Iza

I had just finished my shower and eaten all I could for breakfast as Odell walked in the kitchen.

"G'mornin' beautiful ." He says kissing my forehead grabbing a piece of my uneaten toast. "Goodmorning baby." I reply softly.

"You aight ?" He asked sitting beside me. I shrug my shoulders. "Iza I know when something is wrong with you." He says searching for something in my eyes. "I'm fine I just feel... I don't know." I say looking down.

He lifts my chin up. "Whatever you feelin I'm feelin you feel me ?" He says laughing a little. I make a face at him.

He holds his hands up in surrender. "Okay okay just tryna lighten the mood" he mumbles.

I sigh, "I know .. I'm sorry" I say putting my head in my hands. He lifts my chin up and grabs my hands. He looks me in the eyes.

"Iza you know you can tell me anything. Wassup mama?" He ask with pleading eyes.

I want to tell him but I can't tell him something I don't know for sure. I'm scared. How will he react ? How will he feel ? All these questions are just jumbled in my mind. I just can't..

I put my head down on the cold table and look up at him. He motions for me to tell him. "Ithinkimightbepregnant" I said quickly. I hope he didn't hear a word I said but I felt like some weight was lifted off my shoulders.

"Iza." He said in all seriousness. I sighed, "Okay don't get mad... even though there's no reason to get mad because you didn't .. you know what never mind yo ass better not get mad cause ohh I swear-"

"Iza Tabria Majors! Listen there's nothing to be nervous about mama! Whatever it is I gotchu'." He says squeezing my hands.

I took a deep breath, "Okay... I-I think I might be pregnant.. but listen I don't know for sure so don't get ahead of yourself. Also if you don't want this baby if there is one .. go fuck yourself.. because I will have this baby."

He starts laughing and I look at him like he's crazy. I smack him on his head. "Odell I'm serious." I say frustrated. He smiles, "how bout I go get you a pregnancy test and find out ?"

He gets up and grabs his keys. As he's walking out the door he kisses my forehead. "I'll be back."

I nod nervously and he gives me an assuring look. I began to nervously chew on my lip.

Hopefully he'll come back...

- 30 minutes later -

I pace back and fourth wondering when Odell will come back home. Maybe he went to take a breather.. that was a lot I just put on him. Or maybe he's not coming back.. maybe he doesn't want anything to do with me.

I sit down on the couch with my hands in my head. Suddenly the door opens and in comes Odell.

I look up at him with tear rimmed eyes. He cocks his head to the side like a confused puppy. "What's wrong?" He says sitting the bags on the floor and sitting beside me.

"Nothing." I say wiping my eyes. He looks at me but let's it go. He digs around in the bag and pulls out two pregnancy tests. "Cmon let's go take em'." He says leading me to the bathroom.
