CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

"1! 2! 3!" Everyone yelled before Amoura let the thing blow and pink confetti went flying

"It's a girl!" Almost everyone screamed

  Amouras eyes lit up and she started jumping up and down. Her heart taken over by joy seeing it was a girl what she wanted. Everyone started cheering and shouting in unison from happiness.

"I'm so happy." Amoura said watching some of the pink confetti still coming down

Her baby shower went nice which she was happy about. She got many gifts and although it was a bummer she couldn't do it with Dre. She got by with telling anybody who asked where he was that he had an emergency to tend to. She could tell most didn't believe her.

The baby shower went on for another hour before Amoura finally was back home. She didn't plan on taking a nap but ended up sleeping for a good two hours. The baby shower tired her out and Ace also since he went to sleep.

When Amoura woke back up she checked her phone seeing it was seven thirty. Going in the kitchen she got out some ice cream and the jar of pickles. After fixing herself a bowl she sat in the living room and started watching tv. Her phone rang, interrupting her. Right when she answered she already knew it was Dre.

"Hello?"

"Amoura. You hear me?"

"Yeah I hear you." She took a bite of the pickle

"What we having?"

"Guess."

"You know I ain't got long just tell me."

"Girl." She said

"Man stop playing." He laughed "Swear to god nigga."

"Why would I be lying? I was so happy finding out."

"Wooooow." He sounded in disbelief "Wait till the niggas hear this."

"You happy? I know you wanted a boy." She laughed a little "But of course we can't always get what we want."

"Shit I wanted a boy but I'm fine with whatever. Imma dress her ass like a nigga though ion give a fuck."

"Dre." She laughed "You have the game very much twisted cause that's not happening. I'm already looking at girl clothes."

"Mhm imma let you think that. I promise she gone have waves like me."

"You're not having her look like a boy on my watch. I've prepared for this moment. You can do all that with Ace. Leave the girly stuff to me."

"We gone see Amoura."

"That's if you ever even get out. When's your court date?"

"Next week. I got me a good ass lawyer we straight. Besides allat I just miss you. It sound weird saying that shit no cap but I do."

"It's not weird to show emotion, Dre. If anything I love it. Maybe I need you to get locked up all the time if you gone jail talk me like this." She said making him laugh

"Stop tryna play a nigga. Just being here since we tried shit out made me feel some way ion know. I miss you though and I wish I could've been with you today. I know you still mad and all. Pulled some wild shit while my child in you. We gone get this shit straight though. Heard?"

Amoura sighed "I hear you."

"Fuck you eating? You been munching this whole time."

"Pickles and ice cream pooh."

"Nasty ass."

"Sir this baby got me eating this. I had this same craving with Ace."

"As I said, nasty ass. You ain't have to eat it just cause you craving it."

"Well, I did cause I was feening. If there's a problem don't be asking me what I'm eating. You know my taste buds are different right now."

"You right I'm done asking. You making me sick you really eating that shit together."

"Shut up."

"You needa come see me." He said

"First of all I didn't even tell my grandma or papa about where you at yet."

"And don't cause you know they ain't gone let you come here."

"I'm eighteen now and grown I can go if I want."

He started laughing "Niggas turn eighteen and don't know how to act. You couldn't wait to say you was grown. Relax you still in the teens baby."

"Dre I'm tired of you." She laughed "Can we hold a serious convo please?"

"On a serious ass note you know she not gone want you coming."

"She probably won't but who cares? It's up to me."

"Don't get put out now."

"That's not ever gonna happen she'll be mad but I won't ever get put out. Maybe my phone taken that's about it."

"Grown ass but still getting your shit taken."

"Dre omg. Please stop tryna be funny. I don't pay my own phone bill of course she can take my shit. But still the main focus is I'll see about going to see you."

"Bet. Cause I wanna see you and my son."

"Daughter."

"She my son."

"Stop playing with me."

