"Aww, damn. Now, you goin have two kids by two different baby mamas." Luke shook his head, "You need to learn to wrap it up, boy."
Keith had already told Luke everything and told Algee what happened when him and April were at the elevator. They were in shock that Keith, of all people, would have this happen to him.
"I thought Luke would be the one to have two baby mamas." Algee joked.
"Man, at least I get bitches. Now, shut the hell up," And that's exactly what Algee did, shut the hell up.
"I'm not sure if Claire's is mine, though." Keith finally spoke, thinking to himself.
"What you mean? She said she was two or three months or whatever so—"
"But, I didn't have sex with her in over five months."
The guys look at each other in confusion, "Well somebody's gonna have to take a paternity test with one of their baby mamas."

Instead of going back to the girls, April went over to see Sammy and Quincy. They had to know, it would only be wrong if they didn't know. She knocked on their apartment door, crying her eyes out still. It was late at night, she just left Keith's.
The door opened and it was Quincy standing there, shirtless with only basketball shorts on. "Hey, April your aight?" He spoke, furrowing his thick eyebrows.
She looked up from the ground slowly, examining his torso, then to his face studying that. She would risk it all and do the unthinkable but, she wasn't in the mood. She couldn't.
"Can... Can we talk?" She said, sniffing.
"Yeah, of course. Come in." He opened the door up to her and she came in.
She got settled in, sitting down on his couch still crying. She looked around for Sammy, who she thought would be more considerate. But, it was evident he wasn't there. Quincy came to sit down right next to her.
"What's going on?" He questioned.
"I... um... I'm pregnant... and scared." She began to cry harder, into her hands.
"April, April. Calm down. Do you know who the father is? It's not Khalil is it?"
"No it's not Khalil, it's Keith. But, he has another girl who's pregnant and now it's me or her. And because him and I were never together together, he's gonna choose her." She explained to her best ability in between crying.
"Look, I don't know Keith like that but, I'm positive he won't be that dumb to abandon you like that. And if he does, I'm here for you." Quincy said sincerely. She really felt he was being truthful about this. She's known him for a long time and she knows when he's not lying.
"Thank you," She said wiping her tears away, and giving him a weak smile. He returned the smiled. Quincy and April couldn't contain themselves. This, for them, had to happen one time and one time only.
They leaned in slowly and they kissed.
And didn't stop for a while.

-Morning-
Sammy was on campus walking, minding his business as usual. All of a sudden he was pushed aside, hard. He dusted himself off and looked back up only to see Khalil. "Nigga, what do you want?"
"Claire tells me that April's pregnant as well. Why?" Khalil spoke.
"Because when you have sex with some one, and not use protection, you tend to nut in side and make a baby or sum like that." Sammy sarcastically replied. April eventually told Quincy to tell Sammy about her pregnancy so he is already aware.
"Don't play games with me, Sammy. All I want to know is if it's mine or that other nigga."
"If it was yours, why does it matter? You have a restraining order." Sammy replied but, he saw the impatience on Khalil's face. "It's not yours, it's Keith's. And I say you stay away from him."
"Don't tell me what to do. All I came here for is to find out if I had another baby on the way. I already got Claire knocked up." Khalil said this loud enough as Luke strolled past. He didn't mean to be nosey but, Claire is a crazy girl.
"I'm sorry to intervene," Luke said walking over to them, "You said Claire is carrying your baby?"
"What's it to you?" Khalil turned his attention to him.
"It's just... nothing. Nothing. I'm just that nosey nigga 'round campus sorry. Imma go—"
"Nah hold up, blood." Khalil said turning his attention to Luke. "You know sum?"
"No. And if I did, I wouldn't tell you." Luke replied with an attitude. "Now, can you let me leave? Ion know about you but, I got a class. And so do my mans Sammy. Come on, man."
Sammy and Luke both walked away with Khalil standing there in anger. Being away from April and finding out she's pregnant was really affecting him. Because it isn't his child and it should be and it was definitely tearing him apart. He had to do something.

Dana had already went off to the club, and Karson stuck around for a little bit to make sure April was alright. At the moment, April was in bed and Karson was all ready to go.
"You sure you're gonna be fine alone? Because I can call K—"
"Don't bother. I'll be alright."
"I'm sorry I'm asking so much, last time I left you alone—"
"Karson. I'm fine, you go shake ya ass to pay the rent, okay?" April joked. Karson cracked a smile and nodded. She hugged April before she left out of the room and out of the house.
April did feel really lonely. She didn't want to call Quincy at all, after their make out session, she now has this feeling things were gonna be weird. She knows she should've done it but, she couldn't help her self.
April heard the door slam outside of her door. She was a little scared at first but then, she figured Karson forgot something. But, it was awfully quiet for her to get something.
"Karson? Karson!" April called out. "Kars!? Did you forget something?" She said but, still, no answer. April didn't want to risk anything but, she had to see what was going on.
She grabbed a bat out of her closet and slowly walked out of her room. She looked side to side. "Karson, stop playin' around!" April called out again.
The room instantly got black.
