Hold Me Down

Chapter12

4 MONTHS LATER
Mercedes POV
"To be honest ma, I don't really know." I seasoned the chicken.

"Well, you ought to rest. I'll do the cooking from here." He gave me a smile.

Me and my mom were talking about how I wasn't really feeling well.

And no, I wasn't lying to her so I can get out of the barbecue. I really was feeling a little sick.

I finished seasoning the chicken and went to wash my hands. I walked up to my old bedroom and laid on my old bed.

I closed my eyes for a while then my bedroom door opened.

"Mercedes!" Honey came in the room.

"Your mom told me about you not feeling well." She came and gave me a hug.

"Yeah, I've been vomiting and feeling hot and all that." I sighed.

"Ah!" She squealed.

"What?" I furrowed me brows.

"Okay, I was prepared just in case this day would come!" She looked through her bag.

"Prepared for what?" I got a little nervous.

"This!" She showed a pregnancy test.

"Oh hell nah!" My eyes widened.

"Yes Cey! Just try, you and Romeo have been-".

"No Honey! Just no! I'm not ready for a child! In fact, I don't want children!" I got out of bed.

"Just take the damn pregnancy test!" She shouted.

I rolled my eyes and took it from her.

Hopefully, this shit is negative.

Romeo POV
I can see Mercedes avoiding me today, I don't know why. We on good terms and shit.

"Ay, Honey says there's something up with Cey." Major said.

"Lemme talk to her." I got up.

I walked towards her and she put her head down.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

She brought me into the kitchen where nobody was.

"Okay, don't get angry, okay?" She started off.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm pregnant." She bit down on her lip.

"Shit.." I sighed.

I looked down and shook my head.

"I don't want it." She added.

I looked up at her and she had tears in her eyes.

"I-I don't want this baby..I just don't want kids." She sniffed.

"I ain't ready either. But your still have my kids." I joked.

She laughed.

"I'm glad you understand." She gave me a kiss.

"So, what do we do?" He asked.

"I don't know. I guess I'll have to abort it." She shrugged.

"I guess." I sighed.

I'd love to have a child.

I'm not ready though, I've got business to do and all that shit. Mercedes has work and if he has that baby, she's gonna have to stop work. And most of all, I won't spend enough time with my family.
