"Can I get 2 large fries and a vanilla ice cream cone." I spoke into the McDonald's speaker.
"That'll be $5.58. First window please."
I drove around to the window and handed the woman my card. She swiped it and handed it back to me. I pulled up to the second window and the lady handed me my cone and then my fries.
I ate my ice cream as I drove home. I pulled into the driveway and cut the car off. I grabbed my fries before getting out.
I walked into the house and went into the kitchen.
"Hey ma." I smiled as she walked by.
"You have company. I told them to wait in your room."
"Who is it?" I stuffed a few fries into my mouth
She shrugged. "Some girl. She said she was in jail with you."
"And you just let her in?" I stood up from the table. "Do you know how many women didn't like me when I was locked up?!"
"She seemed nice."
I shook my head and walked down the hall. I slowly approached my room and peeped in.
I gasped loudly. "Morgan!" I screamed
"Surprise." She laughed

"Don't just stand there. Come give me a hug."
Morgan walked over and hugged me then placed her hand on my stomach.
"When did this happen?"
I sighed. "I was pregnant when I was in jail."
"Wow."
"Yea. It's crazy. When did you get out?" I sat on my bed
"Last week."
"I'm happy for you. You better stay out of trouble." I teased
"Oh trust me, I am." She smiled then sat beside me. "So....fill me in on everything."
~~~~
"Wow. So she was going to fight you?"
I took a bite of pizza and nodded. "Mhmm"
Morgan shook her head.
"She was going on and on about it. All that talking don't phase me. I was calm but if she had of touched me, it would have been a different story. Pregnant or not, aint no hoe in my blood."
"You gotta chill." She laughed
"What? I am chill." I took another bite of pizza.
I told Morgan everything that happened once I was released from jail. Everything has happened so fast.
"You picked out a name yet?"
"Nope."
"You can always name him Morgan."
I laughed "No thank you. Enough about me though. What's been going on with you?"
"Everything has been surprisingly good. I have a job working with my dad. I'm making legal money now." She laughed loudly.
"That's good. Let's keep it that way."
"But forreal. Jail was so boring without you."
"Awww." I cooed "I missed you too." I pinched her cheek.
"Aye, stop it." She swatted my hand away. "I think I'ma get going though before it gets too late."
"Ok. I'm glad you stopped by." I got up from the table
She hugged me and slipped her jacket on. "I'll be back tomorrow."
"Oh lord." I laughed
"Don't do that." She smiled
"Ok. Ok. Drive safe." I stood at the front door and watched her walk to her car.

Chris
"Wassup man." I let August in.
"It's been a while. How you been?"
"Shit been crazy." I sat in the living room
"Oh yea? What happened?"
I rubbed my hands across my face. "I'ma be a father in less than 2 months."
"Whoa. That lil shawty you got is pregnant?"
"Nah man. Not her." I shook my head
"Who?"
"Jasmine."
"My Jas? From the prison?"
I nodded
"How the fuck that happen?"
"Long story. She 7 months and it's a boy."
"Well congratulations."
"Thanks."
"Ya girl know?"
"Yea. This situation is crazy."
"I see that."
"Jasmine supposed to be coming over here in a little so we can go shopping."
"And ya girl just let her come over here freely?"
"What she run? What she pay for? She cant stop shit." I scoffed
"My bad." He laughed "I'ma get going though. I gotta work."
"Cool. I'll see you later."
I laid down on the couch and flipped through the channels on the tv.
Nicole came over and tapped my shoulder
"What?"
"Your hoe ass baby mama at the door."
"Watch your mouth. I told you she's not a hoe. I'm not going to keep repeating myself."
"Yea. Whatever." She walked away
"Lord help me." I looked up at the ceiling before walking to the front door.
"Hey." Jasmine smiled
"Hey. You ready to go?"
"Yea. I guess." She looked down
"What's wrong?"
"Those people out there taking pictures."
I looked behind her and saw several paparazzi cameras flashing. I sighed and shook my head.
"Just keep your head down and ignore anything they say. They are annoying but that comes with what I do."
She nodded and grabbed my arm. Cameras were flashing like crazy as I helped her into the car.
"Who is that Chris!"
"Is she carrying your baby?"
I ignored them and got in on the drivers side and pulled out of the driveway.
