How do I get myself into these things? Single, no job, and I don’t know who the father is. I used condoms with them both.
Fuck my life.
Cameron
I look at Kay in complete disbelief. I have to be hearing things. In the six years we’ve been having sex, not once have we gone without a condom or ever had a slipup.
Why is this happening now? I had been working on a plan to get Amina away. Her trip to New Jersey to bury her father wasn’t the greatest.
She texted me that she was sick to her stomach the entire time. As much as she cried, I could understand why. With everything I am, I wanted to be there with her.
I didn’t ask about that asshole. I don’t want to know if he was around. All I wanted was to take her away and keep her safe from him. Now Kay has dropped a fucking bomb in my lap.
“Maybe we can work things out for the baby. You know, get married like we planned. We’ve always dreamed of starting a family together,” she whispers.
My head is ready to explode. I had broken away from this. I found exactly what I wanted in Amina.
However, I’m being thrown back into what everyone else wants for me. I can see my mama and Kay’s eavesdropping from here. Now I understand the look in their eyes when I arrived.
They’re all planning my life for me. I can’t walk out and ignore what has been said. I have a baby on the way. I did this.
I fucked up. I stare down at my palms as if watching all my dreams spill through my fingers and out of my hands. My life has fallen out of my grasp and so has my control of my destiny.
I had looked into hiring security for Cal. Special ops guys who could handle a situation like this. I found a home for Amina to live in for the next few weeks while I got things situated with my brother.
Then, we were going to be free to live wherever in the world we wanted. I didn’t care where we went as long as we could be together. I even bought her a car. I had planned to give it to her when I told her the plan.
Caleb wants to marry Nicole. He’s about to be drafted. He’ll most likely be one of the first pitchers off the board. We did it. We made his dream come true.
All I had left to do was take care of my girl. I wanted to be a father to children with her. We didn’t have to get married right away, but I would have married her as soon as she was ready.
I checked out a few rings while Cal was shopping for one for Nicky. I admire his determination to make this happen. He deserves it.
I pull a hand down my face. There’s no turning back now. I’m going to be a daddy.
“Yeah, I guess we should try to work things out. How have you been feeling? Have you been to a doctor yet? Do you need anything?”
“I’m fine. I just miss you. I need some time together. I think that will make me feel a lot better.”
I nod. “We should spend some time together to talk. We have a lot to talk about.”
Kay gives me a bright smile, but I can’t find one to return. We were once best friends. There has to be a way to make this work.
CHAPTER 36
Can’t Be Real
Maribel
I flush the toilet and straighten to go wash my hands. My head is spinning. I had been so sure this was all because of my grief over my dad.
It dawned on me this morning as I was awakened out of my sleep to puke my brains out that I’m late. A trip to the store and four positive tests later, I’m positive I’m pregnant.
I don’t have any tears left to cry. I’ve lost the man I love and now I’m pregnant with his baby. I’ve been crying every day and night since I broke things off.
I’ve sent him a text or two because I miss him so much and I knew he would worry about me while I was gone. Each time he replies, my heart breaks more.
“What do I do now?” I sob as I look into the mirror.
I gasp for air and cover my mouth as I sob harder. Turning, I slide down the counter to the floor and bury my head in my knees. I know exactly when this happened.
It was that first night. We were so drunk Cam didn’t use not one condom. We were fucking for hours. I lost count of how many times he came.
I’m sure all it took was once, but there was more than enough opportunity that night for this to happen. I want to scream and throw a tantrum. Dez is sure to kill us both now.
