Chapter 12
Nick woke up the next morning to the sound of his phone ringing. “Hello?” he said in a groggy voice. “Nick, where the hell are you?! Kevin said you weren’t in class this morning!”
Nick heard Michelle yell into his ear on the other end of phone. Nick looked at the time and it was 9:30 in the morning. He had a 7:30 class that morning and he just missed it. He also has to be in to work at 10am. Nick said a curse as he rubbed his face trying to wake up.
“Nick?...Nick?!” Michelle yelled into the phone.
“What? I hear you.” Nick said into the phone feeling agitated.
“Then answer me, where are you?”
“Look, I’ll call you back. I have to go to work.” Nick said and ended the call.
Nick said another curse feeling very annoyed and frustrated he missed his morning class. He really needed to be in class that morning. This made him say another curse as he quickly got dressed. He thought about Selena. If he had just went to sleep instead of messing around with her and staying up all night thinking about her, he wouldn’t have over slept.
Selena woke up when she heard Nick’s phone ring thru out the house. When she opened her eyes, Jaylen’s little feet were right in her face. She let out a small chuckle realizing how wild Jaylen sleeps. Selena sat up as she ran her fingers thru her hair. For a second she had forgotten where she was. She then felt heart ache when she remembered how Nick had turned her down last night. She took a deep breath looking down at Jaylen who was slowly waking up. He rolled over on his stomach and looked around the bedroom. It was as if he was trying to realize where he was. Selena gently tapped his little butt, saying “Good morning my little cutie patootie.”
Jaylen turned to look back at Selena with a tired smile on his face.
Selena then leaned forward and gave him many little kisses on his face while tickling him.
He laughed.
Once Selena stopped, he immediately hopped up looking for Mr. Bubbles his stuffed dinosaur. Selena smiled thinking how it doesn’t take much for him to suddenly be wide awake. “Are you hungry?” she asked him.
“Yeah.” Jaylen responded as he rubbed his eyes.
“Okay, let’s go see what we can find to eat in Nick’s kitchen. Why don’t you go watch tv.”
“Mm’kay.” Jaylen said quietly as he walked into the living room sitting in Nick’s favorite chair.
Selena turned the tv on for Jaylen and turned to the cartoon network. She then walked into Nick’s kitchen searching thru his cabinets. She saw that he had some cheerios in his cabinet. She looked back at Jaylen and asked, “Cheerios sound good?”
“Mm-hmm.” Jaylen said quietly as he looked at the tv.
Selena fixed him a bowl of cereal. She then had him come over to the table to eat. “Can you stay here, while mommy takes a shower?” “Mm-hmm.” He responded.
“Okay. If you need anything come get me or Nick. He is upstairs, okay?”
“Mm-hmm.” Jaylen nodded.
Several minutes later, with her hair still wet from her shower, Selena walked out of her bedroom wearing a loosely fitted gray t-shirt and dark blue jean shorts. She saw Nick pouring himself a glass of juice as he spoke to Jaylen who was still eating his cereal. Selena thought Nick looked handsome as usual. He wore his work uniform which was a navy blue shirt and pants.
Nick had what they call a rough neck job. He worked as a welding engineer. As soon as Nick graduates from college with his degree and certifications, he was sure to get a huge raise at his job and really start banking.
Nick looked up at Selena as he began drinking his juice.
“Hey.” She said to Nick.
Nick didn't respond. He only looked toward her way briefly.
Selena walked over to Jaylen telling him to stop playing and finish his cereal.
“I gotta go.” Nick said dryly. He took his house key off of his key chain and laid it on the kitchen counter. “The key is right here.” He said without looking at Selena. Nick then walked over to Jaylen giving him a kiss on the crown of his head and ruffling his fingers thru his hair saying, “See you later, buddy. Be good okay?”
“Mm’kay.” Jaylen responded.
He then glanced at Selena with a blank expression and walked out the door. Selena frowned not understanding his mood or attitude toward her. Why was he acting like that? Selena wondered. Was he having regrets about them making out last night? This made Selena slightly angry and more so hurt.

Kevin Jonas
“Yo! Nick! Dude! I haven’t heard from your ass all weekend, bro. I know it was you and Michelle’s anniversary and all, but damn. You guys were locked in a room all weekend?” Kevin asked wearing a huge smile on his face as he walked into the large break room where he and Nick worked.
Nick sighed. “I got issues, bro.” Nick said to his best friend Kevin.
Kevin joined Nick by sitting at the same table with him. “What’s going on, man?”
“Well for one…I found out over the weekend that I have a 3 yr old kid. A son.”
Kevin only stared at him for a moment. He then finally said with a huge smile on his face, “Get the heck outta here!” He laughed loudly.
Nick didn’t laugh or even crack a smile.
Kevin's laugh died down and his smile quickly faded when he realized Nick wasn’t laughing with him.
Nick's expression remained serious.
Kevin tried to laugh again hoping Nick was still joking, but Nick remained silent with a blank expression. Kevin finally began to believe him. “Dude…for real?”
“Yeah.”
“Woah. A three year old? Dude, who you been smushing? What did Michelle’s spoiled ass say?” Kevin said without sincerity.
“Remember the girl I couldn’t stop talking about when I came back from New York a long time ago? The girl I was hung up on for a whole year after my stepbrother’s funeral?”
