I paced back and forth with a pregnancy test in my hand. This was the 5th one I had taken. There was no way I could be pregnant right now. I guess since we where in the heat of the moment, he didn't pull out.

All of the pregnancy tests that I had taken were positive. We have enough on our plate. A baby was just going to make things even crazier. I didn't know how to tell August.

I picked up my phone and called my sister's number. She answered on the third ring. "Jazzy, I have some news."

"It sounds like it's going to be bad."

"I'm pregnant."

"Yay! I'm going to have another niece or nephew!" 

"No, Jazzy. I'm not pregnant for Jose."

"Bitch you been cheating," she said, laughing afterwards.

"No. Jose and I are separated."

"Well damn. Didn't tell me anything. Well, who's the baby's daddy?"

"August."

I heard a scream on the phone.

"Fine August from a few years back? Girl yassss, you living the dream. Lemme stop playing. Does he know?"

"I'm not living the dream! August is about to get married in 2 months! No, he doesn't know."

"Okay, damn. You don't have to yell."

"I don't know what to do. Jose and I aren't even divorced yet. If he finds out about this he'll kill me."

"What?"

"Nothing," I said, realizing the statement I had made.

"You better go tell August."

"I'm about to. Love you, bye."

I tossed the pregnancy test and splashed some water in my face. I didn't know what August's reaction would be but I was going to hope for the best. He would be home any minute from work.

"Mommy!" Amira said, running into the bathroom and holding onto my legs.

"Hey baby," I said, picking her up and placing her on my hip.

"Uncle August is here. He brought pizza."

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute. Be careful going down those stairs Mir Mir," I said, placing her down.

She ran out of the room which put a smile on my face. I loved my kids.

I heard Asia and August arguing downstairs. They've been going at it like that for the past two weeks. August has been avoiding her as much as he could. We did have sex one more time after that time in the car. Asia almost found out when she found my thong mixed in with their sheets.

She started throwing dishes like she had lost her mind. I had to pretend like it wasn't mine.

August appeared at my door with a smile on his face. "You ready?" he asked.

"Where are we going?"

"Look fa a house. Hurry up befo' Asia come up here runnin' her mouth."

"Why were y'all arguing anyway?"

"I have a hickey on my chest," he chuckled.

"August, that's not funny. You're gonna get us caught."
