The Stripper Chronicles 2: Indiscretions (Excerpt )

Seven Months

I moved back into my parents house. Jason called me and told me due to my pregnancy that he wasn't pressing the charges for stealing his credit card. And the fact that Keyke did try to blackmail me.
" I am sorry...Connie for dragging you in this." Jason did had a good heart after all.
Keyke was his high school sweetheart. He always loved her but his mother didn't think she was good enough for him.
When he met me, he had broke up with her to please his mother.
To his mother I was the ideal woman.
I had finished paying my debt to the company and I made sure Angela had her job back even though we all agreed on part time.
Jonathan and I also hired to more agents that took over the satellite project in North Carolina.
Regina and Ma surprised me with a baby shower.
"No strippers this time..." said Regina.Erica helped me opened her present. Misha and Regina were eager for me to open there's. We enjoyed a refreshment of pink lemonade and cupcakes with pink icing since I was going to have a girl.
Ma got up to answer the door. To my surprise, Janice came in with a teddy bear and a gift.
I grabbed her and hugged her. "I miss you, Gurl." She replied. I wiped my tears away.
Everyone couldn't wait to tell her about the wedding.
"You didn't jump her for messing up your day?" Janice asked.
"No, but she barfed all over his Gucci shows!" cried Misha. I was still embarrassed. But I let them laugh at my expense.
"You can't guess who I ran into the other day.."Janice then said.
"No..." I answered. She told me she ran into Relic and he was asking about me. "I told him that you were well on your honeymoon before I knew all of this." She replied.
" He's still mad..." I started. Janice held my hand. "He wants to see you."
I wanted to see him too. But the months went by. I went to doctor's appointments. She was healthy and so far my pregnancy was normal. Ma and Dad let me have the guest room to make into the baby's room. Misha and Regina helped me paint and decorate it.
The more She became real to me when I listened to the swish of her heartbeat.
"What are you going to name her?" asked Janice one afternoon. We were having lunch.
" I don't have any idea. I was thinking after my mom... but no..." I answered. I had heartburn really bad. I pressed my chest.
" That girl gonna have lots of hair..." Janice said.
She then got a serious face. "You and Relic need to make things right."
I drove over to his place. He came out of the door, looking at my car parked across the street. He didn't make a move. I guess I didn't have the balls.
So cranking up my car, I pulled off.
Months passed. Thanksgiving brought stray family members at the house. And the smell of delicious food.
I was getting larger. And hungrier. I helped Ma cook the meal while Dad and my two cousins and three uncles settled down to a football game.
Troy called to greet us and ask for more money. He was coming home next year.
My plans was to be out of the house. I loved being with my parents but I need my own too. And I didn't want to be crowd in with a baby.
There was a knock on the door. I answered it to find Relic standing before me.
"Can we talk?" He asked. Old hurt brew in me. "If you want to." I said sarcastically.
"Look...I am this child's parent too.And I want to be in they life." He explained.
I went outside stepping into the chilled November air.
"Relic...." I started. "It's Tyrell and my child will have my name. That is if it is mine..."he answered. I saw a flash of heat.
"Who's else would it be?" I asked angrily. I breathed. I felt a sharp pain and I doubled over.
"Constance..." he called. He had this concern look on his face. My Dad I guess heard the whole conversation and dismissed him.
It was false labor pains.
I hadn't seen him since. Christmas passed and then we entered into a new year.
I didn't felt well this particular day at the office. I decided to go to Misha's house.
"Gurl, you alright?" Misha asked. I told her I was in a little pain.
She looked at me.
"Gurl, get up...we going to this hospital." I exclaimed that I was fine.
"No...Bitch that baby coming!" she exclaimed.
All I knew in the next two hours I was in excruciating pain.
I was screaming as they wheeled me to the labor room. Misha called everyone and everyone was in the lobby.
Erica came in rubbing my back and comforting me.
I was twisting in pain. The nurses prepped me.
"You can't push right now because the doctor is not here yet. Try not to..." they told me.
I moaned out. The doctor finally came and I pushed with his direction. Pain came in waves.
The next thing I heard was a light cry.
I passed out.
When I came to. I felt something on me. Warm. Wiggling. When I opened my eyes to see what was on me.
I was looking into the eyes, the color of his.
I had to stay over because the baby had a fever and I had a slight infection.
Everyone was at the hospital. Ma and Dad were gushing over my bundle of joy.
"She has the most beautiful eyes. She must be got them from her father." said Dad.
Ma took more to the baby then she took to Troy children. Sometimes the way the Baby mamas act it brought things to question.
Erica was there. She took over washing and taking care of the baby.
"What are you gonna name her?" asked Misha. Janice held her and cooed to her.
"She is so beautiful. She got his eyes." She replied looking at me. "And he wants to see y'all."
I gathered up my nerves as Relic walked in with two bags and a large teddy bear.
He was wearing his signature black everything. He was looking in awe as Janice put the baby in his arms.
Dad was reluctant but Janice got everyone to leave the room.
There was just him talking to her and smiling at her. After some silence.
"She has your nose." He said. I smiled. I admit I still feel butterflies when I was near him.
"She's got your eyes." I said softly.
"I didn't mean it..." He tried to apologize. I took my finger and grazed his lips.
"Her name is Tyania." I said to him.
"Look...I want to help you at least be a parent to her. I was scared. I wanted to be a father but I don't think I am father material." He explained. I pulled the cover against me.
"Well, she has a lot of love around her and surrounding her." I said. Relic looked at me and then he moved in pressing his lips close to mine.
He looked at the child yarning and wiggling in his arms. "So this is what sex can do...." he replied. He then looked into my eyes.
"Maybe I can learn about love."
