Issa POV

My phone vibrated and Zonnique's name flashed on the screen. I smiled and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, Issa. Um, are you busy now?"
"No, wassup?"
"Do you think you can get away for a little bit? I need to talk to you."
"Sure. Where should we meet?"
"The courtyard at the park is fine."
"Ok, see you soon."
We both hung up and I smiled. I think I'm gonna officially ask her to be my girl today. I put my shoes on and walked outside to my car to make my way over to the park.

Zonnique POV

"Hey, Niq." I looked up and saw Issa walking over. "Hey. Come sit." He popped a squat next to me with a smile. "So what's going on?"
"I'm just gonna cut right to it. Are you and Mimi having a baby?"
     "...yes."
     "How far along is she?"
     "About 5 weeks. It was before you, I promise."
     "Issa, I'm sure it was before me, but I don't know if I can be with a guy who's expecting a kid. I've played that field before, and it's not fun. I'm not sure if I can go down that road again. Too risky."
"But, Zonnique, we can make it work."
"That's what they all say. Bye, Issa."

And with that, I left him sitting there.
