De'Mario's POV:

I lifted my head up, realizing that my nightmare was actually reality. I was still holding Shawny's hand and Im glad to know that Im still by her side. I have some things to get off my chest, and this shit is killing me inside. It ain't nobody else in here but us so, Im feeling free to speak my heart.

Me: "Hey, babygirl. I wanna tell you something, and I hope you can hear me. You know that I love you and I would die before I wouldnt let anything happen to, right? Well, I've fucked up many of times and have done a poor job. Im No good for you but you still love me, why is that baby? We've been through so much shit together especially in these last few days, Its slowly braking you down. Im beginning to think my life is too much for you. Honestly, I don't know. I do know that I love you like crazy and just want you to wake up. If you could do that for me, I would be the happiest man alive. I cant lose you like this, I wouldn't know how to live with myself. You are my heart and my soul. Without them, I ain't shit but what I used to be. Baby, just please wake up. If god is punishing me for all the bad I've done, then I MUST have pissed him off for him to do some shit like this. My world is crashing down. Like, I don't know what to do, or how to feel anymore. Like, Im stuck in limbo."

A tear shed down my face, but I continued to speak.

"You don't deserve this shit. I should be the on in the hospital right now. I can't believe this is really happening, BABY.JUST, PLEASE! WAKE UP!"

I shook her as If I was trying to wake her up and cried like a new born baby. I laid my head on her stomach and held her hand as I cried.

De'Shawn's POV:

When my eyes finally opened, I winced in pain from the bright light. I could feel weight on my stomach to see that it was my baby crying like I was dead or something. I placed my hand on his cheek.

Me: "Heyyy, Don't cry, don't cry"

He looked at me with joy and relief in his eyes and tears of joy, relief, and sadness all came out at once. I couldnt help but cry with him. He kissed me passionately and I knew, at that moment. That he loved me. With everything he had inside of him. I know Im hurt and in physical pain but I need to finish this business so that we can get home and go on with our lives.

D: "Babygirl, you don't know how happy I am to see your eyes open. I feel like Im finna pass out."

I giggled cause I know he serious and I pulled him in to kiss me.

Me: "How long have I been in here?"

D: "Only since last night but it felt like forever baby. I swear, I was hurt."

I looked down at my left hand remembering what he said to me and the fact that he has never let go of my hand since he got in here last night. I smile to myself because the little shit he do makes me wanna marry this man.

"What you thinking about, beautiful?"

Me: "*Sigh* Well, right now. Im thinking about you, and the little things you do for me. But Im never going to get over my parents. I need to go and I need to go, NOW. If you understood where I was coming from you would see that I have to do this, ASAP!"

D: "You're not in any shape to be doing anything, Bae."

I don't know what grew inside of me but whatever it was, It caused me to go from 0-100 real quick. I sat up and lifted my bed up with the remote.

Me: "IM A GROWN ASS WOMAN, AND I CAN HANDLE MY GODDAMN SELF! YOU ACTING JUST LIKE MY FUCKING DADDY, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT!"

The nurse bursted in and tried to tell D to leave.

Nurse: "De'Shawn please calm down."

Me: "Nah, FUCK dat!"

I began snatching the IV and shit out and hopped out the bed. I was beyond pissed but really didn't know why, My body was taking over. The Nurse and D tried to get me back in the bed but I managed to get passed them. Not a care in the world about how I look in this hospital gown ever crossed my mind. I stormed out the room with my ass cheeks hanging out and breast bouncing as I walked. In the heat of the moment, I felt large hands grab ahold of my arms and I collapsed to the ground.

D: "Shawny, get the Fuck up off the floor! What is wrong with you?"

Me: "LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOUUUUAAAHHH!"

I broken down crying and trembling, I have lost control of my own body.

"WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?! WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME DADDY?! ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE LOVED!"

At this moment, I knew that I was having more than a chemical imbalance. I just willingly made a fool of myself infront of the whole hospital and myself. De'Mario's hands never left my body and nor did he move me. We were right in the middle of the hallway floor leading to the front doors. All of my friends and family were in shock at the end of the hall, witnessing what the Hell just happened. I just proved how much of a nutcase I was to everybody. Lost in the matrix of my mind, I fall into a deep sleep. Hoping and praying, I don't ever wake up again.

What the Hell just happened?

