Chapter Six
JT was walking home from work when he saw Liberty sitting on her front stoop. Before he could change directions, it was too late. Liberty saw him.
"JT. Can we talk?"
"I guess."
"Look, I know this whole situation is not easy for you, but it's not easy for me either. I want this child to be safe. But I want you to be safe too. Because you're important to me."
"I was just trying to help. Yes, I know it wasn't the smartest thing to do. But I've been trying. This is just as much my fault as yours. In fact it's more my fault then yours. Lib, I love you but you need to cut me some slack."
"I know. I realize this. I just hope it's not too late for us. I mean we can't exactly start over because I'm pregnant, but I hope we can at least be together and work everything out."
"I'm ready to work everything out if you are."
"I want to work this out. JT, I love you and I need you. And not just because I'm pregnant."
"I need you too. Never in a million years did I think we'd be here. But we are and we're going to work through this."
"Thanks."
