The Bad Boy's Baby

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

The moment I stepped out of the doctors office I felt relieved. My son was growing, he was two pounds 1/4 so far, about the size of a large eggplant. His brain was developing more, and with his vision is developing so he can now see the light from the womb. He's also grown eye lashes, which I think is adorable.

I still haven't talked to Kaleb, and I didn't plan on talking to him. I was late to school, so I decided to do my work in the library and I spotted Kaleb and Daniel talking behind a book shelf. Of course I had to eaves drop, and find out what they are talking about because the last time they was together they was basically killing each other.

"Man, my uncle doesn't do third chances...." Daniel said.

"I know that, but maybe an extended deadline? I know I punched you in the face, but if you truly care about Maci, you would care about her safety and at least talk to him..."

"Maci has nothing to do-"

"Yes she does, and you know it." Kaleb said in a low voice. "You know when he finds out about this, he will come after her, and my son."

Our son? Why would our son be involved in whatever he was talking about? ....

Oh my God. I gasped. Mr.Corino! The pimp...

It all started coming back to me and the day I followed Kaleb to that ally where guys were beating him up..Then there was a pimp....I remember Kaleb owing him money and he said id be wearing a different shade of red if he didn't get his money but Kaleb told me he paid him off. Maybe he went back? but why would he do that?

"Man you know my situation..." Kaleb pleaded and Daniel laughed.

"Yeah, but you think I have any Control over this? You have to deal with your consequences."

"But what about Maci? What about our son? " Kaleb asked.

"Bro, I don't know what to tell you, I can't help you. Maci is a good girl and everything, but she's not worth loosing my life over."

And with that Daniel walked away from Kaleb and I saw Kaleb places his head in his hands and sit down. I decided to go comfort him, even though he lied to me I hated seeing him upset.

"Kaleb.." I whispered and placed my hand on his shoulder making him jump. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I gave him a small smile and he sighed.

"I thought you was avoiding me?" He nudged my side.

"I was, until I over heard your conversation." I admitted and his eyes widened.

"Look I know what it seems like that I lie-"

"Lied to me. It doesn't seem that way, it is that you. You LIED to me."

"I know, and I'm sorry but you just don't understand.." He said and looked away from me.

"I'm tired of you shutting me out. I know you didn't pay Mr.Corino."

"I didn't lie about that, I did pay him." He said as I took the seat next to him.

"So why is he after you then?" I asked him.

"I sort of, went back." He admitted.

"I knew it." I let out a long breath after.

"I went back, and he said we was starting fresh. That I could sell from him...but I got robbed. All the products were stolen, and now he's really pissed." He said in a low voice so no one could hear.
