Keith sat at the table in his kitchen, studying for a test in his science class when he heard a knock on the door. He willingly got up from his seat to go answer the door. He needed a break anyway. He opened the door revealing Claire.
"Oh, it's you," Keith muttered, "What do you want?" He sighed out.
"Damn, hello to you too," She remarked sarcastically. "Anyways, I need to tell you something important." She walked into the house with no hesitation. Keith closed the door and looked at her. She sighed.
"Keith, I'm not having your child."
"And how long did it take for you to figure that out?" He sarcastically said, he already knew but, no one told him. He just figured since it didn't add up.
"I really don't have time for your sarcasm," She rolled her eyes, "It's Khalil's and he wants to kill our baby. And yours and April's. And as much as I don't like the bitch, I want to help y'all."
"Aww, now all of a sudden you wanna be nice." Keith jokes but, Claire was serious. He couldn't believe Claire's actions because she's never been this way.
"Do you want your baby or not?"

At the doctor's office, April sat on the bed getting ready for an ultrasound. She was in the fourth month of her pregnancy now. She waited patiently and Keith did as well. The room was silent for a while April thought it was strange how Keith was so quiet and looked so into thought.
"KP?"
"Hmm?"
"Whatcha thinkin' about?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I was just thinking about what if you and I moved in together?" He questioned. She smirked and looked to the side. Keith only mentioned but didn't say the reason why and that's to keep her far from Khalil after what Claire told him.
"I don't know... Is it because of the baby? I thought your aunt was going to—"
"Oh, she is going to take care of him it's just, I've been thinking we should move in together. Privacy reasons."
April chuckled, "What makes you so sure it's a boy?"
"Ion know, I just have a strong feeling," He chuckled, "Now we moving on together or what?"
"Of course, I'll move in with you." She smirked, "I have to tell my sister." Then, something dawned on Keith.
"Did you tell your mother you were pregnant?"
"I... no." She said, ashamed. Keith sighed and right then, the Doctor walked in.
"Alright, are we ready for this ultrasound?"
•••
"April, why haven't you told your mom yet?" Keith complained, pacing the floor of his apartment.
"I'm scared! She wanted me to go to college for education and not to get pregnant. She didn't even know about my first pregnancy."
"Lemme guess, your sister did? She took you to abort it?"
"Keith..."
"Call her, right now." He picked up her phone off the table handing it to her but, she did not retrieve.
"I can't. You don't understand—"
"I'll do it then, unlock your phone." April looked up at Keith with a straight face and placed her thumb on her phone. She didn't care much, she rather Keith to do it than her.
Keith went to her call log and looked for her mother's contact name that was labeled Mom anyway. He continued to go through the steps to call her. He let the phone ring for a while and there was finally an answer. "Hello?" Someone answered but, it wasn't a female. Keith looked at April confused as she did the exact same.
"Who is it?" April mouthed.
"A man?" Keith mouthed back.
April stood up quickly and took the phone, the rough manly voice said once more, "Hello!?"
"Hello?" April finally said something, "Who is this?"
"Reggie. Who dis?"
"Reggie? Where's my mother?"
"She's occupied right now." Reggie answered aggressively.
"I need to talk to h—"
"She's busy, got dammit. Good bye!"
The line went dead. April looked up at Keith with tears in her eyes, then she looked down. "This is why I don't call my mother." She murmured.
"Sorry, April..."
"It's okay, she probably wouldn't have wanted to talk to me anyway." She shook her head, wiping her tears away. "You ready for your baby boy to come?" She asked, then wrapping her arms around his neck looking into his eyes.
"Of course," He smiled, following a kiss on the forehead, "We'll tell your mother eventually. Don't worry about it. And I won't pressure you anymore."
"Okay... I love you, KP." She smiled as they engaged in a kiss together, this time, on their lips.
