CHAD

I was going to be a father. My heart was feeling overwhelmed. I was happy and tormented at the same time. Seeing the way my actions affected Lexi and hearing the way she felt that day made me feel like shit. I couldn’t stand myself right now. When she slid to the floor of the elevator and burst into tears, I wanted to run to her before the doors closed, but I didn’t want to make things even harder for her.

When Zay and I walked back into the room, he had to talk to me for all of fifteen minutes to get me to tell him what was going on. After revealing that Lexi was pregnant, he didn’t know how to feel. I could tell he wanted to congratulate me, but at the same time, he wanted to apologize. I’d been wanting to see her for the past two months, but I would have never guessed I would have been seeing her this way.

After calling her and then receiving her text, I’d been antsy, waiting to hear from her. Since I was doing well with the antibiotics, they were sending me home. I was beyond happy to leave this shit. The food was horrible. When I’d come back in after Lexi left, I’d thrown that shit on the floor. I’d been in my thoughts ever since I’d talked to Isaiah, not giving anyone else much attention. I didn’t know if I wanted to blast out that she was pregnant just yet, but I supposed it didn’t matter.

Once Dad found out I was going home, he said he would see me tomorrow. He and Mama Nissa had come by earlier before Lexi came, and he was supposed to come back by this evening. It was just me and DJ now. He had been waiting to be alone with me so we could talk about whatever was going on with me. As soon as Dylan left, he went in.

“You’ve been quiet since I’ve been here. What’s up, man? Don’t tell me you gon’ let this shit tear you back down. You were doing great.”

“Naw. It ain’t that. Lexi came by earlier. She was telling me how I hurt her and how she didn’t think we would ever be together but wishing me well with the next woman. I didn’t know why she came to the hospital to tell me all that until she said she was pregnant. She was letting me know, basically, that just because she was pregnant, that didn’t mean that she would just want to be with me.”

“Damn. Umm… congratulations?”

“I know. It’s bittersweet. I’m happy that I’m gonna be a father, but I want to share every moment of that with her. She’s done with me. When she said she didn’t trust me with her heart, that shit was like a gunshot to the chest. I deserved it though. I done put her through a lot of unnecessary bullshit. While I was worried about her level of maturity, I was the one being immature.