De'Mario's POV:

So, there you have it. She completely snapped. I know She's going to feel beyond embarrassed when she wakes up but I think that's all she needed. Im gave up fighting her to calm down so I just held her down until she passed out again. If I didnt love this girl, I would have left a long time ago cause this girl is a piece of work. But She's my baby and I love her with all of me. After she was out of it again, I was finna pick her up and take her back into the room until she woke up.

D: "Bae, you straight?"

She mugged me down with confusion and escaped from my arm's grasp. I grabbed her hand as she stood up and looked at everyone that were being nosey. She sure enough looked embarrassed and was completely in shock and speechless. Everyone from the waiting room helped me get her in the room and back on the bed.

Shawny: "Im sorry, Im sorry, Im so, so sorry."

Shawny began apologizing and I kept telling her it was okay. But deep down inside me, I know she wasnt even talking to me. She was talking to her Dad. I hate to say it but my girl has gone insane. I don't know If it's because of being raped, or even the fact that she has unfinished business with him but it's really affecting her. It's affecting her very badly. I lay in the bed with her gave my chair to Mia. I held her in my arms as she laid on my chest while I caressed her forehead.

Mia: "Can someone please inform me on what the Hell was that in the hallway?"

Everyone agreed with her and she waited for an answer. Shawny was bout to answer but I answered for her.

Me: "She had an Anxiety attack. I don't wanna say too much about it so I wont trigger another one... Feeling better, Bae?"

I kept checking on her to see If she was alert. I felt her nod and I let that pass.

Shawny: "I forgot to warn you guys about these. It's the worst feeling in the world"

Everyone looked at her and she continued to speak.

"My Daddy, used to molest me..."

The moment I heard them words, I grew furious. The feeling was mutual between Everyone in the room. My grip got tighter around Shawny and I told her to not speak No more. Im proud of her for letting that go but at a time like this, I might explode. I made eye contact with every nigga in the room and we all nodded in agreement. The doctor walked in to speak to Shawny and everyone but me had to clear the room.

Doctor: "Mrs.Hill we have the results of your test and they came back negative. You're clean. Since we see that you are very stressed, we with have to keep for at least a week and then you can go home. We don't want the stitches to tear and you to bleed anymore. Im sure you are in pain, so I'll write you a prescription for some pain pills. If you need anything, here is the remote. Just press that button and I'll send in a Nurse to come assist you."

I could see in Shawny eyes that she wanted to cry, I know she just want to stop that feeling of anxiety that's bothering. Staying in the hospital is only gonna make things worse.

Shawny: "Im only staying because I don't have a choice. & I don't take pills. Please, get out my face."

I raised my eyebrow at her because that was just disrespectful of her to do. She must have felt me staring at her cause she looked up at me.

Me: "Don't look at me like that. You know how to talk to people. Why did you have to be so rude?"

She rolled her eyes and sat up.

Shawny: "Mann, whatever"

Me: "You can cut that fucking attitude out, I didn't do shit to you. *SIGH* Look, I know you going through Hell right now. But I wanna help, If you let me. You can't keep pushing people away, Babygirl. You don't realize how much you do. I can't help If you don't want me here."

She put her head down in her hands and I removed them. She had tears in her eyes and I caressed her cheek with my right hand.

Shawny: "I do want you here. I just feel like you don't wanna be here."

Me: "Now, where the Hell did you get that from?"

She shrugged and looked away but I pulled her chin back with my index finger.

"Stop thinking so damn much and listen more. Im not going no where. So, You can throw that thought right out the window. It's me and you against the world, Baby. Can't you see that?"

She nodded and half smiled. I don't need to say anymore, cause she already know what it is. Thats my fucking baby and Im not letting her go, No matter what.

"Baby, you need some rest."

Shawny: "But I don't want to."

Me: "You ready for them to come back in?"

Shawny: "Yeah."

Me: "Okay, Ill go get em, Im finna go to the store, you want something, Bae?"

Shawny: "Nah, Im good. But thanks."

Me: "You sure?"

She nodded and I know that was a lie. I raised my eyebrow at her.

Shawny: "Ugh, yess. Bae, Im starving!"

She pouted and I kissed her. I loved babying her, but she don't ever let me do it.

Me: "*Chuckles* See, I knew it. I'll grab you something on my way back."

Shawny: "Awwww, Thank you. You really don't have to, Im just kidding."

Me: "You saying Thank you and I ain't even give it to you yet *laughs* but yes I do, you're my lady. When I eat, you eat. When I don't eat, you still gone eat, cause Imma make sure you do."

