I'm Pregnant...

Chapter 16

Diamond...

I woke Layla up ten minutes ago, and I still haven't heard a movement from upstairs. I removed myself from the table that placed eggs, bacon, and pancakes. I walked back to the guest room that Layla insisted to stay in. All the way from the outside of the room I heard her small snores.

"Layla get up" I shook her. All she did was move to the other side of the bed. "Laaaaylaaa" I dragged out her name. Just like in high school, she never got up when you were being nice to her. I took all the covers off of her, and smacked her thigh. Making her jolt up. "I ought to kick your ass" She gave me the death glare. I laughed. "You gotta wake up, take your pills and eat."

"Alright I'm up." She followed me downstairs. We both sat down at the table. And began to eat. "Did I tell you how much I liked your house." "Yes 10 times, but you haven't even seen the rest of it." "There's more?" "Yeah, but you were to busy worrying about a damn job, you weren't even trying to listen to me."

"Well I need a job" I nodded "I got you one" She jumped up and wobbled to me and sat on my lap giving me the biggest hug she could being that her stomach was in the way. I hugged her back. "So what is it?" I snickered. "Your working with me" She frowned. "Forget it" "You don't wanna work with your bestfriend?"

She gave me a look, that I couldn't understand, but she I could tell she was annoyed. "Look your getting paid just like a regular job, its just that your gonna be with me. Traveling, meetings, and I may need your opinions on things"

"What is it that you do?" She should know. I been doing this since we were in high school. "C'mon now" I hope shes joking I mean, I ain't ever changing. I looked down at her plate and saw it was empty. "C'mon you gotta get dressed" I stood up and cleared the table. "Diamond I hate when you do that"

"And what might that be" She followed me into the kitchen. "When I'm serious you completely change the subject. Like answer the question" She folded he arms. "I got a surprise for you get dressed now Layla" "We're not kids anymore stop bossing me around. You not my daddy Diamond" She screamed. She was really making me loose my patience. "You could've walked past him yesterday and not have known cause you don't know who he is."

Demetri...

I ain't never missed a girl so bad man. I feel like Layla just has taken a toll on me. Shannon and my moms here to take care of me, but ion want them to take care of me. I want Layla to. I know its fucked up how Shannon took off of work to take care of me and I don't even want her in my presence. Plus she brought our son. Who don't even know who I am. And I can't help but think that Layla will take the twins away from me too.

"Baby you gotta eat" My mom said placing a plate full of food in front of me. "Who cooked this?" "I did" Shannon said coming from the kitchen wearing Layla's apron that said 'Kiss The Cook' in fancy letters. "Ion want it" I said pushing it back.

"Boy if you don't eat" I looked at her crazy. Then Jr came over. I sat him down on my good leg when he told he had to tell me a secret. No he still doesn't know I'm his father, I already planned when I'm gonna, say it how I'm going to say it, and where I going to say it. "Mommy said if you eat you can get better faster. So I would eat a lot until I get all big and fat like her" He whispered and pointed to my mom.

I haven't laughed so hard, since I was with Layla. I stopped laughing and thought if I would ever have the same conversation with the twins. I picked the fork up, and started eating. While Jr. kept talking about his school. All I really did was nod until he started telling me how he is cold at night sometimes. "Mommy doesn't have heat?" I asked. "Well I only cold when we sleep outside when Grampa say we can't stay there no more" "How many times does Grampa kick you out?"

Right when Jr. opened his mouth to reply, Shannon came rushing in the living room. Taking him off my lap. "Ow mommy that hurts" Jr. said. "Shannon your hurting him" She heard nothing I said taking Jr. to the guest room.

"What I tell you about telling people our business" She yelled. "I'm sorry mommy, I forgot" "You want them to take you away from me?" "No" "Then stop running your damn mouth" After that you heard a big slap noise, and Jr. screaming. "Your on a time out stay in here"

I stood up, and grabbed my crutches to help me walk to the guest room. "Stay out of it" my mom chimed in. "Thats my son" "If I would have done that to you and make you not grow up so fast maybe you wouldn't be a gang banger." "You remember you did do that to me. You threw vases, and glass at all of us. You forgot?" I continued to walk out of the room while Shannon was walking out. "Demetri don't bother him." "We'll talk later" I continued to walk in the room, I turned to Shannon who was standing in the doorway. "Bye" I said dryly. She turned around and stomped away.

Jr. was still whimpering. Crawled up in a ball laying on his side. "I can't say anything" He said in between breathes. "You wanna watch some tv?" I asked completely changing the subject. "Yeah" "I grabbed the remote from the side of me. "Before we do you gotta sit up and wipe them tears. Big boys don't cry" When he sat up, you can see the handprint on the side of his cheeks. That shit got me angry. "Here pick a channel. I'll be right back"

"Nooo. Don't leave me. Mommy gonna hit me" I didn't know what to do. "Jr. I'll be right back. She not gonna hit you." "Please" He said grabbing my shirt. "If you let me go tomorrow I'll take you out to go get anything you want tomorrow." "Anything?" "Anything" I reassured him.

I grabbed my cruthches and walked into the kitchen where Shannon, and my mom were. "Why you hit him?" she sucked her teeth. "Thatd my baby. The one I carried for 7 and a half months" "How you gonna blame me when I ain't even know about Jr."

"Demetri it ain't up to you like that" my mom said. She ain't never on my side. Thats why I was kicked out. My dad said kick me out, what she do? Kick me out. "This is between the mother and father" I said pointing between me and Shannon. My mom rolled her eyes and left the house. "Why you hit him? Don't feed me no bullshit either." She scoffed at me. "He needed to learn his lesson. I don' told him time and time again to stop saying our business to people."

"I ain't people Shannon. I'm his dad" I yelled at her. "Your my daddy?" I wad too busy yelling I didn't even realize Jr. was standing in the doorway. This was not how I planned him finding out but I just gotta go with the flow. I looked him in his eyes. "Yeah buddy" He smiled and hugged my leg. "Daddy I missed you"
