Over Him... (Sort Of)

JADA POV

Walking inside the doctors office I see Chris sitting there trying to focus on the pointless magazine he had in his hand. Clearing my throat he looked up "Hey". I smile "happy you came". We stared at each other for a short time. The medical assistant interrupted us calling me inside.

The doctor explained to me that the baby is growing fine, it's at a perfect size and weight. Chris was happy to hear that. He also let us hear the heartbeat. Chris was beyond himself when he heard the fast paced heartbeats. I went to front and made another appointment for the following month.

Outside by our cars "so your next appointment is for the fifth of next month?". I nodded "look how do you feel about adoption?". He raised his brow "I don't feel anything for it. Why?".

"Because I was thinking about it. The thought of bringing a baby into our mess isn't fair. When someone else can give it the world" I said.

"Absolutely not! Our child will be raised by us. We can give it what it needs" he said.

"Chris you didn't even think about it!. I spoke to someone to get more info. There's closed, open adoptions".

"Jada, listen to me carefully. You... we are not giving up our baby to anyone. So get the adoption idea out of your head. It's not happening". He stood there firm just glaring at me "and it better not be those friends of yours putting ideas on your head".

"This is all my idea. I would hate to have this baby and then shit hits the fan and we don't talk anymore and then you just stop coming around all together" I said.

"Jada as long as your hormones don't completely take over we'll be fine. I wouldn't desert my child nor you. So you have nothing to worry about!" He said.

Not responding to what he just said. "Just trust me". That's easier said than done. He left me there and went on his way.

CHRIS POV

Jada has lost her damn mind trying to seek adoption. I would never place any child of mine up. She needs to relax and let this pregnancy ride out. In the meantime I had to go meet Brooke. She wanted to meet with me.

"Hey sexy!" She smirked.

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"No, problem at all. Just wanted to see you" she wrapped her arms around my neck. Pushing her hands off "I'm not in the mood".

"You've never been in the mood, lately" she said.

"Are we done here?" I asked.

"Let me guess Jada got you all upset, right?" She asked.

"No, I was busy before though" I said.

"Oh I saw Jada at the gas station. She's not taking the break up very well" she said.

"What break up?" I asked.

"You two aren't together like that. So that's considered a break up" she said.

"No one broke up. Jada and I are in a totally different situation now" I said.

"Like what?" She asked. Might as well tell her "Jada is pregnant".

Her mouth flew open "and it's yours?".

"Of course it's mine. And I'm trying to keep Jada in tact" I said.

"Wow, I can't believe she's pregnant! This whole time I was thinking we could work things out. But I guess not" she said.

"Brooke I told you this before I wasn't interested in being in an actual relationship with you again. It was just us hooking up" I said.

"Wait? And you're letting her keep this thing?" She asked.

"Why wouldn't I?. It's a baby. A life" I said.

"This is weird coming from the man who didn't want kids" she said.

"Well that was then and this is now. I changed my mind". Brooke stood there in disbelief. "I'm still in shock here". I wanted to get back up meet Jada at her apartment just to make sure she's not still thinking about the adoption.

Racing over there, she let me in. "What are you doing here?". I walked in and instantly saw the adoption pamphlets on her table. Sighing loudly "I thought we spoke about this already".

"We did. But that doesn't mean I agree with you" she said. She has to be kidding me. "You can't be serious?".

"I'm dead serious" she said.

"Are you doing this to punish me or something?" I asked.

"Really?!" She asked.

"Why are you so in for this?" I asked.

"Because I can't trust that fact you'll stick around. If there a family out there who can provide everything for it then why not?".

"Jada you're okay with bonding and carrying our baby for nine whole months. Seeing it when it's born and able to give it away?".

"I mean I know it's not going to be easy. But knowing it'll be taken care of... it'll make it a little better" she said.

"Jada we are NOT giving this baby up. And that's final! So enough with this adoption foolery. Our baby deserves its parents" taking the pamphlets and ripping them up into pieces. She glanced at me "You are ridiculous".

"No I'm logical. Maybe you need to start thinking before you do something stupid" I said. Jada has lost her mind if she thinks I'm going to allow her to go with the adoption option. Over my dead body. She's making this very difficult.
