Unconditional

Chapter 11

•Kim•

Time way surely flying. It was now almost the end of February. I'm almost 5 months pregnant and I have a little baby bump. So far so good. My morning sickness is starting to subside and I can keep my food down now. My nephew Jayden can't keep his hands off of my stomach. I kept him more often on the weekends because he always wanted to be up under me, but I didn't mind.

Brandi was huge. Her baby shower was tomorrow actually. She was eight in a half months pregnant, she had 2 weeks left until her baby girl got here. She was excited but she cried a lot about her size and everytime she was around me I would cry too.

Chris is damn near antisocial to anyone outside of his mother, father, me, and Brandi. I told him he should've been chilling with his boys before the babies came. Especially since we found out that I was pregnant with twins. Yup, so he has three on the way.

"Chris, why don't you go out with Kareem and them for a few? Ya'll haven't been together since you found out that I was pregnant." I asked him while sweeping the kitchen floor.

"I have to finish up cooking for Brandi's baby shower," he said grabbing the broom from me and continuing my task.

"No," I simply responded, snatching the broom back from him, "I'll finish the cooking. And the cleaning. I'm not handicapped. I really need for you to go out and enjoy yourself."

"It's 8;00 at night."

"So go out. Have some fun. Just don't get drunk."

He looked hesitant, so I grabbed my cell phone and called Kareem.

""Wassup Kim?" he asked me.

"What yall doing tonight?"

"Shit just chillin, watching the game. Why wassup?"

"Can you come get Chris?"

"I'm not going anywhere," Chris interrupted.

"Shut up, yes you are," I scolded him.

"Yeah I'll come get him," Kareem laughed, "what you getting tired of him?"

"Something like that, just come get him."

"Iight, I'll be there in like ten."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome." When I hung up Chris huffed.

"What Chris? Why you always wanna be here with me all the time? You acting like you gonna miss something. You did a 180 because a year ago, shit not even a year ago you wouldn't have wanted no baby."

"Didn't you want me to change?"

"It's not about what I want? What do you want? Who did you change for? You or me?"

"I changed for me, to have you."

I hated when he did shit like that. Saying shit like this made me feel like the bad guy for shooting him down all the time but he had some shit to prove.

I took a deep breath, "Kareem should be here any minute," I said to him

•Chris•

I hate it when she always avoided me. I waited outside on the porch until I saw Kareem pull up. I hoped in the car and stayed silent up until Kareem asked me why I'm always up under Kim.

"Does it matter? I'm in this car going to your crib right now ain't I?"

"I'm just saying bro, staying up under her ain't gonna make her change her mind. She kinda got a one track mind so she only focusing on her and that baby. You look rough for what reason? What progress have you made sitting in her face?"
