Just read it!
DISCLAIMER::: THE TOPIC OF ABORTION IS TALKED ABOUT VERY LOOSELY. So if you're sensitive about it then read at your own risk. Also, this book is a three part s...
Telling Bria about what happened she urged me to move out. Agreeing that there was nothing there anymore between Delano and I. Honestly there was never anything there to begin with. Okay I'm lying... maybe there once was something even if it was a little something.
Our father my real father overheard what happened and with no hesitation got me a condo for me to live in. He wanted me to get my stuff together in order to support myself and my two kids.
The one thing I told Delano is that I would never ever hold his kids from him. He can come see Ryan whenever he wants. But he can't come over and start his shit about how he wants us to work things out.
"Mommy, my room is so big!" Ryan said jumping on his bed.
"Happy you like it. Now stop jumping on you bed before you break it" I said. My phone rang "yeah?".
"I'm downstairs can I come up" Delano asked.
"Yeah the door is open" I said ending the call. About two minutes later he came threw the door. "Daddy!" Ryan ran over to him hugging him. "Hey buddy, what's up?".
"Nothing... come look at my room" Ryan said dragging his father along with him to his room. This little boy is something else. I went to the freezer and got some ice to eat. Don't judge me I like eating ice. Delano came behind me "hey".
"Hey" I said.
"He seems happy. Which is good. I don't want him hurting from us separating" he said.
"I'm trying to distract him from what's going on. Hence why I decorated his room" Delano smiled "how are you? You know being pregnant".
"The usual. Nothing too crazy" stuffing another piece of ice in my mouth.
"Good, well... I guess I'll get going" he had his hands in his pockets looking lost like he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Remember whenever you want to see Ryan you can" I reminded him. He nodded "thanks". His head held low he walked out the door. Checking on Ryan he was on his bed watching something on his tablet. Grabbing my phone I signed up to start taking online classes in order to be certified for being a Nursing Assistant. It felt good to be in control of my life for once.

DELANO POV

Sitting in my car about to start it up. You know when you been with someone for a long time that you feel lost without them with you?. That was my current situation.
I didn't mean all of those things I said to gia. I was caught up in the moment. Everyday when I wake up alone I regret what happened that day. But she's doing good for herself without me. Something in me wants me to fight for her to come back to me. But the other half of me just wants me to give her space so she can grow a little.
Still parked here in her condo parking lot. Wanting to drive off but I don't want to. Last thing I wanted was our son having to split time between myself and his mom. This whole situation is messy. My phone vibrated "Hello".
"Delano? It's Ava. Just inviting you out to dinner with myself, Brian and three other people".
"Thank you. What time?" I asked.
"Hmm... eight- ish" she said.
"Okay I'll be there" I said.
"Great, see you then" she said ending the call. Sighing I started up my car and reversed exiting the parking lot.
Never have I cared that Gia didn't have her own way in this relationship. She could've worked but I didn't want her to. Being a mother came first to her. So I wasn't going to pressure her to find a job. Especially since she didn't have to. I know many of you will question why didn't you let her work... I don't know. It wasn't the first thing on my list of things.
Driving all I could think about in the four years we were together and all we been through and survived together. She may drive me crazy but I'm used to it. When I got back to my home. Opening the door to quietness. Usually Ryan would be running around and Gia would have music on somewhere loud. But now nothing.
Even her smell was still here. I apologized for what I said to her that day but she doesn't want to hear it. She rather let me let her live. Why is that so hard for me to do?. I would never want to hold anyone back from becoming great. But Gia... honestly right now I want to go to that condo and demand she comes back to me. Pack up her shit and bring her back here. But I won't do that... for the sake of she won't come back if I force her.
Plopping on the couch and feeling depression overcoming me.

This will be a hard separation period for me. Hopefully I can contain myself from doing anything crazy. Looking at the time I see I when a good couple of hours before this dinner. Maybe a nap would help me relax.