A real smile grew on her face and warmed my heart. I stood up and held her hand.

"I'll be right back, I love you."

I kissed her lips and just couldnt let go. I deepened the kiss and nearly laid her back down on this hospital bed. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I caressed her ass. We began moaning as we sucked each others face off.

I better stop before I hurt her.

Shawny ran her fingers through my now crinkled dreads because they were in braids yesterday. She know that when does this, I act a fool. I picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I know this is wrong but it feels so good. I laid her on the bed and climbed on top of her. We kissed for a while before I shifted over to her neck. Trailing my lips down, I realized what I was really doing. It turned me on even more and I sucked a little more harder. A moan escaped her lips and I lifted her gown above her belly button. I examined her Kitty and almost cried. I could see the damage he had done to her. It was red and looked so painful. I stuck the tip of my index finger and she winced at the pain.

Too late.

Me: "That hurts?"

She looked down at me and nodded her head.

Shawny: "Mhmm."

Im sorry, but this was the most sexiest view of her beautiful face. I remove my finger and she winced again. It just turned me on even more.

Me: "You want Daddy to kiss it?"

I bit my bottom lip and I could see her getting wetter already, I ain't even touch her yet.

Shawny: "Mhm, yeah"

She said looking like a little baby. I ain't trying to waste no time. All need was for her to say the word and imma solve all her problems.

Me: "Okay, Baby. Lemme ease ya pain. It may hurt a lil doe."

I say with a cocky smirk and she playfully smacked my head. That was my queue. I spread her thighs and kissed her pearl. I slipped my tounge between her other set of lips.

De'Shawn's POV:

Me: "Mmm, Ah. Sss, Ow, Ow, Ow, Babyyy that hurtsss"

I know you think we're idiots but shit, we horny asf. D really had me dripping. I was still sore from the incident but this shit still felt good, made me forget I was even in the hospital. D sucked on his index finger and slowly penetrated me twirling his finger. I winced in pain Which Soon turn into moans.

D: "You like that?"

I nodded and bit my bottom lip.

Me: "Mhmm, Ahhhh De'Mario!"

He rammed two fingers in me and It hurt soo good. I guess I was too loud cause D laughed and shushed me. He flicked my Pearl with his tongue, causing me to jerk everytime. My eyes rolled to the back of my my head and a moan escaped my lips.

Me: "Bae, Im bout to- Im bout to- Ahhhh... Ooooohh...."

I exploded all over his fingers and sucked me off his fingers. He grabbed a wet napkin and wiped me down. I pulled my gown down and D tucked me in.

D: "How you feeling?"

He gazed in my eyes. I loved that he had a purpose for doing the crazy shit he do. That's why I love him.

Me: "Tired."

He chuckled and kissed my nose.

D: "Get some sleep, I'll go get Mia."

Me: "Okay, Daddy"

D: "I'll be right back, I love youu"

Me: "I love you tooo & Daddy, Im hungry!"

D: "*Chuckles* I got you, Babygirl. I ain't forget."

I smile as I watched him leave the room. Somehow, I felt a streak of happiness race through my veins. We love each other so much but when our two worlds clash, they create disasters. I hope shit get better in a few days cause Im go into cardiac arrest before it gets too bad.

I smile to see Mia and the kids walking towards the room. But that frown came with the presence of Kacey. Imma kill De'Mario for this shit.

Me: "The fuck she doing here?"

I said looking passed Mia and directly at my unwanted target.

Mia: "I called her. Girl, Yah need to talk. I ain't telling you to be her bestie or anything, just listen to what she has to say."

Me: "Look, Im not in the mood to talk to her right now. She's the reason Im in here. I really don't care to speak to her or not. But since being mad at you causes me hella stress, I guess I'll give you another chance. But try me again and I will not hesitate. Do you hear me?"

She nodded repeatedly, prolly having flash backs of what I did to her but I guess. Since D not fucking up, I'll be nice to her today.

Kacey: "Look, De'Shawn. I truly am sorry. I was only in it for the money tbh. I Thank you for forgiving me and hope this won't affect Maria."

That sound like some shit D would say. He been talking to her on the low and giving her courage. He lucky it's a new day. He lucky. Real fucking lucky. But let me find out.

Me: "How often do you and him conversate?"

Oops that slipped.

Mia: "Shawny, stop it. Leave it alone. Don't go looking for shit you can't handle."

