For The Cash

One month later...

"Is he being aggressive with you?" Joyce asked as she looked me in my eyes

"If we argue, I try to avoid it though. He isn't really cheerful or in a good mood unless he's around Mariah. He be being rude to me for no reason, I'm just trying to be there for him" I mumbled holding all my tears in

"Just be there for him. He needs you, his dad did leave us when he was young but it's still hard for him. He's always loved his father he just never forgave him. I think he's starting to regret it now" she said as she held my hand

"I know that bu-"

"Yo lets go. Hurry up!" He said as he walked in the kitchen

"Okay all be out in 5 minutes" I replied

"Nah now. I got shit to do!" He snapped

I sighed. I stood up and gave Joyce a side hug. She rubbed my belly and kissed my cheek.

"Don't worry I promise this is temporary" she said as she let me go

I nodded. I walked out the kitchen and said bye to everybody.

"You ain't making shit to eat?" Amir asked me as he got off the bed

"No my feet hurt, and I'm tired" I mumbled

"Well I'm hungry and so is Mariah" he said as he stretched

"Well I'm not cooking" I replied

He nodded. I sighed as he walked out the room. I then heard the front door slam. Two weeks ago Amir's dad passed away from a heart attack. Ever sense he's been treating me like shit. He barely talks to his mom or sub kings he keeps his distance from everybody. But he keeps his distance from me the most.

At the funeral I tried to comfort him and make sure he was okay. But he continued to push me away and ever since things only got worse. He doesn't touch me, kiss me nor compliment me. He hasn't came to my last two appointments.

He basically only shows love to Mariah. It's hard for me to sit down and watch him hug her and play with her. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong I'm trying to stay by his side and be there for him but it's hard when he continues to push me away.

I waddled downstairs where I seen Mariah and Amir at the table eating Chinese food. I walked over to the kitchen counter and I seen the two containers in the garbage.

"Where's the food?" I asked as I opened the fridge

"Why you mean?" He asked confused

"You didn't get me nun?" I asked

"No. You ain't ask" he replied stuffing his face

"I'm your pregnant girlfriend I shouldn't half to ask Amir!" I snapped

"Who the fuck you talking to. You better watch yo tone, fuck you think this is!" he semi-yelled as he stood up and got in my face

I looked him in his eyes as he held my arm tightly. My eyes begun to water up so I looked away.

"Not right now, please our daughter is right there" I mumbled as he stared down at me

He let me go aggressively walking out of the kitchen. I sighed and quickly wiped a tear that had fell.

"Mommy why you crying. You can have some of my food mommy" Mariah said as she smiled at me

I smiled. "Mommy's Okay, don't worry baby" I said as I helped her outta her chair
