Chapter Thirty One: part two

"Jesus Nisha! Why would you do that? What the hell do you need money for?" I sighed sitting down at the dining table.

She paced the floor for a minute before coming closer to me and I gripped the bat more. Don't try no shit girl. I'll still beat you to a pulp.

"Well first, I need to tell you something but I don't want you to be upset. But more importantly I want you not tell Odell ANYTHING. Like never ever tell him the real reason why I need this money" she bit her finger nail.

My heart started beating fast and I really wasn't prepared at all for what she said next.

"...so long story short, I got pregnant by Odell back at LSU spring semester of my freshman year. He never knew, hell I didn't know I was pregnant until I was almost four months. That's why I left LSU. I moved to Texas and never told anyone." She confessed.

Tears filled my eyes and I was speechless. Olivia wasn't Odell's first child?

"Please don't try. I've shed enough tears" She sighed patting her lap.

"What's their name?" I managed to say.

"Omar. I didn't want him to have his father's name. He asks my mom all the time about his Dad." She put her hand over her mouth. Tears slowly started to flow.

"Nisha. Why do you need money?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Omar has cancer. Doctors found it early so they can go into surgery and get it. But I cannot afford the surgery and I really don't wanna put him on Chemo if they can get the cancer out with this surgery." She
wiping the tears from her eyes.

Odell's first born has cancer. My God.

"Just tell me the amount and ill pay for it. No questions. Nisha from the bottom of my heart I'm so sorry that you're in this situation" I got up to hug her.

We hugged for a while and I soothed her, rubbing her back.

"As much as you don't want you to tell Odell. He deserves to know that he son has cancer." I sighed.

She sniffled and shook her head.

"Now I already had to tell him that you lost your baby. I refuse to tell him this. So please find it in your heart to tell him." I added.

"Jaz" She uttered.

"Nisha, we have never been on good terms, and I don't want to hang money over your head, but please tell Odell. I will set everything up, but please tell him. Then I'll sign the check. I don't care the amount" I smiled softly.

"Okay... I'll do it. Hopefully he doesn't kill me." She wiped her tears.

"Thank you for the kind words and more importantly not judging me" She smiled some.

God you have a crazy way of having situations come full circle. But this is still a blessing! Odell has a son! True the situation is tuff! But we will get through this, like we get through everything else.

... now how do I get Odell to actually sit down and hear Nisha out without him trying to strangle her?

Part two of a four part chapter...

Lol I know nobody was expecting this, and if I like the direction this is going... I won't end at 35.
