Giving me another kiss we exchanged our love for each other and said a quick prayer before he left the house. About 30 minutes later my appointment pulled up causing me to sigh. Since I was younger I always loved making women feel beautiful so I picked up multiple trades in the beauty field doing everything from nails, hair, and even piercings.
Her floor length medium box braids took about 4 hours and afterwards she thanked me, payed me, and my favorite part got the hell on. Don't get me wrong I loved doing hair and would never let my clients know this but my anxiety gets to f*cking up when I'm in the presence of people I didn't know.
Looking at the clock I watched as the time quickly switched from 8:59 to 9pm and Chris had yet to return home. This realization made me panic immediately assuming the worst but the thought left as soon as a call from Chris came through.
"Baby I know you're probably worrying but I promise I'll be home within the next hour. I'm finna drop the guys off and then I'm coming home to you" he says as soon as the call connected causing me to smile.
We exchanged words before I decided to lay down and take a nap until he came home. However, in the middle of my nap my mind randomly told me to wake up and once I glanced at my phone I instantly began to panic.
It was now 1 am and Chris was not home yet. I instantly called his phone but each time the call went unanswered which caused me to call his best friend soon being greeted with the same results.

That was until I received a collect call from a jail that neither of us were strangers of.
"Baby, I can explain" he starts as soon as the call connected and as he told the story my heart began to break with every word.
A robbery gone wrong was what he told me in so many words. As time progressed I found out that on his way to drop off his best friend they were shot at by some nigg*s they had beef with and of course they shot back. As shots rang through the air multiple people were hit and as soon as the sirens sounded everybody left except for him.
His best friend was shot and slowly dying and all he could do was hold him. Emotions got the best of him and by the time the police came it was too late to run and he was instantly arrested as his best friend was left to die on the street.
5 years earlier
Almost 3 years without my person damn near broke me. At first we were talking everyday but after the first year Christopher told me that he wanted me to go out and live my life. He didn't want me to wait for someone that we weren't even sure would be coming back home.
Hearing that broke me completely. I was so depressed about not being able to hold him close to me that I lost everything. When he went to jail I got out the streets and moved in with my Aunt to save money in hopes of a better future. However not many jobs wanted to hire a felon and the only one that would just so happened to be a random ass Starbucks that they built in the hood in an attempt to gentrify the community.
On a random day in June I was extremely tired coming home and couldn't wait to lay down. At this point I was 2 months pregnant and this damn baby was kicking my ass. Not to mention my child's father was an entitled asshole that I met at a party and slept with out of self pity. Jaden was my second sexual partner and broke my 3 year streak of celibacy that I swore I would never break after Chris got locked up.
However one night I was drunk, vulnerable, and extremely horny which caused me to link with him and the rest would be 18 years of history. Unlocking the door I was instantly greeted with a house full of roses which instantly confused me. I simply thought that maybe one of my aunts guy friends had this for her but when I saw Christopher I instantly broke down.
My person was back home and I was carrying another nigg*s baby. I felt so guilty and for the first time ever I began to consider an abortion. My cries only got louder as he pulled me into his arms shedding a few tears himself.
For the next few weeks, we stayed inside enjoying each other's company only leaving each other's presence to work. I had yet to tell him about the baby but I knew I would have to because slowly but surely I was beginning to show and I knew it would be wrong to hide this from him.
That night when he returned home I told him and the entire time I was terrified that he would leave me.
"I'm pregnant" I say looking directly into his eyes as he held me in his arms. In that very moment the admiration that he usually held for me in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with a blank stare.
He instantly backed away from me and sat on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands.
"Look, I didn't plan this sh*t it just happened. I was drinking more than ever and had a one night stand with some nigg*. We weren't dating or anything and he was the only person I've had sex with outside of you" I speak up again going to sit on the side of him clearly nervous as hell.
"He doesn't want to be in the child's life but with or without him this is my baby. Although the circ*mstances aren't perfect I can't get rid of this life inside of me that would kill me Chris and you of all people know that" I say again to fill in the silence that quickly filled the room after the news.
We sat in complete silence as he refused to even look at me which caused me to break down into tears.
"Please say something" I struggle to say as the tears continued to flow.
Hearing me cry caused him to finally break from his trance and pull me into his arms holding me as I cried.
"Look, I'm not exactly thrilled to hear this sh*t but I love you and everything that comes with you. It's gone take some getting used to but I'll never guilt trip you into do something you don't want to do. As far as that lame ass nigg* go, f*ck em. That's our baby and I'll never view her as anything less" he finally speaks up giving me everything from love to instant reassurance in that moment.
Present time
Hearing Junie's light snore instantly confirmed that she had fallen asleep causing me to smile. Adjusting her to lay on the pillow I gave her a small kiss on her forehead careful not to wake her before allowing sleep to consume my body as I thought about my first true love.
