"You not living here isn't the same Hijo",my mom said setting the table of food on the table. Jennifer and Ana was upstairs in my old room chatting it up with Khia.

"It was a long time coming mama",I told her as I helped her set the table.

"You know your father would've came around and let her spend some nights with you."

"I know but he's only part of the reason why I moved",I said not giving her the full story.

"The house is still quiet and lonely without you in it",my mom said placing the empanadas on the table.

"Not really. Jen and Ana is here and Rome and Rico is here",I said.

"I just miss you Hijo",she said sadly.

"I'll always come visit mamá",I said and kissed her on the cheek. I loved my mom so much and the thought of her being sad breaks my heart. A couple minutes later I called my cousins down for dinner and they all came ready to eat. I saw Jen and Ana and Rico and Rome but I didn't see Khia.

"Ana where's Khia?",I asked her.

"She was in the bathroom."

"Doing what?"

"Her personal business",she said smartly and laughed. I sucked my teeth at her and went upstairs to go check on Khia. I found her in the room looking all suspicious. Moment I stepped in, she hid somethin under the pillow.

"Babe food is ready",I told her.

"I know I'll be down in a minute",she said trying to brush me off so I could leave her alone. I looked at her and there was somethin she wasn't telling me.

"What's that under the pillow?",I asked her.

"It's nothing."

"If it's nothin then why you threw it up under there soon as I came in."

I walked over and grabbed whatever it was under the pillow. It was a pregnancy test.

"You pregnant?"

"I don't know yet cause your holding my results."

"If I remember correctly, one bar means negative",I said looking at the test.

"Okay",she said with a sigh and hid her face down.

"You think you pregnant?",I said sitting next to her.

"I don't know what to think. I'm late",she said in a shaking voice like she was about to cry.

"Have you been late before?"

"No I always have my period on a set schedule. Look, even the app says I'm supposed to be on it today",she said hanging me her phone. I ain't know how to read that shxt so I placed the phone on the bed.

"What if I'm pregnant? We just got this apartment and we bought a bunch of furniture now we have to save up and work twice as hard to provide for this baby. I don't even know how to take care of a baby",she said freaking out.

"Babe it's okay. If your pregnant then your pregnant, it's not a problem. We'll take care of it together",I said trying to calm her down.

"Your Dad already hates me, everyone will hate me. We're too young to have kids now, I'm gonna have to get rid of it."

"Babe you ain't killing my child. Your emotions are high right now. The pregnancy test said your not so why you trippin?"

"Cause every time we have sex, you never wrap up."

"You tell me not to, you said you want it raw",I said chuckling.

"What are we gonna do if there's a baby in me?"

"We gone keep it mi amor",I said caressing her face.

"We can't afford a baby."

"I couldn't afford you but here I am with you",I said and kissed her on the lips.

"C'mon we'll set up a doctors appointment when we get back home. Dinners ready and if you are pregnant, ima need you to feed our child",I said causing her to smile.

Deep down I was scared af if we were about to have a kid. It would be great but having a kid out of wedlock wasn't how I envisioned our lives to be.

"You knew what she was doing didn't you?",I asked Ana as we cleaned up the kitchen while everyone else was in the backyard chillin.

"Okay I knew but I didn't want you to be mad at her."

"Why would I be mad at her? That's besides the point, how many of those pregnancy tests she took?",I asked.

"She took three already but she's still not convinced that she's not pregnant."

"What the other two said?"

"They said it was negative. What would you do if it was positive?"

"Nothin. I would handle it like a man. You know she thought about terminating it?"

"Yeah she mentioned that to us too but I know she wouldn't. She was just sayin that in case you didn't wanna have it."

"I hope not. We gonna go to the doctors to find out for sure."

"I think that's a good idea for the sake of her because she's really scared right now."

We didn't get back to the apartment until after midnight so we both was tired for the day. Khia pulled out another pregnancy test out of her purse and ran to the bathroom.

"Where'd you have time to buy another one?",I told her.

She closed the door and ignored my comment. I took my shirt off and stood behind the door, ready to hear what she had to say to me.

"Babe",i called out to her.

"Be quiet, im trying to pee",she said causing me to smile. This girl was a goofball I swear.

"You want this baby huh?",I asked her.

She's didn't respond.

"It's negative",she yelled out to me. She came out from the bathroom and gave me the pregnancy test to look at. I briefly looked at it and tossed it in the trash.

"If you want a baby that bad, we can make one right now",i said teasing with her. I'm tryna make light of the situation.

"Did you mean Everything you said when we was in your room?"

"Yea babe. My parents raised me better than to just run the opposite direction."

"You'd make a great father",she told me touching the side of my face with her smooth hand.

"You'd make a great mother."
