A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 31

Tiera

I was looking around for King, but I didn't spot him nowhere. Where the fuck did he go that was taking him so long. Just as I stood up I seen Lexis strutting over to me in a fast pace with king a few inches behind her. He rushed over to me and Grabbed me by my hand which made me frown and look at him confused.

"What's wrong with you"? I asked noticing he was all nervous acting.
"Baby we need to go" he said pulling me as we Walked away, then I heard Lexis voice.
"Don't leave now... Tell her... You fucking tell her now" Lexis yelled out getting everyone's attention at the baby shower. I turned around to see her nose red and tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Lexis what's wrong"? I asked in a soft voice.
"King has something to tell you... He's been hiding something from you and today he's gonna tell you or I will" Lexis screamed.
"Lexis calm down" her mother said walking over to her to comfort her.
Lexis threw her hand up for her mother not to come any closer.

I faced King with a Confused look on my face but he couldn't look at me for some reason.
"Tell me what"? I asked softly.
He didn't respond he just looked down at me with low eyes.
"Tiera... King is my daughter's father" Lexis said still in tears.

My eyes damn near popped out my head, those words crushed my soul at that moment.
"Say what"? I said looking at Lexis.
"King was always with me... I love him and he loves me we were pose to be together but you were always in the way" Lexis said.
I frowned and looked at king as my eyes watered "Is this true King"?

"I don't love her" he said in a low voice with his eyes on me.
"I don't care about that... Is it true?? Are you the father of her baby"? I yelled.
He looked away and clenched his jaw but he didn't answer me. At that minute I started crying, how could they do this to me?
He grabbed my hand but I pulled away "Don't touch me" I said threw my teeth. "Your a liar and a cheater".
"I never lied or cheated on you and you know that" he said in a calm but serious voice.

"Ahhhhhh" was all I heard come from Lexis's mouth before the sound of water hitting the ground.
Everyone focused their attention on Lexis as she stood leaned over in pain and in labor. I covered my mouth "Oh my God".
Me and Lexis​'s mother rushed to her side as she cried out in pain.
"She coming... I'm having my baby" she cried as she squeezed my hand tight.
"I got you Lexis we have to get you to the hospital" I said trying to remain calm.

She looked up at me with sorry eyes "Tiera I should have been told you and I'm so sorry" Lexis admitted.
I nodded my head with more tears forming my eyes. "Let's focus on getting you and this baby to safety".

We rushed away to our cars, King was right behind me with ever step I took, but I couldn't worry about him right now let alone I didn't have shit to say to him. In my mind we were now done... He could be with Lexis and her daughter but for now I just wanted to make sure she got to the hospital safe and sound to deliver this baby girl.

4 hours later

I stood at the baby nursery window Watching Lexis baby girl sleep so Peacefully. She was light bright with a head full of curly hair. Her fingers and toes were so tiny, and she was so cute. A single tear fall down my face at the thought of her being my fiance's daughter. I glanced over to my left and saw king slowly walking my way. I rushed and wiped my tears I couldn't let him see me cry even though I knew I couldn't hide it for long. I can't believe this was the man I was ready to marry and he was hiding shit from me just imagine if we were already married and this happened.
