There was no response so I asked again. "Hello?"

"Hey Tasha. Are you comming over tonite?" I heard Chris say.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the back of the seat. "Uh, yeah. I um..."

He noticed the pause in my voice and asked, "Whats wrong?"

I wasnt sure what I should say. Would it be better if I told him over the phone or in person?

"Nothing. I'll see you in about 20 minutes."

On the drive over I was going back and fourth to myself about whether I should tell him. Most of the arguments were out loud and when I pulled up to a red light and old woman in her car was looking at me like I was crazy. "What? you've never seen a person argue with herself before?" She sped off as soon as the light turned green.

When I pulled up to his apartment building I was a little nervous. I thought about pulling out of the parking lot and going to my sisters house, at least I would'nt have to go back home and face Jamal again.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the steering wheel for about thirty seconds, then I decided it was now or never. I got out of the car and went to his door. I knocked twice and the door opened quickly.

"Wow, when you say twenty minutes you mean twenty minutes."

I smiled a fake smile. "Yeah, I have a thing about being on time."

"well thats good to know"

He moved aside and I brushed past him. I instantly smelled food cooking and it made my stomach turn. It smelled really good but my baby disagreed.

"What are you cooking?"

"Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and Brocolli with cheese" he said eagerly.

"mmm... sounds good."

He walked over to the stove to check on the food and I sat on the couch. I wasnt really up for a conversation. I didnt want him to know that me and my husband had seperated because I didnt want him to see my weak side. On the other hand, I needed someone to talk to.

"Something wrong? Youre never this quiet."

"Uh, I've got alot on my mind." I said curling my whole body up on the couch like I do at home.

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

"Just..."

"You dont have to tell me if you dont want to. I mean it none of my buisness" He said turning around to look at me. "But if you do want to, im all ears"

I smiled. That was one of the things I liked about him. He always went with the flow.

"Actually, this has more to do with you than you think"

I got up and walked over to where he was standing.

"what do you know about me chris?"

He looked at me with weird eyes. "Not much"

"Yeah, but just tell me what you know... tell me all that you know"

"well... I know that your married. I know that you have a sister. I know that you work in interior design.... and thats about it" he shrugged.

"Did you know I didnt have any kids?" I asked nervously.

"I kinda figured that" he said looking confused.

I felt myself about to cry. "Me and my husband seperated today. well today was when I kicked him out. We've been drifting for months. But about 5 weeks ago, the night I left from being with you I found out he'd gotton another woman pregnant."

"Damn, thats messed up"

I nodded. "Yeah well, Im no better"

"what do you mean? why?"

"The reason I kicked him out wasnt because he got some woman pregnant, it was because I felt stupid. I felt like I had no one else to blame."

"Im confused. You had no one else to blame about what?"

I grabbed his hand and placed it over my belly. "This"

His eyes Widened. He looked paralyzed.

"What are you saying?"

"You know what Im saying"

He shook his head. "No, you cant be pregnant. We used protection."

I smirked. "Thats not a definate."

"No, you dont understand. This cannot be possible."

He looked nervous all of a sudden and I knew there was more to what he was saying than me telling him I was pregnant. There was a reason for this reaction that he wasnt telling me about.

"Is there something you wanna tell me?"

He walked over to the couch and sat down. It took him about a minute to nod his head and actually answer the question.

"I'm married. This apartment is my work studio. I rented it a year ago because my house has too many distractions."

I was shocked. "Distractions?"

He nodded again. "I have 2 kids"
