Page 26 of Another Night With Me

“My boyfriend, yes. We’re both concerned about our baby.”

I cut my eyes over to Maddie’s dumb ass. I made a note to check her ass about that boyfriend shit when we got done.

“Well, Ms.Maddie, the baby is going to be okay. However, with the two previous abortions you’ve had, it weakened the lining of your uterus.”

“One abortion. You said two,” I scowled deeply, looking back at the doctor.

“Um… no. Her medical charts indicated two abortions. What I was saying with the lining of your uterus being weak, I’m afraid I’m going to have to place you on bed rest for the remainder of your pregnancy. No lifting anything over five pounds. I need you to keep your stress levels to a minimum.”

“Aye, Maddie, what the fuck this bitch talking about?” I gave Maddie a cold stare.

“Niko, I was gonna tell you.”

“Tell me what, Maddison?” I bitterly chuckled. It was taking everything in me not to go off right now.

“We can talk about this later,” Maddie pleaded with tears in her eyes.

“Maddie, if you don’t open yo’ mutha fuckin’ mouth.”

Maddie stared off in space for a good five minutes before she opened her mouth.

“I didn’t have a miscarriage when you were locked up. I found out you were sneaking with Daisy, so I had an abortion.”

I couldn’t say shit to Maddie. I was so fucking heated. I left the hospital room, ignoring Maddie’s pleas for me to come back. If she knew what was best for her, she’d want me to leave. I dead ass wanted to kill her. This bitch had a nigga fooled. I’m thinking I had a bitch that had my back when in reality, she was a sneaky combing bitch that was really killing my seeds for sport. If I didn’t hate Maddie’s ass before, I did now. If it wasn’t for her carrying my seed now, she wouldn’t make it through another week. I was so fucking mad, I couldn’t think straight. I had to get my mind right before I crashed the fuck out.

A Couple Days Later

Niko didn’t know me very well, and it showed in his actions. That’s why me and my baby got ghost on his ass again. The nigga had the right one if he thought he was finna make a habit out of leaving me or my daughter hanging. I was heated when he never showed for my doctor’s appointment. He basically begged me to come to the fucking appointment in the first place. You would think after all the shit talking Niko had done about wanting to be a part of this pregnancy, he’d make more of an effort to show up. I really didn’t care for Niko to come to my appointments. I’d made it through them this long without him being here, I could last another few weeks on my own. I tried to explain to Niko all I expected from him was to take care of our daughter but he wasn’t trying to hear me. He wanted insisted that he be present for the rest of my pregnancy. Niko had it in his demnted head that since our daughter was growing in my bell he had to be around me. I didn’t see it that way and I tried to make him understand how him pushing his way into my everyday life could send mixed signals between us. Again, Niko paid me no mind, he claimed he wasn’t missing anymore of his daughters.

Which is why I took it so personally that he had the audacity to text me , not call, at the last minute telling me he’d meet me at my appointment. Then have the balls to not show up, answer my calls, or respond to my text messages. Yeah, he had me fucked up to the highest degree of being fucked up. That’s why instead of going to my doctor's appointment, I rescheduled it for the following Monday and hired last minute movers to start moving my shit into my new house. Where I’d comfortably had my feet kicked up ignoring his calls. Niko was pissed, and I didn’t give a flying fuck. Eventually, I’d have to face the nigga, but it would be on my time.

Who is this? I frowned at the unknown number rolling across my screen. I debated not answering it. I figured it might have been Niko, trying to catch me off guard. Fuck it, I could piss him off some more.

“Hello, who is this?” I answered in a rude tone.

“Damn, who pissed you off?” I rolled my eyes hearing the familiar voice coming through my phone.

I smacked my lips as I asked. “Will? The hell you calling me for?”

“I’m tryna figure out why you acting like you hate a nigga? I ain’t even do shit to you. You ghosted me.” I don’t know what it was, but Will sounded like a big ass baby whining in my ear.

“Well, you should take a hint.” I sighed, rolling my eyes.

“Since when is it like that between us? You acting like you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you, Will.” I’m pregnant with your brother's baby, is what I wanted to tell him, but I kept my mouth shut.

I mean… I didn’t dislike or hate Will, I honestly felt no type of way towards him. Our relationship had fizzled out long before he fucked my cousin or Niko came along. Was I kind of salty because he fucked her? Kind of, but it was more so an ego thing. Reflecting back on our situation, I should have stopped dealing with Will years ago. He never did it for me. He was just convenient for me because of my work schedule, and he didn’t complain too much. Will just wanted a little bit of my time, and he was happy. We both were wasting each other's time in the long run. Our time together should have been a few months, nothing more.

“Then, what I do wrong?” Will asked, sounding clueless, and I had to look at my phone to see if he was being serious.

“I mean, you fucked my cousin for starters,” I sarcastically replied.

“Fuck that bitch. She fed me some bullshit, and I had a moment of weakness. I want you and not her.” Will tried to sound convincing, but I wasn’t going. There was no real sincerity in his voice.
