“I wasn’t trying to make you look stupid.”
“Then what the fuck was you trying to do?”
“I was scared!”
“So you lie to me?”
“I didn’t know what to do!”
“You knew what to do when you told me that baby was mine!”
I flinched.
His voice made Carter jump.
Keith immediately lowered it.
“Shit. I’m sorry, mama.”
He kissed her forehead.
Then looked back at me.
That somehow made everything worse.
“Keith, I swear it wasn’t like that.”
“THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS IT, AVERY?!”
“I’m trying to explain!”
“Explain what? You fucked Xay for a year and a half?”
I looked down.
“You had his baby?”
“Keith—”
“Got pregnant by him AGAIN?”
I wiped underneath my eye.
“And then looked me in my fucking face and told me that baby was mine?”
“I was going to tell you.”
“When?”
“I don’t know.”
“Exactly!”
He started pacing with Carter.
“I moved y’all in here.”
