I hate this edit, but I'm over it.  I need to go to bed, so that's as good as it's going to get lol!

The next morning.

"Jessica, wake up. Come on, I want breakfast waiting for me after I get out of the shower."

"Hank please, I feel so sick!"

"Yeah well a week partying like a college kid will do that to you.  Come on.  Up, bitch."

"Hank!"

"Get up right now and make my breakfast!" He screams.

Jessica whines and stands up.

Once making her way down to the kitchen, Jessica softly rubbed her stomach and said, "I promise we'll get away from him soon, little one."

What Jessica didn't know is that Hank was standing at the top of the stairs about to put in a meal request when she said that.

"Excuse me?"

Jessica gasps and turns to him.

"Are you pregnant?"

Jessica just stares at him without saying a word.

"And what do you mean you'll get away from me soon?"

"I.. I.."

"You what, bitch?" Hanks runs down the stares Jessica takes off for the door.

Just as Jessica touches the doorknob, Hank grabs her roughly by the wrist.

"No! Hank no!"

"I don't want another baby! I'm in my fucking fifties! I thought you took care of your shit!" Hank slaps her across the face.

"Hank! STOP IT!" She yells before he hits her again.

Hank then throws her to the ground and straddles her. Just as he lifted his fist, Bradley walked in.

He and Ziah are in the middle of renovating their home. He came over to borrow something from his father.

"DAD! What the hell are you doing? STOP IT!"

"Your mother's pregnant!"

"What? Then get off of her! What the hell are you doing?!" Bradley grabs his father and pushes him to the side.

He then gets down and helps Jessica sit up.
"I'm so sorry, mom. Are you okay? How's the baby?"

Jessica wanted to cry at how concerned he was.

"We're both okay. Thank you, sweetie."

"Come on, you're coming with me. You're not staying with this man anymore."

"Like I care! Jessica, I want nothing to do with you or that fucking baby!"

Jessica wanted to scream out that it isn't his baby, even though she isn't one hundred percent sure it's not.
She stopped herself because Bradley was there.

Bradley helped Jessica to the car and gave her his water.

"Here Mom. Drink some water.
  Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes sweetie, thank you."

"I can't believe him!"

"I-I.. I don't know what to say."

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. Here, put this around the water bottle."

"Why?"

"You're gonna have to put it on your face until we can get you some ice.  Let me see.." Bradley softly touches her chin, and turns her face towards him.

"Your lip is bleeding, and your cheek is already bruising. I'm so sorry, mom. I feel terrible."

"Honey, it's not your fault."

"I know but I still feel bad."

Jessica reaches over and rubs his leg.
"It's okay.
Oh gosh, there's blood on my hand, I'm sorry! I could have gotten that on your pants!"

"No don't worry, momma! We'll get you all cleaned up at the house." Bradley gives his mother a smile.

"Thank you.."

".. So you're pregnant? That's weird. But also really cool!" He smiles.

"Really?" Jessica smiles softly.

"Yeah! I'm gonna be a big brother again!" Bradley chuckles. "And Conner won't be the baby anymore!"

"Nope!"

"It's awesome, mom." Bradley places his hand on hers.

"Thank you, sweet boy.."

"Let's go home.."

"Okay.."

"Oh shoot!"

"What's wrong?"

"I can't take you to the house!"

"You can't?"

"No, we just painted and all of those fumes are bad for the baby!"

"Oh that's right.. Well that's okay.. I'm sure Daddy will cool down soon.." Jessica speaks in a low voice.

"I am not taking you back to there.
Do you want to go to grandma's?"

"No! I don't want her to know about all of this, Brad. Not yet."

"That's okay.
Hey! I'm sure Ziah's dad won't mind you staying there.. he has the room."

"He does the have room.." Jessica looks down and fiddles with her fingers.

"Do you care if I take you there? He's cool, it shouldn't be a problem."

"No, I suppose not. That's fine, go ahead and take me there."

"Alright. Just relax, okay? Everything's fine! Take deep breaths and relax."

Jessica nods her head and breathes deeply.

**

Idris lives in a gated community, so he knew Bradley was on his way due to having the guard call for permission to let him in.

However, he was still unaware Jessica was with him.

He smiled seeing Bradley pull up, but it quickly faded when he saw a beaten up Jessica.

"That bastard." He mumbles under his breath.

Bradley gets out of the car just as Idris runs to Jessica's side.

"Oh Jessica!"

"Don't say a word, Idris Akuna Elba." Jessica gives him a look.

"I won't.  Come in, let's get you cleaned up." Idris takes Jessica's hands and helps her out of the car.

"What happened?"

"My dad happened!  I walked in on the son of a bitch beating her!  Our house is full of fumes that isn't good for her or the baby so- Oh yeah!  She's pregnant!"

"You are?!" Idris' eyes widen.

"Yes.." Jessica gives him a blank look.

"Well congratulations!" He smiles.

"Thanks."

"Anyway.. can she stay with you for now?  She doesn't want my grandmother to know yet."

"Of course!  I have plenty of room, so no worries!"

"Thank you, Idris."

"You're welcome.
  Now come in, let's get you out of that nightgown."

Jessica snaps her glance over to Idris.

"And into some regular clothes, of course!" He smiles.

"Yes.. thank you.."

**

Idris cleaned Jessica's face, and placed a couple of bandages where needed.
Jessica just stared at him the entire time he tended to her.

"Okay.. all patched up."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome.
Leona leaves some of her clothes in the guest room for whenever she comes over. Feel free to take whatever you want."

"Thank you.."

"You're welcome. We should probably take you to the hospital, yes?"

"No! Please, I'd rather not."

"You should check on the baby, mom." Bradley says.

"The baby's fine. I just really need some rest."

"Okay.."

"I'll call my doctor tomorrow to make an appointment. I should probably get an ultrasound soon anyway."

"Cool."

"Go ahead and get back to Ziah, baby. I'm okay."

"Are you sure?"

"I promise." Jessica smiles softly.

"Okay. Get some rest!" Bradley kisses his mother's cheek, then turns to Idris.

"Please let me know if anything happens."

"Will do, son. I'll keep a good eye on her."

"I really appreciate you."

"I'm happy to be of help." Idris smiles softly.

Bradley let's himself out, and Idris turns to Jessica with a smile.

"So you're pregnant? What a surprise!"

"Shut up."

"I'm just messing with you.
Honey, this is why I wanted you to stay with me."

"Well I'm here now! Don't start with the I told you so's!"

"Alright, I'm sorry. I'll stop. I just hate that you're all bruised up because of that evil man.. and I hate that I'm the reason for it."

"You're not the reason, Idris."

"I am. I should have never let you go back there! Not only did I send you with him, but I sent my baby too!"

"Idris, I am a grown woman. I made a decision, and I wasn't going to let you change my mind."

"That's true. But from now on you're staying here.
And I'm gonna be here every single day of this pregnancy. I'm gonna be here for the birth, the newborn nighttime duty. I'm going to be here for everything, love!"

Jessica looks at Idris with tears in her eyes.
"Our baby is so lucky to have you as his daddy."

Idris smiles and takes her hand in his.
"Not as lucky as he is to have you as his mommy." Idris then places a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose.
