Every Thug Needs A Lady

Chapter 12

That night I couldn't sleep . Do I want a baby ? Yes , so badly . I've wanted to be a mom for so long . But is now the time ?

I looked at the clock 4:38 AM . I want to tell Marcus but I don't want him mad at me because I woke him up .

Me: Marcus .. Baby

Marcus: what's wrong ?

Me: nothing .. Can I uhmm talk to you about somethin ?

He opened his eyes and sat up a little .

Marcus: Ofcourse , what's on your mind ?

Me: what happened earlier .. And yes , I really do .

Marcus : you really do what ?

Me: want to have a baby . With you . Soon .

Marcus : really ? Are you sure ? You know this is huge for us . Do you want to bring a baby into my lifestyle ?

Me: yes Marcus , I know you'll keep our child safe . Just like you do me .

Marcus : you're right baby , but can we talk more tomorrow ?

I nodded and cuddled close to him .

................................................................

The next morning I woke up to Marcus yelling downstairs . I slipped on some shorts and went to peek at what was going on . Marcus was on the phone with someone & whoever it was had him pissed off . I decided to sit on the stairs & observe until he got off the phone .

Marcus: WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME NOW? ... I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU

His voice got a little lower .

Marcus: I have a girl now & I love her .

I smiled , I love hearing him say that . But wait .. He has to be talking to a girl . And he doesn't know I'm listening , yet . I felt myself get a little upset . Marcus turned around and saw me .

Marcus: I gotta go , we'll figure this out later .

He threw his phone on the counter & let out a loud sigh .

Marcus: it's not what it seems Taylor

Me: is something wrong ?

Marcus: yeah .. No .. I don't know ... Yet

Me: who was that & why do they have you so stressed out ?

Marcus: my ex girlfriend , Candace .

Thoughts suddenly raced through my head . Is he cheating on me ? Does he want her back ? Am I good enough for him ?

Me: did she call you?

It was obvious of my insecurities by the way my voice shook .

Marcus: yeah .. She says that her 4 year old son , Damien , is mine .

Tears trailed down my face .

Marcus: I don't know if it's true or not , I'm going to the hospital one day this week to get a test done . They'll send the results back home & we'll find out then

There was a very long , emotion filled silence for about 2 minutes . I fought back my tears .

Me: I wanted to have your first born , I wanted to be the mother of all your kids . I thought WE were gonna start a family soon .

Tears blurred my vision & raced down my cheek . Marcus wiped them away .

Marcus: I know baby & that's what I want too , let's just see what happens with all this & we'll go from there .

He pulled me into a hug . I'm not sure if I want him touching me right now . I pulled away .

Me: I'm going to take a shower .

He kissed my forehead & I went to the bathroom . While I was in the shower , I couldn't get it out of my head . What would happen to us ? Would he leave me ? Would he want to move back ? I don't want him to have a baby momma always around . But he didn't do anything wrong .. Did he ? Damien is 4 , he was conceived before we got together . And it's not Damien's fault , I couldn't treat him some type of way because of it all . But why does this have to happen now ? Would Marcus still want a baby with me ?

Marcus : babe you okay ? You've been in there an hour .

Me: yeah I'm fine .

I turned the water off & dried off with my towel . Walking into our bedroom , I avoided eye contact with Marcus .

Marcus: bae , this won't change anything with us , if he is mine I'll take care of him and if not , we can forget this ever happened .

I wanted to believe him but I felt a different way inside . My phone started ringing .

Andre 💕

Me:hello?

Andre: hey sis , can you fix dinner tonight ? For yall , me , Olivia , & Trey ?

Me: who's Olivia ?

Andre : my girlfriend , I want you to meet her .

Me: I guess , be here at 7

I hung up .

Me: the boys are comin over for dinner , Andre is bringin his new girl .

Marcus : okay , I gotta go on a run , love you babe .

I didn't say anything , I still don't know how to feel . I try to put my emotions to the side for this dinner Andre wants .
