Chapter Eight

Chris Pov
I noticed as she walked out her house. She had put trash in her trash can. Then she went back inside. I looked down at the ground and bit my bottom lip.
"Are you stalking her?" Mijo asked.
"Does I look like it?"
"Damn my nigga really stalking a girl." He sad laughing. I picked up a Ziploc bag that had like 5 deck of cards in it. I started to throw it at him but he held up his hands. "I'm playing." He said. I put the bag down sitting on the couch.
"I'm never gonna get her back am I?" I asked.
"Well, if I'm gonna be honest, you never really had her." He said laughing. I glared at him. He coughed, making sure he covered his mouth. "We'll I gotta go. But good luck to you." He said. I looked out the window again and saw Kehlani sitting on her porch, rolling up a blunt.
I decided that since that was my baby in her, i was going to say something.
I walked over to her house. Once I got close to her porch, she looked up, seeing me. I noticed her roll her eyes. But she didn't leave. I'll take that as a good sign.
"You know, you can't smoke when you're pregnant."
"Its only cigarettes." She mumbled putting the blunt to her lips. I kept staring at her. She looked up at me.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"Well, I'm pregnant with a dudes baby. Who really doesn't give a fuck. And, to be frank, I don't a give a fuck either." She said. I sighed while rubbing the back of my neck. I sat down next her while grabbing the blunt. I took a puff. Letting the smoke sit for a minute before I slowly exhaled. I looked over at Kehlani. She was looking down at the ground rubbing her neck.
"Kehlani I'm sor-"
"Look, I don't care. I just wanna get this done." She said. I looked out towards the street.
"You act like after you give birth, you'll never see me again."
"That's what I was hoping." She said. I looked back at her to see that was she was staring at me. "Chris, I just wish this could end. I wanna give the baby up for adoption." She said. I looked away and mouthed wow. I took another hit from the blunt and shook my head.
"So you were just gonna fuck shit up because you wanna give up this baby?"
"I didn't think it would matter. I mean, you seemed wrapped up into your business."
"This baby is my business. Kehlani, this baby is mine. There is no need to give it up."
"Its not like you care. You're always under Ericka and Royalty."
"OK, one, I'm not under Royalty. She is my daughter so I have to pay attention to her. And two, I'm not under Ericka either. I haven't had contact with her 3 months before she came back." Kehlani looked over at me. "And three, I didn't even know about the baby until you knew. There isn't anything I can really do for you except give you food take you to the doctors and all that other shit."
"Chris there is more that you can do."
"THEN TEACH ME. I dont know what I am doing." I said. She looked away.
"I don't know either." She admitted. I took her hand into mine and smiled.
"So let's learn together." I said. She looked over at me with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I do know that we need to go to a birthing class."
"I can do that." I said smiling. She leaned over to me and put her head on my shoulder.
"Chris, I'm scared." She started to trace my tattoo on my hand with her finger.
"Its no need to be scared."
"Easy for you to say. You don't have to push out one of your big headed children out the vagina." She said. She laughed and I looked over at her and a smiled and laughed with her.

2 month later
I ran into the lobby, signing my name in on the sign in sheet, then I ran into the room. I saw Kehlani sitting down on the floor on her phone. I sat down behind her and rubbed her shoulders. She looked back at me frowning.
"You're late. Like always."
"I have Royalty." I said. She looked forward and I know she rolled her eyes.
"Look, I know I know. I wasn't supposed to have her. But I have to go on tour and I wanted to spend more time with her before I go on tour."
"Are you going to do this when I have this baby?"
"Yes... What type of question is that?" I asked.
"I just want you to treat the kids fairly." She said. Now I'm the one that rolled my eyes. These women are going to be the death of me.

After the birthing class, we walked to the nearest Wendy's. I ordered our food and sat down.
Kehlani was on the phone. I sat our food down and ate one of my chicken nuggets.
Kehlani looked up at me and sighed. "What's on your mind?" I asked.
"I just, really scared. I mean. I know I said I could handle it. But, I can't." She let a tear slide down her cheek. "and I have to do it basically on my own." she said. I frowned.
"What are you talking about? I'm right here." I said.
"I mean. I always wanted to be married when I had my first child." She said. I looked at her.
"What? You're only 21. You shouldn't be thinking bout shit like that." I mumbled before drinking some of soda. She looks me at me.
"I hope this baby is worth it." She said unwrapping her burger.
"Fuck you mean?" She smiled as she took a bite into her burger.
"Look, you showed your true colors already." She said in-between bites of her sandwich. "I don't wanna be in the middle of all the shit you do. Fucking hoes and shit. Nah, I ain't for it." She said. I laughed and nodded.
"Look, how about I prove to you that I can be a person that you can love and trust."
"What?" She asked.
"If I don't have you loving me by the time this baby is born, I'll leave you alone forever. Well, besides coming to get the baby. Deal?" I asked holding out my hand. She spit in her hand and tried to grab mine.
"Oh fuck no baby." I said putting my hand in my lap. "i ain't with that type of shit."
