Yes, for real, Sabrina replied, her heart softening. Im upset with Tyrone, but you, I could never despise.
Sabrinas anger was directed at Tyrone for having a child with another woman, not at the child herself.
Sabrina, youre so nice! Jennie hugged Sabrina tightly and wept.
I dont want to stay at Wandas place. I want to stay with you!
Jennie, always so well-behaved and thoughtful, had never cried this hard or loudly before.
Sabrina felt her heart drop. Yet, she didnt give her consent. She could imagine Betties reaction if she said yes.
After a moment, Sabrina suggested, Jennie, I dont think your biological mom would be okay with you staying here with me. Ill call your dad and ask him to take you back to Starriver Bay. I promise Ill come to visit you a lot. How does that sound?
Sabrina believed that was the best course of action. If Jennie lived with her, Keilani and Kira would definitely do something.
Jennie looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. Sabrina, youre not going back to Starriver Bay? Could you go back with me? That lady who picked me up from kindergarten can manage me, but not you and Tyrone. Tyrone really likes you.

I dont want to go back right now.
Why? Jennie blinked, confusion spreading across her face.
Sabrina was upset with Tyrone, but there was more to it. Your grandma is trying to set up your biological mom and your dad, isnt she?
Jennie gave a small nod. But dad doesnt listen to my grandma. He likes you a lot. Hes already said no to my grandma.
Sabrina said earnestly to Jennie, See, your grandma doesnt like me much. Shes not one to give up easily. Shell do everything she can to keep me and Tyrone apart and to push your biological mom and Tyrone together. And theres something you might not know. Your grandma feels she needs to look out for your dad. She could be a control freak. I dont want her to cause me any more trouble, so Im not going to go back with you.
Sabrina wasnt too concerned about marriage. She had no plans to remarry Tyrone. Being apart from him didnt bother her. As for the baby in her belly, she supposed she and Tyrone could co-parent it after she gave birth to it.

Living with Tyrone meant Keilani and Kira would undoubtedly cause her troubles. Now pregnant, Sabrina craved a peaceful life and wanted to focus on her baby. It was smarter to let everyone believe she and Tyrone were truly apart. That way, theyd leave her alone and bother Tyrone instead.
Jennie looked concerned and said, But isnt that exactly what grandma wants? What if that lady takes advantage of this?
Sabrina smiled gently. If Tyrone chooses to let that happen, then hes not the one for me. Ill end things with him.
Guess I cant do much for Tyrone then, Jennie muttered under her breath.
Without further comment, Jennie snuggled into Sabrinas embrace.
Sabrina laughed softly and gave Jennie a reassuring pat. Go on and play with Bun. Im going to cook, and Ill have your dad pick you up after we eat.
Curled up in Sabrinas arms, Jennie looked up curiously. Wheres Bettie?
Shes away on a work trip.
Okay. Jennie then gently pulled away from Sabrina. Ill go find Bun.