She's right.

Me: "Alright, Im done. Yah have a seat. Make yourselves at home."

I said sarcastically. I picked up the sleepy children and let them lay in bed with me. I stole Maria from Kacey and laid her on my chest.

Me: "My babies."

Mia: "Yeah, they're my little soldiers."

Kacey: "Maria's my angel."

I look at them, all cuddled up with me. I smile wide. I love them all. I wish I had a few of my own. But it's way too Soon for that. I kissed Marias warm little head smile to the thought of having De'Mario's baby one day.

Mia: "Girl, what you over there smiling about?"

I glance at Kacey in the background and realize how awkward it would be to say that infront of her so I keep it to myself.

Me: "I'll tell you later. Kacey, get up out the background. You creeping me out girl. Make me think you plotting again."

Mia & I laughed but she just fake smiled. Mann, I know Im petty sometimes. Kacey sits next to Mia and can't stop staring at me. She make me feel so fucking uncomfortable mann. Mia notices it as we talk and laughs at me.

Mia: "Kacey, girl. You okay?"

Me: "Right, is it something on my face? Cause If it is Mia you ain't really for telling. *Mia & I bust out in laughter*"

She turned red and fake laughed.

Kacey: "No, you look just fine. I mean you're gorgeous..."

Mia gave me that Kermit the frog look and held in her laugh.

Bruh, Is this bitch gay?

De'Mario's POV:

I told Shawny I was going to the store but really we all went to the trap and had a meeting. I got me some new niggas, since they cool with my girl and all. Im still gone bring her back her food though, so we have to make this shit quick.

I met all these niggas and they seem cool asf but ion too much like that nigga Rico. I think he got something to say but being a bitch about it. But anyway, the rest of them just clicked for me. We had No problems at all.

So we make it to the trap to discuss this mission we needed to finish. We had a change in plans because we got set up and this shit happened to Shawny. That's what makes me wanna finish this for her. I feel like I let her down. But a nigga was too happy when she called me her hero. Now we have some minor changes to deal with. I don't mind, though. Shawny's in a safe place right now.

Me: "Alright, so we have a change of plans."

Eric: "Whatever it is, Im down."

E my real nigga. He down to ride for whatever. I dapped him up. Everybody else gave me their full attention.

Me: "Since my baby can't continue with our mission, We can't use her. But I am finna go finish this shit for her. Now, we got a million ways we could do this but the best way is to-"

Jr: "Bring them to her."

He's smart.

Me: "Right."

Devin: "But how we gone get to them? It's been almost 24 hours and they are probably scared they ain't getting a response."

RJ: "Hell yeah, they fashoo hiding out somewhere."

Matt: "The only person who would know where that is, is Shawny."

Rico: "Nah, man. They got connections somewhere. We just got to figure out who they are. Then you'll find them."

Me: "Then it all comes back to, Babygirl."

I laughed cause this is truly her mission. We gone have to get info from her to even go on the mission for her. We finna go commit suicide and shit.

Eric: "Back to the hospital we go."

We all laughed. It was a nice try though. I take a deep breath and get ready to go.

On the ride back to the hospital, we stopped at Steak N' Shake. I know my baby don't like fast food so this is the closest she'll get to it. I ordered her a taco salad and an Ice water. That'll fill her up. I think I'll just order me a steak Burger, that's it. I ain't really that hungry but she gone make me eat. She really care about a nigga, & I love that shit about her.

Eric: "Bro, how you feeling?"

Me: "Shit, right now Im just happy she's awake. I thought she was gone be gone for a min. I mean, a nigga was hurt. That shit scared the Hell outta me."

I can feel the build up of tears in my eyes and I tried to hold them back. But Imma real nigga, so they can't see me cry.

Eric: "Me too, man. I was feeling for you. You really love that girl man."

JR: "They love each other. I seen how Yah both saved each others lives yesterday and then saved mine. Shit, Yah a powercouple. She a rider too."

I smile at the rode as I drove. Hearing that made me realize how much that girl done changed me. My girl is a rider too. She was hurt and still stood by my side in that warehouse. Man, I love that girl.

Me: "My baby. That's my fucking baby."

I let out a chuckle and a tear of happiness. Soon my eyes started watering and my nose got runny. I sniffed and smiled wide.

Eric: "Ma nigga... Ma nigga is in love for the first time. Im proud of you B."

