Hold Me Down

Chapter17

Mercedes POV
"Thanks be to God." We all responded.

"O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!" We sang.

After finishing the hymn, we put our bibles back and our hymn books too.

Romeo and I went downstairs to a room where all the money gets counted with Raymond by my side.

"Ah, here she is!" Ms Leslie came over and gave me a hug.

"Your mama told me all about it! Congratulations my child!" She gave Romeo a kiss also.

"Thank you." We both said.

"So Imma 2 great grand babies." She smiled at Raymond who laughed.

"How've you been so far?" My mom came over to me.

"I'm okay I guess." I shrugged.

"How many weeks?".

"I'm 3 months, I went to the doctors just to double check." I smiled.

"Now, you know that me and your mama are here. If you need anything, we're just a call away." Ms Leslie smiled.

"Yes ma'am." I gave her a hug.

"Okay, we're gonna head off and get ready for dinner." Romeo spoke.

"Okay, don't forget 7:30 at your grandmas house. The whole church committee will be here." My mom smiled at the 3 of us.

"Yes mama, we'll see you and Ms Leslie later." I gave her hugs and kisses.

After saying goodbye, the pastor approached us.

"Romeo and Mercedes!" He smiled and chuckled.

"How've you been?" He asked.

"We've been good Father." Romeo shook his hand.

"That's great. Congratulations to the both of you." He smiled.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Well, you ought to be off and get ready for your grandmothers dinner. I'll see you 3 there." He smiled at Raymond.

After saying hello and hearing many 'congratulations', we headed home. I wanted to feed both Raymond and Romeo before we left.

"You not gonna eat?" He asked me as she drove us home.

"No, I'll be good once I'm eating your grandmas cooking." I smiled.

"Then I'll get us something small to eat." He drove into the McDonald's drive thru.

After ordering their foods, we headed straight home. I was feeling sick and I needed my bed.

"Raymond, here." I handed him his happy meal.

"Tank you." He said as he smiled.

"No worries baby boy." I smiled.

I walked in room and just laid in bed.

I closed my eyes for a while then heard footsteps. I felt kisses on my neck and a pair of hands going under my shirt. I opened my eyes to see Romeo on top of me, not literally though.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Hm.." I nodded my head.

"You gon' be a boy." He spoke to my stomach.

"Nope, it gon' be a girl." I stuck my tongue out.

"Whatever." He wrapped his arms around me.

"Whatever I gender it is, I don't really mind. As long as I have y'all is all that matters." He said in my ear.

I smiled at the thought of that.

Could you imagine Romeo with 4 kids? They all running around messing up the place whilst I'm arriving home from work. He's just sitting there watching the game as the kids scream, fight, shout, draw on my walls, throwing toys and food all over the place.

Then a few years later if our daughter is dating, he gon' be the first to be shouting at her the poor guy.

I love Romeo, I'm happy for him to be my baby daddy.

Winter POV
"I heard that the bitch is pregnant." Takisha rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, and apparently they got a son already. He 4." Aisha gossiped.

I shook my head and continued eating my sushi.

"Yeah, here's a picture that she put on Snapchat of them together." Wanda took her phone out.

"Let me see." I squinted my eyes.

I took Wanda's phone and saw a picture of the fake happy family.

I know Romeo still wants this body. His love for Mercedes is fake. I'm pregnant and I don't want any stress. But, when this baby is out, the bitch is gonna drop dead.

I'm not gonna retaliate, I'm gonna have her couple years of fun with Romeo. Just know, that man is gonna be mine again.

"Gimme back my phone girl!" Wanda smacked her teeth.

"You getting jealous?" Aisha laughed.

"Bitch shut the fuck up before I cut you with this chopstick shit!" I barked.

She piped down and put her head down.

"Good.." I smacked my teeth.

I continued eating sushi as everyone was quiet watching me eat.

"Why are y'all just watching me?! Go home or do some shit! Damn..!" I got up.

I walked into my room and found T asleep.

I sat on the bed and began to eat my food as he turned then opened his eyes.

"What's that?" He asked.

"Sushi." I chewed on it.

"Let me have some." He sat up.

"Go and brush yo teeth first." I slapped his hand.

He mumbled something and went into the bathroom.

Don't understand how he hasn't brushed his teeth yet and it's 4. Nasty ass.
