He looked up into my eyes before taking a pull from his blunt, while I tried my hardest not to look elsewhere because of his intimidating stare.

"If you're pregnant.." He started, making me look down.

"Look at me when I'm talkin' to you, Tiana." He spoke sternly while he filled the room with smoke. I did as told, looking him in the eyes again as he attentively kept eye contact.

"If you look away from me again anytime during this conversation, I promise you me and you gon' have a problem." He spoke seriously, making me swallow hard.

"I'm your nigga and you already know how I feel about you. I would never make you do some shit that you don't wan' do. And for you to even let that dumb ass shit come out your mouth got me hot right na'."

"So look away from me again if you want to." He spoke sternly, blowing smoke through his nose.

Saying silent for a while, I kept my eyes on him as he kept his eyes on me. He continued to smoke his blunt and this silence was doing nothing but making my nerves even worse. He knew that too though.

"Na' if you really pregnant, Tiana, I wun' keep the baby. I was talkin' shit out there with them but that's just what I do with my niggas, you know that." He finally spoke up, easing my mind a bit.

"Yeah I wun' tryna get you pregnant right na' because I know you got goals and shit. But if it happened then it happened. What the fuck we gon' do?" He shrugged nonchalantly. It was at if he wasn't even nervous and here I was freaking out.

"I'm just scared and I was really scared to tell you because I thought you would be mad at me." I admitted.

"I don't know why you thought that." He scoffed.

"Well we just got back on good terms and we're still not even officially together." I expressed to him as he leaned over to put his blunt out in the ashtray.

"Like I wanted us to have a baby eventually but not on these terms. That's why I was always so cautious when we had sex. I don't even know how this happened." I admitted to him.

"Did you slip up or something?" I couldn't help but to ask.

"Because we only had sex one time in the past two months and we used a condom then."

"I just don't understand, Dominic."

"It was probably because of the Trojan I used, ma." He finally spoke up, looking into my eyes.

"Remember when you said it was too small." He smirked.

"Yeah and then I told you it wasn't protecting anything." I slapped his face softly, I couldn't even be mad at him.

"Yeah, that's probably what it was, ma."

"Shit probably popped." He went on and I just looked at him with a pout.

"Look, if that's what it was, I apologize, baby. You know I ain't mean to." He apologized, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to him.

"Hmph." I tooted my lips as I laid my head on his shoulder.

"But we gon' figure this shit out though. Don't even stress about it. I'm gon' take you to the clinic tomorrow."

"Aight?"

"Okay." I nodded slowly.
