My mother eyes widened, I was just so scared at this point, what if she doesn't accept it?
"Lauren, it's pretty early to be having a kid, but with who, him? He doesn't look like a man!"
Khristian face dropped, I went from scared to angry, she's doing way too much, she's making me forget who she is.
"Look mom, this is my decision and this is my boyfriend, if you don't like either I am honestly going to stop caring. You always want me to have the perfect, sweet little picket fence life, well guess what? I'm not, and if you don't wanna except, that's your problem not mine." I gasped at the stinging sensation I felt on my face. I looked at to see my mother rubbing her red hand, from the slap.
"Don't talk to me like that! I just want what's best for you baby, you should get that. I'm only hard on you because I want you to be someone great, go in the right path, but I see you've made a wrong left turn. You're pregnant at 18!" My mother yelled back, her throat cracking. I soon saw a tear shed which made me break down completely, I may not like her opinion but I still care about her feelings.
Khristian was just sitting there with his arms crossed and straight face, I didn't like the way my mother said he wasn't going to be good, when he is, well to me. "I'm sorry mom, but I realize that I've been letting you and dad run me for too long, I was out of the house by 16, that's when I started making decisions for myself, even when y'all tried to control me. I can't do it, I'm sorry ma' but, I do what I want and what I need to do, now. Time to make decisions on my own."
She stopped crying and was just staring blankly at the floor. "I understand baby, and me and your father realized that your an adult and you need to start making your own decisions. Also Lauren, you've become what you want and that's what I wanted also." She said, cheering up a little bit. I grinned, "yeah, yeah. But mom I'm still the same Lauren you birthed eighteen years ago, just learnin' to live on my own now." I said walking over to her. She stood up and we shared a hug, me and my mother fuss a lot but we always make up. "Help me in the kitchen, like old times? You too Khristian, and Khristian I wanted to apologize for saying you aren't good enough, you see like a well mannered gentlemen, which is my ideal man for my daughter." My mother apologetically spoke to Khristian. He nodded, "it's alright, Mrs. J." He said then we went in the kitchen and made dinner.
After dinner......
After we I showered and put on some pajamas.

Then Dinah face timed me. I answered it and saw the rest of the group.
"Hey best!" Dinah screamed, which followed up with Normani and Ally. I laughed, "hey guys! Wait, are y'all having a sleepover without me?" I said, as I smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Please don't complain," Ally playfully scoffed, "you left us, girl, so we just had a little sleepover. You better be home tomorrow." She finished. "You bet, don't do nothing extra fun without me." I chuckled, and we soon shared that chuckle. Now these are good friends right here!