“You mean the same chick who dumped you without telling you?” Kevin asked in shock.
“Yeah, her.” Nick said solemnly.
“Dude, you didn’t tell me you hit that!”
Nick looked annoyingly at Kevin.
“Im sorry. So, you’re telling me you got her knocked up?”
“Apparently so.”
“Yo, that is wild, bro! What did Michelle say?”
“She doesn’t think he is mine.”
Kevin laughed. “How can she say that, did she see a picture of him or something?”
“No, she actually saw him.”
Kevin frowned with confusion.
“He’s here. Selena brought him here.” Nick responded.
Kevin’s eyes went wide. “No way! So not only did she dropped a bomb on you saying that you two have a 3 yr old son together, but she brought him here so you can meet him?! Wow!”
“She’s still here.”
“What do you mean?”
“She’s at my place.”
“What!?”
Nick then filled him in on as to why she was still in town and how she will be staying with him.
“What did Michelle say about Selena staying with you?” Kevin said still in disbelief.
“She doesn’t know yet.” Nick responded.
“Dude, she is gonna hit the roof!” Kevin paused and cocked his head to the side as he looked at Nick. “Did you…did you hit that last night?”
Nick only stared at Kevin with a blank expression.
Kevin began laughing. “Dude you’re so fucked up!”
“Shut up Kevin. No…I did not ‘hit that’ last night.” Nick said mocking Kevin. He then continued quietly, “However…I almost did.”
“Dude, you’re so gonna be belly smacking with your baby mama! The girl you've always loved. What are you going to do about Michelle?”
“I don’t know. It was a mistake. Things could have really gotten out of hand with Selena last night. It just shouldn’t have happened.” Nick said burying his head into his hands in deep thoughts.
“Dude, why not? Is she still fine like in those pictures you showed me?” Kevin asked with a smirk.
“She looks even better.” Nick admitted.
“AND YOU DIDN’T HIT THAT?!” Kevin shouted in shock.
Nick looked up at his friend and threw his apple at him.
Kevin laughed just as he barely caught the apple. “Okay okay…chill out. So what stopped you?”
“Oh right, have sex with Selena and end up getting her pregnant again, and not knowing I have another child for another three years? Selena is messing with my brain right now, and I can’t keep falling for her while she keeps feeding me lies on how she feels about me or disappearing on me.” Nick said in deep thoughts. “I’m in a fucked up situation, bro.”
Kevin chuckled. “Duh, bro…use a condom this time.” Kevin burst out into laughter as Nick threw a small bag of chips at him.
Nick sighed. “I got issues, bro.” Nick said to his best friend Kevin.
Kevin joined Nick by sitting at the same table with him. “What’s going on, man?”
“Well for one…I found out over the weekend that I have a 3 yr old kid. A son.”

Part 2
Ashley Galano
Michelle walked with her best friend Ashley Galano around the hospital parking lot where Ashley worked. Ashley was a nurse’s assistant. Michelle filled in Ashley about her weekend with Nick and his baby mama drama. “Wow.” Ashley said in shock. “That’s crazy, Michelle.”
“I know.”
“So what is it that you want me to do?”
“I need to know if Nick is really that child’s father. This girl is ruining our relationship! If this child is not Nick’s, he will have no ties to her and he can just let her go! We can get married as planned.”
“Wait, married? I didn’t know you two were getting married.”
“No, not officially but at least in my head…keep up with me, Ash.” Michelle snapped.
“Well, you’re going to have to get me a sample of Nick’s DNA and the child’s. Other than that, I can’t help you.” Ashley said to Michelle as she smacked her gum.
“And how can I do that?”
“You stick them both with a small needle. They wont even feel it.”
“Ashely…duh…the little boy is no longer here! That bitch went home.” Michelle said speaking of Selena.
“Then I don’t know what to tell you Michelle. It’s out of my hands. Unless…you go to New York.”
“What? No way!”
“Well, Michelle, I don’t know what to tell you.”
“Ugh! Ashley you’re no help!” Michelle said angrily. She then paused and thought for a moment. “What about your cousin, Vinny?”
“What about him?”
“Can he help in any way?”
“I’ll check…but I can’t make any promises. He’s too busy trying to be a gangster.” Ashley laughed at the thought of her cousin trying to be a bad ass who lives in New York.
“Fine. Just get back with me as soon as possible.” Michelle said annoyed and marched off.
------------
Selena and Jaylen had been out for a while exploring the city. She stayed on the phone with her mom majority of the day wondering if there was any update on Mr. Big getting caught. But there was no such news.
“Just be safe, honey. And give my grandson tons of kisses for me.” Selena’s mom said into the phone.
“I will. Talk to you later.” Selena said and ended the call. Selena pulled Jaylen up into her arms and attacked him with kisses. “This is from grandmommy!” Selena said.
Jaylen laughed and tried to squirm away. He then got aggravated that he couldn’t get free and started to whine. “Noooo mommyyyy.”
Selena finally let him go. “Oh alright.” Selena smiled.
They made their way into the store to pick up food that Jaylen would like since Nick didn’t have many snacks. It was getting late and Selena knew that Nick would probably be home soon, so she made her way back to his house since she had his house key. Selena got Jaylen out of the car and left the groceries in the car to come back and get it. As she opened the door, There stood Michelle in the middle of the room, posing sexy with absolutely no clothes on. The only thing she was wearing were her shiny red stiletto shoes.
