Emma and Liberty arrived at the Niagra Square Mall. Their first stop was at Aerie, to buy some new shirts, jeans, and shorts. As Liberty and Emma were going through racks, Emma decided to make conversation.
"So, Liberty, how's everything with you and Jay?"
Liberty sighed and said,"Our relationship is kind of on the rocks."
"What's wrong?"
"Jay just lost his job and it's stressing both of us out."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Liberty."
"It's okay, it just that well...I think he'll turned back to his old ways."
"Like in high school?"
"Yeah, I mean he still hangs around those same people."
"I can ask, Spinner to help him find a job?"
Liberty smiled,"Thanks, Emma," she hugged her. "I really appericate it."
"No problem, anything to help out a friend...and her man."
It was in the middle of the afternoon, when Liberty arrived at her and Jay's apartment. When, she walked in she was greeted with the loud cheers of a football game on the television. Signaling Jay was home. Liberty walked into the living room to find Jay laying on the couch eating a big bag of potato chips. She smiled and walked over to him, planting a kiss on his cheek.
"Hey, sweetie." Liberty sat down on the couch next to Jay, who pulled her into his lap. Liberty giggled as Jay started kissing her neck.
"I've missed you." Jay told her in between kisses.
"Jay, stop it, this is how I got pregnant in the first place."
"And you weren't complaining."
"I know, I wasn't complaining and now the deed is done, so stop it."
Jay did as he was told."Where did you go?"
"To Niagra Square Mall with Emma. Bought me some clothes and outfit for when I lose all the baby weight. And baby things."
"What did you buy for the baby?"
"Booties, shirts, pants, hats, accessories, and decorations for the baby's room."
"You just went on a spending spree didn't you?"
"Of course," then Liberty realized what he was talking about,"Jay, I know what you are talking about and that's why, I would like to say your troubles are over?"
"Meaning?"
"I talk to Emma and she said that she will get Spinner to help you out. Isn't that great?"
Jay sighed and ran his hands over his face. He tried his best to hide his embarrassment and anger, but was failing miserably. "Liberty, please tell me you didn't do that?"
"Are you mad?"
"What do you think?"
Liberty voice was now sounded, scared and confused."I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help."
"Help? Help? You only made things worst!"
Liberty flinched at Jay's words."Jay, I'm sorry. But, do you want me to do?"
"By keeping your mouth closed, for starters."
"What more can I say? At least I'm trying to help! What are you doing? Sitting on your ass eating potato chips! I'm pregnant with your child, Jay, don't you think I should be alittle bit concern about your occupation as well?"
"No, you shouldn't the only thing you should worry about is our baby."
"But, Jay let me help you, please?" Liberty begged Jay.
"No!"
"Why?"
"Because, it isn't your place, Liberty! A woman isn't suppose to worry about a man's job. I'm the one that wants to give us a good living. It's my job, not yours!"
"Jay-"
"Liberty, drop it."
"You don't have to do it alone."
"But, I want to."
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"I don't know, Liberty. Look, I have to go and clear my head, I'll be back later." Jay put on his jacket and walked out of the door. Liberty sighed and sat down on the couch. She can't believe he was acting this way. But, then again, maybe he was right, this time.
