Looking down at my phone I see that Abel is calling me. My heart instantly starts beating fast and my stomach starts to turn. Should I pick up. I think out loud to my self. Before the phone call is over I hurry up and answer without giving it a second thought.

"Hello" I nervously say when I press the phone to my ear.

"Hey, Kay how are you?"

"I'm good Abel what about you?" The conversation keeps getting weirder and weirder.

"I'm doing fine I guess."

The phone goes dead silent on both ends and I'm waiting for him to say something else. He called me so he obviously wants to talk or maybe he's just high and thought I wouldn't answer.

"Listen Abel I'm really busy right now so if you don't have anything to say let's both hang up."

"No wait!" He basically yells at through the morning phone "Listen we have a baby together and I want to be there for you and our child. I'll go to every doctors appointment, I'll help you pick out baby clothes and I'll even bring you food late at night." He says and we both chuckle.

"What I'm trying to say is even though we aren't together I'll still do anything for you. I took part in getting you pregnant so I won't neglect you or my responsibilities." Abel says confidently.

"Thank you Abel." I say and I hear him laugh which warms my heart.

"For what Kaelynn?"

"For finally accepting and realizing your responsibilities. I let you know when my next doctors appointment is. If you really mean what you say you'll be there before me."

"I wouldn't miss it for anything else."

"Bye Abel." I say.

"Goodbye Love." He says and hangs up quickly before I can tell him not to call me that.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now that we have gotten that conversation over with I can finally be happy. As long as he knows his boundaries I see nothing wrong with us co-parenting. While I'm in the mood I decide it's finally to call my mother. I hope it isn't to late at night for her to talk.

"Hey mom, how are you?" I say with a smile when she picks up the phone.

"Hi baby I'm great! What about you?" She says with so much enthusiasm. We don't talk much but when we do it's always like we talk everyday.

"I'm wonderful mom I actually called you to tell you something." I know she'll be happy to hear the news.

"What is it honey? Did Abel propose to you?" I burst out laughing I didn't expect her to say that.

"Wow, mom no he didn't propose to me. I'm pregnant and you're going to be a grandma." As soon as I say that she yells for joy. I knew she was waiting on me or Lamar to give her a grandchild.

I laugh "Mom calm down I know you wanted a grandchild."

"Yes I'm excited how does Abel feel about this?" This is the exact question I was trying to avoid.
