That's The Way Love Goes

Enlighten Me With The Truth

DWAYNE'S P.O.V

"Are you gonna be ok man?" Tyrese asked me as I wiped my face with my hands.
"Nah." I simply said as I began to head for the door but Vin pulled me back.
"Hey why don't you come stay at my house for the night." He suggested.
"Why?" I asked.
"Why? Well because you just found out that you actually did sleep with that girl and there's a good chance that she is having your first child-" I quickly snapped my head at him and he had realized what he said. "I'm sorry, I didn't-" he sighed to himself. "There's a good chance that she is having your child, and to make things worst she sent pictures to Janet and now you've lost her too, you're pretty heated and I don't need to be bailing you out of jail tonight."

"So I think it'll be best that you spend the night at my house."
"Ok, just let me go get a few things."
"Alright we'll go up with you."

We walked into the house and I saw her sitting there on the couch. She stood up when she saw me.
"Where did you go?" She asked.
"Don't fucking question me, you don't run shit around here." I yelled.
"Will you stop yelling and cursing at me, it's not good for the baby." I ran my hand down my face and sighed to myself.

"Why did you send those pictures to Janet?" I questioned looking at her.
"I-" she started but then stopped. "Do you guys mind?" She said looking at Vin and Tyrese who stood behind me.
"Yes we do, the fuck you think this is?" Tyrese rhetorically asked. "You done messed with Janet this involves us now." She rolled her eyes and looked back at me.
"Everyone kept questioning if we had sex or not and I thought it was time give her an answer." She said with a smirk on her face.
"Are you crazy?"
"Just crazy in love with you baby."

"You know what, Dwayne lets just get your stuff and go." Vin said pulling me away.

~~A Week Later~~

It's been a week since the altercation at my house. Today is Wednesday and I was on my way to pick up Lisa from the house so that I could take her to her doctor's appointment. Sitting here in the car I realized that I haven't exactly thought about what I'm going to do if the baby is mine. It's hard not to think about how Janet would feel or what she would think when it comes to me making decisions on my own because I'm so used to having her by my side.

I pulled out my phone and was about to call her again but I was interrupted when the door opened and Lisa sat down closing it after and began to put on her seat belt.
"Hey, are you ready to see our baby?" She asked looking up at me.
"How do I know it's mine." I said starting up the car and pulling off.
"Dwayne, baby we had sex, that's how it works."
"Stop calling me that ok, we are not together. I don't know what's going on in your head, but it's not gonna happen."
"So you're just gonna leave us?" She looked over at me.

"If that is my child he or she is not gonna grow up without a father, you and I being together was never apart of the deal, I am engaged to Janet and we may be struggling right now but we'll get through it." I said griping the steering wheel a little tighter. I could feel her burning a hole in the side of my face but then she turned and looked out the window, from that point on the rest of the ride was quite.

I pulled into the parking lot and we hopped out of the car. I was going to open her door but she did it herself, I shrugged my shoulders and trailed behind her as we entered the building. We walked up to the front desk and she told the lady her name, and we sat down. This was a private doctor, mostly only celebrities and rich people come here so I didn't have to worry about hiding my face from any one. As soon as we sat down she turned to me and smiled.
