Chapter 10: Jefferbaby

John

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

The baby is Jefferson's. And I thought Maria would be the first one to get pregnant.

Right now, I wanted to punch Jefferson so hard in the face. I wanted to make him feel pain. Poor Angelica. She's only 20 years old and pregnant with her first child.

Classes started back again Monday like usual. I was making my way to the physics classroom for my last class, when I got pushed.

I fell to the ground and slowly started to bring myself up. Jefferson's shoe met my back and kept me down.

"Jefferson let me up, please."

"Mm. I'm good."

He pressed down even harder. I finally slid out from under his foot and stood up to face him. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What you gonna do? Hit me, skittle pack?"

My blood boiled. "Taste the rainbow bitch!" I yelled and punched him square in the nose.

"Ah! You fuckin bitch!"

He tried to hit me, but I dodged. He punched me in the stomach and I dropped to my knees. He kneeled down to my level. "Fuck off, loser. I don't want gay people like you and your 'lover' around when my kid is born."

"Since when the hell did you start to care? The whole state of New York knows that you're gonna be a deadbeat dad!"

He snarled. "Just leave me alone faggot." He pushed me and walked away.

Thomas

Laurens was wrong. I'm not gonna be a deadbeat dad. I will be there for this child no matter what it takes. I love Angelica, and I'm most certain she loves me.

Babygirl: Can I meet you at your dorm?

Daddy;): Of course baby. See you in 10

I rushed to my dorm. I couldn't wait to see her. I felt light on my feet and it felt like I never touched the ground.

I got to my dorm and walked in to see her sitting on the bed.

I ran over and kissed her passionately.

"Thomas," she started.

"Hmm?"

"I decided I want to keep the baby."

I smiled and picked her up. "I gonna be the best damn dad ever! I promise!"

She smiled. "But you have to promise me one thing."

"What's that," I asked and looked at her stomach.

"You can't beat up my friends."

I thought about it. "Oh okay. I promise."

For the first time ever, I swear, she kissed me first.

"Thomas, don't you want a life with me?"

I wrapped my arms around her waist and looked down at her. "Of course, why wouldn't I?"

"Just making sure."

She kissed me again and I knew from then on, I was done with being a terrible person. That day Angelica Schuyler changed my life.