I smile and pull into the hospital driveway. I find it really amazing that No matter how bad my life may seem, she still manages to be there. Im grateful for my girl. Im not finna take her for granite because thats what her dad did to her and Mia lost Flexx to some dumb shit. I swear, I would lose my mind If I lost her and now that Im blessed with her everyday, I need to treat her as my queen. Like it's our last days on earth.

My babygirl man.

Me: "Im gone marry that girl, man."

Rico: "You sure about that?" He said with a smirk.

I turned to look at that nigga like he was fucking stupid. He laughed like he knew something that I didn't.

Me: "Fuck you mean, bruh?"

Jr: "Bro, chill."

Eric: "B, we not finna for through this again. Yo girl need chu, come on now. Be smart."

Rico: "Right, be smart."

Jr: "Rico, chill the Fuck out. What would Shawny say If she seen you arguing with her nigga?"

We hopped out of my Jeep & Devin parked next to us. I was ready to lay this nigga out but I ain't wanna do nothing just yet.

Rico: "Man, You cool and all but Shawny is my girl. She's been mine since middle school. Jay, I can't just let this new nigga take her from me. We was inseparable before she left without telling me. I been looking for her all this time and now she got a new nigga?"

I grew furious on the inside cause he really thinks MY girl belongs to him. New nigga? Nah, Im THAT nigga. He got the game fucked up. I just laughed it off and walked inside to feed MY babygirl.

Eric: "Bro, I'm surprised you ain't break that nigga shit."

I laughed cause he know I wanted to so bad.

Me: "Shit, Im still trying not to. But as long as she's mine. I have nothing to worry about."

He gave me some dap and we walked into the room. Im surprised she talking to Kacey. They having a good ass conversation though. The kids having fun and Maria laying on her chest. It's so beautiful, I have to take a picture.

Me: "My babies."

Shawny smiles like an angel, so I had to steal me a kiss.

"Hey, baby."

Shawny: "Hey, love."

Me: "You feeling better?"

She blushed and nodded her head.

Shawny: "Yeah"

Since everybody in the room and the kids are right next to her, I gotta whisper in her ear.

Me: "I told you, Daddy would make you feel better. My tongue will do wonders. I bet your pussy dripping right now. I got something for that ass when you heal though, you might be right back in here."

Her face turned red and she giggled. I wanted to bite them damn lips off but the kids right here.

Mia: "Oooh, what yah talking about?"

We laughed and Shawny tried to hide her face but I moved her hands.

Me: "What you hiding for?, come here."

I lifted her chin and kissed her lips. I heard Mia oohing and and awwwing. Shawny blushed hugged me.

"Stop hiding, beautiful. I'm here with you."

Mia: "Awwww! I can't deal yah. This is tew much fa me."

I laughed and hugged her. I swear she could be my little sister.

Me: "We love you too MiMi"

She smiled grabbed me and Shawny hands.

Mia: "You guys are the best people in the world. I couldn't ask for a better family. Even though James is gone, I have yah and my kids. There's a piece of him in each and Everyone of you. Hes in my heart too. I love you guys and thank you for being there. You too Eric, you're a true friend. I might have just met you the other day but you've helped me take care of my kids and gave me a place to stay, I couldn't ask for more from you. Thank you, for being there when I needed a person to talk to and Shawny or D wasn't there."

A tear fell from her face and we hugged her. Im starting to think there's a chemistry between Eric and her. He get all soft around her and she blushes when he talks to her. I know she really loved Flexx and would have never thought of loving another nigga but Eric would be a perfect fit. Im starting to think we're growing up. Im happy to say, It feels good to be a man.

Shawny: "Okay, everybody. I gotta go pee."

We all laughed and I helped her up. I stood behind her because her ass cheeks were showing. Rico had his eyes on her the whole time and that shit was pissing me off.

Me: "Got something to say, kid?"

Rico: "Ask ya girl, She already know."

I clenched my jaw and balled my fist and I think Shawny felt me flex so she put her hand on my chest to get my attention.

Shawny: "Stop it."

She looked at him and raised her eyebrow.

"The both of you."

He smirked and she pulled me into the bathroom with her. I could hear him in the room talking shit but it was muffled once Shawny started peeing. I think she set me up when she brought me in here cause once she starting washing her hands, I got a nice view of that ass.

Me: "You trynna make me bend you over that sink and rip them damn stitches."

She turned around giggled at my comment.

