3 weeks later
"Pregnant!!!!" Tally yelled jumping on me. I was sitting in Waffle House with her and Anthony. I told them everything that happened in Miami.
"Yes I'm pregnant. Please stop yelling."
"Does Romeo know?
"Yes but I don't plan on talking to him again. I can't bring that toxic energy around my baby."
Ant shook his head. "No kid should grow up without their father. I mean look how that damaged us." Part of me knew Anthony was right but I don't care right now.
"Anyway when is your next doctor appointment?" Tally asked.
"In a hour do you wanna come?"
"Yes!!! Imma be the best auntie ever!"
"You coming Anthony?" I asked hoping ell say yes.
"Of course. Got make sure my nephew good."
"You mean niece." Tally corrected him. They argued for bout 30 minutes before we left for the doctors.
"Good afternoon Miss. Clark. My name is Dr. Tracy Adams."
"Hi." I said shyly.
"Is this dad?" She asked smiling.
"No the fathered isn't around. This is my brother and best friend."
"Ok well how bout we get you changed and all set." She asked Ant and Tally to leave to give me some privacy. When she came back she did and ultrasound.
"Well you look to be about 7 weeks."
I was in love with the little thing on the screen.
"Can you tell me what I am having?"
"Not until about 12 weeks but if I move the wand right here..." next thing I knew I heard a heart beat. I was crying. "Do you want so pictures?" I nodded my head so fast I thought it was gonna fall off.
**in the car**
"Omg. She looks just like you."
"It might be a boy and you can't tell who it looks like."
"True" I agree with Ant.
We ended up looking at apartments. Even though I love spending time with my brother I highly doubt he wants me and a baby living with him.
"This one is nice and in your budget." Tally says.
"What budget?"
"Exactly what budget?" A strange voice asked. I turned around to see Romeo's dad.
"Mr. Sanchez what are you doing here?"
"Do you mind if we talk outside." He said putting his hand out. I grab onto it.
"You look good healthy."
"Thank you. I was wondering why your are here. No offense." We've gotten close over the months.
"James told me everything Nova. I am truly sorry for my son."
"You don't need to apologize for him."
"I also know that you are pregnant."
I covered my belly. "Yes please don't take my baby. Please I don't want Ro..."
"I would never take your child away and have Romeo raise him."
I wiped my falling tears. "You wouldn't?"
"I thought my son was a man. But he is still a child. I would never let him raise a baby."
I sighed. He was right Romeo still had childish ways.
"I would like to take care of you and my grandchild. You will never need or want for anything."
"What's the catch?"
He sighed. "I made a lot of mistakes with my son. I only wish you do a better job than me."
"I don't know what to say."
"I believe the word is thank you."
I hugged him. "Thank you Antonio."
"Go get you friends so I can take you your home." I gladly ran back inside to get Ant and Tally.
"So wait. Romeo's father is paying for you a home."
"Yes. Now stop questioning it. He hates that."
We got into the car following Antonio's car. 5 hours. That how long we have been driving.
"Los Angeles? Girl you gonna be living fancy." Tally said smiling.
We pulled up to this beautiful house.

"Oh Jesus

"Oh Jesus." I said feeling my mouth drop.
"You like yes. Nothing to flashy. Perfect to raise my grandchild."
"It's perfect."
"I guess we won't be seeing you often. 5 hours is a lot of time." Anthony said.
"You can stay here. Right?" I said looking at Mr. Sanchez.
"It's your house you can do whatever you feel. Also..." he pulled out two sets of keys an iPhone X and burner phone and a folder.
"The folder contains everything you need for your classes at UCLA. You start next week. The iPhone has a new number that can't be tracked. One house key and one key to the Blue BMW"
"What?"
"I have to get going. But call the first number on the phone." He kissed my forehead. "There's also a bank card. Use as you please."
Before I could say anything he was in his car gone.
"We living big huh?" Tally asked
"I guess so". Walking inside the house.
The house was fully furnished. It had five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Walking up the stairs I open the first door. It was a nursery

White for the first Sanchez baby to be born an angel. May this child see better days than the one before him... or her
Love Grandpa
I wanted to cry so bad. I'm actually crying. I just wish Romeo could be here. See this. Feel this. Leaving the baby room going to the next I walk into the master bedroom. I'm so tired I just take off my shoes and lay down. Before I fall asleep I call the number on the burner phone.
"Nova?"
I was shocked at who's voice it was. But if brought a smile to my face.
"James."
"You remember me?"
"It's only been like a month stupid."
"You wound me with your words. How are you doing?"
"Good. Your tio is really coming through."
"Good. He's pissed at Romeo. Apparently he got arrested."
Hearing that made my heart break.
"Is he ok?"
"You know his dad got him no matter what. He just have him working harder."
"That's good. I just want him safe."
"Do you feel safe?" He asked.
I smiled. "Yes James I feel safe."
"That's all I want. But I have to..."
"Don't hang up. Ant and Tally went to the store. Just talk to me."
"About what?"
"Any."
"Any? Ok. Umm. Have you thought bout baby names?"
I yawned. "Nope name some."
"Well there Logan, Taylor, Lydia..." he kept naming names as I fell asleep. "What about Kory with a K?"
"I like that. Kory" it sounds perfect.
"Good to sleep Nova I'll call you tomorrow."
