I hop out my Roll Royce closing the door

I hop out my Roll Royce closing the door. My 7 month old stomach was poking out. I didn't want to go anywhere today. Just stay home and watch some movies. Even while pregnant, I'm still on the move like I was when I was a crackhead. I try not to think about myself being on drugs ever again. Even when I'm ready to give birth, I don't want no medication.

I walk in the office of the shelter where Jerome said he will be at. If his ass lied to me, I'm going to kill him. Nobody wasn't in the office. The lady wasn't behind the desk. I didn't hear any screaming from the homeless people or addicts. It was quiet.

I made my way to the back where the cafeteria was. I open the door being surprised by the workers, my family, and Jerome family. I smiled so wide seeing everyone I know. But what for?

"What is this?"I ask.

"Your Baby Shower. Jerome planned it"my mother said with a smile. I looked at her confused cause I don't know what a baby shower is. "Honey, a Baby Shower is when the father of the baby and mother families and friends come together and celebrate. We're all happy for y'all"

I nod my head slowly smiling wide. "I didn't know that"I said so excited. "Oh my god!! This is so cute!!"

I hugged everyone that was there. They was rubbing my stomach, smiling in my face, and congratulating me for being sober. Weird. But one person wasn't here. "Where's Jerome?"I ask his mother. She shrugged her shoulders. I made my way out the door going to the front. I starred outside trying to see if his car was outside.

"Maybe it's out back" I made my way to the office we share. I open the door seeing Jerome looking at some papers. I rub my stomach sighing heavily.

"Oh god!"Jerome jumped in his chair. I giggle a bit at his goofy ass. "Babe. I didn't know you was here"

"I been here and I saw the surprise baby shower in the cafeteria"I smiled. "Why you in here?"I ask.

"Some shit came up"he mumble. "Remember the lady who was enrolled in here yesterday morning"

"Yeah. How could I forget. She was a prostitute and a drug addict"I said.

"Yeah. But this morning, someone came and picked her up"Jerome said. "I just don't understand why she left"

"Did you call Thomas and told him to do a bounty search for her"I said.

"We can't. Someone checked her out this morning"he shook his head.

"How about this, lets solve this shit tomorrow morning. Right now we have to celebrate"I grab his hand leading him out the office. He smiled then kiss my lips passionately.

"I love you genesis"he said.

"I love you too"
