Amber gave the good news to Anthony she is having a baby๐ !
It’s a sunny afternoon in the South — you can practically hear the birds chirping and the gospel music playing faintly from Miss Shirley’s porch down the street. Wayne’s sitting out front of his cousin Rolonda’s house, sipping on sweet tea, cracking jokes with Mike and Dre when Amber pulls up in her car, looking nervous but glowing.
Wayne:
๐ “Ooooh wee, what y’all think this is? Amber lookin’ like she got somethin’ on her mind. That glow ain't just from highlighter, boy.”
Amber gets out, clutching her purse and walking fast — determined. She walks straight past the fellas like she didn’t even see them.
Dre:
“Yo, she on a mission, bruh.”
Mike:
“Nah, she walkin’ like she got taxes due AND somebody pregnant.”
Wayne (smirking):
“She might be pregnant, shoot. I ain’t gon’ say nothin’… but that’s Anthony’s girl. ๐ This ’bout to get real.”
Inside the house, Anthony’s chillin’ on the couch, mindin’ his business watching YouTube videos about how to start a pressure washing business.
Amber:
“Anthony… can we talk?”
Anthony (looking up, surprised):
“Amber? You good? You look like you seen a ghost — or you tryna make one.”
Amber (smiling nervously):
“No, I just… I got somethin’ to tell you. And before I say it, don’t panic, okay?”
Anthony (already panicking):
“Girl what you mean don’t panic? That’s the first thing people say before they make you panic!”
Amber:
“I’m pregnant.”
Silence. Anthony freezes like someone just unplugged his brain. His mouth is open, eyes blinking slow.
Anthony:
“…Wha— …You said you got promoted?”
Amber:
“No… preg-nant. Like… we having a baby. I’m two months.”
Anthony (jumping up):
“LORD HAVE MERCY. Jesus, this is real. Is it mine?”
Amber (rolling her eyes):
“Boy, YES it’s yours! Don’t play with me.”
Just then, Wayne, Dre, and Mike come busting through the front door like they heard everything — because of course, they did.
Wayne:
“I KNEW it! I told y’all, didn’t I? That wasn’t contour — that was motherhood!”
Mike:
“Boy, you done went from pressure washing to diaper changing!”
Dre:
“Y’all better name that baby Wayneisha if it’s a girl. I feel like I’m part of this.”
Amber laughs, and Anthony, still stunned, sits down on the couch. Then he smiles — genuinely.
Anthony:
“Wow… I mean, I’m scared as heck, but… dang. I love you, Amber. We gon’ make this work. I’mma step up.”
Amber:
“I know. That’s why I told you first. Not even my mama knows yet.”
Wayne (grinning):
“Too late now! ‘Cause we posting this whole conversation on my Facebook. 3.4 million people know now!”
Amber (shaking her head):
“Wayne, I swear—”
Wayne:
“Nah, nah, I’m playin’. But listen… this baby gon’ be blessed. Y’all just added another character to the skits. You know I need new material.”
Everyone laughs. Even Anthony, who’s already googling “best strollers under $300.”
Wayne:
“This what it’s about, man. Love, growth, and generational wealth. Now come on, let’s pray over the baby — and then we gon’ eat. Miss Shirley made mac and cheese.”
The screen fades to black with Wayne’s voice:
“Sometimes life come at you fast… like a baby shower invite. But if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready. Keep God first. And don’t let nobody hold you back — especially when there’s a baby on the way.”
