I heard crying and walk in the kitchen to see Melissa giving Matt his bottle. He was sitting up on the counter. He seem me and dropped the bottle reaching for me.
I walked over to him and picked him up grabbing his bottle in the process and giving it to him. I looked at Melissa and noticed a little pudge in her stomach showing from her tight dress.
"I'm so sorry Melissa"I apologized.
"What are you talking about?"She asked confused.
"Your my best friend and I forgot you were pregnant worrying about myself"
"It's fine. You've been through a lot"She smiled softly.
"I'm really sorry. How many months are you?
"I'm two months since Matt is 7 months old now"
"I haven't seen my lil munchkin in forever"I said pinching his cheeks resulting in him laughing.
"He finally said his first word"She said with disgust.
"What was it?"
"Da Da"She rolled her eyes.
"You and asahd still fighting?"I asked.
"Yes. He's really irking my nerves like he find lil ways to get in an argument. He really doesn't want me to have this baby. You know what he said to me?"
"What?"
"He said he's gonna try to stress me out so I can lose the baby. Do you know how much that hurt me?"She said as tears came down her face.
"I'm just gonna come back"Bryson said backing out the kitchen.
"Take the baby for a few minutes"I said handing Matt to him. He walked away and I hugged Melissa.
"If he doesn't love Matt. How will he love the baby? He ain't do all this when I had Matt but I guess since it's a second child he just hates it. He's the one that got me pregnant"She cried.
"He's starting to love Matt that's why Matt says da da but now he ain't gon want nothing to do with this new baby. His parents wouldn't even approve because I'm black and the kids are half black. My marriage is a mess"She cried.
"Look-"I got cut off when there was knocking coming from the door. Melissa wiped her tears and we walked to the door.
"What are you doing here?"Melissa asked.
"I'm so sorry baby. I really love you. I do"He said.
"Is this asahd?"I whispered and she nodded.
"All you gonna do is talk down on me when I get home. So this conversation is pointless"She said shutting the door in his face.
"Baby I'm sorry. I'm so sorry"He yelled bamming on the door.
"I'm gonna need you to stop or I'm going get my boyfriend"I said.
"Mel-"
"Asahd. Please leave. I'm coming home tonight"Melissa said.
"Ok baby"He said and I guessed he walked away.
"You sure you don't wanna stay here"
"Nah I'm fine. Asahd would never put his hands on me"
