Coming Out, LaCont'e [speld decodable readers TXT] 📗

dinner.

Her workday seemed extra long because they arrived home this morning from their trip

and it was right to work from the airport.

Dru asked her to marry him and to his surprise she said no, it is absolutely too

soon. He did not believe her answer and asked her to elaborate. She told him that she

wanted him to be completely sure because there was no turning back when all was said

and done. She wanted him to be sure that he wanted to give her his body. He thought

back to when he told her that any body would do her and he emphatically apologized to

her and she did not hesitate to let him know that he was forgiven.

They decided to live together for a while before they got married. Dru loved cats

and he had a beautiful gold colored kitten with beautiful emerald green eyes. Her name

was Mattie and she was more than spoiled. Mattie loved being held and petted often.

Ketcherna had gotten used to her and was quickly falling in love with her. She went out

and purchased a rhinestone leash for walking in the park.

Dru had to go out of town for a conference and Ketcherna and Mattie were home

all week alone. Ketcherna was busy catching up with her friends whenever she had extra

time. She forgot all about Mattie’s dental appointment. Dru called the next day to inquire

about her appointment. Ketcherna’s reply was “what appointment?” After hanging up

from him she quickly called the vet, and scheduled another appointment for Mattie.

After taking her to the vet on Tuesday, they stopped at the park, so that Mattie

could play for a while. They had been there for over two hours when Dru called to

check on Mattie. Ketcherna told him that they were at the park. He reminded her

about Mattie’s allergies. She looked over at the kitten and she appeared to be sleeping.

Ketcherna snatched her up and back to the vet they went. The doctor had to give

Mattie two allergy shots, and now she was perked up and ready to play. He

instructed her to go right home and keep her inside for the remainder of the day.

She was dreading telling him about what had happened but knew that she could

not keep that news away from him. After she told him he looked at her and told

her not to feel bad because every body makes mistakes and that was a part of life.

The two of them went out to celebrate his one year anniversary with the hospital.

All she wanted to do was to be an at-home-wife and possibly a mother too. They had set

the wedding day and the planning was on.

She cooked dinner tonight, and had put a little note under his dinner plate. He

picked the note up, and it read “dear daddy, I am due to come out in about four

months and I could hardly wait, baby”. He laid the letter down, and with tears in

his eyes, he said “now it’s time”.

She knew that it was past time that she told him about his brother. He needed to

know how he had paid her and the priest to do what they did on graduation night. Upon

thinking back to that night he did remember seeing his brother at the bar, even though

they did not talk or anything. Dru had asked him to be his best man, but withdrew the

offer after hearing this news.

Dre felt really bad about what he had done to his brother, and finally decided to

apologize for everything. He even apologized for the harsh way he treated him all of his

life. Of course Dru quickly forgave his brother because he really loved him, but this was

the last straw, or so he thought.

The wedding day was finally here. Rayzell was the best man and Justice and

Carmike were groomsmen. The wedding was beautiful. The colors for the wedding were

chocolate and cream with a little mint green mixed in. The honeymoon was a blast. They

were back now and living in marital bliss. Two more months and they would have the

baby.

Dru got to the hospital and put on his lab coat, and felt something in his pocket. It

was a note in there, and it read “daddy have a great day and think about me. I am coming

out soon, so start on my nursery”. Nothing and nobody could knock that smile off of his

face because it radiated from the inside out.

He got home, and entered the house, and heard voices. It sounded like arguing to

him coming from the bedroom. He got to the bedroom door and stood there; not

believing what he was seeing and hearing. It was his brother arguing with his

wife.

She was begging him not to tell Dru about their one night of love making, but he

told her that she might be carrying his baby and his brother deserved to know.

To say that he was hurt, was an understatement. Dru cleared his throat and they

turned to face him. He told Dre to get out of their home and to never return.

Ketcherna was apologizing and told him that she had been with Dre, but way

before she ever met him. He let her know that she should have told him and he wanted a

test done as soon as possible. She knew without a doubt that this was definitely his baby

but she had to put his mind at ease. They had the test done and yes this was his baby.

Finally they could relax and enjoy this experience. The baby was born, and wow

he came out looking just like Dre. They both noticed it at the same time and

could not hold their laughter in. After he composed himself, he looked at his son,

and said “welcome out into the world Dru Armandreus Woodson”.

The baby was now five months and Ketcherna decided that she would start her

own business of “messages from the womb”. She would sew these quotes onto baby bibs

and sell them. The business was such a huge success that she quit the banking business

and Dru went part time at the hospital. He wanted to spend as much time as possible

with his family. Dru Armandreus was now one and they were three months pregnant.

Rayzell married Ketchernas sister and they had a son. Justice married her best

friend corita. Rayzell and his wife Vickry decided to host a barbeque at their house on

Saturday. Every body was all excited about the upcoming event, but when they arrived

there was Dre and his family.

The children were playing and getting to know each other. Ketcherna caught Dre

starring at their son and asked why? He told her the child looked so much like him that he

wondered if he was his. His wife chimed in and said “you had better pray that he is not”

and how is that possible anyway? You would have had to cheat on us. That conversation

ended. End
