SHE

|seven|

"Are you excited for the new house?" Darnell asked as he drove the U-Haul truck to Mercy's new house. Marjae was with Selena and Adrian. Selena knew that Mercy had some moving to do and she didn't want Marjae to get in the way, so she took her for the weekend.

All the furniture in the house is there and is set up in the rooms. Mercy was beyond excited. She was anxious and happy at the same time. She finally has her own place! Not a little apartment either, an actual house. A house where she plans on raising a family in. She knows that at some point she will have to move because she might have another child in the future.

"Hell yeah I'm excited!" Mercy yelled. Darnell looked at his best friend and shook his head. She is still the same person, and that's what he loves about her. Even after everything that happened, all the wrong that she's been through, she remained sane. She remained the same Mercy. And he admires her for that.

Not a lot of people can take that kind of pain.

They both pulled up in the driveway of the house. The furniture guys were just leaving as they pulled up at the house. Mercy got out and the main furniture guy wanted to speak with her. He told her what he put in what room. He put the queen size bed set in the bigger room, the twin size bed in one room, and the crib in the other room.

Mercy knew that Zion would be sleeping with her, but she got him the bed anyways. Most likely, Marjae and Zion would be sleeping with her. Marjae would go back in her room once she was comfortable with the house and her room.

As they were talking, Darnell opened the back of the U-Haul truck. He looked at all the boxes and realized how much stuff he had to take in the house. Darnell just grabbed the first couple boxes that read Marjae and went in the house.

About 2 hours later, all the boxes were in the rooms they belonged in and the kitchen stuff was unpacked. Darnell drove the U-Haul truck to his house so he could pick up Mercy's car. They returned the truck back to the U-Haul rental store and Mercy drove Darnell back home.

When Mercy got home she saw King's car in her driveway. She totally forgot that she invited him over. Well she didn't really invite him over, he wanted to help her unpack and spend some time with her.

She pulled up next to him and opened the garage with the remote she had in her car. She pulled in the garage and King pulled in next to her. Both of them got out and gave each other a kiss and headed in the house through the garage door.

The alarm sounded off in the house and Mercy turned it off with the remote on her key chain. "Where do you wanna start, baby girl?" King asked Mercy.

Mercy made her thinking face and decided on where she wanted to start. "Let's start downstairs. Help me take the plastic off this furniture and rearrange the living room."

"You still have this chest?" King asked as he ran his finger across the clean chest. Mercy always dusted it off, she didn't want the only memories she had of her mother getting dirty.

"Yes I still have the chest. Leave that alone and come help me make this damn bed boy" Mercy said as she struggled with the large sheet for her bed. King walked over and helped her finish making the bed.

"Baby" King said to get Mercy's attention. It was now 11 PM and they were still unpacking. Mercy wanted to get everything done with today, she didn't want to prolong it and have to keep unpacking.

"Yes?" Mercy said as she took her clothes out of her boxes and put them either in her closet or her dresser that had a large mirror connected to it.

"Do you ever think we'll have a baby together?" King asked. That question really caught Mercy's attention. She stopped with her clothes and turned around to look at him. She slowly walked over to him and straddled his lap.

"If-- When we make it that far, of course I think we will have a baby. When we do make it that far, I would want to get married first, then have a baby. I already have one child out of wedlock, I don't want two. Why? You want a baby?"

"Yeah I do. I understand we already got Zion and Marjae, but I want my own now" Mercy understood where he was coming from.

"Well at some point yes, I will give you a child. But right now, I don't want you taking on Zion and Marjae. They're my responsibility" That's one thing that Mercy forgot to mention in the car when they officially became a couple. She didn't want him to feel as though he had to become a father now that they're together.

"No Mercy. You and I are together now. You're mines and I'm yours. What's yours is mine and vice versa. I knew what I was getting into when I got into it. I don't care Mercy. I want to be a father, I want to be a husband, I want all of this. I want a family. I want a family with you. Do you understand that?"

"Yes baby I understand that, but--" King put his index finger to her mouth to stop her from talking.

"If you understand then be quiet. Come on let's finish unpacking these clothes so we can go to sleep"

Mercy sighed because King wasn't going to let this go. He wanted to be Marjae and Zion's father. Marjae she can sort of understand, since her father was dead. But Zion, she doesn't really know about. His father might come back, it's highly doubtful since he denied the baby, but still.

You never know.
