"Did you talk to Darnell?" Mercy asked King as she seasoned the chicken. King was staying the night at Mercy's house. Tomorrow was the probate court hearing. 

"Yeah I talked to him. He said he doesn't really care. Mya is in the past and Akiya is his future." Mercy nodded and continued to sprinkle seasonings over the food. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Mercy side eyed him and squinted her eyes. "If it's about the baby you want me to have, that conversation is going to have to wait for another 4 years" King threw his head back and slammed his fist onto the wall of the kitchen. 

"DAMMIT Mercy! Stop being fucking stubborn! We need to compromise and negotiate! That's what a relationship is about."

Mercy was the least bit of scared. She put down her seasonings and looked into the living room to look at the kids. Both of them were unbothered as they were watching Mulan. Marjae picked out the movie. Mercy bought both of them beanbag chairs so they can sit in. Zion was talking in baby language about the movie to Marjae, but she wasn't paying him any attention. 

Mercy washed her hands and put the seasoned chicken into the oven. She grabbed King's arm roughly and pulled him upstairs. They both went into her bedroom and she locked the door. 

"You want to talk? Let's talk. Allow me to go first. Don't you ever raise your voice at me in my house, like you done gone bananas. Do you understand me? It's my body, my fucking decision. Your life won't be affected at all, mines will. I'll be the one taking a maternity leave, not you. My body will change, not yours. I'll be on bed rest, not you. I won't be able to work like normal, not you. So you need to stop being selfish, and think of me. We already have a child! EACH! Right now is not the time to even consider that." Mercy calmed down and took a few steps away from him. 

She went over to her bed and sat down and folded her arms. "You may speak now"

King walked closer to her and she could tell that he was highly upset with her. A vein was popping on his forehead, his jaw was clenched, and his fists were balled up. He was hovering over her, which sort of intimidated Mercy. She looked away from him, but he grabbed her chin and pulled her face to face him. 

"I'm fucking tired of you talking to me like I'm a fucking child. Do you understand me? I'm not your little brother, I'm your fucking man. Don't ever disrespect me like that again. I understand what will happen to you, and I'm willing to help you with that along the way. We don't have to have a baby right away, but I'm not waiting four years. And if you don't want to compromise, then I don't know what the hell we're doing together." He let go of her face and walked out of the bedroom, leaving Mercy confused. 

Did he just break up with me? Mercy thought.
