Love this story, and I really hope Natalia and Anthony can get it together and be together.  I know things did not start off in the best of ways, but I hope they can get past that and figure it out.  Natalia needs to respond to Richard though and let him know definitively that he should get lost for good!

More please :)

Ughhh, I hate when women do that.  Don't encourage him into a relationship he doesn't want because of YOUR feelings.  Get your shit together on your own.  Then be pissed off because he took you up on your advice.  You set the damn stage, what do you expect.  They have feelings for each other and she needs to see where it goes.  Yes, it wasn't the best beginnings to a relationship but that dickwad dad was the one that jumped all of the BS off.  Now he want to send gifts.  Do I look like a mistress to you.  Do you think I can't get a man.  WTH is wrong with him.  Bish stop communicating with me when you weren't a true husband and was play acting.  Now Anthony, don't fall for the okie doke.  You know darn well you don't like that girl so don't play with her emotions.  Read up on pregnancy, her hormones will be so out of control she will jump your bones in 3 wks give or take, LOL.  Great update as they continue to tiptoe around their feelings.  Will Rita set him straight?  Who will set her straight?  

It's clear Natalia is trying to do what is best for everyone in this situation. I understand that. She is also scared of her attraction to Anthony, which is also understandable. Anthony is a grown man, sure, but she was married to his father which I'm sure she has and is dealing with. She does not want to tie Anthony down, he has already chose to be responsible and in the baby's life, she does not want to add and though, I do not think she would, I can see why she thinks she would. I would probably do the same thing.

Anthony is just finally starting to figure out what he wants to do with his life and Natalia knows this and is trying to make this as easy as possible for him without becoming too attached and dependent on him. But sweet Anthony is making it a little hard, lol. He really is sweet and Natalia is trying her hardest to play at friend without getting caught up. It's not really clear what Anthony wants with Natalia. It is clear that he wants to be in his baby's life. It's also clear that he is attracted to Natalia, but long term with her, I do not know and Natalia does not either, which is why she encourages him to go out, have fun, and live. Besides, does Natalia really want to jump into it any further than she already is with Anthony given she was married to his father? I know, morality has been shot to hell already, but still. Anyway, awesome story!

so i screamed when i saw the update!!! i'm so flippin happy!! :D :D

damn Natalia for pushing away Anthony. he has shown more then twice who he wants but nooo Natlia points him in the opposite direction *shake head* can't wait for more - love this story!!

btw has Natalia been to the OB and done a checkup? just thinking that would be great moment for her and Anthony to bound *hint,hint,wink,wink* LOOOL!

Why is she pushing him on other women?  Natalia is working my last nerve!! Athony is such a sweetheart and a good man to boot!  Loving this story! 

another very very good story! i'm truly enjoying and looking forward to seeing Natalia and Anthony grow closer as friends and as a couple. i cant stand Barb...! she's rude and keeps on butting in on Natalia's life - why? why the hell does she feel that need to do that...!?

i'm curious as hell about Richard - is he really such a cruel and two-faced person or are the reasons for his behaviour? why is he calling Natalia? does he want her back? if i was Natalia i would answer the phone or something because Richard strikes me as a person who can suddnely show up on your doorstop if you keep ignoring him - and that would be very intersting if he did, LOOOL!

i know you have tones going so i wont ask for an update because i know the wait will be worth it! thanks for sharing this story with us! :D

Great job

Girl, you're KILLING me. LOL! 

Thanks for the update. Good chapter.

Well, well, well.  Does Anthony like this Candace girl or is he just being nice.  They are so stuck on the origins of their interaction that they are losing sight of what is currently in front of them.  True, the origination of the child and their past is not ideal in anyway but at this point it cannot be changed.  Do you sacrifice what is truly good and might actually be the absolute right relationship because of that.  Sometime we really get in our own way.  Also if this was a man with a 13 yr younger woman who was pregnant we wouldn't bat an eye at the age difference and how she is too young.  He would be attempting to seduce her all the time.  Sometimes I think Anthony's lasagna is seduction for him and her.  Want to really see what it is going to take to turn their relationship into even closer touching.  At some point her hormones and his sexual frustration is going to blow up but hopefully with each other.    It sounds like this interaction made her open her eyes some because she realized she wanted to be with him.  Curious to know Anthony's thoughts.

Nice but when will the other story be finished?

With a twist of the neck and a butchering of normal inflection, I channeled ghetto-girl.  “My baby-daddy.”

The sentiment that she's channeling her "ghetto-girl" really bothers me.
