Derrick is taken aback, he wasn't expecting that at all. He forces a smile and says congratulations honey.

Divinity says its okay daddy, I know you are disappointed.

Derrick what's most important is that you and the baby are healthy. He stays there all night and once she is fever  free for 24 hours, they gather her discharge forms for her to sign. Another nurse gives her an envelope that had a familiar writing on it. She tucks it in her bag with her personal belongings. She takes just one of the roses from the dozens that had been in her room. She tells the nurses thank you and gives the remainder to them. They thank her and tell her good luck with the pregnancy.

Once they get in the car,her father says so I'm guessing that Meecho, is the father.

Divinity- yes.

Derrick so what exactly did you think you were doing running away or something?

Divinity winced at his tone. She had learned long ago, if you wanted a conversation to end, just agree. People just wanted to feel right, correct?

Divinity. Yes.

Derrick says Divinity you have your whole life ahead of you. When that boy called me and told me you broke it off with him, I wanted to kill him. I'm just glad you are okay. Now, when I saw that belly and you all aren't together, I want to kill him again.

Divinity says dad its not that serious.

Derrick NOT THAT SERIOUS. DIVINITY, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE SOMEONE'S MOTHER! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER THAN THAT!

Divinity says you're right dad now can you pull over I have to throw up.

Derrick pulls over and Divinity get out and vomits until she couldn't.

The rest of the ride is silent.

They pull into the driveway of the new house and she waits for her dad to unlock the door.

They walk in and a woman comes rushing over to them....

There you are baby, when I woke up you were gone.

Derrick throws his keys on the counter and says hey love. He kisses her on the mouth and wipes her lip. Liza, this is my daughter Divinity, Divinity, meet Liza my girlfriend. Liza elbows him. Fiancee in the making.

Derrick smiles that's right baby.

He says go get yourself together for dinner Divinity.

Divinity goes upstairs to her room and digs in the bag. She opens the door to her room and closes it behind her. She looks around. Everything looked like it had been frozen in time. She rested the bag on the chair and sat on her bed. She wanted to shower so she did that and had a good cry in the process. She wasn't sure why he decided to let her go, but she would forever be grateful.

She dries off and goes into her closet. None of that stuff was going to was doing to fit. She settles on a sweat shirt dress that made her look like she was hiding a beach ball. She took it off and pulls on another dress. Much better. She pulls her hair back and did a fishtail braid. The baby wiggles and she holds her stomach... tapping her hand a few times before settling down.

She locks her door behind her and heads downstairs.... They are about to pull out of the driveway when a car pulls in beside theirs.... She looks up and says daddy isn't that Ms. Ingrid.

Derrick you should go talk to her. I'll bring you home a to go plate. He pulls out and Divinity crosses the driveway to her car. His mom gets out of the car and walks over to Divinity. She stops in front of her and outstretched her arms. Come on sugar lets go get something to eat.
