Excuse any mistakes!

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" I scrunched up my face.

"I'm pregnant."

"Why was he upset about that? He should be happy?"

"He doesn't want kids. He set up for me to get an abortion and took me. When I got there I couldn't kill my baby. The nurse asked me why I wanted an abortion, so I spilled everything. I stayed in the room for three hours and helped me get papers as if I got the procedure."

"How long ago was this?"

"4 months ago." She cried. "He tried kicking me in my stomach several times but I protected her, Luna. I really did, I fought back this time."

"I know." I put her into a tight hug. I regret being so harsh to her. She didn't deserve any of it. We stood there hugging for the longest. I didn't want to let her go until she was ready. I wanted to know her to know she was safe now.

"Thank you."

"No problem, let's get you cleaned up." I took her hand going to my bathroom. I had her take a seat on the toilet as I squatted down looking for my first aid kit. Once I found it, I sat in front of her and began cleaning her face. She had a busted lip, bloody nose, and a black eye. He really did a number one her.

"That stings." She hissed.

"Sorry." I mumbled. "You didn't get any of my clothes."

She shook her head. "He wouldn't let me. I climbed out of the window when I asked to use the restroom."

"Did you hurt your stomach? Are you in any pain? I'll take you to the hospital."

"No, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" I asked for clarification.

"Yes."

"All done." I stood up. "I'll get you some clothes and stuff for you to take a shower."

I headed to my closet grabbing one of my dad's big shirts and a pair of my biker shorts. I went back into the bathroom seeing her with her shirt off.

"How the hell could you hide this?"

She shrugged. "Big clothes."

"Here you go. You can leave your dirty clothes on the cabinet and I'll wash them for you."

She nodded with a slight smile. I took a deep breath walking out leaving her. I laid back on my bed not believing all that has happened in the past 24 hours. I never thought things were bad for her. I'm glad I can finally help her though. I guess I dozed off because I felt light tapping on my leg causing me to quickly sit up rubbing my eyes.

"I'm finished."

"Okay, you sleepy or hungry?"

"I could eat."

"I'll meet you in the kitchen." I went to the bathroom to freshen up. Once I was done I walked into the kitchen. "What do you like?"

"I'll eat anything."

I chuckled. "Really?"

"She wants it. I'll eat a whole house and she still won't be satisfied."

"So, it's a girl?" I washed my hands then pulled out the pancake mix, potatoes, and turkey bacon. I didn't have anymore eggs, so that was out of the equation.

"I don't know for sure but I feel it."

"Then you're right."

"I can help you if you want."

"I'm okay, are you thirsty?" She nodded and I pulled out one of my favorite mugs that had a sunflower on the front of it. I poured orange juice in it giving it to her.

"Thank you." She leaned against the counter watching me.

"What's his name?" I asked mixing the pancake mix. I cut up cut the potatoes and seasoned them. I then cut on the stove placing the bacon on the pan letting them cook.

"Julian."

"How do you feel about him as of now?"

"I don't want to be with him but I do want him to be there for our child. He needs to step up and be a man."

"What if he can't, then what?"

"I wish him nothing but the best."

"You want that type of person around your child? I mean he's obviously psycho if he tried killing the baby."

"I know deep down he's a good person. It's just the liquor that makes him the act that way."

"You're better than me. Are you sure you don't want him?"

"Positive."

I hummed. "Okay."

I was asking all of these questions for a reason. Julian finally met his match. I just needed to know if I should kill him or just hurt him a little.

I exited my car jogging by the closest window. All the lights were on in the house. From my view, I couldn't see anybody but 2 cars were in my driveway, so I knew he was here.

I made my way to the back of the house finding the back door. He had the same door as my uncles, so it was easy for me to break into to. Once I was inside I gently closed the door making my way through the house.

I could hear faint noises coming from upstairs as I got closer. I stopped my movement hearing it becomes quiet for a second. The door where the noise was coming from the closed. Slowly turning the knob I opened the door.

I would be lying if I said I couldn't believe what I was seeing but I could. Lilo already warned me what kind of guy he was. They still didn't see me standing in the doorway.

"Ooooh, daddy." Some girl moaned as he hit from the back.

I shook my head bending down to their level close by his ear.

"Boo!" His eyes flew open as the girl screamed falling off the bed.

He sucked his teeth. "Man, what the fuck are you doing here? Y'all bitches fucking now?"

"She told me you were funny. I just didn't believe it until now." I turned to the girl. "How old are you?"

"16." She mumbled quietly.

"Do you know how old he is?" When she didn't answer I couldn't hear her. "Speak the fuck up!"

"He's 28."

"Oh! So, you know. I bet you have loving parents at home right now probably worried about your whereabouts. But here you are fucking this dirty ass nigga unprotected. Since you know everything, did you know he had Aids?"

"WHAT?!" She screamed and started crying.

"No time for the dramatics." I dragged my knife across her face. "I want you to get in your car and drive away. I've already taken down your license plate, so when I come to visit you in a couple of days, you better be on your shit. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Your pussy will be burning in a couple of hours. You might wanna go take care of that. Bye." I waved watching her run out of the room.

"I don't have Aids."

"She doesn't know that. Hell, you might if you fucking bitches raw. Now, I don't hear all that shit you were talking."

He swallowed hard not saying anything. I strutted over to him slowly. I thought about shooting him but that would be too quick. I want him to feel this pain of my knife going in and out of him slowly. I took the knife embedding it, into his hand. He screamed in pain which was music to my ears. I wanted him to feel everything Lilo felt. Digger the knife deeper, I pulled it out and did the same to his other hand.

"Please, stop! Tell her I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"You won't get the chance to do it again." I lifted my foot kicking him in the head with my heel. He knocked out making me smile in satisfaction. I wanted to end his life but Lilo wanted to be alive. A child shouldn't have to grow up without a father.

I called one of my boys to from the cleanup crew to drop his body off at the hospital before he bleeds out. I searched the rooms looking for all of Lilo's things. Once I found them I headed back to my condo. Lilo was sitting on the couch. I sat her things down joining her.

"He let you get all of my stuff?"

I smirked. "Surprisingly, yes."
