(3rd Person)

She walked up to her boyfriend surprising him and pecking him on the cheek.

"Hey, Race," she says as he wraps one of his arms around her waist.

"Hey, Tora," he replied. "Why ah ya so happy taday?" he asked noticing her good mood. Usually she was exactly like her big brother, Spot.

"'Cause I have some news," she replies taking his hand and leading him away from the crowd to a nearby alley.

"So what's da news?" he inquired not wanting to wait anymore.

"Well, remember our anniversary and what we did that night?" she asked him.

"Yeah, dat was da best da of me life," he remember their one year anniversary like it was yesterday.

"Well...," she leads off as his face drops knowing what the news was.

"Ya pregnant?" she nods. Her face falls once she sees his shocked expression.

"Are you upset?"

"Dis is gonna ruin so much," he murmured even though she could hear it. "Can't ya get rid of it?"

"Of course not! I'm not murdering my- our kid," she enphasized the 'our'.

He sighs dramatically before continuing, "I can't be a dad. I can barely support meself! We can't do dis- I'm not doin' dis," he walked out of the alley with no more words spoken. A silent tear rolled down her cheek knowing he's not coming back.

She wiped her cheek before walking to Brooklyn trying to avoid every person she can. Once she reaches the lodging house, she runs inside avoiding all the boys, and goes to her room locking the door. She curls up on her bed facing the wall and letting everything out.

She couldn't believe Race would just walk out. She understood where he was coming from, but she knew he was overreacting. After all, this child is his, too.

She heard a knock on the door, but didn't bother getting up.

"Lightenin', open up," her brother called. She tried her best to make it look like she wasn't crying. She walked to the door and opened it before turning around and sitting on her bed again.

"What do ya want?" she asked already wanting him to go away.

"What'd Race do?" Spot jumped to conclusions.

"He- he broke up with me," she whispered as more tears fell from her eyes. He, only showing his soft side to his little sister, walked over to her letting her cry in his shoulder.

"Why'd he do a stupid thin' like dat?" Spot pressed on.

"Because, I'm," she stopped not wanting to tell him knowing he'll be even more upset. "I'm pregnant," she breathed out.

"It's okay. I'm more upset dat he left ya for dat," Spot comforted her. "I know you'd neva want ta get rid of it, so I'll help ya since dat little-"

"Spot," she warned him. Even though all she wanted to do was belittle and curse Race, she knew it wasn't right. Another person knocked on the door, this time Spot answering the door.

"What do ya want?" he asked anger evident in his voice. She didn't know who he was talking to, but she knew Spot was about to snap. She could see his jaw clench and him tighten his knuckles. She walked to the door before he could try anything. She touched Spot's shoulder, making him calm down.

"Tera, I need ta talk to ya," the person at the door said. She knew that familiar voice, and, turning her head, she saw Race standing there. She smiled to Spot letting him know she's okay. Spot walked out of her room as Race followed her in. They sat on her bed as she waited for him to speak up.

"What do you need to say. You gave me an earful earlier," she spat looking anywhere except him.

"I know an' I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said any of dat. I can tell ya happy 'bout da baby, so I will be, too. I don't want ta lose ya," he placed his hand on hers. She looked up at him seeing the sincerity in his eyes. "Please, Tera," he finished waiting for her to answer him.

She loved him, she really did,  but how does she know he won't leave again? How does she know he's telling the truth?

"Will you be here for the baby?" she asked.

"Of course. I'm not leavin'," he told her. "I love ya, Tera," he said it for the first time. She knew she believed him once he said those three little words. She brought her lips to his giving him his answer.

"I love you, too."
