Loyalty And Love 2: Against The Odds

Chapter 12: Trouble In Paradise

Kiara POV

_____________________________

The following morning I woke up and seen Khy just walking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist as he used a hand towel to dry off his face.

"Morning Baby." I stretched, managing to smile as well.

He smiled back and said "Good Morning."

I sat up against the headboard of the bed "Where are you headed to?"

"Going down to meet with a lawyer today. If we're going to go to court then we're going to be prepared." he wrapped the hand towel around his neck and walked into the walk-in closet.

"Well what about me?" I stuck out my bottom lip as if the could see me.

"You can chill here till I get back I shouldn't be long." he walked out with some boxers on and a black wife beater.

I looked at Khy and he chuckled "Why don't you plan something for us to do for when I get back.

He gave me an idea at that point.

"Why you we go see our parents....so they can meet Malachi. It's only right."

Then I sensed Khy demeanour change. "We can take him to see your parents..." He put on a black T-shirt and some jeans.

"Why not yours?" I looked at him strangely

He sighed then walked over to the bed and sat on the side as he slipped on his Jordan's.

"What?" I asked.

He turned and looked at me..."I don't know if I'm ready to take Malachi to them."

"Why not?"

"Because, it just...man.." the he took a deep breath "He ain't mine Kiara.." he blurted out.

"Khy you said out of your own mouth that-" then he cut me off.

"I know, I know what i said but man now that I'm living in reality it's hard man. It's gonna kill me inside when my momma pick up Malachi and hugs and kisses on him thinking that's her grandson when it's really not. It's going to kill me when my parents talks about how proud they are to have another grandson when it's really not. I'ma feel like I'm lying to them."

"So all that BS you told when I was pregnant was lies Khy? Really? Just because I made a mistake you penalize my son like it's his fault his father can't be you...You know what Khy that's real shallow...and you know what...fine Malachi doesn't have to be yours, he's mine and that's all that matter." I got up and walked out of the room.

I was beyond heated with Khy that he would even say something like that after he said 'No matter the results I will always look at Malachi as mines.' I fell for it too.

I went downstairs into the kitchen. Khy followed behind not too much longer.

"Baby listen I ain't mean it like that."

"Oh you didn't?" I rolled my eyes and got myself a granola bar.

"Listen, I love Malachi and you very much and you know that. I do think of him as mine but then I think to myself how can I claim another nigga's kid as mine? I'm just battling my thoughts and right now it rough for me..I ain't gonna be like this forever but right now my head ain't right."

I rolled my eyes and brushed past Khy "Excuse me, I have to check on MY son!" then started up the stairs to check on Malachi.

When I got up there he was awake just looking around, not crying, whining, just looking.