Shawny: "I just wanted you to calm down. Yah both have anger issues and Im the only one who can control the both of you. Well, with the help of Eric & Mia. I got you but He might feel threatened by you even more."

Me: "Why is that? De'Shawn is there some shit you ain't telling me cause he says your his and you know I don't play that shit."

She held my hands and took a deep breath while staring into my eyes.

Shawny: "He's my ex boyfriend. The only reason we broke up, is because I decided that it would be best that we stayed friends because, you know how my parents are."

Me: "So, basically he's not your ex. He still is your boyfriend but you left without telling him and replaced him with me. You didn't even tell me that you had a boyfriend, but you gone leave this from me and have him in my face?"

Shawny: "Bae, when I left, I left him too. I love you and that's all there Is to it. Just because he's here, other doesn't change what we have. What he says is irrelevant, because that's the past. This is now. Im with you and there is nothing that can change that."

Me: "Do you still love him?"

Shawny: "Now, that isn't a fair question."

Me: "Nah, what isn't fair is you lying to the both of us. Now answer my fucking question."

A tear fell from her face and dropped her head.

Shawny: "No."

Me: "No, what, Shawny?"

Shawny: "I don't love him. I love you."

Me: "Are you sure about that?"

By this time she was crying and I was damn there crying too.

Shawny: "Yes, Im sure. I wouldn't waste two years of my life with someone I didnt love. You're my present and my future. My past shouldn't matter."

I kissed her passionately and wrapped my arms around her waste to deepen the kiss. Shit, I thought I lost her for a minute there. Shit got intense. I told I love her in-between kisses and we walked out the bathroom. Everyone was staring at us and Rico had tears in his eyes. I know this finna be some shit.

De'Shawn's POV:

I can't believe Rico told De'Mario that I belonged to him I don't belong to nobody. If anybody, its D. I love him and that's who Im gonna stay with. Rico can't just come back in my life after 2 years and fuck everything up.

Rico: "So, you don't love me, huh?"

I raised my eyebrow at him cause now I know everybody heard our personal conversation. He had tears in his eyes and I know it hurt him to hear me say that but it's true.

Me: "Rico, don't start."

Rico: "Nah, I spent 4 years of my life with you and all I get is a "don't start"?"

I can see D wasn't having it but I needed to handle this myself.

Me: "Can we not do this right now? Well, at least not infront of everybody."

Mia: "Shit, I wanna know."

D: "Me too."

Jr: "I gotta right to know, Lil Sis."

RJ: "You gone tell me anyway, so Im good."

I sighed and sat back in the hospital bed.

Me: "Not infront of the kids, Yah."

Kacey took the kids to the play area and I was hoping she could take Everyone else with her.

Rico: "Now that they're gone, I can say what I want."

D: "If you want your teeth, you can't."

I tried not to laugh but we can't have them fight.

Me: "Heyyyy, Stop it. Okay, Rico I know weve been through alot together and I cant erase 4 years. But you cant just expect me to throw away my life after 2 and come back running to you."

Rico: "So, you dont love or miss me at all?"

Me: "I do miss you but I love my man."

I grabbed my necklace and kissed it. D held my hand and kissed my cheek.

D: "Thats my girl."

I smiled and Rico walked towards me.

Rico: "Well, Im still in love with you and I cant just let you go. The shit weve been through, changed my life I cant erase that. Im glad your happy with him and thats all that matters but if he leaves you, Ill be here by your side. Just know that."

With that he walked out. I wonder if he know that D gone fuck him up sooner or later. I just thought hed know that.

Me: "Well, that went better than I thought."

I said resting my head on D's chest.

D: "Bae, get up. You forgot to eat your food."

I decided to eat and fall right to sleep on his chest. Mia smiled and had everyone clear the room.

Mia: "I'll be at the house. Call me if you need anything. Ill be back later to check up on you."

D: "Yeah, Imma be there cause I gotta bring her some clothes."

I rolled over so he can get up. He kissed my lips.

"I'll, be back. Ill go get your tooth brush and shit. Is there anything else besides clothes?"

Me: "My phone please."

D: "Alright, *kiss* I love you."

Me: "I love you too."

With that he left the hospital and I dozed off.

A week later...

Im getting released from the hospital today and Im too happy. I been spending more time with Mia & Kacey. I really think Kacey likes me a little more than friends but Imma leave that alone. Mia has been letting Eric watch the kids while she stays with me and it's weird that he does it. He's really a good man to her, though. If I didn't know better, I'd say they got something going on but don't know it yet.

