If I could go back I would and stop myself from taking that risk
"I know that you and I didn't exactly see eye to eye, but I know you are a smart woman and will make a great mother, as you are prepared to sacrifice a lot for the child"
Lauren smiles as she can understand the goodness of motherhood now |

That brought a small smile to her face to hear that. Getting that kind of acknowledgment from a woman that she had previously been known to hold a bitter grudge again. It was kind of nice. She began to nod her head slightly.
"Thanks. I sure will. I'm hoping to be a good mother. It's going to be hard to do by myself... I'm hoping I can handle it and be able to fill the void for all my child's needs. I'm really hoping it's a girl. I don't know how difficult it would be to have to raise a boy all by myself."

"You don't have any family that can help you? Mom, Dad brothers and sisters?"
Although it wasn't unheard of Lauren just couldn't believe that Kenisha had nobody to turn to for help, Lauren reached accross the table to hold Kenisha's hand, she hoped that Kenisha would take it
"Really, nobody at all?" |

"Not quite. I do have a mother, a sister, and three brothers. No father though. I can ask my family for help. That's not going to problem. And I can accept the help from others..."
She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head a little bit.
"But... I'm talking about as my own family. For a little girl? I can handle raising a little girl. I'm a woman. I can help raise her to become a good woman. But if I end up having a boy? That's going to be a little hard on me cause I don't know how to raise them to be a man. You know what I mean?"

"Ah, you are looking for the male role model for the child, I can understand that but you'd be surprised how well a mother can play father too. Obviously there are some things that would be difficult, like men stuff but I am sure that your brothers can step in and help you with that"
Though I don't think I'd ask my brother though |

"Yeah. That's true. I'm sure that he'd have no problem with helping me. I haven't even told anyone else yet. I haven't told any of my family. I'm not even sure how to tell them cause well... They didn't even know about me and Adrian. It's hard for me to come out and bring it up to them cause well... Adrian and my brother were friends. And well... We never told anyone about us. Not anyone family related anyways... You know... It's kind of going to be a shocker for them."

~Just as Kenisha finished that statement, a dark figure stood in the doorway wearing a grayish black hoodie, with the hood up, blue jeans, and black Nike Air Force Ones, and you can see him looking around the place, as if he is searching for someone. The figure looks towards Keisha, and Lauren's table, and just stares.~ |

Lauren had noticed BDB was hard not to since he was blocking Chi-Town patrons path to wonderful coffee, but she could sympathize with Kenisha after all Logan was a secret for a long time until daddy found out and then world war 3 broke out
"I can understand that sometimes families can be both the easiest to talk to and the hardest! My brother went nuts when he found out about me and Logan, only the fact he knew Logan would kick his ass stopped him from doing something stupid! But with Adrian gone it's difficult to judge how they might take it!" |

She hadn't noticed the man staring at her. Kenisha was more focused on Lauren, then to be bothered with anyone else around her. She nodded her head as she responded...
"I don't know how they'll take it. But I guess I got to tell them sometime. I can't necessarily hide it for very long and then have the kid in secret. That'd be very hard to difficult and I don't think I'd want to alienate myself from my family like that. I'll tell them sometime soon. I've just got to prepare myself to do it. I've never been good with situations that I'm nervous about. It takes me quite some time to gather up the courage to do things like this."

"I know that it is hard to face people sometimes especially when you are talking about something that they might disapprove of, as some won't admit it but I believe deep down we all want to please our families and make them proud of us... If it helps my father doesn't know about Michaela and I don't know how to tell him either... Maybe you tell him and I'll tell your family?"
Lauren said that in a tone that sounded jokingly but part of her was serious about the idea |

"Heh, heh... Eheh, heh... That could always work out to be a good solution to solve both of our problems. Heh, heh."
She shakes her head.
"Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm just so confused at this moment. I'll tell them sometime in the near future. Just not anytime soon. Yet. I want to be ready for it when I tell them."

~Briggz just stood there I mean he wanted to go talk to Kenisha, but I mean what would he say. He couldn't just walk over there, and say, sorry for 187. I mean that would rude. So, as he walked he stopped, and backed up. He sat in a nearby booth, and just thought as Kenisha, and Lauen talked.~ |

"Families? Growing up it was never a dull moment especially since I was the naughty one, as you get older you'd think that it'd get easier to talk about your feelings with them? I remember telling Mom about Logan and I must have been 16 maybe 17 at the time. He was the first boyfriend that I ever told them about, my Dad was very strict about these things. He hit the roof and demanded that I invite Logan over for the setup, pretty much my father scaring him away from me. I suppose Dad thought he was doing well and with my divorce I suppose he would say I told you so but hey sometimes families keep secrets"
Lauren took a sip of coffee
"Sorry, I am sure there is a point in there somewhere, not to sure where though!"
Did I just say that out loud? |

~Briggz couldn't bring himself to intereupt this moment that Kenisha, and Lauren shared. Even Briggz had understood, that it was something strange to see, Lauren, and Kenisha acutally getting along. Briggz stood up, and glanced at Lauren, and Kenisha. He made is way to the door, but was stopped by......... |

"You would think things would be easy to tell your parents when you get older, but sometimes it's the other way around for some people. I've had previous boyfriends in the past that it was hard to tell them about. They never really liked my choices cause I always seem to be attracted to the "bad boys" type. Heh, heh... Guess that's why I fell for Adrian the first time. Even though, that's not the entire reason for my love for him. There was the fact that he treated me like his own. Like a little sister type of deal. Can't even imagine how awkward it was for him when I confessed that I felt more towards him than that. It's going to be weird for me to tell my family about him, cause he was just like a member of our family. I'm just really worried about how to tell my brother such a thing. Cause him and Jayceon were real close friends. And I know boys feel some sort of way when their friends have a thing for their sisters or other such females in their families. I don't want it to turn into an ugly situation because of it. We hadn't even told Jayceon about us, so... I don't even know what to expect. You know?"
