The Promises He Made

^Chapter 56^

A/N: Honestly thinking about deleting this story.

Chanelle's p.o.v

After sending all of my family a message late last night I waited for each of them to arrive at my house the next morning. I told them how I had to discuss something urgent with them all as soon as possible. And they each replied with a text stating they'd be here soon.

I set up a huge breakfast for everyone to feast on as I delivered the news.

I was nervous to tell them about the pregnancy, but at the same time I was excited. This pregnancy was gonna be different because I would actually have support from the father. I hope they'll all see that.

"Chanelle, what the hell is so important that I had to drive all the way over here at eight o'clock in the morning? You ain't bleedin, bitch so what's the reason?" Tamia asks rubbing her eyes as she entered the house.

"I can't tell you yet. I'm waiting on my mama nem. I have something to tell yall." I state pacing the room.

"What is it?" She asks wide awake now.

"Wait, damnit!" I shout just as Dayvon walked through the door with the twins in each hand.

"What's wrong?" Dayvon asks panting as he set the twins tired bodies on the couch.

"Nothing's wrong. I just need to tell all of you guys something."

"What's up?" He asks as Da'kin, Chanay, and my mom walk in.

"You guys have to wait. I'm not saying anything yet." I state annoyed.

"Well who are we waiting for?" Tamia asks annoyed just as a knock occurred at the door.

"Come on in!" I call ignoring Tamia's question.

All eyes fell on Hakeem as he walked into the living room. Da'kin quickly stood up ready to charge for Hakeem, but I pulled his arm and directed his attention to the twins, who were watching quietly, preventing him from doing so.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Hakeem apologized as he walked over to me and hugged me tightly.

"It's fine you're here now and that's what matters." I give him a forced smile.

After everyone sat down and started eating, I stood to my feet before clapping my hands together.

"Listen now that everyone's here, I'm just gonna come out and say it..... I'm pregnant." I state glancing at everyone's faces.

Everyone in the room had a surprised look on their faces. Except for Hakeem. His expression seemed to be one of sadness, anger, frustration, and disappointment all in one. I don't know. I couldn't tell too well.

"By who?" Da'kin asks after a few minutes of silence.

I shot him a death glare before rolling my eyes.

"Who do you think?" I ask annoyed and quite frustrated.

How dare he make me sound like some type of unloyal hoe.

"Iont know. Ol boy?" He asks unsure as he looked at me and glanced quickly in Hakeem's direction.

"If by 'ol boy' you're referring to Deandre, then yes." I state simply.

"Since when? How far are you?" Tamia asks happily as she stood to hug me.

"Well, I should be about five weeks. I found out three days ago." I state with a smile.

"Chanelle are you sure you're ready to have another baby?" My mother questions making me frown.

"Even if I wasn't, there's nothing we can do about it now." I state lowly.

"Hold up! Does Deandre know about this?" Tamia asks as she stepped away from me.

"Yes. I told him last night. And he's pretty excited." I state smiling as I looked around the room at everyone.

Hakeem kept his head down as his fist balled and leg bounced up and down rapidly.

"Well... As long as it ain't no punk ass nigga that's gon leave you behind like the last one, then I'm happy for you." Da'kin states before standing and hugging me.

"Don't do that." I say lowly to him making him shrug. 

"Mommy?" Justice asks making me look at her tired face.

"What does pregnant mean?" She asks confused.

I smile as I walk over to her and Jaheem before kneeling in front of them.

"It means mommy's gonna have another baby." I state waiting for their reactions.

Jaheem's head popped up and he looked at Justice.

"Where is it?" Jaheem asks me.

"It's in mommy's tummy." I place my hand over my stomach.

"You eated it?!" They asks simultaneously making everyone laugh.

"No. All babies have to grow inside a mommy's tummy so that it can grow and be healthy."

"How'd get there?" Jaheem asks confused.

"How it's gonna get out?" Justice asks.

"Um-" I start to trail but thankfully I was cut off.

There was loud screaming and shouting coming from outside the house. But before I could process anything being said Deandre and his bestfriend, Chicken busted through the front door and made their way into the living room. Deandre chased after Chicken and tried to stop her from moving, but she pushed him away from her.

"No! If you ain't gon tell her, then I will!" Chicken exclaimed to Deandre as she stormed away from him and over to me.

"Chanelle, yo punk ass boyfriend has been lying to you!" Chicken exclaimed making the whole room fall silent.

Oh god! What now?!
