that it wasn’t good news.
    Joy’s chest heaved up and down as she tried to catch her breath. Tears streamed down her face and she stumbled to a chair and she put her head in her hands and broke down. Simone watched her for a moment before she moved her chair closer.
    “Joy, It’s going to be okay. Is there anyone you want me to call for you?”
    “No. I have nobody.”
    “Okay. I know we don’t know each other that well but I’m here for you. It wasn’t too long ago I was in your shoes.”
    Joy looked into Simone’s eyes and saw how sincere she seemed but something in her reminded her to be cautious.
    “I can’t believe this happened to me.”
    “What about the father?”
    Joy thought about it. “I guess it depends on how far along I am.”
     
     

Chapter 9
     
    Joy thanked Simone and was on her way in a direction unknown, when she heard someone running behind her, calling her name. She turned to see Simone and stopped.
    “Here’s my number, in case you need something,” Simone said and pressed a piece of paper in Joy’s hand.
    Joy took the number and continued to walk towards Roosevelt Blvd. She tried to think anything that would help her. She thought about who could be the father of her baby. Shawn had a vasectomy. She wasn’t sure about Dre because they just started having sex and she didn’t have her period in months. “So it has to be Kevin.” Joy yelled in excitement.
    She saw a cab in at a Dunkin Donuts drive thru window and she ran to catch it. The driver waiting noticed her running towards him and rolled down the window.
    “Where you headed?”
    She gave him the directions to Kevin’s apartment as she got in. The back of the cab smelled like feet and cabbage. Joy rolled the window down and stuck her face outside the cab. She rolled with her face out the whole way there. When the driver pulled up to Kevin’s, she paid him, and got out.
    Ten minutes later, the cab had pulled off and she was still standing at the bottom of the stairs that led to Kevin’s apartment door. Her hand shook in midair as she reached for the banister. She was afraid of being rejected.
    Tired of standing, she sat down on the bottom two steps. She thought about what she would say and nothing seemed right. She didn’t know how long she had sat before she forced herself to chalk up her fear and walked up the stairs. When she reached out to knock on the door, it flew open.
    Kevin stood there with his keys in his hand, a shocked expression on his face. Joy could see the anger and the pain in his eyes.
    “Joy.” he said, staring at her.
    She stood speechless and her heart grew tight in her chest. It wasn’t because it hurt her to see the man she loved almost from sight after months away from him. It was because directly behind him was his new bitch.
    “You okay daddy?” the bitch asked, looking directly at Joy.
    Kevin remained silent and stared at Joy.
    “Tanya?”
    “What are you doing here?” Tanya asked stepping around Kevin.
    Joy looked from Tanya to Kevin, who looked down at his feet still not saying a word.
    “What do you want with my man?” Tanya asked, getting in Joy’s face.
    “Oh so now he’s your man now?” Joy thought to beat Tanya’s face in but Tanya’s belly stuck out through her t-shirt.
    “Yeah ho.”
    Joy smirked at Tanya. “Who you calling a ho. You’re the one with multiple baby fathers. None of your kids even stay with you. The baby you’re carrying now makes what; 7 kids, 7 fathers?
    “And another thing, can you say that you’re having his baby?” Joy said and rubbed her still flat stomach. Tanya’s scrunched up her face, like she tasted something sour.
    “You’re pregnant?” Kevin asked.
    “You sure it’s not some other nigga’s baby you carrying bitch?”
    “I’m sure. I haven’t had sex with anyone else, so I know who my baby daddy is unlike you, bitch.” Joy lied, hoping that it was Kevin’s baby.
    Kevin’s face showed his disbelief. He stepped closer to Joy.
