"Gilly....I should go"

He looked at me little disappointed.

"Do you really have to go now? Can't you just stay for a little longer?"

I smiled slightly.

"I would love to but I think I need time to be by myself.You know....so I can soak everything in?"

He grabbed my hand and held it to his chest.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I gotta go home and put on dinner anyways. Ellen's out for the night"

I reached up and kissed his cheek, closing the truck door behind me.

"Goodnight"

"Kaziah?"

"Yeah?"

"Before you go, I want to tell your aunty my decision. After all, it was me who got her pregnant"

I stood there perplexed, leaning against the passenger side door.

"Gilbert...I don't think right now is a good time. Her kids are inside and my uncle could be home any minute now"

"I understand completely but I want to be sincere about the situation....please"

I sighed and gestured for him to follow me.

-------------------

We both stood there anxiously waiting for someone to answer the door.

"I'LL GET IT MOM!!"

Billy appeared with Ralph straddled to his hip.

"Hey Kid, could you grab your mom for us?"

He smiled weakly before replying.

"Wait here"

I turned to Gilbert with tears forming at the brim of my eyes.

"Gilbert...he knows about his mom"

"He didn't say anything to his dad....did he?

"He's afraid Gilbert, he doesn't want him to lea-"

"Can I help you?"

My aunty appeared at the door.

"Betty, for the sake of your kids, I think it's best that we talk outside"

She came out and gestured for us to sit on the porch steps.

"Look, I'm going to make it as simple as possible....I want you to keep the child"

Her expression turned from somber to angry.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how much shit I'm going to go through if I have this child? I could lose my husband!"

"Well you should of thought about that before you made Gilbert your boy-toy"

"Kaziah, this is no time for you to point fingers"

Gilbert started to become annoyed.

"Betty, I want the child and that's it. If you try or even think about an abortion, I'll take you to court"

"You can't do that"

"Actually Aunty, he can. You need consent from both the father and the mothers side in order to proceed with an abortion"

"You're going to loose your job because of this Gilbert"

He smiled at her, ignoring the venom in her tone.

"Don't worry about that. We've discussed our alternatives"

"What do you mean 'our'? I'm not going to go with you and live in some shitty house with that retarded brother of yours"

I quickly squeezed Gilberts hand before he had any chance to snap at her.

"I'm going with Gilbert. I'm leaving with him to South Dakota once the child is born. We're going to take the child with us too"

"Wow Kaziah! Do you even hear your self right now!? You sound ridiculous!"

"You're the one who sounds ridiculous. You're the one who wants to kill something before it even gets a chance to know what the meaning of 'life' is"

She stared at me surprised at my strong sense of defiance.

"We might be young and naive but we got each other and that's all we're ever going to need"
