Why can't I be with him?

Fire In The Field

I figured out how to make it up to them.

I spent a whole month trying to figure this out, and I am now five moths pregnant. I am showing a lot may I add, It's almost like I have two babies instead of one. 

Back to my plan, I was gonna help out more often. Today I woke up really early to go and pick in the fields. The small plants have been growing for a while now and I know how to pick them. Tyrece's mom taught me. She even made a song. It's a little embarrassing to be honest, and you can beg all you want but I won't tell anyone.

So I got up early and it wasn't easy. Tyrece has been a little overprotective lately. When we sleep he wraps himself around me as tight as he can without hurting me. When I get out of the room or the house, he is not even two steps behind me. He tries to keep me sitting or laying down all day. It's not like last time though. My ankles have been swelling up like balloons ever since I hit my fifth month. Sometimes it just hurts, but other times it is excruciating.

When I got other the shock after stepping on the cold floor, I went to the kitchen and made breakfast. Not anything like how it's usually made, but close enough. I put a light fire on the stove and headed out to the fields. I went to the small plants section and got to work.

It was like an hour in when I started to smell fire, I thought it was my fault. I ran to the house and burst through the door to check if the fir in the stove got out, but it didn't. Then I realized, I wouldn't been able to smell the fire if it were from the house.

I ran back.

When I do I see two black boys running away from a fire.

They turned back and saw me and laughed and called me a couple names before they went back to running.

I look to the fire and see that it was engulfing the most profitable crop they have. It wasn't too big, but if I don't do something it won't be so little.  I start to run back to the house.

I know this much running isn't healthy for me, but this was a big problem.

I got to the house and started to fill buckets. I must have made a lot of noise because the twins were now up and helping me.

"What's going on?" One of them asked.

"There's a fire in the field!" I say panicked.

When they here this we stop talking and get right to work.

We were almost done when Tyrece ran out the room yelling my name. I was just running back in from the field.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He had tears running down his face.

I put down the bucket and walked over to him.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I wrap my arms around him and pull my head into my neck.

"I got so scared," He sniffled like a small child, "I thought you left me again."

"Oh no , Tyrece I was just...trying to do something nice for everyone."

"What's happening?" He said finally noticing how run down I looked.

"I saw two boys running away from the field...after they had lit it on fire." I just about whispered to him.

"What?!" He ran outside and saw his brothers finishing the job and about to head back in.

"Why didn't you come get me?! Why the hell were you out there-"

" I was just trying to do something nice." I said astonished at his tone.

" Why wasn't I in on this little plan of yours?! You are already in bad enough condition, and you shouldn't be doing these things!" He said with such anger, and I couldn't handle it.
