that he faithfully took his dogs to twice a week, he tipped the instructor extra cash to teach the dogs attack tactics.
    Tressa was surprised when she went for her yearly check up and the doctor told her she was pregnant. She knew that they had sex like rabbits, and never wore any kind of protection. However, after having unprotected sex for over a year, she had dismissed the thought of being able to get pregnant.
    At first, she was happy. Once Lucky found out Tressa was pregnant, he made her feel like it was the happiest day of his life. She fixated on the good parts of becoming a parent. She'd be able to dress the baby cute, this would be both Lucky's and her first child, and they'd live happily ever after. Having a child together would complete them as one.
    She couldn't wait until visitation day rolled around so she could share the good news with her brother. Taj thought it was the worst news he'd heard since he'd gotten all that jail time.
    "What you mean, you having a baby? So, what about school?"
    "I am going to finish college after I have the baby."
    "So, what you graduated to being barefoot and pregnant now?"
    Taj's tone alone sent her into tears. He wasn't screaming at her, but he was firm when he spoke. Once he saw she was in tears, he began to settle down. His sister's tears always made him weak.
    "Look, all I am saying is I need you to rethink this.
    Sugar Gal, I am begging you not to have this baby. I mean you got ten, fifteen more years, at least, that you can have a baby. Get you somebody who is established in life legitimately, not a hustler. Sugar Gal, this dude ain't going to last long in this game. Matter of fact, the drug game ain't set up for no black man. The best thing for a black man, who has no other choice but the drug game, is to get in and get out as fast as he can. And I don't foresee Lucky ever 52

    getting out of that game. And what if he goes to jail or gets killed, where does that leave you and the baby?"
    "He is going to get out as soon as he makes enough money to get us a business." She said, speaking up in Lucky's defense.
    "Sugar listen, when Lucky first got out of jail, I set him up with a job, that if he wanted to go legit, he could have and he didn't. So, Sugar Gal, I am asking you for me to please rethink this." Taj said, practically begging his sister to reconsider.
    That day, leaving the prison, became one of Tressa's saddest days. Tressa felt like she owed her brother her life for all of the sacrifices he made for her after their mother was gone. It meant everything to have her brother's blessings, but what about Lucky's blessings. Then she kept trying to tell herself that men will come and go, but this was her brother for life. Tressa wanted to continue to further her education, and Lucky convinced her she could. She was confused and didn't know what to do. With all the pressures from her brother, she decided that the timing was bad and scheduled an abortion.
    While at the abortion clinic, Lucky came into the clinic and begged her not to have the abortion "Please Tressa, don't do this. I love you so much and I promise, I will never leave you to raise this baby by yourself. Please, just don't do this to me."
    Lucky kept on trying to persuade her everyway he could. "This must be what God wants, because look how much we make love and this is the first time you ever got pregnant." He pulled out every convincing line he could.
    "You know I'll take care of this baby, I mean look how I take care of my dogs. I go all out for them, something that I bought. Now, just imagine how I'd go all out for something I made."
    She looked into his eyes to try to search for the solution. Her mind was made up, the abortion was the right thing to do, but when she saw the tears rolling down his face, she had to give in.
    Throughout the whole pregnancy, Lucky was very supportive of Tressa. They did everything concerning the baby together. He went to every
