Chapter 12

©Tinnika Gibson

Jacob woke this morning in a funky ass mood. He's been in a bad mood ever since Erica visited him last week. I ain't mean to hurt her but could she really blame a nigga?

"I got a lot on my mind Christine" Jacob said sighinig as he plopped down on the couch in the therapist office. "I can see, it's been a week since I seen you what's been going" she asked. "My girl I mean ex came to see last week" she nodded telling him to continue. "So anyways she brought my daughter and everything it was cool until we got into an argument"

"What this argument about" she asked. "About selling the house" "is this a house that you once shared?" He nodded. "But that ain't even the fucked up part thats got me all in my feelings" Christine gave him stern eyes for his use of language. "So what is?" she asked indicating for me to continue. "ight so look we up in there arguing about the house the she was all like..

"So you sold the house" Erica stated and he nodded. "Why?" he sighed. "I needed the money for rehab I tried getting the money from my stash- I mean mom but she said she didn't have that kind of money"  Erixa nodded. "How'd you sell it without my signature anyways" she asked him. "I uh" he cleared his throat "forgeyoursingnature" he said quickly but Erica still her him"you did WHAT!" she yelled.

"I'm sorry" he told me. If I ain't sick of hearing those words come out of his mouth. Erica though her to her self. "your always sorry" she scoffed. "Babe don't be like that I needed the money to better myself for you and Zaria" "don't babe me I should get your ass arrested for forgery" He shook his head. "Don't do that I ain't tryna be in jail, I got Zaria to look after"

"you should have thought of that before you signed my signature to that paper" he kissed his teeth. "Its done and over with just leave it at that" he told her "don't tell me to leave it at that because of you I have no where for me and my baby to stay" she yelled at him and quickly put her hand over her mouth. This is not the way I planned on telling him.

"Your what?" She looked down and played with my fingers. "my baby... I'm pregnant Jacob" his eyes widened. "Your pregnant?" he asked and she nodded. He shook his head which pissed her off for some reason "why the fuck you shaking your head" she was so pissed. "What you mean why I shaking my head for" she was getting heated because he was acting like this baby couldn't be his. "Like I said why you shaking your head, you acting like this baby not yours"

"Is it" Erica slapped him across the face and walked out.

"Could you blame me for asking Christine? I mean I ain't seen her for almost four months then she pops up saying she pregnant" Christine shifted in her seat "Jacob you can't be blamed for asking but its probably the way you asked is what offended her" Jacob nodded taking in what Christine said, maybe he did come across as a douche by the way he asked Erica if the baby was his. "maybe your right Christine but that still ain't give her the right to hit me though" he  said slouching down into the sofa.

"your absolutely right but just like you didn't think when you said what you said she probably didn't think when she slapped you" "all I know is I won't ever get her bad side again she got my jaw all swolen" they both chuckled.

"okay so how you feeling now that you have gotten everything off your chest" he smiled.

"a lot better thanks Christine" she returned the smile "your welcome Jacob" she said standing up the same time he did tand followed him to the door. "Now you fix whatever is going on between you and Erica so when you get out of here you can be a father to that baby" she told him. "We don't even know if its mines" She gave a straight face. "I'm joking" Jacob chuckled as he exited out the room.

I already know that the baby is mines because Craig said it is but that don't mean that I don't have doubts like I said she could have been with someone else while I'm in here.

I don't know about fixing stuff between me and Erica like Christine said 'cause I'm pretty sure she done with me but if that baby really is mine I want to be there for it.

"hey man" Jacob dapped Craig "wassup" he handed him a sleeping Zaria.  kissed all over her face before laying her on the bed. "You good up in here?" he asked "why evertime you visit me you ask me that same question" Jacob laughed. "Just making sure you straight"

"I'm good bro. Up in here ain't that bad its just hella boring, I want to hurry and get out so I could go to the bar and get me something strong to drink" He straight faced me. "Just joking" he put his hands up in surrender. "You better be."

Craig's phone rang. He looked at and sighed "babymama" Jacob laughed. "more like fiance" Jacob eyes widened as Craig smirked and walked out the door. I can't believe my boy done proposed to Breaunna.

"Daddy!" Zaria said lounging at Jacob. "I missed you" he kissed her cheek. "I missed you to baby girl" She crawled into his lap. "I brought you a dawing (drawing) and a  picture of me and mommy" she said counting on her fingers.

"you did" she nodded then got off his lap and went to her bag that was on the chair that was in the corner of the room and got out her drawing and picture to give to me.

Jacob took them from her and looked at them. It was a drawing of him and her and a picture of Erica and Zaria. He pulled her onto his lap.

"Zi, Erica is not your mommy" he told her. He didn't need Tink coming back and hear Zaria calling Erica mommy 'cause he would never hear the end of it."her not" she looked up at him with watery eyes and he shook his head. "Then who my mommy?" she asked. "You don't remember your mommy?" She shook her head. "Well your mommy name is Tink and when daddy gets out of here I will show you your mommy okay" she nodded.

"guess who's birthday coming up in a month" I poked her sides "Yours?" be shook my head. "Miss Erica?" he shook my head again. "Mhmm uncle Craig!" she shouted positive that she got it right. "my real mommy?"

"no silly yours" she smiled.

"it gone be my birthday?" she asked excited. "What you wanna do on your birthday" she put her hand to her lip and looked up as if to say shes thinking."a party!" she shouted. "You want a party?" she nodded."A dora the explora party" "Alright, daddy gone see what he can do okay" she nodded.

Craig walked back in "we gotta go" he said causing Jacob and Zaria to pout.

"I don't want to go daddy" he kissed her forhead. "I don't want you to go either" She started crying. "Don't cry Zi, you'll come and see me next week okay" he wiped her tears. "Can I go to miss Ericas house?" She sniffed and Jacob sighed and shook my head. "No baby you going back to grandmas" she pouted. "But I want to go to miss Erica's and kiss my sister good night" she said."Zi you don't have a sister" Jacob told her. "Yes I do miss Erica said that my little sister is in her stomach"

"So can I go to stay with her" he shook me head. "not tonight maybe some other time okay" she nodded then got off me and walked over to Craig grabbing his hand and pulling him out the door.

"So you just gone leave without giving me a kiss?" he asked her and she kept trying to pull Craig put the door. "Girrrl you better give me a kiss before you go" she pouted as I picked her up. "You better tuck that lip in girl" he said as he flicked her lip. He went to kissed her cheek but she put her hand in the way. "You not gone let me kiss you?" She shook her head so her threw her up in the air and catched her twice and she started laughing. He kissed her cheek.

"Daddy gone see you later alright" she nodded her head. "Alright give daddy a kiss" "I love you" she kissed his lips. "I love you too" He kissed all over her face before I put her down and dapped Craig.
