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.
"Have you been thinking about names like I have, I'm so excited." She said smiling and happy. What the hell. I thought to myself. I was so confused just a minute ago she was upset, slamming car doors and not talking at all, now she's all up in my face smiling. I don't remember Janet being like this when she was in the early stages of being pregnant, sure she had her mood swings, but this girl was switching personalities.
"Lisa Sheridan." The nurse called pulling me out of my thoughts. We stood up and followed behind her as she led us into the examination room. Being in this room reminded me of when Janet and I first went to her doctor, only then I was excited then and I wanted her to be pregnant. I most defiantly can't say the same for this time around. It surprises me how so much has changed since then. After the nurse was done doing the regular check up she told us that the doctor would with us in a few, so we sat and waited in silence.
"So do you want a boy or a girl? Well of course you want your son cause you'll get to have your guy time and teach him everything." She spoke interrupting the silence.
"I already had my son." I blatantly said.
"I know and I'm sorry but he's not here right now and you can't punish you other child because of the loss of another." She said getting angry. I was about to say something but the door opened and the doctor walked in.
"Hello hello, how are we doing today?" She said with a smile.
"We're great." Lisa said giving her a smile. It was like a switch was being flipped on and off in her head.
"That's good, let's get started shall we. Can you pull your shirt up and lay back for me." She gestured towards Lisa, and she did as told.
"Oo that cold." Lisa said as the doctor squeezed the gel on her stomach.
"Yea sorry about that." She walked over and flipped the lights off. "Ok here we go." She said walking back over to the machine. I stood up and walked over to the head of the bed so that I could see the monitor.
She turned on the monitor and picked up the little stick thing and started rubbing it over her stomach.
"Ok I have a few questions, first is the baby ok you know does everything check out good health wise-" I started.
"Mr. Johnson-" She spoke cutting me off but I continued to ramble on.
"How far along is she, cause if it's about a month and a half, two months then there's a possibility that it's mine right. Is it possible to do a DNA test while the baby is still in her stomach?"
"Mr. Johnson." She spoke a little louder making me stop. "There is no baby."
"I'm sorry what?" I asked.
"What are you talking about?" Lisa asked.
"There is no baby, not that I can see one on this monitor, I can't see a fetus anywhere." She explained.
"Maybe it's just small and you just can't see it on that black and white thing." Lisa said sitting up.
"Ms. Sheridan even if the baby was just a few weeks we would still be able to see the egg, but there is none."
"I took a pregnancy test, it came out positive!" Lisa said looking up at me then back to the doctor.
"It could have been defective, it may have even expired." She said as she got up and turned the lights on.
"I'm very sorry."
"No no there has to be a mistake, what about my morning sickness and me being tired all the time?" Lisa questioned.
"Well what you're saying to me sounds like more of a mental state of being pregnant. You want to be pregnant so bad that your body starts to mimic the symptoms of a real pregnancy. Something like this doesn't normally happen but it is possible." She explained. All while they were having this conversation I just stood there silent as my mind raced.
"Mr. Johnson?" She called pulling me out of my thoughts, making me look up at her. "What would you like me to do?" She asked.
"Nothing, thank you so much doctor but I think we should go. I'll handle it from here." I said. She nodded her head at me before leaving the room.
"Dwayne I-" I raised my hand cutting her off.
"I don't want to hear shit come out of you mouth right now, get ya ass up and let's go." I'm not sure if it was the tone of my voice or the steam coming out of my ears, but she quickly sat up taking the paper towel to wipe the gel off her stomach, pulled her shirt down and grabbed her purse.