My Boss was curious when I was coming back to work because I was supposed to come back last week but I was in the hospital but she said she'll just give me a month. Which I don't mind. I need to get back to school though, I missed too much.

D helps me pack my stuff and brings it to the car. The doctor told me to not have sex for 6 weeks just to be on the safe side. But I know that since Im not hurting anymore and the skin is back. Im good. I can't wait No more. He already planning beating it up tonight. Shit, I told the doctor that and she said as long as it don't rip again, Im good. So, you know what it is.

My missions still stands and we are going to Michigan tomorrow morning, for sure. This time, Kacey is gone watch the kids. Mia said she down, she doing it for James. That girl crazy but you gotta love her.

On the ride back to the house, I smile out the window. It's been a whole 7 days, I ain't breathe in fresh air. Shit, I love living. I feel free. D rolled up the window and I gave him the stank eye.

Me: "Why you always doing that?"

He laughed and continue to stare at the road.

D: "Cause, It makes you mad."

I kiss him on the cheek cause he play too much. He pulls over and looks at me.

"Look what you did to me."

I looked down at his shaft raised in his basketball shorts that only made it more noticeable. I bit my bottom lip and gave him a heart racing kiss then pulled away and sat back as he mugged me.

Me: "Baby, drive. Wait until we get home."

I laughed as he began speeding on the way home. He ain't say not one word. He just stared at the road and made it home. As he got out the car he smirked.

D: "We're home. Get cho ass out the car, Now."

I laughed but this nigga is serious. I hopped out and he Shut the door behind me before picking me up. On our way to the room, everyone was saying hi and wanted to talk to me.

"Not right now. We got some business to take care of. Excuse us. Do NOT disturb.!"

With that he slammed the bedroom door. He threw me on the bed and jumped on top of me.

D: "I been waiting all week to tear this pussy up and today you finna get it."

He kissed me roughly and we moaned between kisses. I wrapped legs around his waist and my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. He slid his hands in my shirt played with my breasts as he kissed on my neck. He slowly removed my shirt and unhooked my bra. He threw his shirt off and continued kissing my breasts. I turned us over and climbed on top of him to unhook his pants and take them off. I removed mine and he obviously blacked out. He flipped us back over and laid me on my back. He kissed me while his hand traveled down my spine. He grabbed my ass and deepened the kiss. His hand slipped inside of my thongs and his fingers were sucked in by my wetness.

D: "Damn, Shawny. Yo shit dripping. I know you want me inside of you."

He twirled his fingers around and I bit my lips.

"Mhmm, you like that?"

He removed his fingers and I wined.

Me: "Baby, stop playing!"

He smack my ass and gripped it. He sucked on my neck and I let out a moan. He Soon shoved two fingers inside of me that I've been craving. His thumb worked it's was around my Pearl and I could do nothing but moan. Once I made it to my climax, I tensed up.

D: "Cum for me, baby. Cum for Daddy."

Not even a minute later, I exploded all over his fingers. He shoved the fingers in his mouth and sucked my juices off. He then removed my panties and took out a condom. Once he pulled out his dick, I was soaking wet. He slipped on the condom and slowly put the tip in.

D: "How bad do you want me?"

I wanted him inside me so bad but this nigga playing games with me.

I wrapped my right arm around his neck and the other on his back and pulled him towards me. Causing him to enter me completely.

Me: "Ahh! De'Mario!"

D: "Well, shit. You asked for it. & Damn, Baby, you so fucking tight"

He smirked and started thrusting inside of me. Every stroke caused me to get wetter and he went deeper everytime. He raised my legs over his shoulders and I felt that shit in my stomach. By this time I was screaming and acting a fool.

Me: "De'Mario! Ahh, Fuck!"

He grunted and I arched my back.

D: "Damn, Shawny! Hold that shit."

Me: "Im trying!"

He stroked faster and deeper. My legs began to shake and I began to get wetter.

D: "Let it go, Baby. Let it go." He whispered in my ear and I gripped the sheets.

Me: "Ahh, Fuuuuuckk De'Mariooo!"

My muscles relaxed and I nearly passed out. D threw away the condom and slipped on another.

D: "Nah, wake Yo ass up. I told you this ain't what you want. Im finna finish what you done started. Come here."

