      Letting the hot water stream down her body, she stood under the water with her eyes closed as she thought about everything that transpired last night. Soon she felt arms snake around her body and felt his body press up against hers causing her to sigh in content and to relax in his hold.

Placing soft kisses on her shoulder, she moved her neck giving him full access and he wasted no time kissing and sucking in different areas being sure to leave his mark.

Reaching his right hand up he gripped her left breast in his hand squeezing it and pinching her nipple but kept kissing and sucking on her neck. Continuing his actions he used his free hand to spread her legs then rubbed two of his fingers over her slit feeling how wet and ready she was for him.

Dipping two fingers inside her he slowly slid them in and out, while mumbling how sorry he was for yesterday and how much he loved her in her ear.

Yanking her head back by her hair, he devoured her lips into a slow sensual kiss but he continued to finger her loving how her body shook against his.

Turning her around so they were now facing each other, his hands wondered all over her body while he kissed and sucked leaving marks in areas only he would be able to see.

Cali let out low moans wishing he would just fuck her already but did she like how gentle he was being and how his big hands groped her body. The kisses he was planting on her body started to get lower and lower.

He sucked on her titties for a moment then got lower and kissed all around her stomach, kissing each stretch mark and the c-section scar she had got after giving birth to Adrian.

Cali knew what he was about to do and the thought alone turned her on more. Getting completely low, he made her raise her leg and placed it on his shoulder so he was now eye level to her pussy.

She instantly covered her mouth to quiet down her moan once his tongue came in contact with her clit. She looked down just when he looked up and while they locked eyes he continued to feast on his favor set of lips like it was last meal.

She panted, she screamed, she moaned and cried out for him to stop even though she wanted him to do everything else but actually stop. His goal was to get her to cum for him three times and so far she did twice.

He wasn't too much worried about getting his nut, he just wanted to make up for how he talked to her and treated her last night and this was just part of what he had planned to make it right.

Once she came that third time, he smirked then french kissed her pussy before rising up and pulling her into a lustful kiss. His plans were not to fuck her but with the way his dick was throbbing and how tight she held onto him he knew this was what they wanted and needed.

Lifting her up, he pressed her against the shower wall as her legs locked around his. Sliding into her slowly, he hissed as she let out a moan throwing her head back then she began bouncing up and down.

The rest of their morning was spent with them making love until the kids woke up.

Cali was now downstairs cooking breakfast while Ahmad was upstairs getting ready for work. Armoni stood in the kitchen watching her mamas every move, whilst the other kids that stayed for the sleep over where all in the living room watching cartoons.

Ken soon entered the kitchen wanting some more juice, quickly refilling her cup she sent him on his way so he could get back to watching the show.

When Ahmad made his towards the front, Armoni literally dropped what she had in her hands and took off running into his arms. "Hey my monibear," He cooed kissing her cheeks repeatedly causing her to let out a fit of giggles.

Adrian and Marquette soon got up and ran over to hug him and give him morning kisses which is what Ahmad loved the most about waking up in the mornings.

After each one gave him a hug and a kiss the boys took off while Armoni decided to stay in his arms. Walking into the kitchen he spoke to all the kids then walked over to Cali kissing her and smacking her on the ass. "You want me to wrap your plate up?"

"Yeah extra bacon for me please and um ma' and pops coming to get the kids later today .. I wanna take you out tonight so we can have a sit down and just talk."

Wrapping his plate in foil, she handed it to him. "Okay, I'll pack their bags .. but what should I wear for tonight?"

"Anything thats easy to take off," Smirking to himself, she grabbed Armoni from his arms putting her down on the floor then motioned for her to go wash up for breakfast.

Turning her focus back on Ahmad, she shook her head. "You just don't stop do you?"

Pulling her into him, he smirked then leaned down leaving kisses on her neck and gripping her ass in both of his hands. "You didn't want me to stop earlier,"

"See yeah, It's time for you to go to work,"

"Man whatever. You just better be ready by nine,"

"I will, drive safe and text me when you make it."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you more,"

Kissing her on the lips a few times, he bit her bottom lip then slid his tongue in her mouth. Their lips moved in sync with one another as they found themselves getting lost within' the kiss. But their moment was ruined when they heard Armoni singing to Love on Top by Beyoncé.

Pulling away she blushed then turned back around to continue making the kids plates. Ahmad said bye to their kids giving them hugs and kisses before finally heading out and leaving Cali all alone with like twelve kids.

She knew once all their parents came to get all of them she was heading straight over to Alisha's boutique to gossip about what happened last night and this morning.

But she also hoped that tonight Ahmad confessed to where he went last night as well. She saw the blood on his shirt this morning and she could only assume where he went but she actually wanted to hear it from his mouth where he went.

