This was a rather long short story full of sexual jokes and sarcasm: not school appropriate.

Any-who, this guy and this lady are partners of some sort and they're having their friends over to talk about the baby that was soon to come. The people that they invited don't show up and the lady gets really upset but the guy doesn't care for her friends. [while fooling around waiting for them, he makes a blowjob joke and she jokes about shoving food in his butt] He obviously likes his woman because he goes all the way over to the "no-show"s' house to see what was going on but he find a party going. The man is very confused and surprised. He asks the hosts (the people that were supposed to come over his house) what's up and they are like we didn't invite you so he goes home empty-handed and pissed off that he wasted his whole night for these people. He walks in to find his partner doing some weird packing her shenanigans. He decided not to tell her about the other party so he wouldn't hurt her feelings but she starts crying as if she already knew and was mad at him for not telling her.
