That's Your Baby Too

Charlene thought she knew exactly who the problem was.

Her baby daddy, Rico, had always been the type to talk big about fatherhood until responsibility showed up at his door with a diaper bag. So when his second baby mama, Milan, breaks down and begs him to take their one-year-old son because she’s drowning, Charlene already knows how the story goes. Rico refuses. Milan cries. And Shanlavell is left side-eyeing yet another man who screams “give the baby to the dad” until the baby actually needs him.

Then Charlene's man, Kamari, does what Rico won’t.

He says they’re going to get the baby.

At first, Charlene sees it as proof that real love still exists. Kamari steps up without hesitation, taking in a child who belongs to the messy family orbit they’re all stuck in. But one phone call from Rico changes everything.

According to him, Kamari isn’t helping out of kindness.

Now Charlene has to face the truth about the cruise they all took nearly two years ago, the woman who crossed her, the man who lied to keep her, and the innocent baby caught in the middle of everybody’s secrets.

That’s Your Baby Too is a fast-paced urban fiction short story about betrayal, motherhood, blended family drama, loyalty, and the kind of truth that can break a woman before it sets her free.
