Me: *turns around* Jamal *starts to tear up*

Jamal: *runs over to me* Baby what's wrong?

Me: *grabs his hands & rub them against my belly*

Jamal: *looks at me confused* What are you trying to tell me Melanie?

Me: *puts head down & starts crying* Jamal I'm 3 months pregnant...

Jamal: *lifts head* Baby how come you haven't been told me this?!

Me: I was scared you were gonna leave me just like my father did.

Jamal: Baby I'm not going anywhere!

Me: You promise?

Jamal: I promise! I helped make this baby, so I'm gonna help take care of it! We can be a family, something I've never had before.

*starts kissing*

*hears knock on the door & in comes Naomi*

Naomi: So I'm guessing she told you?

Jamal: Yeah, when did you find out?

Naomi: Today just a little bit before you.

Me: We can have this little family reunion later.

Naomi: Enough of this talking! How are you going to tell your ma?

Me: I don't know the answer to that question just yet.

*hears the door open*

Me: Who is that? It can't be my ma, it's only four o'clock!

Ma: *shuts door* Melanie I'm home! *looks at all of us* What's going on?

Naomi: I guess we're about to find out the answer to your question right about now...
