Chapter Seven

The next morning I was in Khalil's arms. I looked up at him he was still asleep. Lastnight felt like a dream, from the argument with my mom to even being pregnant. How could I end up in this situation again, in less than a years' time?

We woke up to Kelsey busting threw the room laughing and screaming, "Wake up Lili" She screamed jumping on Khalil. "Mommy made breakfast."

As she saw Khalil stirring in his sleep she jumped off him and ran to the door. Khalil threw a pillow at her, as she stuck her tongue out and ran away.

"Na-Nanny-Boo-boo you can't catch me." she chanted as she ran away.

"Morning babe." he said leaning over to give me a peck on the forehead. I gave him a quick smile then I walked to the bathroom and washed my face, as I brushed my teeth, Khalil walked into do the same.

I woke up more relieved than I've been since I found out I was pregnant.

'The worst had happened, and I accept it I just have to work on making life better for me and my unborn, I had to live with my choices and move on'

Great I'm thinking like a mommy. I thought to myself quickly shaking it off.

"How you feel?" he asked kissing my forehead as we walked to the kitchen. I was hungry, beyond hungry at that my stomach was touching my spine.

"Better than before." I replied smiling, so he knew I was telling the truth.

He went in the car and got our phones. His mom fixed our plates and put them on the table before she went to go get ready for work.

I looked through my phone to see several missed calls and texts from my dad. "At least he's still worried about me." I mumbled underneath my breath.

Khalil looked at me then went to the fridge to grab milk for his cereal. He is about the only person I know that can eat a big bowl of cereal followed by eggs, pancakes, sausages and bacon.

I continued to scroll through my phone texting my dad and letting him know that I'm okay and texting K'lani and Izayah back.

Just then Khalil's phone rang. I could see the picture of Chyna pop up.

"Yo." Khalil answered stuffing his mouth with cereal. "I spent the night at my mom's" He replied to whatever she said. I looked from him to my phone. I could feel his eyes burning through the side of my face.

Khalil is heartless. Believe it or not that's one of the characteristics that drew me to him. If it was on his mind then he would tell you, he didn't care about feelings. Although he didn't mean to most of the time he can make you feel some type of way. He just didn't know how to talk to people.

"Moya you can stay here for as long as you need." she said pouring orange juice in a glass for us interrupting my thoughts. I looked at Khalil then back to her.

"I can't." I said now looking at Khalil. He glared at me. I know he wanted me to I just didn't want to impose.

"Im gone call you back Chyna." He said sternly. "ohhh so you with that lil bi-" She must have herd his mom, I could hear the anger in her voice. He rubbed his temple. "Chyna Im gone call yo ass right back" He said hanging up now glaring at me.

It didn't feel right. I had to do things on my own. If not now then I'd never get right.

"I'll let you all talk this out." She said walking out the kitchen.

I just finished eating trying to avoid an argument. Just as he was about to curse me out Kelsey walked in.

'Thank god' I thought.

I took small bites and small sips. I didn't want to end up throwing up again.

It was no help.

Khalil sat waiting for me to finish.

"Are you going to eat this slow all the time or your just stalling?" he asked.

Halfway through I was running to the bathroom. Khalil cleared off the table and came to the bathroom. When I was done I washed my face and shook mouthwash in my mouth.

We went into his room. I couldn't help but to sit and cry.

"What's the matter babe?" He asked. "Something hurt?" I looked at him then walked into the shower. He put out some clothes for me that I'd left a while back. When I got out the shower he went in. I got dressed and waited patiently eating the fruit plate his mom left me, I guess she heard me throwing up.

After he took me to the block with him.

I remember the first time he took me here with him. It's crazy how time flies. Who would have known that we would be here?

I got in the car and put on my seat belt.

"Drive Khalil." I said breaking the silence. "Where are you gone stay Alisha? Why you can't stay with my mom's?" I knew this was coming. I should have just stayed quiet. I know he was serious because he called me by my middle name.

"I don't know Khalil. I'm not gone be one of your projects. I'll think of something!"

He was starting to get annoying.

"Fuck you mean one of my projects? Moya tighten up man." He said before starting the car and blasting his music.

The drive was silent and awkward.

I reached forward and turned down the music. "Khalil I don't want to stay at your mom's house if you're not there, especially." I took a long sigh then put the volume back up. "Forget it." I could feel him looking at me, but I didn't care I just continued to text K'lani.

"Especially what Moya?" He asked stopping at the stop sign and lowering the music again. "Especially if you're going to be laid up with her." He shot me one of his flirtatious smiles. I knew he knew I was jealous he just wanted me to say it.

I continued to fiddle with my phone. We pulled up to the block my hand in his. I got out and walked to the door with him. I waved to everyone on the porch and walked inside. Khalil walked in shortly after.

I went up to his room and sat on the edge of the bed talking to K'lani on the phone, she was on her way over to take me to get some stuff.

Khalil walked in. "I'm going to stay with Lani for a lil while." He started rubbing his waves. "Khalil what do you want me to do? I'm not staying at your moms' house alone."

"Moya give me a week." I stared from him to Izayah now standing next to him. "Fine." I walked past them both and went on the porch.

'Outside' K'lani texted. Just then I saw Chyna's car pull up.

I was starting to dislike her. She got out the car and waddled up to the porch.

"You don't get tired of being a homewrecker.?!" She spat.

I couldn't help but laugh in her face. "Right says the one-night stand, who wrecked this Happy home." I replied trying to walk past her.

"Right the one night stand who's carrying his baby." She shot back.

I gave her a wicked smile. "Supposed baby." She moved back in my way. "Look Chyna. All I have to say is one word and you know as well as I do that you and your baby will be gone in the blink of an eye. Let's be real with ourselves here, I'm the only reason why you still in this picture. " She moved out the way and I walked past her and down the steps.

I walked to K'lani's car and got in. When we pulled up to my house I packed a few clothes and left. I followed K'lani to her house in my car.

When we got there I went right up to her room and went to sleep. "This is going to be a long pregnancy." I said as I drifted off to sleep.