      Twan exited out of his car with roses as he proceeded to walk through the gravesight to get to Amira's toombstone. Reaching it he changed out the flowers to keep her section cleaned and nice.

He often came out to her grave to vent or to release built up tears and emotions. It had been a minute since he came to visit her and after eveything that has happened she was still the only person he came too when shit got bad.

Tracing her name with his finger, he shook his head. "I still can't believe its been two years since you passed .. alot don' happened though as you should know since I been keeping you updated on my life but um well baby I got my associates degree and I'm working on getting my bachelor's. I'm doing everything you believed I could do and I hate you couldn't see this change of mine but I will continue to do my best for you and our unborn."

"...but baby girl I have a favor to ask and I just ask that you watch over your girl Imani .. she's been through so much since you passed away, and I know she meant alot to you and over the years she's became someone important to me as well and I just want to see her do better. I want to see her truly happy so I just ask that you look over her .. she misses you hell we all do, life truly does suck without you but we try to continue to live it the best we can .."

"I dream about you every night, hell I still think this is a dream even after two years this still doesn't feel real but thats just me on my wishful thinking shit .. I do wish I could hold you one last time, to kiss you, to see your face just so I can tell you how beautiful you are but I'll continue to do so in my dreams .. uh but I officially made up my mind about not dating again, its not because I'm sad or anything its just that I don't want anybody else but you and since I can't have you .. I don't want anybody. I personally feel that every one has that somebody that is perfect for them and that was you Amira .. I just happened to lose you but you'll forever be in my heart and I'll always love you."

After leaving her gravesight he headed straight over to the hospital to check in on Imani. He had been trying to get in touch with her since last night and due to her never getting back to him, he became worried.

Getting on the elevator he pressed the floor number she was on then leaned against the wall. Reaching her floor, he stepped off making a right only to be stopped by a doctor. "You're here to visit Imani right?"

Frowning he nodded, "Yeah why?"

"We've been trying to get in touch with you guys all morning, but she left. We aren't sure where she is but she left in the middle of the night but she left a note." Reaching in his lab coat pocket he handed it to him for him to read.

Unfolding the note, he walked over to the waiting area taking a seat then began reading.

Whoever gets this note first please inform everyone that I am okay and that I am safe. I got tired of depending on everyone and finally wanted to seek help for myself without you guys help. I left in the middle night so no one would stop me. I'll be back in three months, I'll miss all of you and I will call whenever I get the chance. Thanks for everything you all have ever done for me, it really did and does mean alot.

- See you guys soon
Love Mani

Alisha stepped out of the shower wrapping her towel around her nude body then stepped into the room ignoring Shaun's stares before dropping her towel to be extra childish.

After she got her dick while Nolan was gon', she went back to ignoring him, "Why is you still ignoring me? I just dicked you down good and ate your ass .. what more do you want?"

Tossing her hair into a ponytail, she walked towards him still naked and all. "I want you to have a sit down with your dad,"

"Nah, just continue to ignore me."

Smacking her teeth, she pushed him back on the bed then straddled his lap. "Shaun people are only blessed with two parents, you may not have both but you at least have your dad and you know he loves you and was always there for you .. and you know if something were to happen to him while you guys are at odds it would kill you inside .. at least give him a chance to explain everything before you just say to hell with him."

Reaching his hands up, he massed her boobs while she rubbed her hands up and down his bare chest. "I'll think about it,"

"It wasn't a suggestion Shaun, you need to do this and fast. He's already suffering with Lupus, the last thing he needs to be worrying about is if he lost his son or not."

Dropping his hands, he sighed. "It's not even really him I'm mad at .. its her. I know hate is a strong word but I hate her. Just like a son needs they daddy, a son needs they mana as well .. I never got that motherly love and here I am now twenty-nine years old and she's here .. but I'm like where was you then when I really needed you? I'm just not ready to face her yet cause its not gon' be pretty. I got too much hate in my heart at the moment."

"And I get that .. and with that whole situation I feel you should take your time but when it comes to your dad please talk to him .. I can't have my men at odds and Nolan misses his grand daddy."

"Your men?"

"Yes, I told you your daddy was lowkey my man .. you just thought I was playing." Laughing to herself she rose up off his lap and walked into their closet throwing on one of his t-shirts.

Walking over to Nolan's crib, she saw he was still sleeping peacefully. After Cali dropped him off at her store, he started to get back sick so she fed him and put him to bed which was two hours ago and he was still sleep now.

"We've done everything the doctor has said to do and he's still not getting any better. You think our doctor is just dumb and doesn't know what he is talking about?"

Shaun shrugged, "I mean he was my doctor since I was a kid and I turned out fine."

Snapping her neck in his direction, she gave him a horrified look. "Oh gosh, we need to get a new doctor asap then."