He laughed "Ard I'm done fuckin wit you, Amoura."

"Thank you." She sighed "I'm so scared this won't turn out how I want it."

"What?"

"You and this whole situation. I'll be so hurt if you have to go away for a year or so. I wanted to experience all this with you. I guess I'll have to do it alone all over again until you're rel—"

"Stop speaking that shit into existence cause it's pissing me off."

"I can't help but to think that..."

"Well stop thinking like that. Dead that shit. Stop worrying bout this shit like I said and just know I got it. But I got a minute left on here, so just know I miss you and imma call you when I can."

"Alright Dre. I miss you too."

"Take care of my son for me."

Amoura laughed "I can't stand you."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Bye." She said before it hung up

Sighing to herself, she shook her head.

"Jail talk." She mumbled as she locked her phone

A few minutes had passed and Amoura was falling asleep but hearing the stairs creak made her open her eyes. Her grandma was coming with the laundry basket.

"You wanna tell me where Dre really is?"

Amoura frowned when she asked that. Did she hear my convo....

"What you mean grandma?"

"I know when you're lying Amoura."

Amoura didn't feel like dragging a lie. She wanted to get it out the way but she was still scared.

"He's just been dealing with some court stuff... and grandma before you get mad at me because I told you something different, it's only because I knew you'd have something to say about it."

"He's dealing with court? Explain. Cause he clearly must be locked up is what I'm hearing since he wasn't at the baby shower today."

Amoura didn't say anything and grandma facial expression changed showing she was pissed.

"So he's in jail?"

Amoura nodded "Yeah."

"Wow." She shook her head "So he's in jail for what?"

"He won't tell me yet." She lied

"And why is that?"

Amoura shrugged "Either way it goes oh well. Things happen. Nobody is perfect."

"You're right about that but depending on what he's done will tell me if he was just careless or if it were a situation he couldn't control."

"Okay but grandma if anything I should be mad not you. He's my boyfriend... I'm kinda tired of being scared to tell you stuff about him." Amoura said "You can't be mad at everything. If anything just say I told you so because only person that has to deal with it is me."

"I have every right to be mad." She said

"For what?"

"It's showing how careless he is with a child on the way and he's getting caught up with mess?"

Amoura tried so hard to control her facial expressions so they didn't show how she was feeling right now.

"I've talked to him and he wishes he was here and apologized for it, but right now it's no time to just be mad at him."

"I'm not mad at him I'm just disappointed this is somebody you chose to have a baby with let alone be with."

"Grandma you're acting like this is his tenth time getting locked up. I was mad about it but never questioned myself being with him. Things happen but like really at this type of time can we not be mad at each other?"

"I just don't understand Amoura..." she sighed

"I don't have the time for this." Amoura got up and washed her bowl out

She went upstairs and grabbed her bag before going back downstairs.

"I'm going to go to the mall. I gotta get started on getting her clothes."

"Okay, Amoura."

She left out the house and drive a half hour to get to the mall. When she got inside she went walking around before going inside the children's place. She got a couple of things she liked and paid.

When she was finished she headed to Emanis house just to talk for a little.

"Dre needs to do better." Emani said "I just feel like he needs to start thinking logically and handling situations better so he doesn't end up where he is again. Like I understand the mistake, but fighting the cop could've turned out worst with how many black men are being killed off because of these mufuckas."

Amoura nodded "You right."

"I'm hoping everything works out for you. I hate that you gotta deal with this shit." She said "All I know is if Dre keep it up you wasting your time being with him and thinking he's beneficial being in the baby's life. If he's gonna continue to do shit that puts him where he's at and fuck you and the baby over in the end."

"I never thought of it like that. I do feel like he's only thinking of himself but you know..." she paused and shrugged "I don't know what Dre got going on."

After talking to Emani she went back home and entertained Ace for the day. She didn't get a call from Dre so she expected tomorrow to.