Michelle screamed in horror when she saw it wasn’t Nick.
Selena quickly picked up Jaylen to cover his eyes from Michelle’s naked body.
-------------
Nick and Kevin were walking to their cars as they got off work when Kevin asked, “Dude, so what are you going to do?”
“I don't know. I love Selena but I love Michelle too.”
“Dude, you can’t love two people.”
“Why not?”
“Dude, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Do you really think they are gonna be like, ‘its okay Nick, be with Michelle tonite, and come smush me tomorrow.” Kevin said imitating a female’s voice.
Nick laughed.
“Bro, you need to pick one. Although, a threesome with those two females would be hot! How does Selena look again?”
“Sexy as hell. The little weight that she gained from having Jaylen went into her hips and ass, which is the way I like it.” Nick smiled as he thought about Selena.
“So when are you going to hurt one of their feelings and dump ‘em?”
Nick playfully shoved Kevin away from him. “Get outta here! Talk to you later, man!” Nick said and walked to his car.
Just as Nick got into his car, his cell phone rung. It was Michelle calling.
“Hey.” He answered.
“What the hell is Selena still doing here and with a key to your fucking house!?”
“I know.”
“So what is it that you want me to do?”
“I need to know if Nick is really that child’s father. This girl is ruining our relationship! If this child is not Nick’s, he will have no ties to her and he can just let her go! We can get married as planned.”

Chapter 13
Selena and Jaylen were back inside of Nick’s house. She had already put the food she had bought from the grocery store into Nick’s cabinets and refrigerator. Selena started to make dinner as Jaylen kept complaining he was hungry. Selena hadn’t seen Michelle since she ran up stairs out of embarrassment. Selena couldn’t believe she was staying locked up there until Nick came home. This was going to be interesting, Selena thought to herself.
Jaylen sat around the kitchen table playing with his toy cars and making loud noises as little boys would play.
“How about some chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner?” Selena asked Jaylen.
“Eww…no chicken…no bockly.”
“Well, too bad, you’re going to eat some anyway.” Selena said as she prepared to make it. Jaylen likes chicken and rice, he was just being a boy wanting to say ‘ew’ to everything at the moment.
Minutes later, Nick walked thru the door. “Hey.” Nick said looking at Selena and then looking around for Michelle.
“Niiiick!” Jaylen said and rushed up to him.
“Hey buddy!” Nick said picking Jaylen up.
“Guess what?”
“What?” Nick asked with a smile.
“I saw a nay-kid lady today.”
“Jaylen!” Selena quickly called out to him not wanting him to talk about it.
“So I heard.” Nick said flatly as he put Jaylen back down on his feet.
Jaylen immediately ran back to playing with his toys at the table.
Nick looked at Selena not sure what to say.
“She’s been upstairs waiting for you the whole time.” Selena said in a dry tone. She then turned around to finish cooking dinner.
Nick gently ruffled his fingers thru Jaylen’s hair as he walked past him and rushed up stairs.
Michelle was sitting on his bed wearing one of his t-shirts. Michelle glared at him as he walked thru the door.
Nick took a deep breath preparing himself for Michelle's harsh words. “Hey.” Nick said softly as he closed the door behind him.
“I am so pissed at you right now Nick. Do you know how embarrassed I am right now?”
Nick sat down beside Michelle placing his arm around her shoulders.
Michelle forcefully removed his arm from around her.
“Im sorry.” Nick said softly.
“When were you going to tell me that you are allowing her to stay here with you?”
“When the time was right.”
“I don’t like it, Nick. I don’t like it one bit.” Michelle said as she looked down at her hands clasped together.
Nick moved her hair behind her ear to see her profile clearly.
“I want to stay here too. I mean it’s only right.” Michelle said as she looked over at him.
“No. You can’t. Please, don’t make this awkward.” Nick said calmly trying not to hurt her feelings.
Michelle laughed out loud in disbelief. “Don’t make this awkward? You’re basically living with your child’s mother, who you use to be in love with... And Im making this awkward as your current girlfriend?”
Nick didn’t respond.
“Are you still in love with her?”
“No.” Nick quickly answered. “I mean…I dunno.” He slowly retracted his answer.
“You don’t know?!” Michelle shouted.
Michelle stood up and put her jeans on. She then took off his tshirt and threw it hard into his face. Nick flinched and caught the shirt. “Fuck you, Nicholas! After everything I have done for you! I have been there for you, when that bitch hasn’t! Now all of a sudden you’re jumping thru hoops for her!?!” she said as she put her top back on.
Nick stood up trying to calm her.
“No, don’t touch me. I can’t believe you just let her come back into your life after what she’s done to you.”
“Its not like that Michelle. I told you about Mr. Big. I don’t need my son’s life to be in danger. So what am I supposed to do, let his mother stay out there and get hurt?”
“He’s probably not even your son!” Michelle shouted.
Nick glared at her. “Stop saying that! You don’t know shit!” Nick yelled loudly in frustration as he rushed toward Michelle in anger.
Michelle was frightened by his outburst of anger as she backed away from him.
Nick saw the fear and shock in Michelle’s eyes. He quickly calmed down and turned away from her.