Flicking her off, he flipped the covers back getting underneath them and watched as she got in next to him. "If he doesn't get better in two days we're taking him back."

"Alright and I'll call my pops tomorrow and hear him out .. I ain't gon' lie I did miss talking to his old ass."

"Good, because I honestly would have hated to sneak behind your back to go see his fine ass."

"You got one more time," He threatened.

"Whatchu gon' do?"

"No dick for a week,"

She stopped laughing immediately, "Let me stop playing then,"

"Yeah that's what I thought,"

She flipped her hair, waving him off. "Boy bye yo daddy fine as hell,"

Sitting up, he nodded. "Alright since yo ass wanna play so much, lets play a game."

"I like games, I'm all ears."

"Let's see who can go the longest without being tempted to have sex, its easy for me .. I mean you fine and all but I can resist myself."

Alisha busted out laughing, then lifted the shirt she wore revealing her nude body. "You really think you can resist all of this? Okay buddy, let the games begin."

When she went to pull her shirt down, he stopped her. "We can start the bet start tomorrow, take that shit off."

Sitting across from Ahmad, Cali hit his head when he kept looking at her breast. "Can you please focus on what I am saying rather than my titties?"

"I can't help it, I know I said wear something that was easy to take off but not see through. I can see your nipples through the dress and its making my shit hard as hell."

Looking down she shrugged, "Anyways like I was saying, baby I wanted to apologize for what I did. I know I should have said something sooner. If the situation was flipped I would have been pissed too especially if it were an ex of yours."

Grabbing her hand, he kissed the back of it. "Nah, I'm sorry for how I talked to you. I was dead ass wrong for coming at you like that and threatening you, when my anger was really directed towards him. So I'ma be straight honest, last night I went to his house and I beat his ass, I let my anger get the best of me. I was forreal tripping last night, yeah his bitch ass deserved it but I could have and should have handled the situation better."

Cali let out a sigh, "I figured, but I honestly don't blame you..Reggie had it coming but its just I know how Reggie can be, he might try something slick or pull a stunt out of anger.. shit between us has been so good and I will not let him or anybody else fuck up what we got going. Our kids our healthy, gaining more support for the team, our businesses are booming at this point it should be good vibes only and I just know Reggie hating ass gon' try to interfere."

"And if he does, I'll handle it. I knew his ass was putting up a front whenever he came around. I never liked him, and I honestly don't see why he still trying to get at you when he sees you clearly moved onto bigger and better."

"I know and his wife Jada, I feel sorry for her. I could only imagine what she goes through."

Ahmad laughed, "She don't give a damn about that nigga, when I answered that door I said tell yo bitch ass husband to come outside .. she ain't get loud back, didn't fuss or ask questions she simply nodded then walked her bow legged ass inside the house to get him. I wish yo ass would let a nigga come to my doorstep and disrespect me."

"I would never, hell that nigga would have to fight me first before he could even think about laying a finger on you."

"That's why you my baby," Leaning forward she kissed his lips.

"Can't nothing break us apart,"

"Damn right," He replied just when the waiter began sitting their food down.

Thanking him, he asked if they needed anything else then went on his way to the next table. "Okay, so I also wanted to discuss something else with you."

"What?"

"My dad .."

"Your dad?"

"—yeah he hit me up like some months ago and we've formed like a relationship so I was thinking I would let the kids meet him so they could at least have a relationship with one of their grandparents, but I first want me and Chris to have a sit down with him then you, him and I and if they all go well I was thinking we invite him to the house so the kids could meet him. He knows all about us and the kids and he really wants to meet you guys."

Ahmad was shocked about the news but overall happy since he knew with the way her mama was acting out it really had her feeling some type of way. "If that's what you want to do then I'm down, plus I do feel the kids need to be able to get to know your side of the family .. all they know is mine."

"I'm really hoping it goes well, Chris and I are meeting up with him next week. I'm nervous."

"Don't be nervous, I'm sure it'll all work out."

Feeling his phone vibrate, he held up his hand signaling her to hold on before answer, "Yo, whatchu need boy?"

Cali watched as Ahmad's smile slowly turned into a mug, wondering what was happening. He would nod his head ever so often, but the frown and the look of sadness never left his face.

Touching his hand, he looked up at her and shook his head letting her know the phonecall wasn't a good phonecall.

"Stop worrying Twan, just come back to the house and we'll discuss it then but relax first okay?"

Once he hung up, Cali looked at him waiting to hear what was going on. "Imani has ran away, she left a note saying she would be back in theee months and would call us when she could. She said was fine and not to worry but when it comes to her its like you can't help but worry."

"What are we gonna do?"

"What can we do? Twan said her phone is off so we can't track it .. hopefully when she calls she will tell us everything we need to know but until then we just have to wait."
