3 days later...

Toni

I examined the dark red bruise above my left eyebrow in the mirror. No matter how much makeup I put on it, you can still see it. I heard the doorbell ring and I threw the makeup brushes down.

"Damn bitch, did you get mugged?!!" Claire asked after I opened the door. She came in and looked around. "Does Kenny know you're here? It's been almost 2 years since I've been to this place."

I'm at the house we bought a few years before Karsyn was born. We got it as a little getaway spot when we wanted time away from the kids...or each other. I'm surprised he didn't sell it. I came and the key was under the mat like always.

"No he doesn't and I don't want him to." I expressed.

"Fine. Now what happened to your face?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." I said.

I'm afraid of what she might say or do if she found out about the fight between Kenny and I.

"Wait...you gotta bruise you don't wanna talk about, you hiding out, and you don't want Kenny to know. Did my soup can head ass brother put his hands on you?! I swear I will whoop his a-"

"Claire stop. He didn't put his hands on me-

"No, don't cover for him now. I'm already texting my threats. Hold still..." She trailed off taking a picture of my face before going back to typing.

"Claire! Stop it."

"I'm done." She said after she had already pressed send.

"Ugh!" I groaned as Kenny started blowing up my phone with calls and apology texts. I politely blocked his number and threw my phone down. I grabbed my chocolate bar from the counter and damn near inhaled it. I eat when I'm stressed and now that I'm pregnant, it's worse.

"Does he know about your little bundle of joy?" She asked poking my belly. like she didn't just make this Kenny situation more dramatic.

"No we didn't get to that. Especially since Val lost the baby."

"That scheming ass hoe...don't get me wrong, I'm sad about my little niece or nephew, but now Kenny doesn't have to worry about being tied down to her."

Kenny

"Are you comfortable?" I asked Val as I fluffed her pillow.

"Yes, Thanks." She said.

"Let me know if you need anything. Don't worry I'm gonna get to the bottom of this."

"Kenny I told you don't worry about it. I don't want any drama. Plus, you don't have to wait on me hand and foot, I should be doing this for you."

"Well I just feel like I have to because...never mind."

"You didn't do it for Toni?"

I nodded with a sigh, "She said something that made me so angry the other day and I did something I shouldn't have. I realized I was angry because she was right."

"Do you still love her? Before you answer just know that I know that you slept with her. Are you gonna cheat again because I lost the baby?" She asked. I felt horrible seeing the sadness on her face.

"No, of course I wouldn't. I just got caught up." I said not answering the first part.

"How do I know that?"

I kneeled down next to her, "What do I have to do to prove it to you?"

She thought for a second, "I want to move up our wedding date and try for another baby after that."

"Okay. Whatever you want."

Valerie

I smiled as Kenny walked out. I thought about giving that pill to Toni but then he would feel sorry for her then fall in love with the bitch again. So, I put it in my smoothie. I don't want any damn kids anyway. Dealing with he and Toni's little bastards is punishment enough.

Now he's feeling sorry and guilty. He'll do anything to make me feel better because he feels indebted to me. Now that Toni's gone I can finally have him to myself.

I almost feel bad for her but I saw Kenny first and she just took him from me. It was like high school all over again; I told her about my crush on Gregory Barnes and he asked her to the spring dance. Then I had the biggest crush on Matthew Louis until I saw her tonguing him down in the library.

She's always been The it-girl and I was just the sidekick. Well not anymore. This time I'm gonna be on top. She can go ahead and have her little animal, but I will be his wife and she'll just be the sad, lowlife, baby-mama.
