Charity Blake and her husband , James Blake decide to have children but during the journey, James decides he doesn't want any children. Charity ends up pregnant and has to raise her child with her parents help.
Charity was happily married to James ever since she was twenty-four years old. She was ready for kids , she swore she was. She knew she was. James was too, at least he thought.
One day, they found themselves fooling around in the bedroom with no protection. They both lied there side by side, staring at the ceiling. "Cher, I don't know of I was even really ready for this. You?" James lied there with a blank expression, now looking towards Charity.
"I've been ready for three years, James. My fertility is great. Now is the time to do it."
He stated her in the eye for about a dozen seconds before sitting up off of the bed and grabbing his pants. "Where are you going ?" Charity asked. "I'm leaving." James had a look of hurt in his eyes. Almost as if he didn't want to leave but wanted her to think he did. "Leaving ? We're married. We put money, effort, and time into this relationship therefore you can't just leave. Where would you even go? See there, you make no fucking sense." Chasity reached for her shirt on the bedroom floor. "We'll just have to be separated for now. I can move in with my brother until we get shit all planned out ... if you get pregnant, I'm not taking care of a baby." Charity's eyes began to tear up by now. "Get out then !" She threw his underwear at him. "Go!" James laughed , and then went outside and slammed the door. ________________________________ 6 W E E K S L A T E R

It was official. Charity was pregnant. She was one month and a half. Without her husband , she barely had enough money to raise a child. There was really nothing for her to do. She just had to call somebody and tell them what she just found out. She picked up the phone. She didn't know who to really call. There was only like two people she could call. Her parents or her brother ? Her parents. She called her parents house phone. Her mom picked up.
"Mama?"
"Hey Charity! What's up, baby ?" My mom sounded excited as if she hasn't talked to me in years.
"Mom, I don't really feel like talking righ-"
"So why'd you call me ?" My moms New York accent made me smile.
"I have some bittersweet news."
"Okay..." she was waiting for it.
"You're going to be a grandmother soon." There was an awkward silence before her mother hung up the phone without even saying anything. Charity was confused about her mother's reaction , her mother has been talking about how she wanted grandchildren since Charity was like twenty-two years old.
After about two hours , her mother called back. "Charity ? Are you here ? Baby, can you hear me ?" "Mom, I'm right here, and yes I can hear you." She laughed. "I was just so shocked when you told me ! Congratulations baby !" ________________________________

She was born. She was beautiful. Charity looked into her eyes and felt her world spin. She had never loved something more than she loved this baby. This baby was her everything, and it had only been on this earth for three seconds. "Do you have a name for her ?" The doctor smiled, staring at Charity and her mother.
"Jade Ivy Blake." Charity smiled. "My baby is so beautiful, like her mama." She laughed. The doctor smiled and exited the room.
