Daddy

chapter

Odell Beckham Jr. POV (1996-17 years old):
As I sat down after receiving my diploma I turned around to look and I didn't see my dad. I knew he was going to be here. He promised. I saw my mother tearing up and my brother smiling. I smiled and turned back around. I watched my girlfriend Paige Bernes receive her diploma too. She sat right next to me. She whispered something to me but I couldn't hear her. "What did you say babe?" I said to her. "I said I'm pregnant Odell. I'm going to have a girl." She replied still whispering. That just froze me up. A baby girl. I know Paige.  I know she isn't a whore, so this is my baby. "I knew I should've never said anything" she said still whispering once again. I saw tears stream down her cheeks so I put my thumb out and wiped the tears. Luckily she doesn't wear makeup. My all natural lady. "I'm happy Paige. That's going to be my little girl." She looked at me and smiled. I smiled too.

After everyone received their diplomas, we were announced class of 1996. We threw our caps in the air as the audience went wild. I turned to Paige and kissed her. It felt good knowing that I'm going to be a Father. Speaking of father, I picked up Paige Bridal style and walked out with her. We waited outside and I saw my mother and big brother, but my father wasn't there. "Ma where's pops?" I asked my mother. "Well first of all congratulations to you two," she said while kissing Paige and my cheeks. "Yeah congrats Lil bro bro and sis" my big brother said while dapping me and hugging Paige. "Second, he didn't show up Junior. I'm sorry sweetie."  I was furious and I was still holding Paige so I tried to calm down. She jumped right out my arms and kissed my cheek. "I'm sorry Bae." She told me while I hugged her and she hugged me. I just nodded my head "Ms.Jamessss, I'm pregnant!!" She told my mother. I now understand why my parents divorced. My father is a dead beat dad. Not to mention he was the best example on my older brother Dallas, which is 18. "Yasssssss I'm going to be a grandma." My mom said. I cheered up a Lil bit. I was happy to see my 2 main ladies happy. I saw Paige's mother in her wheel chair and Paige's little brother Derrick (14) pushing it, as her little sister Lisa (4) and her other little brother Denis (3)  running around play fighting. I ran over, dapped Derick and kissed Mrs.Bernes cheek. "Congratulations Odell." Her and Derick said at the same time. "Thanks guys." I said. "Are you happy to be a soon father?" She asked "Yeah I'm excited." I replied. "Yup that's gonna be our baby Oliva Paige Beckham." Derick said. I chuckled. After Paige was done talking to my mom she ran over to the wheel chair and kissed her mothers cheek. "Hey baby girl." Her mom said, "Hey mama. 4 more days and your fully recovered and out that damn wheel chair." Paige said. "Yup." Derick, Mrs.Bernes, and I said at the same time. We all laughed and then Lisa and Denis both started crying. Paige picked both of them up and they stopped crying. "Big Stisterrrrr!!!" They said in unison. I laughed and they kissed her cheeks. Mrs.Berne's caught that perfect picture. Mama and Dallas walked over. "Hey Bridget." My mother said while hugging her. "Hey Heather." Mrs.Berne's said while hugging back.