Mia's POV:

I already know D and Shawny was gone go straight into that room when she got home. I laughed cause she been needing the dick since I came here and today Is the day she got it. She gone be a whole knew person once she done.

Im sitting on the couch watching Love & Basketball on TV. The kids in the room sleep so Im just chilling with Eric & the rest of the gang. Since me and Kacey cool, I let her chill with us. She chilling so we straight.

Eric: "You hungry?"

He's so nice to me and I appreciate him so much. That man can cook to so I guess he doesn't mind.

Me: "Yeah, Im starving."

I say with a laugh. He gets up and goes to the kitchen. I watch him as he cooks my food and sings to himself.

Me: "You love to cook, huh?"

He turned to see me staring at him from a stool in the kitchen. He smiled and nodded his head.

Mia: "I can tell. You're really good at it, like your singing."

He laughed and walked towards me placing his hands on my thighs. It's the first time he has touched me like this so it surprised me. I blushed and looked away. He lifted my chin with his index finger and placed his lips on mine. I eventually kissed back and loved every second of it. I've been wanting him to kiss me for the longest now. I smiled and tried to process what just happened. He bit his bottom lip and pulled away.

Eric: "Thank you."

His voice echoed in my head as I watched him finish cooking. I know Im glowing right now, and I can feel it. I've only felt this way before, and that was when James told me he loved me. If I didn't know any better, I'd say Im falling in love again. This man have been here for me since I lost the love of my life. My kids love him and Jermany accidentally called him Daddy once. He didn't mind but he told her that James is still with her so he can't be her Daddy. But a part of me wants him to be Step-Daddy. If not Daddy #2. I know this sounds crazy but he's been taking care of me just like James has. You can't say its just me because he just kissed me like he missed me. I felt James's lips in that kiss. I know it's more than him just wanting to be friends.

He placed my food infront of me and walked inside the room.

What the Hell just happened?

Eric's POV:

I think Im falling for this girl, Dawg. I mean her man just died and all but I been here for her. I've been taking care of those beautiful kids with her. Im the one who would hold her at night whenever she had a bad dream. Im the shoulder she cried on whenever she was missing her man and Shawny was in that coma. I got mad feelings for this girl and can't control them. I mean, she got two kids that ain't even mine. What nigga do you know will take care of some other niggas kids? Shit, I don't mind it. But mann, that girl got me sprung. Her laugh, her smile, I love how goofy she get at night. She just like a little baby, little do she know, we already together in a way. She sleeps in my bed now with me cause of her nightmares. I bought the kids a bed next to mine for them to sleep without being under us. We spend almost all day together unless she with Shawny and Im with D. She tells me everything and I tell her how Im feeling. We cuddle and watch movies from time to time but she always fall asleep on my chest. If that ain't some couple shit, then ion know what is.

After Mia was done eating, she came to join me in the room.

Me: "I thought you were watching a movie."

She smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.

Mia: "I was, but I decided to come in here."

She began to think about something, Which caused her to smile.

Me: "What's on yo mind, Mimi?"

Mia: "That kiss."

She blushed and I pulled her towards me to sit in-between my legs.

Me: "I been wanting to kiss you every since the day, you told me you needed me."

Mia: "I do, you're an amazing person and remind me alot of James."

I smile because even though she has feelings for me, she knows her man is still there in a way. Im glad I can compare to him, he was blessed to have her and now I get to treat her just like he never left.

Me: "Do you think he would mind If I held you like he did? Kissed you like he did? Loved you like he did?"

She turned to look at me and a tear fell down her face.

Mia: "No, I think he'll be proud of you. Taking care of business when he can't, ya know? I wouldn't mind either... I want you to."

She ain't have to say another word. She straddled me and I wrapped my arms around her waist tightly and kissed her roughly. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I deepened the kiss. I can feel her smiling, Which caused me to as well.

Me: "I love you, Mia"

She stared me in the eyes with tears ready to fall. She grabbed my ears and smiled from ear to ear.

Mia: "I thought I would never hear those words ever again. James is really watching over me and has just gave me permission to love again. That man is something else.*Giggles*"

She looked up to the sky and spoke the words a man would love to hear.

"*closes eyes and sighs* THIS is for you baby... *Opens eyes and stares at Eric* I love you too Eric. Now, let's get outta this room before we wake the kids."

I bit my bottom lip and grabbed her ass.

Me: "Hold up"

I kissed her like I been in prison for 20 years. When we released, we walked hand and hand out into the living room like it was normal.
