       “Yes Ma’am,” Ant replied.

       “That’s real good because you will definitely need a job.  Shaniqua stand up,” Even though I didn’t want to stand up for my mom to put my belly on display I knew if I didn’t she would fuck me up.  Still I looked at my mom like she was crazy.

       “Girl don’t make me kick yo ass!  I said stand the fuck up!” my mom yelled. 

       I knew my mom well enough to know that when she yelled like that she meant business so I jumped off the sofa.  She came to stand next to me and picked up my shirt revealing my swollen belly to Ant whose eyes and jaw hit the floor at the same time.

       “So since you work that means you can help Shaniqua take care of this baby the two of you made while y’all was running around having sex!” my mom said.

       “Shaniqua you’re pregnant?” he asked as he stared at me.

       “Yea but I didn’t realize it until today,” I said.

       “What do you mean you didn’t realize until today?  How you ain’t know?” Ant had the nerve to tell me.

       “Well shit, ain’t like you noticed either Ant!” I said.

       “No disrespect Ma’am but when we get together Shaniqua it’s hardly for me to admire your figure.  Shit you shoulda told a nigga something!” he yelled like he was upset with me.

       “Well fuck all that coulda, woulda, shoulda shit!  What’s done is done so I need to know what you are gonna do about this baby?” my mom asked.

       Ant looked from my mom to me then back at my mom again before he stood up and said, “I’m sorry Ma’am but I gonna need a few days to process this.  I didn’t know that she was pregnant!”

       “What do you mean you need a few days?  She’s pregnant and it’s your baby, I need to know what the hell you’re gonna do about this baby!” my mom yelled.

       “I’m sorry but I can’t make a decision like this now!  I just found out she pregnant!  I need a few days!” he said and walked out.

       “Well I’ll be damned!  Is that the nigga you wanted Shaniqua?  You’re pregnant and he’s walking out because he needs a few days!  What kinda shit is that?” my mom asked.

       “I don’t know Mom.  I’m sorry this happened and I’m sorry this is messing up the plans you had for me but I love him!  You should have let me tell him on my own!” I cried.

       “You what?  What the hell do you know about love Shaniqua?  I tell you what love doesn’t walk out on you when you need it the most!” she yelled.

       “He said he needs a few days.  He’ll be back Mom and then you will see that he loves me too!” I yelled.

       “That boy doesn’t love you!  He used you as a place to store his meat and now you’re pregnant because of it!  I wanna call the police on his fuckin’ ass but if he works offshore he will have to take care of his child!  You better open your eyes lil girl and see shit for what it really is; that boy was using your ass!  You might as well get ready to put his black ass on child support!” my mom said.

       “Child support!  I don’t need to get the white people involved in this!  You will see that Ant loves me and he will take care of our baby!” I yelled back.

       “You better watch your tone of voice young lady because I am still your mother and I will knock the skin off yo fuckin’ teeth!  Try me!” she said.

       I knew my mom well enough to know she was not playing with me, but why couldn’t she just stay out of my business?  This was my life and I loved Ant, couldn’t she see that?

       “Mom don’t you want me to be happy?” I asked.

       “Happy?  Are you happy that the nigga you been giving your goodies to just walked out on your ass?  You really need to open your eyes and realize that nigga ain’t about shit!  He ain’t gonna be here for you and he sure ain’t gonna be here for that baby!” she yelled.

       “Yes he will!  You will see and I can’t wait until he proves you wrong Mom!” I said.

       “He ain’t gon prove me wrong Shaniqua!  Your “man” is an immature little punk ass nigga and he will not do shit for you or your baby!  Tomorrow we going to the doctor to see how far along yo ass is!  Now get the fuck out ma face before I smack the black off your ignorant ass!” she yelled and I ran the fuck up outta there like the devil was in ma ass.

       I jumped up off the sofa and made my way to my room, slamming my bedroom door behind me.

       “Nae don’t make me fuck you up behind my fuckin’ door!” my mom yelled.

       “Ugh she makes me sick!” I said out loud but not loud enough for her to hear me though.  I wasn’t that crazy but she was and had she heard me she would have definitely ran up on my ass.  I prayed that Ant would be there for me just to prove my mom wrong.  When you’re young you tend to see the world through rose colored glasses and I would soon discover how cruel the world really was. 

CHAPTER TWELVE- ANTOINE

      
I left Shaniqua’s house not knowing what to think or how to feel.  I couldn’t believe she was pregnant!  How the hell could she be pregnant?  I called Shine and Luke to see what they were doing because I definitely needed to chill with my niggas right now.  Luke just happened to be at Shine’s crib so I went by my friend at the corner liquor store and purchased a gallon of Grey Goose because this definitely called for some alcohol.  I was gonna be a father; I needed to drink myself into a fuckin’ coma after that news.

       I arrived and knocked on the door, walking in before they said come in.  That was just how we did shit out here.  We were brothers so I didn’t have to wait for them to say come in.  I walked in and I guess the expression I had on my face proved to be as distraught as I felt.

       “Come in Man, wassup wit you?  You look like you just saw a ghost!” Luke said.

       I walked in and went straight to his cabinet to get some glasses.  I poured us each some Goose and blurted out, “Shaniqua’s pregnant!”

       I downed the drink, poured another and repeated my actions.

       “What?  Are you serious?” Luke asked.

