Shaun POV
Mom and dad was shocked at first. Then angry. My ass was in trouble. But they eventually accepted it. They gave Aaliyah a hug, and they promised to be there the whole time. But, what shocked me the most was Tyra.
"Aaliyah," said Tyra, walking up once ma and pops were done talking. "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting towards you. It was petty as hell, and hope you can forgive me,"
"Aw I forgive you Tyra," replied Aaliyah, as her and Tyra gave each other a hug.
:
"Today was a crazy ass day," I said, as I walked Aaliyah over to her house.
"You damn right it was," she replied.
I laughed. "Ight, I'll see ya in the morning babygirl,"
"Okay bae," she replied.
"Goodnight booh," I say, kissing her lips.
"Goodnight babyboy," she replied, as she walked inside.
I turned around and headed back over to my house. Once inside, I went my room and plopped down onto my bed.
Damn, a nigga gonna be a dad, I thought, as I folded my hands behind my head. I mean, I am 18, but still.. I'm nervous as hell but, I didn't want Aaliyah to know. We were irresponsible for what we did; but it's time for us to own up to it. It's now our responsibility to make sure everything goes well and take care of this baby. I know that our parents are mad as fuck, but I know they're going be there no matter what.
:
From that day on, I made sure Aaliyah was okay. I started watching what she ate, we exercised together. Just everything to make sure that she and the baby was healthy.
By the time she started showing, it was Summer. Our Senior year is coming up and we were hella excited. Everything was going good. Aaliyah's mom was making sure she was eating right, and staying healthy. My parents did the same, and even Tyra.
Aaliyah is just so perfect. I want to spend my whole life with this girl. She makes me so happy and she looked so cute with her growing belly. I could tell she was nervous, but she's brave so she tries not to show it.
Everything was all good, until that day.
:
Our families had just came from a day on the beach on a sunny June day. Everybody was happy. Tyra and Aaliyah were chilling and I was helping dad set up the grill for the cook out.
"Shaun," said dad.
"Yeah dad," I replied.
"I never had the chance to tell you this. But I'm proud of you,"
"Forreal? Why ?" I asked, surprised.
"Because," he replied. "Most boys your age would have left Aaliyah on her own. But you having you're football career ahead of you, you stayed with her. I'm proud that you took responsibility for your actions,"
"Appreciate it pops," I replied, as he gave me a hug.
Suddenly, there was a car screech. A black car pulled up in the yard and I immediately knew who it is.
Ariana...
She didn't know Aaliyah was pregnant, and I didn't want her to know either.
"Tyra, I missed you so much," Ariana said, opening her car door.
"I missed you too," Tyra replied, giving Ariana a hug.
"Hi Mrs.Moore, hi Mr.Moore," she says, waving at ma and pops.
"And hi Shaun," she continued, as she walked up to me and gave me a hug.
"Shaun, could you help me with something?" Aaliyah asked, standing up, showing off her belly.
Damn. .What is Aaliyah doing?
"Ohhhh, look at what we have here," Ariana said, looking Aaliyah up and down.
"How many months?" she asked, turning around to look at me.
"5 months," Aaliyah yells.
"I gotta go," I replied to Ariana, as I walked away.
"Wassup baby?" I asked, walking up to Aaliyah.
"Can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure babe," I replied.
We walked into the house and into my room. I closed the door and we took a seat on my bed.
"Shaun, that girl is obsessed with you," she starts.
"What are you talking about?" I replied.
"I didn't wanna tell you but, she used to try to harass me and shit when we was in school. Talking 'bout you're her man, and you will always be her man,"
"The hell is wrong with this girl?"
"I don't know. But Shaun could you please stay away from that bitch as far as possible. Before I have to beat that bitch ass,"
"I got you baby," I replied, laughing, as I kissed her lips.
"I'm serious baby. Something just not right about that girl. You feel me?"
"I feel you babe. Now lets go," I replied.
We walked outside and I finished helping dad cook. Pretty soon, we was all eating and having a good time.
I got up from the picnic table walked inside the house because I had to go use the bathroom. As I was closing the door to the bathroom, Ariana bursts in and closes the door behind her.
"Shaun how could you have a baby with her," she asked.
"That's none of your business," I replied. "Now get the fuck outta here shawty,"
"But what about our child?"
"What the fuck are you talking about? We fucked once in March. Plus, I used a condom,"
"But Shaun, I love you so much,"
"Yo, Ariana get the fuck out of here," I said, getting heated, as I tried to push her out the door.
"Shaun please leave her for me."
"Hell nahh Ariana. But, yo, can you just leave me and my girl alone,"
"If I can't have you, then no one can," she said, her voice low.
"What?"
"If I can't have you, NO ONE CAN," she said, as she pulled a gun from her purse.
"Ariana, put that gun away," I said, trying to calm her down.
"Shaun, why can't you just love me,"
"I do. Just not like that. Now put the gun away its not even that serious.."
"You're mines, not her's," she replied.
"You too fucked up in the head shorty," I replied. "Now put that gun away and chill with all this bullshit."
"Shaun," she said. "I'm not letting you leave this bathroom,"
"Ariana quit playing," I replied. "I gotta go. I got someone out there who needs me. There's plenty of guys who are willing to date you,"
"If I can't have you, then neither can she,"
And with that she pulled the trigger.
I felt a pain in my side as I dropped to the floor, and darkness clouded my vision as I went unconscious.
