Free A Hood Fairytale: Ayce & Ava by Rain Page A

tip of the pregnancy test in it. Setting the test on the tub, I flushed the rest of the pee and read the rest of the directions. I had to wait three minutes before I read the test, but I looked at it anyway because I wanted to make sure it was working. The word ‘Pregnant’ appeared on the little screen and my heart rate immediately sped up. Shit, I can't be pregnant. How was I going to reign in these streets if I am pregnant? No way Ayce would allow that to happen.
    “Shit, shit, shit.”
     
    Boom, Boom, Boom!
     
    Ashley knocking at the door caused me to jump a little.
    “Stop banging on my damn doors like that,” I said opening the door with the test in my hand, but it wasn't Ashley; this time it was Ayce.
     

Chapter 18
    Ayce
     
    Since Ava hadn't bothered to call me almost all day, I decided to go to her. I didn't know if she was at her house or not, but I figured I would start there. When I pulled into the driveway I saw a car I had never seen before. Whoever car it was would need four new tires. I could see Ava's car parked in front of that car, so I knew she was home. I walked up to the door and knocked on it. It took a while for someone to answer it, but it wasn't Ava, it was Ashley. I knew Ashley from school. She transferred to our school from some school in Compton and she and Ava became good friends, but I wasn't in their mix like that.
    “What's up Ayce,” she said opening the door wider for me to walk in.
    “What's good, where is Ava?”
    “She’s in the bathroom.”
    “Is that your Nissan out there?”
    “Yeah?”
    “All four of your tires are flat.”
    She ran out the door to access the damage before she got on the phone.
    I walked over to the bathroom and listened for a minute. If she was puking again I didn't want to see that shit.
    “Shit, shit, shit,” I heard her yell, so I started knocking on the door.
    “Stop banging on my damn doors like that,” she said as she opened the door, but my eyes were focused on what was in her hand.  I didn't ask no questions, just grabbed the test out of her hand. Looking down at the test I saw it read ‘Pregnant’. I looked at her and then back to the test. I hadn't planned on being a father right now, but I was excited.
    “I’mma be a daddy. You see this shit?” I said showing her the test.
    I grabbed her and held her close to me.
    “Baby, I promise you, you and my child are taken care of and not because Duce your daddy, but because I'm your man and that's my seed you carrying.”
    I looked down at her, but she didn't look too happy.
    “What's wrong baby, why you look so disappointed?”
    She walked by me and into the kitchen and up the stairs. I followed behind her and sat on the edge of her bed.
    “I'm not disappointed, just in shock,” she said rubbing her flat stomach.
    I pulled her on my lap and put my hands over hers.
    “Since you’re going to be a mother now, we need to talk about some things.”
    “I'm only two minutes pregnant and I knew we were going to have this talk. Not now, I don't want to talk about it right now,” she said moving off my lap.
    I just sat and looked at her. I could give a fuck about her wanting to run the streets, she was going to be a mother now and it’s time for her to calm that shit down.
    “Fine, we'll talk about it later, but while you are carrying my seed you need to sit yo’ ass down and chill out,” I said walking over to her.
    “And that's not up for discussion.” I watched her as she sat in stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, pouting like a big ass baby.
    I can admit I was excited and scared at the same time, but I just want to do right by my family. I was going to start by taking them to get some food.
    “We ain't been out in a while, let's go get something to eat because I'm starving and since you don't cook, I have to eat somewhere, right?” I said laughing.
    “Ha, ha, I am hungry as hell too, but I don't know if I can keep it down.”
    “You can't starve the baby, so get