       “Would I joke about some shit like that?” I asked.

       I poured myself another drink as Shine asked, “How did you find out?”

       “Get this, her mom called me!” I said.

       “What the fuck?” Luke and Shine said at the same time.

       “Yea her mom called my phone from her phone.  She like “you need to get yo ass over here before I call the po po on yo black ass!” I said mimicking Shaniqua’s mom.

       “Oh snap, she threatened to call the cops on you?” Shine asked.

       “Yea I couldn’t believe that shit yo!  I felt like I was having some out of body experience.  She’s really pregnant because I saw her growing stomach,” I said taking another drink.

       My phone began to ring and I thought it was Shaniqua but I checked it anyway.  The caller ID said Megan so I picked up.

       “Hello,” I answered.

       “May I speak to Ant please?” she asked.

       “Yea waddup witcha?” I asked.

       “I was just checking to see if you wanted to chill but sounds like you having a party or something,” she said.

       “Nah not a party but I’m a lil busy though.  I’ll holla back atcha though,” I said and hung up.

       “Who was that?” Luke asked.

       “That was Megan wanting to chill,” I said.

       “And you said no?” Shine asked.

       “Man, the way I feel right now,” I said.

       All of a sudden my dick took on a life of its own and grew hard as hell.  Liquor did make a nigga horny and shit but this shit with Shaniqua. 

       “Man fuck you!  Yo ass always need a bitch when you drink!” Luke said.

       “Yea but I sho ain’t going to no bitch house, not the way I feel,” I said feeling a dizzy spell coming on.

       “You can crash here then.  I got a date anyway so I won’t be back til tomorrow,” Shine said as he got up to go get dressed.

       “Yea I got a date too Man, I’ma holla at y’all tomorrow!” Luke said.

       “You got a date?  What happened to ole girl Jessica?  Y’all break up or something?” Shine asked Luke.

       “Nah we good, but I just got a date,” he responded.

       “Oh well go date then nigga,” Shine said and we all laughed.

       I lay on the sofa and kicked up my feet.  A lot had happened in the past few hours that had me trippin’.  How can Shaniqua have gotten herself pregnant?  How could she be so selfish?  Didn’t she even once think about what I wanted?  And her mom was on some other shit for spazzin’ out at me like that!  I’m a grown ass man, she don’t know she better fuck around and ask somebody.

       I tried to make the swelling in my dick go down but it wouldn’t so I called Megan back. 

       “Hello,” she answered.

       “Hey you wanna come over and hang?” I asked.

       “I just called you like twenty minutes ago and asked you that but you blew me off!  I don’t have time for these little kid games Ant.  When you decide to grow up, gimme a call otherwise miss me with the bullshit and all that extra shit too!” she said then hung up on me.

       I called back and she answered, “What!”

       “I’m sorry about earlier.  I got some bad news and was just feeling down.  I’d really like it if you came over and hung out with me.  I just don’t feel like being alone tonight,” I said hoping she would fall for it.

       “Awww!  Do you wanna talk about it?” she asked.

       “Not really, just wanted some company but if you’re busy maybe some other time,” I said.

       “Okay, I’ll come over.  You sound so pitiful; text me the address,” she said.

       “Okay thanks,” I said.

       I hung up and texted her the address to Shine’s house and went to take a quick shower.  I used some of Shine’s deodorant, lotion and cologne to freshen up before Megan got here.  I was about to sit on the sofa when I heard a car door shut.  I poured another glass of Grey Goose, downed it and went to answer the door.

       She looked beautiful with her hair flowing and her pretty dimpled smile.  She wore a cute sundress and some nice sandals.  I invited her in, closed the door and gave her a hug.  Her body felt so soft and she smelled so good that my dick instantly sprang to life again.  She followed me into the living room where the television was playing and we sat down on the sofa.

       “Nice place,” she said.

       “Thanks,” I replied.

       “Are you okay?” she said eyeing all the glasses and the half empty bottle of liquor on the coffee table.

       “Not really but I will be,” I said putting on my most pathetic face.

       “What happened?” she asked looking concerned.

       “I don’t wanna talk about it.  I’d much rather just hold you or you hold me, whichever one works best for you,” I said.

       “Uh sorry to disappoint but I don’t know you like that!” she said.

       “I know but isn’t the purpose of you being here to get to know me?” I asked.

       “Well yea but that has nothing to do with me wrapping my arms around you or vice versa,” she said.

       “Okay, well we can just talk,” I suggested.

       As we talked for the next two hours I realized that she was a really intelligent girl, well woman since she was 23.  I told her that I was 20 and she didn’t seem to have a problem with it.  I poured myself another glass of Goose and chugged it back as she watched me.

        “Do you always drink this much?” she asked.

       “I rarely drink to be honest but as I said earlier I got some bad news so,” I explained.

       After I took that last drink my dick began to rise again.  I moved closer to Megan and put my arm on the back of the sofa behind her. 

       “Just so you know I don’t do one night stands!” she said nervously.

       “Neither do I,” I said as I leaned in and kissed her.  She tried to move away but only for a short time.  I put my leg on her thigh and caressed it as I moved my lips from her lips to her neck.  She rubbed my head as I sucked on her neck softly and ran my hand higher under her dress.  I moved her panties to the side as she grabbed my hand but as I dipped my fingers into her chocolate drop she relaxed and went with the feelings.
