Old Flames

[ Chapter 22 ]

Aaliyah was released from the hospital two days after giving birth. She walked into the baby nursery and looked down at her baby boy sleeping. He looks a lot like Jayceon, his skin tone, his little button nose, his lips, his thick curly hair.

"He sleep?" Jayceon asked from behind Aaliyah. She turned around and smiled, "Yeah fed him a bottle and he was out." Jayceon walked to Aaliyah wrapping his arms around her. He looked down at his son, he smiled at the life he created.

"I'm a daddy." Aaliyah laughed, but nodded her head. Looking in Jayceon's eyes she could already see the change. There was love in his eyes. "I love you JJ." He said before kneeling down and kissing the baby's cheek.

Aaliyah smirked. She walked downstairs to get her a bottle of water as there was a knock on the door. She peeked out the window and saw it was Crystal with a bag and balloons.

She opened it and was immediately engulfed by Crystal.

"How are you?" Crystal asked with a warm smile. Aaliyah giggled, "I'm okay, just trying to adjust to having a baby."

"Awww, where is my nephew?" Crystal asked. Aaliyah smiled before leading her to the nursery. When they walked inside Jayceon was holding JJ in his arm talking to him. Aaliyah stood in the doorway and just watched as he interacted with their son.

"When you're old enough, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know in life." He told him as he rocked back and forward.

"I'm going to teach you how to walk, talk, ride a bike, get girls, play basketball. And important life lessons." Jayceon leaned over and kissed JJ once more. Aaliyah was proud of the father he is becoming. She really doesn't have to do much when Jayceon is around. He cooks, clean, and he gives Aaliyah a break from taking care of JJ. He's a really big help.

"Awww that's cute." Crystal said as she walked inside. Aaliyah trailed behind. Crystal took JJ out if Jayceon arms and held him. Jayceon came and stood next to Aaliyah.

"I'm about to get ready for practice." He gave her a kiss on the cheek web hugged Crystal and kissed his baby boy's cheek before leaving.

"He's so cute." Crystal said as she played with JJ. She sat in the chair talking to him.

"So what's up with you?" Crystal asked. Aaliyah shrugged, "Nothibg really.."

"You look happy." Crystal complimented. Aaliyah smiled, she was happy, she has a healthy baby boy, and a loving and caring fiancé, a house over her head and clothes on her back, food in her stomach.

"I'm great." She said with a smile. Crystal nodded her head as she put JJ back in the crib to sleep and the two of them walked downstairs.

"You hungry?" Aaliyah asked as Crystal sat on the couch watching tv.

"Yeah." Aaliyah started making some lasagna. As she was putting it in the oven Crystal called her into the living room.

"Look at this." It was a talk show, but she was more focused on who was starring than anything. She saw Amanda sitting in the big red chair.

"I see you're pregnant." The host stated. Amanda smiled, "Yes I am. I went to the doctor and I'm three weeks. "

"Is this baby from the sexy love affair you and all-star Jayceon Richards had going on?" Amanda smirked, "Yes it is."

Aaliyah's heart broke right there. Right when she thought things were getting better, everything starts crashing down. Jayceon possibly has another baby on the way.

"Don't think about this. You gone stress yourself out. Just talk to him about it. And don't do or say anything you will regret." Aaliyah nodded her head.

"I love you. But I have to get going. See you later." She said as she hugged Aaliyah.

A few hours later, the food was ready and Jayceon was home from practice. Aaliyah has already ate so now she was feeding JJ when Jayceon walked in.

At first Aaliyah was mad and ready to cuss him out. But then she seen how stressed he looked.

"Baby I'm so sorry." Was the first words that came out of his mouth. Aaliyah sighed. She places JJ in the baby pin and walked up to Jayceon and hugged him.

"Baby we will get through this." Aaliyah comforted. The last thing Jayceon thought was that Aaliyah would be understanding about this.

"I love you. I understand that being with you means groupies, you messed up, and now you have a consequence, but I'm not going to leave you high and dry. I love you baby. We goooood." Aaliyah explained. Jayceon smiled, "I'll have Danny find a show it magazine so I can clear all of this up."

Aaliyah nodded her head. She checked in on JJ before going into the kitchen and washing his bottle.

"How was your day?" Aaliyah asked Jayceon as he plopped down on the couch, still looking a little exhausted.

"Tiring, we practiced four hours straight." Aaliyah stood up and went around to where he sat and rubbed his neck and shoulders.

"Thanks baby." He groaned. Little did Aaliyah know that this massage was turning him on. But he had to restrain himself because Aaliyah can't have sex.

"Damn, I'm good." He said removing her hands from his hotspot. Aaliyah laughed, she knew what she was doing, she wanted to tease him and it worked.

"I'm going to go take a shower." Jayceon said as he jogged upstairs. Aaliyah layed back on the couch and watched tv before dosing off.

.........

Jayceon came downstairs and seen a sleeping Aaliyah. He picked her up and carried her upstairs to get in bed.

He walked back downstairs and turned the tv off and picked JJ up out of the play pin.

He carried him upstairs talking to the sleeping baby.

"Never ever, hurt the one you love. You'll end up being hurt." He told his son as he thought about all the wrongs he's done to Aaliyah. He felt bad, especially now that he has another baby on the way.

He can't even deny the fact that baby could possibly be his. He didn't have a condom, he didn't pull out, he put JJ in the baby crib and sat in the chair beside it.

"Damn I'm a fuck up." He whispered to himself. He sat in the chair all night thinking about his mistakes and the consequences he has to pay.

The morning came and Jayceon was sleeping in the rocking chair, but he was woken up by the cries and whimpers of JJ.

He stood up and picked up his son. "You hungry?" he asked as he rocked the little boy. He walked downstairs and proceeded in making the baby a bottle.

"Goodmorning you two." Aaliyah said as she walked downstairs.

"Goodmorning beautiful." Jayceon said as he took the bottle out of the microwave and let it cool a little before feeding it to JJ.

"You didn't come to bed last night." Aaliyah said as she started to make breakfast.

"I kind of fell asleep in the nursery." Aaliyah looked at him and saw that he looked extremely tired.

"Babe you look stressed. Do you want to talk?" Jayceon sighed. He was stressed, practice, big games, a new baby, and now another baby on the way.

"I was just thinking. It's a possibility that baby could be mine. I didn't have a condom and I forgot to pull out." Aaliyah was a little angered from talking about this, but she was done arguing. She's not going to let some bitch ruin her family. Her and Jayceon will get married, now if the baby is his he will take care of it, she will make sure of that.

"Baby relax everything will be alright."

Jayceon nodded his head, little did they know this was only one of many obstacles to come in their relationship.