Michelle started to cry as she grabbed for her other belongings and rushed out of his bedroom door.
“Michelle!” Nick called after her. He started to feel bad.
Michelle ran down the stairs and rushed past Selena and Jaylen. However on her way out the door, she tripped up on one of Jaylen's toys on the floor. Michelle mumbled a curse and stormed out the house without looking or saying a word to Selena or Jaylen.
Nick rushed down stairs after Michelle and ran out the door to follow her.
Jaylen looked at Selena confused and wondered what was going on. Selena shrugged her shoulders.
“Hey, why don’t you go in the bedroom and play.” Selena said wiping her hands clean. She then walked around the counter to help Jaylen pick up his toys.
“Aww…I don’t wanna.”
“Yes, do what mommy says, okay?”
“Noooo.”
“Jaylen, what did I say? Pick up your toys and go in the room.”
Jaylen started to cry not wanting to go in the other room.
Selena bent down to his level and looked him in the eye, “Hey! Stop it! Do what I told you to do, before you get a spanking.”
Jaylen stopped crying and started to pout.
Selena escorted Jaylen into their bedroom and closed the door as she left out of the room. She saw Nick walking back up stairs by himself with his head hanging low. 'Does this mean that their relationship is over?' Selena wondered. 'Does this mean that Nick can be all mine now?' Selena smiled at the thought.
Jaylen sat around the kitchen table playing with his toy cars and making loud noises as little boys would play.
“How about some chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner?” Selena asked Jaylen.
“Eww…no chicken…no bockly.”
“Well, too bad, you’re going to eat some anyway.” Selena said as she prepared to make it. Jaylen likes chicken and rice, he was just being a boy wanting to say ‘ew’ to everything at the moment.

“Hey buddy!” Nick said picking Jaylen up.
“Guess what?”
“What?” Nick asked with a smile.
“I saw a nay-kid lady today.”
“Jaylen!” Selena quickly called out to him not wanting him to talk about it.
“So I heard.” Nick said flatly as he put Jaylen back down on his feet.
Jaylen immediately ran back to playing with his toys at the table.
Nick looked at Selena not sure what to say.
“She’s been upstairs waiting for you the whole time.” Selena said in a dry tone. She then turned around to finish cooking dinner.
Nick gently ruffled his fingers thru Jaylen’s hair as he walked past him and rushed up stairs.

“No. You can’t. Please, don’t make this awkward.” Nick said calmly trying not to hurt her feelings.
Michelle laughed out loud in disbelief. “Don’t make this awkward? You’re basically living with your child’s mother, who you use to be in love with... And Im making this awkward as your current girlfriend?”
Nick didn’t respond.
“Are you still in love with her?”
“No.” Nick quickly answered. “I mean…I dunno.” He slowly retracted his answer.
“You don’t know?!” Michelle shouted.
Michelle stood up and put her jeans on. She then took off his tshirt and threw it hard into his face. Nick flinched and caught the shirt. “Fuck you, Nicholas! After everything I have done for you! I have been there for you, when that bitch hasn’t! Now all of a sudden you’re jumping thru hoops for her!?!” she said as she put her top back on.
Nick stood up trying to calm her.
“No, don’t touch me. I can’t believe you just let her come back into your life after what she’s done to you.”
“Its not like that Michelle. I told you about Mr. Big. I don’t need my son’s life to be in danger. So what am I supposed to do, let his mother stay out there and get hurt?”
“He’s probably not even your son!” Michelle shouted.
Nick glared at her. “Stop saying that! You don’t know shit!” Nick yelled loudly in frustration as he rushed toward Michelle in anger.
Michelle was frightened by his outburst of anger as she backed away from him.
Nick saw the fear and shock in Michelle’s eyes. He quickly calmed down and turned away from her.
Michelle started to cry as she grabbed for her other belongings and rushed out of his bedroom door.
“Michelle!” Nick called after her. He started to feel bad.
Michelle ran down the stairs and rushed past Selena and Jaylen. However on her way out the door, she tripped up on one of Jaylen's toys on the floor. Michelle mumbled a curse and stormed out the house without looking or saying a word to Selena or Jaylen.
Nick rushed down stairs after Michelle and ran out the door to follow her.
Jaylen looked at Selena confused and wondered what was going on. Selena shrugged her shoulders.
“Hey, why don’t you go in the bedroom and play.” Selena said wiping her hands clean. She then walked around the counter to help Jaylen pick up his toys.
“Aww…I don’t wanna.”
“Yes, do what mommy says, okay?”
“Noooo.”
“Jaylen, what did I say? Pick up your toys and go in the room.”
Jaylen started to cry not wanting to go in the other room.
Selena bent down to his level and looked him in the eye, “Hey! Stop it! Do what I told you to do, before you get a spanking.”
Jaylen stopped crying and started to pout.
Selena escorted Jaylen into their bedroom and closed the door as she left out of the room. She saw Nick walking back up stairs by himself with his head hanging low. 'Does this mean that their relationship is over?' Selena wondered. 'Does this mean that Nick can be all mine now?' Selena smiled at the thought.
Part 2
Jaylen ran down the stairs as fast as his little legs would take him and ran to the kitchen table to have a seat. Selena placed his plate of food in front of him. He looked down at the broccoli and rice and said, “Eeeww. I want chicken nuggets.”
