Camille:
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. What am I going to do?"I said to myself . "I cannot tell Quincy that I am pregnant. What the fuck was I thinking? Li had been telling me to use protection. I thought I couldn't even get pregnant; now look at me.
I paced my room for nearly an hour, thinking and trying to figure out this mess I had gotten myself into. "Don't get me wrong having a baby is a blessing, but am I ready for this shit?" Is Quincy ready for this?
"Knock knock"
"Yeah come in Li" I said.
"So listen Mil. You are going to have to have a serious discussion with yourself now" my sister said . "I mean sis, you don't have a job, your own place, savings or anything. So what you plan on doing?"
I took a deep breathe to fight back the tears. "Look Li, I know all this already. Ima figure it out."
"And you not getting an abortion if that's what your thinking" Li blurted out before she left the room. "Of course I wasn't getting an abortion . I don't believe in those neither does mama." I said in my head.
I laid back on the bed and covered my face with my hands. "What am I going to do?"Quincy:
"What's up fool?" Quincy said to his homeboy Derek. "Nothing nigga, where you headed?"
"Man I'm going home. I just stayed the night at the jitt Kayla house and ... man she was on ten last night man."
Derek chuckled "man you a fool, what about Camille? Yeen hitting that nomore?"
"You know how it is dog, she my lil baby man but she be tripping sometimes, so I got me a lil woot da woot on the side when she wanna act crazy and shit."
"Aweee man" Derek said . " you that nigga"
Quincy laughed and headed to his car. It was about a 15 minute drive from Kayla'a house to his and only a 5 minute drive from his house to Camille's . He cut the music up and pulled out the parking lot . He needed to go home and take a shower. He had plans with Camille later tonight and he didn't want to smell like some other female.
"Ding" ... his messages pinged
Mil: "Wyd baby?"
Q: " I'm at the crib, about to take a shower. Wby?"
Mil: "nothing chilling. We still on for tonight? I gotta tell you something.
Q: "yeah ma. I'll pick you up at 7:30"
Mil: "okay babe. Don't be late. I love you 😘
Q: "Lu2"
Quincy pulled in his parking lot and walked to his door. He was ready to shower. He didn't really want to go out with Camille tonight. He would rather stay home and invite his homeboys and pour up some Hennessy and play cards. He knew he hadn't seen Camille in about two weeks though because of their argument last week so he decided to take her out and apologize.
He turned on the shower and plugged his phone on the charger.
After his shower he decided to lay down and take a nap, it wasn't even 2:00 yet so he figured he could nap until it was time to go back out.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz"
Mil: "where are you??"
Mil: "it's 8:15 Quincy. You said you would be on time"
Mil: "you always do this shit"
Mil: "I swear I hate yo ass"
Mil: " don't call my phone nomo"
Mil: "you prolly with some dirty footed hoe anyways"
Mil: "fuck you"
Mil: "it's 8:30 and you still not answering me?"
Mil: "I bet yo ass won't see this baby. Yeah bitch I'm pregnant and it's yours"
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz"
Quincy's phone was ringing and buzzing off the hook.
It was 9:00 and Quincy was just now waking up. He glanced at the clock hanging on his wall.
"Oh shit wtf?"
"Damn man I didn't sleep that long did I?" He said out loud. He stretched his arms and legs right before he picked up his phone off the charger. "Guess I better call Mil" he said to himself .
Quincy glanced at his phone and seen 9 messages and 12 missed calls . He rubbed his head before he unlocked his phone and read his messages . He knew Camille was going to be pissed that he missed their date.
Mil: "I bet yo ass won't see this baby. Yeah bitch I'm pregnant and it's yours"
That was the only message that stood out to Quincy. "Smack" went the sound of his phone as it hit his bedroom floor. He sat on the edge of the bed and just blankly started at the wall.
"A baby? A baby? A baby? A baby?" Was the only thing that raced back and forth through his head.
"What the fuck am I going to do with a baby?"
