“And out of everything you did, you really named that baby Jabari Junior?”

His eyes came back to mine. “Lee.”

“Nah. Don’t Lee me. What made you think that was okay?”

JB didn’t answer.

“That was our son’s name.”

“I know.”

“Then why would you do that?”

“I fucked up.”

My eyes started burning, and that only pissed me off more. I set his hand down on the towel between us.

“You keep saying you fucked up like it was one thing. It wasn’t just his name. It wasn’t just you having a baby with her. You was coming home getting in my bed too.”

“Lee.”

“You was sleeping with me and her at the same time.”

“I…”

“Raw.” www

That shut him up, and I dropped the file on the table. “You don’t get to do that to people, JB. I trusted you with my body. You could’ve gave me something. I got my first prenatal appointment Monday, and if they run them tests and tell me you gave me something…”

The words were already out before I realized what I had said.

JB frowned. “Your what?”

I reached for the file again, wishing like hell I could take the last ten seconds back.

“Lee. What you mean prenatal appointment?”

“Leave it alone.”

He pulled his hand completely away from me. “Lee, you pregnant?”

There wasn’t any point trying to get around it now. “Yeah.”

He stared at me. “Yeah what?”

“I’m pregnant.”

JB froze for a second, then his eyes moved over me like he was trying to see something that wasn’t showing yet.

“Mine?”

I stared at him. “Who else would it be?”

The biggest smile spread across his face. “You serious?”

“Yes.”

He reached across the table toward my stomach, and I slapped his hand away before he got there.