Selena rolled her eyes. “Well there is your chicken, now eat you little nugget,” she smiled and ruffled his hair on his head. She walked around the kitchen counter to walk back into the kitchen for his juice. “Is Nick coming down?” she asked Jaylen.
“Mm-hmm.” Jaylen said as he started to pick at the chicken on his plate.
As Selena placed Jaylen’s juice on the table, she saw Nick coming down the stairs. It was obvious to Selena that he had taken a shower because his hair looked to be still wet and she could smell his fresh spring soap. He now wore a white tank top and red sweat pants. Nick walked up to Jaylen and ruffled his fingers thru his hair. “What you got, buddy?”
“Chicken!” Jaylen said in a sing song voice.
Nick walked into the kitchen where Selena was standing over by the stove. They didn’t speak to each other. Nick grabbed a beer out of the refrigerator and opened it.
Selena cleared her throat and spoke softly. “I made enough for you if you were hungry. I mean, I didn’t know if you had any plans or not.” “Thanks.” Nick said dryly as he looked over the food sitting on the stove.
“I can make your plate…if …you want me to…?” Selena hesitated.
“Nah, I got it.” Nick replied coldly still not looking at her.
Selena made her plate and sat down at the table with Jaylen.
“Nick, you eat eat?” Jaylen asked as he moved around in his chair making a mess with his chicken.
“Jaylen, sweetie, sit still and eat your food.” Selena said wanting Jaylen to leave Nick alone.
“Yes sir, I am going to eat. Im coming.” Nick said cheerfully to Jaylen.
It wasn’t long when Nick joined Jaylen and Selena at the dinner table.
--Selena's Point Of View--
I sat there eating my food quietly as I watched Nick and Jaylen interact with each other. Whenever I chimed in to say something, Nick wouldn’t even look at me. It was like he was ignoring me the whole time. I felt very unwelcomed. It was like he didn’t mind Jaylen being there…but me…not so much. I guess he was upset over what happened with he and Michelle. I suddenly lost my appetite. With my plate half full, I stood up from my chair walking away from the table and threw the rest of my food away in the kitchen trash.
“Mommy u done eat eat?” Jaylen asked innocently.
Without looking back at him, I answered, “Yes, but that doesn’t mean you are. So finish eating, okay?” I took a deep breath.
Maybe staying here wasn’t a good idea after all. I felt like Nick was being so mean to me. I figure, I might as well stay here until I can find somewhere else to stay. Until then, I guess I will try to stay out of his way. I felt my eyes begin to fill with tears.
“Mommy, I don’t want no more.” I heard Jaylen begin to whine. “Can I go play?”
I wiped my eyes before turning around to see his plate. “Can you take two more bites, please?”
Jaylen began to whine not wanting to eat no more.
That’s when Nick jumped in and said a few comforting words to Jaylen. Before I knew it, Jaylen took a few more bites of his food.
Jaylen raised his hands up and said, “Done!”
“Alright! High five!” Nick said holding his palm up so Jaylen would give him a high five. Jaylen did just so, and hopped off his chair to go play.
I walked around the kitchen counter and grabbed Jaylen’s plate off the table without looking at Nick. I then walked back into the kitchen to clean everything up.
As I stood over the sink washing dishes, Nick approached me standing close to me as he lowered his empty plate into the sink. “You know I have a dishwasher. You don’t have to wash dishes.”
“It’s whatever. I do this at home anyway.” I said without looking at him. I thought he was going to walk away, but instead he remained standing close to me. I could feel his eyes burning into me. I looked up at him and sure enough, his eyes were burning into me. “What?” I asked annoyed. I heard Nick take a deep breath, and started to walk away, “Nothing.”
I watched him walk away from me and walk toward the living room where Jaylen was. He then turned around saying, “Dinner was good. Thanks.” I didn’t respond. Instead I continued to clean up the kitchen.
He walked back towards me and stood at the kitchen counter looking at me. I thought he was waiting for me to say ‘you’re welcome’ since he told me ‘thanks for dinner’. So I looked up at him and sarcastically said, “You’re welcome.”
“We need to talk.” Nick said flatly.
“Okay.” I said shrugging my shoulders.
He then walked into the kitchen and stood near me as if not wanting Jaylen to hear what he was about to say. “Listen…what happened last night…shouldn’t have happened. And it won’t happen again.”
What? My heart broke and sank to a bottomless pit. I stopped and looked at him to see how serious he was. His expression told me how serious he really was. “So you regret it ever happened?” I asked.
Nick rolled his eyes, and took a deep breath. “It just shouldn’t have happened…and it can’t happen again.”
I wanted to cry. My feelings were so hurt. I felt so stupid for even coming here. I should have known better. My sadness turned into anger. But I can’t let him know how hurt I am. I have to be strong. After staring at him for a moment, I continued to move about in the kitchen. “Alright. Fine.” I said as I shrugged my shoulders as if I didn’t care.
I felt Nick’s eyes follow me around the kitchen. “Fine.” He said as if completing the conversation.
“Fine.” I said again not wanting him to have the last word. I began slamming a couple of things down as I finished cleaning.
--END Point Of View--
“You know this is all your fault, right?” Nick blurted out suddenly annoyed.
“Excuse me?” Selena said whipping her ponytail around as she turned to look at him.
