~TUPAC POV~

I park the car by Amira's house and she tries to get out but I stop her.

"There is blood all over your clothes." I remind her.

"Oh, shit." She says trying to wipe it off. But its already stained.

"Here put my hoodie on."

I throw it to her and she puts it on. Its a little too big for her.

"Thanks for saving me." Amira mumbles when I drop her off at her house.

"No problem shawty." I reply.

"Remember to give that sweater back. It was expensive." I joke.

"Its a gap sweater. I can get this for 9.99." She says giving me that are-you-stupid face.

I snicker and she rolls her eyes.

She walked into her house and when she closed the door, I drove off. It was dark out by now. I wonder how everyone is.

I really gotta call Khalil. I bet he wondering where I been. He is gonna shit himself when he hears.

~AMIRA POV~

When I walk in, the house is quiet and empty. Odd, Manny would always jump to the door to greet me. Oh wait, I left him with his dog sitter. I take a deep breath in and I feel the comfortable feeling you get when you're home after a long day.

I move from the door and I make my way upstairs. I sit on my bed exhausted. I unzip Tupac's sweater and I start taking off the "Wedding dress."

It hurt to move every muscle. I just wanted to sleep forever.

I didn't know what to do with the dress. I threw it on my bed and stared at it for a while. I guess I could bury it later. For now, its going under my bed. I throw it there.

The doorbell rings as i'm putting on my pajamas. I pull my shirt over my head and rush to the door.

I hesitate to touch the doorknob. Who could it be?

"Who is it?" I ask suspiciously.

"Its the um, the dog sitter." I hear a voice that sounds a lot like Steve Urkel reply.

I open the door and I see the 17 year old I hired standing there smiling with her braces.

Manny jumps on me excitedly.

"Mrs. (bleep), I thought you specifically told me that you would be home by 1 pm today, but when I came then, I didn't see you home. So I called and no one answered. I decided it was my duty to take care of Manny for a few more hours."

"Sorry Lisa, I will make sure to pay you extra. Let me just get my wallet..." I trail.

Manny follows me around as I search for my wallet. Its like he knew what I was looking for, and came back with my wallet in his mouth.

"Good boy." I say petting him. His tail wags happily.

I pay Lisa and thank her.

I close the door and I plop on the couch. Manny joins me and rest his head on my lap.

"I missed you so much." I sigh.

My phone rings and I pick it up.

"Hello?"

"WHERE WERE YOU AT 3?! THE DIRECTORS WERE GONNA FINISH THE MOVIE TODAY! TODAY! BUT NEITHER YOU OR TUPAC DECIDE TO SHOW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DOES TO US?" Chloe yells in my ear.

"Yes ma'am." I gulp.

"Im happy you're aware of that Amira. Now, where you been? I wanna know what was more important to you than your career."

"Um...Out with Tupac." I say casually.

Chloe is silent on the other end of the phone and I make that please-don't-kill-me-face."

"I will give you one more chance Amira, or you're fired. So be there tomorrow morning at 10." Chloe concludes.

"Thank you. I wouldn't dream of being late." I desperately say.

"Good to know we have an understanding. I love you." She says.

"Yeah yeah." I reply.

"Night."

"Night." I say hanging up.

I scoot Manny off me and I head to my bed. Manny follows me on my bed and snuggles against me. I realize i'm sitting on Tupac's sweater and I put it on. It smelled like weed all over it. But it was warm and I liked it.

"Im home, safe, warm, and happy." I tell Manny.

We fall asleep together. I never knew how amazing sleep could be.

__________________________

I wake up with slobber all over me. Manny keeps licking me.

"Okay okay." I say trying to swat him away.

I sit up and open my eyes. To my surprise, I see Tupac sitting at the edge of my bed. I move back a bit.

"How-Why-What?" I muster half asleep.

"You really shouldn't keep your door unlocked." He said smiling.

"Oh, um oopsie." I say.

I pat my hair down and move it away from my face.

I look at my clock.

"its 2 in the morning!" I exclaim.

"What I have to tell you, is something I can't just say over the phone." He says scooting closer.

"You could have just waited until morning." I say.

"Are you drunk?" I ask squinting my eyes.

"Naah, naah."

"Well then, say what you gotta say." I demand.

"You remember how I asked you if you were pregnant later today. Or yesterday. " He said.

"Yeah..."

"Well I was thinking about it a lot. And I realized that I actually didn't want kids."

"So you come here, in my house, while i'm half asleep, just to tell me to not get pregnant by you?" I say sarcastically.

"No, I came because I changed my mind about that." He replies.

I glance at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

"Not if you don't want to." He says quickly.

A smile spreads across my face slowly like when a tree sprouts its first branches. This was progress for us.

I stuff my pillow over my chest and get comfortable.

"What made you change your mind?" I ask.

"I was hiding my journal from you because I actually did get a woman pregnant. And I... didn't want you to see." He said.

I nodded not very surprised. I pressed my pillow against my chest harder.

"But she had a miscarriage, and it devastated me. I still haven't gotten over it. I really could have had a son of my own." He said sadly.

"But, I can't live my life moping around over a son that hadn't even taken a breath of air. So I want to have a real son I can raise." He finished.

"And you wanna have one with me?" I whisper.

"Yeah."

I touch his hand and I see he is crying. I pull him close to me. I cry with him.

When we calm down we are lying on my bed.

"You do know the consequences right?" I ask.

"Yeah. You complaining that you're hungry and shit." He answers looking up at me.

"Do you really think thats the only thing pregnant people do?"

"Yeah im sure."

"So you do know you won't be getting sex for 9 months?" I say.

"Get outta here."

"No, seriously." I laugh.

"Then you better make the last one we have real good. No sissy stuff." He said sternly.

I burst out giggling.

"But... maybe next year. My life is too busy for babies right now." I say.

"Damn girl, here you go getting my hopes up high."

"Gosh, im sorry I have a life." I joke.

"I'm not even supposed to be seeing you right now." I say.

"Why?"

"Because, Chloe forbid me." I sigh.

"You shouldn't let her boss you around." Tupac tells me.

"Well, she's my boss. I have no choice." I say.

"Then we won't tell her." He says.

He brings my face close to his and we kiss. Manny jumps in joining our kiss with his licks.

"That dog need a leash." Tupac sighs frustrated.
