Can't Keep A Promise

Chapter Seventeen: Mistakes

I cried earlier so much while sitting on my bed with my head on my knees. It took me a lot to stay strong but that wasn't gone last. I put my all into that person with so much love and so much passion. He gave me nothing but pain. All on his Instagram , facebook and having other little hoes laugh at us cause I'm clueless to what he doing.

But fuck all that , I got a real ass problem on my hands.

My ass is pregnant.

" Pregnant? By who Promise? Your almost nineteen and I told you don't be having sex like Junior. I can't say nothing because your eighteen. You have your own home and car. You go to school. Your grown. " My mother said as she put her hand on my thigh.

" Fuck this shit. Who got you pregnant and left you high and dry? Me and your brothers on that shit right now " My daddy said as he was cleaning his old gun off.

" Stop , no. My baby daddy doesn't know and your not going to want to kill him" I said as I snatched away the gun and placed it beside me.

" Who's the baby father?" My mother asked.

" Rich" I told them lowly and the door swung open. It was Rich and he looked at his phone.

" You called me to handle sum?" Rich said then he turned over to me. His eyes widened before my daddy started attacking him.

" Jay , stop " My mama yelled as she grabbed my dad's shirt , pulling him back. Rich was against the wall while my mother restrained my dad.

" What the hell did I do mf? " Rich yelled as Junior rushed in the room as Destiny was sitting in the play pen.

" You got her pregnant " My mother yelled as my father was in this rage type shit. He better calm his strong ass down.

" What ? Promise you pregnant ?" Junior and Rich said at the same time. I nodded and Junior turned toward Rich and swung on him. They broke out in a fight and all I could do was call for help. Kaylan rushed into the room and quickly broke up the fight.

" Calm down! Promise is grown! We have been treating her like a child her own entire life and been strict. Now that she done snuck and around and got pregnant , we can't fight about it. It's too late now and I'll be damned if she kill it. I got pregnant at twenty with Promise and she's about to be nineteen. What makes me so different when I was in school too? I still took care of them and got my shit right. Bought a big house at twenty one and made hella money. She's a smart girl and all we could do is hope for the better " My mother yelled as she stopped all the commotion in the room.

" Rich , make sure you come to my office early at five sharp " My dad said and Junior bucked one last time at Rich as my baby daddy stood fearless by his actions.

" Boy , getcho ass in that room . You ain't hard" Kaylan yelled as she pushed him out the room.

" Promise , let me talk to you " Rich said as he grabbed my hand and I got up. I walked out the room and we both went outside.

" You pregnant for real ma ? Like carrying my seed ?" He asked putting his hand on his head and scratching it.

" Duh , they wouldn't have fought you if I wasn't. We had sex day in and day out. What did you suspect ?"

" Can we work this out for the sake of our child Promise ?" He asked while standing infront of me , only a inch away from me.

" No we can't. What you can do is be there for these nine months , support me, and help me. That's all I'm asking for. " I said sticking my hands in my pocket.

" See you later Rich " I told him as I walked off.

One Month Later

" Happy Birthday big sister " Jasmine said as she walked into my apartment and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled as she handed me two full bags filled with clothes and shoes.

" Girl , thank you. Where you get the money for all this stuff ?" I asked and she smirked.

" That's for me to know. Open it girl " Jasmine asked as she urged for me to open the gifts. I sat on my new sofa and opened the bag. There were jewelry and clothes. She even got me the new Jordan's that just came out.

I opened the second bag and should've known it was going to be baby stuff. There were diapers , wipes , and toys. Why did she get girl clothes?

" Jas , how you know I'm having a girl? I'm only one month and some change. " I said and she laughed.

" Well we do have like three or four brothers , we are going to have more girls. Junior had a girl. You know the saying , if a twin have a kid , the other twin kid's gender is the same. " Jasmine told me making me scrunch up my face.

" Bitch , that ain't no saying . I ain't never heard that in my life " I said and she giggled.

" Bitchhh , we gonna hit the city and party all night long. We gone drank and get drunk as a motherfucker " Faith yelled as she came through the door. I smacked my teeth. Haven't saw her trifling ass in a month.

" What's up with all this baby stuff? Jasmine you having a baby ? And I already stopped by Juniors and said happy birthday to my bih "

" No stupid. Promise is pregnant" Jasmine said and Faith eyes popped open.

" Well damn, you could've called a bih. Ian know my muthafuckin homie having a baby. Aww. I'm gone be an auntie or god mom. That's dope ya heard? " Faith told me as she smirked.

" Girl , my life is changing before my eyes. Hormones. I'm hungry all the time. Rich and I ain't together but I feel so lonely when he leaves. He's over here all the time. Plus I'm throwing up , ain't I supposed to see all this stuff later on?" I asked and Jasmine laughed. The fuck is so funny?

" No , that's healthy when your pregnant. Ask Kaylan. " Jasmine said as she leaned back in the sofa.

" Well come on y'all , you ain't showing yet so let's go out and have some fun " Faith said in a happy voice as she grabbed my hand. Help me.
