HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!

Shelia remained focused, even after that first incident with Jewels. She noticed that Jewels’ attitude had changed and that she was getting thick. At that point, she didn’t have time to pay it too much attention because Shelia had to continue to work and maintain their house-hold. Things were hectic for her. Although her boyfriend helped sometimes, Shelia picked up a second job to make ends meet. She didn’t want to depend on any man to take care of her.

Miles called her one day after she got off work to see if she wanted to go out to dinner. She agreed, so he picked her up around 6:30 P.M., but, just before they got ready to go, Shelia realized she hadn’t seen Jewels all day. She had bought her a cell phone, which she used to call Jewels several times, but Jewels never answered.

Shelia wanted to just enjoy her evening, so Shelia left with Miles. It was nice, but Miles wasn’t a very romantic man, so they weren’t out long. When they returned to Shelia’s apartment, Shelia spotted Jewels coming out of the house with a man behind her.

At the sight of her mother, Jewels’ eyes grew to the size of saucers. She pushed Terry back into the house, trying her best to hide him, but it was too late. Shelia flew up the stairs, headed straight for the both of them.

“Who the fuck is this grown-ass man you got up in my house?”

“He’s my friend, Mama!”

Shelia turned to Terry with angry eyes.

“So, you’re fucking my daughter? I’m going to have your ass arrested for statutory rape. She is too young for you!”

“I really like your daughter, ma’am, and she is old enough. I’m only twenty-two years old.”

“Twenty-two”! Jewels is fourteen. Her birthday just passed in March!”
Jewels and Terry stood there, dumbfounded. Then, Terry walked out the door. Jewels looked at her mother, who had tears in her eyes. She knew she was hurting Shelia, breaking her heart. Shelia walked to Jewels’ room. The smell of sex was all in the air. The covers on the bed were thrown everywhere. The fan was blowing, making the scent even stronger. Shelia looked at Jewels. Pain was evident on her face. That night, Shelia knew she had to take action by putting Jewels on some kind of birth control. She was not ready for her baby to have a baby.
