Chapter 17
There he stood on Tasha's porch looking sexy as ever. Even though he had broke my heart I was still drawn to his looks. I closed the screen door behind me and pointed for him to sit on the swinging chair on her porch. I sat down and he sat next to me.
"So what do you want to talk about" I asked after a long moment of awkward silence.
"The baby and you and me" he said
"Well there is a baby but there damn sure aint no me and you" I said back to him. When I looked at his face I thought I saw a hint of hurt but I might have been wrong.
"So how far along are you" he asked me
"I don't yet I haven't been to the doctor but I don't think that I'm that far" I said to him
"Are we going to keep the baby or do you want to give it up for adoption" he asked another question
"I am keeping my baby weather you want it or not this is my child and I don't want nobody raising it but the two people who made it" I retorted back at him
"That's good but Savannah this is my child too and I want to be in his or her life I don't want my baby growing up not knowing who they daddy is like I did" he said I could tears forming in his eyes
Marcus had grown up without a father. His dad had abandoned his mom the day she told him that she was pregnant with Marcus he had told me the story before.
"Im not saying that you cant be there, to be honest I think I need you more now than I ever have" I told him
"I'm here for you and this baby Savannah, I love you girl and aint nothing gone change that" he looked at me and I saw pure honesty
I was confused Marcus still loved me, but if he loved why had he cheated on me with that girl. Before I could stop him Marcus pulled me into a tight hug and I staring him straight in the eye and then we kissed. I had missed that feeling so much over the past week.
"I love you and your mommy too" he said while he reached down and rubbed my stomach
At that moment I was thinking about what a great family I could have with me Marcus and our baby together forever. The Marcus' phone rang and I immediately thought it was his girl and the moment had been ruined. But when I heard Marcus' tone I knew it wasn't her.
He hung up and his face automatically went down and he started frowning.
Monae and Tasha who I assumed and been spying on us from the front window came out when the expression crossed Marcus' face.
I lightly touched his jaw "What's wrong" I asked him in one of the kindest tones I had ever used. Tasha and Monae stared at him wanting the answer to the question I had just asked.
"Its Ciara" he said and lifted up his face to reveal a single tear rolling down his cheek "She'd dead"
