Zoey P.O.V.

"I still don't understand how he kissed you and has a pregnant fiancé now?" Cheyenne questioned.

"It just proves that he is the same guy he's been since I met him. I mean seriously what kind of man kisses another woman when his fiancé is pregnant. Oh wait I'm actually not surprised because he did this same shit to me!" I said.

"Zoey seriously this is not the same as when he got caught with that hoe in his office at the restaurant," Cheyenne argued.

"It is the same because here I was thinking he and I were in one place in our relationship and low and behold he was screwing his employee behind my back," I said.

"He wasn't screwing her," Cheyenne said defensively.

"I hate it when you defend him like he hasn't hurt me time and time again. That kiss he gave me the other night was probably just to fuck with me. I mean he knows I'm going through shit with K.J. and he was in an argument with his wife. I'm still surprised he didn't tell me they got married," I said.

"I don't think they are married. I think Evan just said that to be an asshole," Cheyenne said.

"Whatever the case may be I don't care. I mean Caleb having a child with Veronica isn't surprising. They are engaged or either married or planning on getting married very soon. He was going to get her pregnant sooner or later," I said.

"If K.J. hadn't turned out to be the kind of man he is would you have had another child?" Cheyenne asked.

"I don't know. I thought about it and I knew he wanted a child with me. Or at least he pretended to want a child with me. But in all honesty I'm glad I never got pregnant by him. I already have one baby daddy to deal with. I don't need another one," I said.

"I still think this pregnancy sounds suspect. Like I don't mean to be rude but isn't she up in age. Can she even get pregnant anymore," Cheyenne said.

"Cheyenne the woman is only thirty five. You act like she's sixty or something," I laughed.

"Whatever she still isn't a spring chicken like you. I remember when you were thinking about having another child with Caleb," Cheyenne said.

"That was over two years ago when he and I were still together and in what I thought was a good place. Good thing that never happened. Could you imagine me having to deal with him for not one but two children," I said.

"I think you two having a second child would have been great. Giving Cecilia a little sibling to play with," Cheyenne said.

"Cecilia is fine. She loves being an only child," I said.

"Well she won't be an only child for long once the baby comes," Cheyenne said.

"Baby..." Cecilia said as she walked in on my conversation with Cheyenne in the kitchen.

"What are you doing up sweetie. I thought you were watching tv in the living room," I said.

"I wanted some juice," Cecilia said innocently.

Cheyenne went over to the fridge to get Cecilia some juice.

I was over at Cheyenne place for a little while until I needed to take Cecilia over to her father's house.

I was dreading having to go over there after the news I got. I just didn't want things to be awkward.

"Here you go bean," Cheyenne said as she handed Cecilia a cup of juice.
