Veronica

"Tell you what?" I asked confused as hell.

He just crossed his arms and looked at me. The fuck wrong with him?

"Myles, what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about your little surprise." He said, doing air quotes in the air.

"The fuck?" I scrunched my nose up. "Come on with the bullshit Myles, just tell me."

"You pregnant?" My eyes got big as hell as I just stood there.

"Huh?"

"Don't bullshit me Veronica. Are you pregnant?"

I sighed as I didn't say anything.

He nodded and leaned back on the wall. "Why yeen tell me?"

"Because." I said, sitting on the couch.

"Because?"

"Because it was something I didn't want to share at the time." I said, shrugging.

"Veronica come on n-"

"Myles, I just didn't wanna tell y'all, Ight? I didn't know what your reaction was gonna be. I already gotta deal with tell my dad that his 19 year old daughter is pregnant and I gotta tell my hot head ass brother too." I said, sitting up.

He came and sat beside me.

"Out of all those people you know that I gotcha no matter what bullshit come through." He said, wrapping him arm around me. "I gotcha, Imma handle Algee because dad ain't really gonna have a reaction that bad." He said, shrugging.

"Ight, bro. I guess I gotta gone get this shit over with."

"Aye, let me borrow yo key." I said, holding my hand out.

"Nigga, ma and dad gave you a key, where yours at?"

"I lost mine not too long ago, just give me ya damn key." I said, snatching the key out of Myles's hand.

"Hoe." He jumped at me as I stale faced him.

I unlocked the door and walked in to see ma cooking.

"We came right on time." Myles whispered.

"On God." I whispered back. "Hey mommyyyy." I said, dragging the "y" as I hugged her.

"Hey extra." She said, shaking her head. "Hey Myles."

"Hey ma." Myles hugged her and I just stood there with my mouth open.

"He gets 'hey Myles' but I get 'Hey extra'?" I asked.

"Yep." She said, smiling.

"Mhmm." I said rolling my eyes playfully. "Where's dad?"

"He upstairs. Aubrey!"

"Yes sir?" He said, coming down stairs, thumbing ma on her forehead.

"V, here's your other mother." She said, glaring at him as he chuckled.
