Untold Truths

Chapter Four

Weeks had passed and Cari knew for a fact she was pregnant after she took the test. Only thing was, she hadn't told her mother yet.

She looked at her phone and her bestfriend, Monica, had texted her.

"Hey bitch, can I come over? We need to catch up", the message read.

"Yes! You been gone long enough! We have a lot to catch up on", Cari responded.

She put the phone down and ran to the bathroom because she felt herself throwing up. Eric came and grabbed her hair and patted her back.

"I can't go eight more months doing this", Cari said getting up and wiping her mouth.

"You can and you will because I'm here every step of the way", Eric said. He meant that.

Another week went by and Vanessa started noticing Cari throwing up and sleeping more than usual, even though she wasn't home 24/7 she noticed it.

"Carmani Elise Roberts, I know in sams hell you are not pregnant!" Vanessa said in a high pitched voice.

"I'm 19 so if I was...", Cari said rolling her eyes.

Vanessa snatched her up quick. "Bitch this my house, I don't give a fuck if you was 21, you live in my house and in my house there will be no babies".

"Chill Nessa, let the child go", Eric said watching Vanessa's every move.

"Eric this is my child, if I want to snatch her the fuck up, I will. You act like this your damn child", Vanessa said letting Cari go and putting all her focus on Eric.

"I'm just saying, she grown as hell, stop grabbing her like she is a baby", Eric stated sticking up for Cari.

"I'm your bitch! Not Cari! Don't worry about how I'm treating Cari and worry about your own kids", Vanessa said straight out of anger.

There it was, straight on the table. Cari knew nothing about Eric having a kid. Hell, Cari knew nothing about Eric's last relationship before he came and moved in with her and her mother.

"Vanessa don't start", Eric said looking at Cari through the corner of his eye.

"Wait what?" Cari said confused.

"What you so confused about?" Vanessa asked looking back at Cari.

"Since when Eric had kids?" Cari asked with a shocked look on her face.

Everything was always too good to be true.

"I have one son, he's 15, I don't see him much", Eric admitted.

Cari just looked at him and then stopped. She didn't want her mother to suspect something. The bell rung and Cari raced over to answer it. It was Monica, just in time.

"Come up", Cari said into the microphone and then buzzed Monica in.

She swung the door open and her and Monica hugged. It's been months that they hadn't seen eachother since Monica went away for college. She was smart, she graduated highschool with a 3.6 GPA. Cari and Monica used to hang out everyday, they practically lived together in Caris house.

"I missed you so much Mon", Cari said looking Monica up and down.

Monica was carmel. She stood about 5'5, clear skin, her body was slick, not like Cari's but it was nice. She had sandy hair natually but you could never tell because she dyed it so much.

"Hey ma", Monica said referring to Vanessa.

"Hey Monica baby", Vanessa said hugging Monica tight.
