*Chris*

I woke up from a nap late in the evening. Chloe and Caydence were out shopping. I looked at the clock and it read 8:32pm. I called Chloe. "Bae where u at? It's getting late and I'm hungry." She laughed. "I knew u would be. Me and Caydence are picking up some pizza then we will be on the way." She said. "OK. I love u." "I love u more." She said laughing. We said our goodbyes and hung up. I went to go take a piss. After I handled my business I started to walk out the bathroom door until something in the trash caught my eye...

*Chloe*

I walked in the house holding a sleeping Caydence. I called Chris to tell him to get the pizza out of the car. Once we sat at the table to eat I noticed how quiet Chris was being. "Wats wrong bae?" I asked rubbing his arm. He looked at me. "How far along are you?" He asked. I was shocked. "Wat u mean?" I asked playing dumb. "I seen the pregnancy test in the trash. And I noticed u didn't bring any bags back with u. I've never seen u go to the mall and not buy anything." He gave me a stern look. "Now where were u?" I hesitated. "The abortion clinic." I mumbled. His eyes started to water. "Chloe u killed my baby?!" He shouted, scaring me. "No Chris. I couldn't bring myself to do it." I said with tears in my eyes. "But u were initially going to because u were at the abortion clinic. Clo why were u going to kill my seed? You don't want anymore kids by me?" He asked, his face soaking wet with tears. "No I do but not right now. Our family is perfect and we're about to get married. Planning a wedding is gonna be stressful and I don't wanna complicate things being pregnant. Chris u have to understand where I'm coming from." I said hoarsely. I was losing my voice. He shook his head. "You still should've told me Clo! Only God knows how long you've kept this from me." I dropped my head. "Almost a month. I just suspected it because I missed a couple cycles but I took the test this morning and shot straight to the clinic. Chris I really wasn't thinking. I'm sorry please forgive me!" I begged. "I don't see why u kept this from me. That is OUR baby in ur stomach WE should have made a decision together. It's not fair and Its under handed." He said getting up from the table and storming up the steps. I just sat there. Numb. Tears rolling down my face. A couple minutes later I heard him come down the steps. Then I heard the front door open and close. I cried even harder.