“You just pop back up into my life like nothing is wrong and trying to be a family. You just pop up into my life…and… and ruined my life and everything!” Nick said slightly raising his voice in anger.
Selena glared at Nick. “I ruined your life? Really, Nick?” Selena yelled in disbelief. “I didn’t ask for this! I’ve been doing this all alone, how do you think I feel?”
“That was your fucking choice!”
Selena chuckled in disbelief of Nick’s outrage. It wasn’t her choice to raise Jaylen alone. It wasn’t her fault, Joey was involved with a mobster who killed him. “You have absolutely no idea.” Selena replied calmly without looking at Nick.
“You waited three fucking years! Things could have been so different.” Nick said angrily.
Selena looked over at Jaylen in the living room with his attention now looking back at them. “Can we not talk about this now?” Selena said thru her teeth.
Nick followed Selena’s gaze over at Jaylen. Nick calmed himself. He looked back at Selena saying, “You know what…never mind. Don’t worry about it.” Nick walked away from Selena.
Nick walked toward Jaylen and said something to him to make sure he was okay. Nick then picked Jaylen up carrying him upstairs.
Jaylen kept his eyes on Selena the whole time.
Selena smiled while trying to hold her tears in to let Jaylen know she was okay. Once they were out of her sight, Selena broke down in tears.
Selena rolled her eyes. “Well there is your chicken, now eat you little nugget,” she smiled and ruffled his hair on his head. She walked around the kitchen counter to walk back into the kitchen for his juice. “Is Nick coming down?” she asked Jaylen.
“Mm-hmm.” Jaylen said as he started to pick at the chicken on his plate.

Chapter 14
Michelle laid down on her bed in her dorm room as she told her best friend Ashley what had happened that day. “Why were you naked? Did you not see it wasn’t Nick?” Ashley asked on the verge of laughing.
Michelle glared at Ashley. “It's just something we do...sometimes, Ashley! It should not have been any different today.” Michelle took a deep breath reminiscing about the day.
Ashley burst out laughing. “Well anyway, I have some news for you if you really want to get to the bottom of this baby mama drama.”
Michelle immediately sat up in her bed to listen intently to Ashley. “Go on…Im listening."
Ashley smiled and sat up straight in Michelle’s computer chair. “So, you know my cousin, Vinny, right?” “You mean the gangster?”
“Vinny is so not a gangster. He wishes he were a gangster.” Ashley laughed thinking about her cousin. “Anyway, I forgot he was back in New York, from visiting our aunt in Jersey, doing a job for some guy who I heard just got out of prison or something. But anyway, what I can tell you is that Vinny, can pull any strings to get anything.”
“Okay, get to the point, Ash!” Michelle said anxiously.
“Well, if you can get Nick’s DNA, and Selena’s child was born in New York…”
At that moment, Michelle’s dorm roommate walked in. Michelle looked up at the young girl with anger in her eyes. “Hey! Get out, now!” “But…but…it’s late and I want to go to bed, Michelle.”
Michelle hopped up and started to push the girl back out the door, “I don’t give a rat’s ass! You come back when I tell you too.” Michelle quickly shut the door in the girl’s face and locked it. Michelle turned her attention back to Ashley as she sat back on her bed. “Okay, go on”
“Geez, Michelle…do you always have to get your way?” Ashley asked.
“Yes. Now finish telling me what to do.”
“Okay, well basically, you don’t need the little boy’s DNA. We can just pull his and Selena’s records at the New York hospital, and see if Nick’s blood type matches to be his father.”
“We have to go all the way to New York?” Michelle asked in shock.
“It’s not that far, Michelle. You want in or no? I need to let Vinny know soon, because he claims he’s working and so busy working for that guy who’s out of prison now.”
Michelle thought about it. She wanted Selena out of the picture for good. She was sure Jaylen was not Nick’s son. All she needed was the proof so Nick would believe her. “Okay…when do we leave?”
“The sooner the better you can get Nick’s DNA. I’m off work for the next couple of days, so it needs to be done like now.”
Michelle thought for a moment. “Ok…let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll stop by Nick’s place in the morning, and we can hit the road to New York to see your cousin Vinny.”
“Awesome. I’ll call Vinny now.” Ashley said grabbing her cell phone.
Michelle smiled.

Selena had just given Jaylen his medicine and watched him doze off to sleep when she took a shower. She threw on her black tank top and blue pajama shorts. She was about to climb into bed next to Jaylen when she noticed the kitchen light turn on. She knew it was Nick. They hadn't talked to each other the rest of the evening since their little spat. Making sure Jaylen was comfortable in bed, Selena walked out of her bedroom closing the door behind her. She saw Nick standing in the kitchen shirtless wearing his red sweat pants. She figured he was probably about to go to sleep since it was getting late. Selena walked up toward the kitchen counter getting Nick’s attention, “Uhm…Nick?”
Nick turned around to face her.
Selena continued, “I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your gesture in allowing Jaylen and I to stay here, but….I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry about us for long. I’m going to be looking for some place else to stay.”
Nick took a swig of his water from the water bottle he had just gotten out of the refrigerator. “You can’t afford it.” He said dryly.
Selena frowned. “Don’t worry about what I can and cannot afford. It’s none of your business.”
Nick only stared back at Selena.
