The rift is unavoidable; it cannot be helped. I wonât ask my family to choose, but I know that I wonât subject Stephanie to anyoneâs ridicule, no matter who it is.
That was the conclusion I came to in the early morning hours before turning her on her back and sliding into her before she came fully awake. There was anger in my strokes. Not at her, but she got the brunt of it, not that she complained, she was with me stroke for stroke, thrust for thrust, and I couldnât help but dick with her.
âI see youâre working hard for that baby.â Iâm not sure why that set her off, but it did; she came without warning, just from those words alone. The funny thing is, they seemed to light a fire in me as well, the images they conjured, me planting my seed in Stephanie, Stephanie round with child, my child. âShit!â I went off like a rocket inside her, and this time when I rolled away, I was out before my head hit the pillow.
The next morning, we left the club, and I took her back to her place because I knew I was going to have a lot to deal with today, things that I didnât want her in the middle of just yet. I couldnât bring myself to tell her what had been said or about the fallout I was sure was coming. I didnât want to hurt her or do anything that would remove that look of total bliss on her face as we drove through the empty streets holding hands.

âI donât want you to go.â
âI know, baby, I donât want to leave you either, but I have some things to take care of, then Iâll come back to you, okay.â She nodded, and we shared one last kiss before I left.
All the way to my parentsâ place, I reminded myself to remain calm. Iâd turned my phone off sometime during the night, but when I turned it back on, I saw the many missed calls and messages, most of them from mom and a few from Roz, all of which I ignored.
I called mom back and asked her to invite my other siblings over to the house, not letting her say anything or ask anything before hanging up the phone again. That anger that Iâd felt the night before was sneakily making its way back, but I knew that was not the way to go about this. I have to keep a cool head before I do more damage than I intended.
The decision had been easier to make than Iâd have thought it would be. Coming from a close-knit family and being the one whoâd made it, so to speak, financially at least, Iâve always looked out for everyone else. I never
