CJ's P.O.V

The door swung open, revealing a bright smiling Stephanie.

"Hey honey, how are you doing?" She smiled and brought me into the hug. I let out a breath and hugged her back, loving the warmth that she was giving off.

We pulled away from the hug and then stepped inside.

It's been about a whole crazy and slow week since I left Dre. He called millions of times, left voicemails, and text messages - but he was ignored. He didn't bother to call Jaden or Andrew - I'm sure he knew that they would kick his ass if they ever found out; he probably doesn't even know that I'm with them, nor does he know that I'm meeting his mother today.
I have this urge to tell her, she needs to know too.

"Where's Dre? I haven't heard from him in weeks, but I was just thinking that he was busy and that you two were taking care of Jr," she closed the door behind me and we walked to the kitchen.

"It's just me. I just came here to tell you something," I said swiftly, sitting down in the couch. "I don't think it's a good idea to stay here for long."

Stephanie rose a brow at me, "Is something going on between you and Dre?"

"Well, yeah but-"

"Oh god," she cut me off. "You're glowing!"

I rose a brow, "What?"

"You're glowing," she smiled. "Don't tell me you're-"

She stopped talking and then covered her mouth, only for me to let out a silent sigh.

I chuckled and then scratched my head, "Yeah I'm pregnant."

"Oh that's amazing honey! I mean, yes you are nineteen but if you are planning on keeping this child's, I will-"

When she noticed that I wasn't as happy as her, she stopped.

"But something is not right," she stated. "Is it Dre?"

"Yeah, kind off."

"How bad?" She asked slowly, "One to ten."

"Like a ten, but I-"

"Don't sugar coat it. Just please tell me."

I let out a breath, how the hell could she know without me saying anything?

"He's cheating on me," I spoke, the tears welling in my eyes. "And like a fucking idiot, I'm also carrying his child."

"He really - and you," she paused.

I nodded, "Yes."

"Oh CJ," she sighed, shaking her head. "You don't deserve this. And you're not an idiot. Honey-"

The tears began to fall, "I didn't even know, I didn't even think. How could he do this to me?"

"I don't know honey," she sighed. "How far along are you? Does Dre know?"

I let out a breath and looked up at Stephanie, "I left - I had to. I told him that if he left, I did too and so I took Jr and left. I couldn't stay there and have him deny that the was cheating on me even though the signs were all there. I didn't get to tell him about the baby - I couldn't - I don't think he deserved to know."
