat nobody ass but damn. I'm bein tried up way more being pregnant than I did when I wasn't. King think this shit a game.. But I'm not playin.

In the middle of the night, I heard a car door and then the front door. I heard a few doors open and close and then I heard King's mama.

"King!" she yelled.

"Aye, ma. Goofy sleep." He said.

"Oh. I'm sorry." I heard her say. I walked and stood by the door and put my ear to it. "Where she?" she asked.

"She uhh.. in the guest room." He said real low.

"Why?" She snapped.

"I kinda messed around."

"And you think that shit ok? King, she's pregnant for god's sake. How in the hell?" She started yelling. He tried to make her lower her voice. "Hell nah, King. You go out and do stupid shit. Just cause she pregnant don't mean she won't beat yo ass. I should beat yo ass. Raisin that girl blood pressure and shit up. My grand baby don't need this. If anything is wrong at that next appointment, I'm beating your ass forreal."

She was going off on him and I'm pretty sure she hit him a few times. After about 30 minutes of her cursing him out, things died down in the hallway. I didn't come out the room. I just laid back down.

Avianne's POV

I went back to my house and Ciara was pulling out of the driveway when I got out.

"You leaving?"

"Yeah. Make sure you lock up, aight?"

"Aight."

I walked in and the food was still on the table and dishes in the sink. I sighed and went upstairs. I put my stuff down and looked at the time. It was pretty late. I took a shower and put on something comfortable. As I was walking downstairs, the doorbell rang. I opened it to Sherod and Brianna.

"Hey, baby!" I said to Brianna and picked her up.

"Hey, baby." She copied me. Sherod laughed and locked the door. I put her down and Sherod kissed me.

I walked into the dining room as Sherod turned the TV on for Brianna in the living room. He walked up and hugged me from behind.

"Was he there?" I asked. He sighed and sat down in the chair in front of me.

"Fortunately not. She was trippin a lil bit when I got Brianna though. Ain't really care cause I wasn't leaving her and I wasn't stayin there." He talked as I put the food up.

"It's gone all work out in the end, baby." I assured him. He nodded and I kissed his forehead. "You mind helping with the dishes?" He laughed.

"Anything for my lady."

"Ok. Come on. What's so funny?"

"Nothing. Go." He pushed me by my butt into the kitchen.

***

Brianna had fallen asleep in the middle of my bed and me and Sherod sat on the edge and started talkin about his mom and dad again.

"You remember when you asked me what I was gone do about Brianna when I go to college?" He asked and I nodded. "That is my biggest fear in this world. I just don't wanna regret nothin."
