"Y'all decided what y'all wanna eat yet?" My dad asked.

"Shrimp pasta." I said.

"Order whatever y'all want." He said.

"Well how did y'all like my graduation speech?"

"I think it was well said Yaya." My aunt Jazz said.

"Yeah Yaya it was good." Jatavia said.

"It was wonderful baby, very articulate and thoughtful." My mom said.

"Daddy.." I said smiling.

"It was alright Yanyria."

"I just don't think you should've announced your pregnancy in front of everyone like that I just don't think that was appropriate timing."

My auntie Jazz sighed.

"Why cause some of your colleagues were there?"

Jatavia coughed.

"You ashamed of me being pregnant huh Daddy?"

The table became silent.

"Yanyria that's enough we're here to celebrate you graduating." He said.

"No, I'm not going to stop speaking my mind dad.. are you even really proud of me like you say you are?"

"Of course I'm proud you Yanyria."

"You're not acting like you are." "I announced something I got tired of hiding because I was so afraid I would be judged by everyone daddy especially you."

"And that's what you're doing now.. judging me."

"I love you Yanyria and I just want what's best for my daughter."

"Well daddy I know what's best for me."

"Getting pregnant at sixteen is best for you?"

"Daddy my baby gonna be well taken care of."

"With dope money." He said.

"Jared cmon now the child graduated school and she has scholarships for college." My aunt said.

"Jazmine this between my child and I."

"Well Jared the whole table hear it so." She said.

"Thank you." My mama said.

"And can we just celebrate this moment please Jared for our daughter?"

"Please." I said.

Dayvon walked in the restaurant.

"Hold on." I said.

"I told you I was planning sum for us later on ma I wanted you to spend time with cho folks."

"I know, but I wanted you to come eat with me anyway." "We might as well all celebrate together."

"Aight, yo dad bet not be trippin and shit gang."

"He not just be on your best behavior." I said pulling him.

I walked to the table with Dayvon.

"Oouu shit." Jatavia said.

"I might need to get a stronger drink Yvette."
My auntie Jazz muttered.

"Dad, mama, family, this is Dayvon my boyfriend."

"Hey how you doing Dayvon?" My mom asked.

"Hello Dayvon." My aunt said.

"Hey Dayvon." Jatavia said awkwardly.