Selena rolled her eyes. “Look, I just don’t want you thinking that Im trying to be a family with you, alright? Im sorry I just popped back into your life and ruined everything for you and your little girlfriend, okay?” Selena’s voice started to tremble. “All I ask is that you please just give me a week to stay here, and I promise, Jaylen and I will be gone.”
“Jaylen doesn’t have to go.” He said coldly.
Selena’s expression looked as if she had just ate something sour as she glared at Nick. She felt like he snatched her heart out and started to stomp on it. “What? Where I go, Jaylen goes.”
“Maybe it’s time things change now. He’s my son too, Sel. I have a right to say where he goes.”
Selena found herself getting angry. “Nick, Jaylen is not –“ Selena stopped abruptly when she realized she was about to say that Jaylen was not his son. She figured if she told him now, he would probably kick her out that very night. She then slowly continued, “Look…I get it okay. You don’t have to be so mean about it. I get that you’re pissed at me, okay? I get it.” A tear dropped down Selena’s cheek. She quickly rubbed her tear away and turned away from Nick. “Never mind.” Selena said and rushed into her bedroom shutting the door behind her.
Nick heard her lock the door. Nick took a deep breath and placed his bottle of water on the counter. He felt bad for making Selena cry. He realized how much he was making the two women he loved cry lately. However his heart went out more to Selena than Michelle. He wanted to go knock on the door and ask if Selena was okay. But it was late, and he decided not to. Instead, he walked upstairs to his bedroom to go to bed.
Nick turned around to face her.
Selena continued, “I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your gesture in allowing Jaylen and I to stay here, but….I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry about us for long. I’m going to be looking for some place else to stay.”

Part 2
--Selena's Point Of View--
It was 6:20 in the morning when I heard Nick’s phone ringing back to back. I thought Nick answered the phone, but apparently not because the person was still calling. I then heard the doorbell ringing. That’s when I realized Nick must have been taking a shower because I focused in on hearing the water running upstairs. I got up from the bed to see who was at the door. I looked thru the peephole and saw that it was Michelle. Great…it’s the bitch. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I unchained and unlocked the door as opened it. When Michelle saw that it was me who answered the door, I saw her rolling her eyes. She then pushed her way inside.
“Where’s Nick?”
As I closed the door shut, I answered, “In the shower I guess.”
Michelle looked at me as if she were disgusted to see me. She scoffed at me and marched upstairs to Nick’s bedroom.
I started to follow her upstairs and push her or something...but I opted not to. I guess that would have been too much. Nick is already pissed at me. So instead I just rolled my eyes and walked back into my bedroom to get more sleep.
--END Point Of View--
--Nick’s Point Of View--
The whole time I was taking a shower I was thinking about Selena. After talking to my dad on the phone last night he made me realize how I really need to step up and be a man about the whole situation. He made me realize I was being mean to her when I shouldn’t have. He told me I should look at things from Selena's point of view. I guess he was right. If anything, Sel and I are supposed to be friends regardless. Before I leave for class this morning, I was going to make sure I apologized to her.
I turned the water off, and pulled the shower curtain back and almost jumped out my skin to see Michelle standing right there staring back at me. “Shit, Michelle, you scared the hell out of me! What are you doing here?”
Michelle was standing there with a smirk on her face as she handed me a towel. “Good morning. Im sorry, honey, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
I grabbed the towel from her and proceeded to dry myself off. As I wrapped the towel around my waist I asked, “How did you get in?”
“You’re little girlfriend let me in.”
I didn't respond to her little sarcastic comment. Instead I just waited for her to continue as she just stared at me.
“Did you fuck her last night?”
I couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle at Michelle being so ridiculous right now. I proceeded to walk past her out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. “No, Michelle, I did not.”
I could hear her follow behind me.
“I don’t see anything funny, Nicholas.”
I sighed and rolled my eyes as I proceeded to get dressed.
“Listen, I just wanted to tell you that I was going out of town today with Ashley. I will be back tomorrow.”
“Okay.” I said not really caring. I continued to get dressed as I threw on my jeans and a white Aeropostale graphic t-shirt.
“Will you miss me?” Michelle asked me in a pout.
I turned to look at her. “Sure.” I answered casually. I walked up close to her and said, “Drive safely.” I gave her a peck on her cheek.
When I stepped up close to her she suddenly wrapped her arms around me giving me a hug. A little taken back by her aggressive hug, I went ahead and hugged her back. However, when I hugged her she acted like she didn’t want to let me go. She then kissed me on the lips. But the kiss was slightly awkward. I pulled away from her wondering what was wrong with her. “Are you okay?” She looked like she was up to something.
“Yeah. Are you?”
I looked at her suspiciously and responded, “Yes.”
“Well, I should go. Ashley is waiting for me.”
I nodded okay.
I then followed her down stairs to the front door and opened it for her. I looked outside and saw Ashley sitting in her Mercedes car. She waved hello. I waved back.
Michelle turned to me and gave me another kiss on the lips. “I love you. I’ll call you when we get there.”
“Okay.” I watched Michelle scurry off to the car with Ashley.
--END Point Of View--
Michelle shut the car door as Ashley drove off.
“Did you get it?” Ashley asked looking over at Michelle in the passenger seat.
Michelle responded by holding up the needle with Nick’s blood in it. “He didn’t feel a thing. I distracted him while I kissed him.” Michelle devilishly smiled.

