NOTHING WAS THE SAME

Chapter Seven; Beg For It

'I'm pregnant'

The words rang over and over in my head. I looked at her face and was instantly confused. Rhyanne had just given me one of the best feelings I had ever felt yet she looked sad about it. Didn't she want it? If she thinks I'm going to allow her to have an abortion she's fucking mad, the more I thought about it the angrier I got.

"Why do you look like that?" I said in a low tone. She looked at me and sighed

"Samson, I love you and I know you love me but you love Lershai more. I can't bring a child into the world when I'm not entirely sure you want it." She said quietly. I wanted to punch something she wanted to get rid of my child because of the love I have for Lershai.

"So you want to abort my child?" I said not looking at her. She sat in silence, that was enough for me. I kissed my teeth and picked up a pillow walking towards the door.

"I'm only going to say this once Rhyanne; Don't abort my child" I said slamming the door behind me. Fuck sake, this was supposed to be something I was happy about but the fact that she wasn't happy was affecting me. I pulled out my phone and text Lershai:

Shai I know you got a lot going on but your the first person I thought of x

She text back almost immediately

Shai xx:

What's up Sammy you seem worried? X

I sighed texting her back:

Rhyanne's pregnant, but she wants to abort it x

Again she replied instantly

Shai xx:

Whatt why?? :(

How was I supposed to answer that? I guess I'll just tell her the truth:

Cos she thinks that my love for you over powers my feelings for her, but she's giving me my first child I can't thank her enough for that x

I had to make things right with her, there was no way I was going to let her get rid of my child.

Shai xx:

Samson do whatever you have to do to fix this, if you don't I'll never forgive you. I like Rhyanne and I don't want her to think I'm encouraging you! Fix it she loves you and I want a Godchild x

I couldn't help but smile, she was right. Lershai will always be my first love but that doesn't mean she will be my only one. I went back into the room and sat next to her.

"Rhyanne listen, what you just told me has made me the happiest man in the world. I beg you please don't abort my child, I'll even cut ties with Lershai if I have to" I said the last bit leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

"I won't , I wasn't going to anyway I would never forgive myself. Listen I love Lershai like my younger sister I would never tell you to cut ties with her. I understand the relationship you two have even though most people don't I just want you to be true to your feelings I know Lershai will always be your first love even if you won't admit it out loud but I also know that you've got love for me to. Basically I just want us to always be honest okay" she said smiling at me. At that moment I knew just how much I loved her, her ability to understand complex things without getting angry was just a bonus . I hugged her

"So in nine months I'm going to be a daddy" I said to her. She giggled

"Actually in four months, don't be mad at me I just had a lot to think about" she said quietly. I looked at her and couldn't even feel any anger, things just made more sense now I mean she's taken to wearing baggy tops and leggings a lot and also had a weird habit of eating peanut butter and mango slices.
