emotions were going haywire; I heard that happens when you're pregnant.
     
    "No, because I'll end up saying something I regret and then I'll have to beg for your forgiveness, which is something I don't want to do," he sighed. The ride was silent for awhile, he wouldn't even let me turn the radio on to get rid of the awkwardness. "It reminds me too much of our first date, and if I hear you singing I'll forget about my anger. Just let me hang onto it for awhile," and that was the end of that.
     
    An agonizingly long hour later we pulled up to a drug store. He went to get out of the car and I just sat there. He leaned his head back down to the car. "Are you coming or what?"
     
    "I don't have to pee."
     
    "I don't care, drink something then."
     
    "I don't have anything to drink," I told him. He rolled his eyes.
     
    "In case you haven't noticed, we're at a store. I'm sure you can find something to drink, Princess," he flinched after he said princess. He had been starting to call me that lately as a term of endearment.
     
    "Well since you said it so nicely," I said and got out of the car. We walked in and went to the pop aisle first. Mountain Dew always made me have to pee so I got one. Then I followed Isaiah down the pregnancy aisle. When we got to the tests his eyes got wide.
     
    "How many of these fucking things do they need?" He groaned. I picked out one that was digital and would spell out 'yes' or 'no' so he wouldn't have a problem understanding it. We walked around, going separate ways for awhile before I felt like I could finally pee. We went up to the counter and Isaiah paid for both my drink and my test and bought him some cigarettes. "I'd get you some but if you really are pregnant, there's no way you're smoking," he told me and gave the woman behind the counter a smile to die for. She blushed and smiled back. My body went cold and the same feeling I had when I thought about other women with Isaiah came back. Jealousy.
     
    I quickly turned and stormed away to the bathroom. On all our dates, all our times out of the apartment, which after having sex were few and far between, he never even paid attention to other girls. And that he was doing so now, bugged me more than I thought would be possible.
     
    I took my fourth test for that day and waited. As I suspected a big 'yes,' came up on the screen. I grabbed it and took it out of the bathroom with me. Isaiah was waiting outside the door, one hip leaning on the wall. I gave it to him. I watched his expression closely. At first there was nothing and then, very slowly a smile appeared and quickly disappeared. He looked up at me, and I saw fear. "This child is going to have a screwed up life Delilah. You know that right?"
     
    "Maybe, but it will be loved. We can do the best we're able to do," I said. I wanted to pull him to me, to hug him tight, to just feel him against me, but I knew I had to wait until he came to me because I didn't want to be rejected. He sighed, threw the pregnancy test down and came to me, doing to me what I wanted to do to him. He held me tight and stroked my hair. Before I could latch onto him though, he pulled away. His eyes were still cold. I sighed.
     
    "I do love you Isaiah, that's one thing I never lied about," I said quietly. He sighed and put his hand on my face.
     
    "We'll work this out," his voice was soft. "I love you Princess, but I'm still extremely pissed and hurt right now, that's going to take awhile to get over," he said quietly. I nodded.
     
    "I understand," I put my hand over his before he pulled it away.
     
    "Come on, let's just drive, I don't know what we're going to do right now, but as long as we get away from here, we'll be good for awhile," he said. I nodded and followed him to the car. He opened my door for me and when we were both settled we took off, not knowing where we were going to go.

    After we left the store Isaiah let me turn the radio on. He went to reach for my