Nick finished getting dressed so he could make his early morning classes. He threw on his fitted white baseball cap, wearing it backwards and his white sneakers and went back downstairs. He saw Selena’s bedroom door cracked open. He lightly knocked and peeked inside. “Sel?” he whispered and waited for her response to see if she was awake.
No response.
“Selena?” he whispered again.
Selena popped her head up off the pillow and looked in Nick’s direction.
“Are you sleep?”
Selena adjusted herself in the bed to lay on her side facing Nick. “Well, Im not anymore.” Selena smiled.
Nick smiled looking back at her. He thought she looked beautiful even though she had just woken up. “Can I come in for a second?” he said quietly trying not to wake Jaylen.
“It’s your house.” Selena responded in a groggy voice.
Nick stepped in and sat on the edge of the bed next to Selena as he smiled at Jaylen. Jaylen was sprawled out with his arms above his head. “He’s a wild sleeper, huh?”
Selena turned on her back and sat up a on her elbows looking over at Jaylen and giggled. “Yes. I have to fight him all night long just so I can have room to sleep.”
Nick laughed quietly.
Nick and Selena made eye contact and their smile slowly faded away. Selena thought he looked so good and smelled really nice this early morning. She started to compliment him about it, but decided to keep it to herself.
“Well, Im off to class, and I just wanted to apologize how I’ve been treating you. You didn’t really deserve it.”
Selena smiled. “Maybe I did just a little.”
Nick smiled, “Okay, maybe just a little.”
They both laughed quietly.
“But Nick, Im still going to look for another place to stay.” Selena admitted.
Nick sighed and rolled his eyes. “We’ll talk about it later.” Nick replied. He then continued, “Alright, I gotta go. See you later.”
Nick raised up and leaned over Selena to kiss Jaylen’s forehead. He then kissed Selena’s forehead. “See ya. Don’t forget to lock the front door.” Selena nodded okay.

It was 6:20 in the morning when I heard Nick’s phone ringing back to back. I thought Nick answered the phone, but apparently not because the person was still calling. I then heard the doorbell ringing. That’s when I realized Nick must have been taking a shower because I focused in on hearing the water running upstairs. I got up from the bed to see who was at the door. I looked thru the peephole and saw that it was Michelle. Great…it’s the bitch. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I unchained and unlocked the door as opened it. When Michelle saw that it was me who answered the door, I saw her rolling her eyes. She then pushed her way inside.
“Where’s Nick?”
As I closed the door shut, I answered, “In the shower I guess.”
Michelle looked at me as if she were disgusted to see me. She scoffed at me and marched upstairs to Nick’s bedroom.
I started to follow her upstairs and push her or something...but I opted not to. I guess that would have been too much. Nick is already pissed at me. So instead I just rolled my eyes and walked back into my bedroom to get more sleep.

--Nick’s Point Of View--
The whole time I was taking a shower I was thinking about Selena. After talking to my dad on the phone last night he made me realize how I really need to step up and be a man about the whole situation. He made me realize I was being mean to her when I shouldn’t have. He told me I should look at things from Selena's point of view. I guess he was right. If anything, Sel and I are supposed to be friends regardless. Before I leave for class this morning, I was going to make sure I apologized to her.
I turned the water off, and pulled the shower curtain back and almost jumped out my skin to see Michelle standing right there staring back at me. “Shit, Michelle, you scared the hell out of me! What are you doing here?”
Michelle was standing there with a smirk on her face as she handed me a towel. “Good morning. Im sorry, honey, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
I grabbed the towel from her and proceeded to dry myself off. As I wrapped the towel around my waist I asked, “How did you get in?”
“You’re little girlfriend let me in.”
I didn't respond to her little sarcastic comment. Instead I just waited for her to continue as she just stared at me.
“Did you fuck her last night?”
I couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle at Michelle being so ridiculous right now. I proceeded to walk past her out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. “No, Michelle, I did not.”
I could hear her follow behind me.
“I don’t see anything funny, Nicholas.”
I sighed and rolled my eyes as I proceeded to get dressed.
“Listen, I just wanted to tell you that I was going out of town today with Ashley. I will be back tomorrow.”
“Okay.” I said not really caring. I continued to get dressed as I threw on my jeans and a white Aeropostale graphic t-shirt.
“Will you miss me?” Michelle asked me in a pout.
I turned to look at her. “Sure.” I answered casually. I walked up close to her and said, “Drive safely.” I gave her a peck on her cheek.
When I stepped up close to her she suddenly wrapped her arms around me giving me a hug. A little taken back by her aggressive hug, I went ahead and hugged her back. However, when I hugged her she acted like she didn’t want to let me go. She then kissed me on the lips. But the kiss was slightly awkward. I pulled away from her wondering what was wrong with her. “Are you okay?” She looked like she was up to something.
“Yeah. Are you?”
I looked at her suspiciously and responded, “Yes.”
“Well, I should go. Ashley is waiting for me.”
I nodded okay.
I then followed her down stairs to the front door and opened it for her. I looked outside and saw Ashley sitting in her Mercedes car. She waved hello. I waved back.
Michelle turned to me and gave me another kiss on the lips. “I love you. I’ll call you when we get there.”
“Okay.” I watched Michelle scurry off to the car with Ashley.
