JESSIE

I feel like I'm about to pass the fuck out in this delivery room. The doctors allowed me, Aliana's momma and my momma to come in here. She pushing the baby out now. I feel sick as fuck but I can't take my eyes off it. I used to disrespect the fuck out of women but damn, I never knew they had to go through this much shit giving birth.

Her pussy stretching and all types of shit and she screaming and giving me a headache. "Awww, look at her head!" my momma exclaims as her and Aliana's momma take pictures of it. "Give me a big push, Aliana. You can do it." one of the nurses says in an encouraging tone.

Aliana lets out a loud ass scream as she pushes more of the baby out. "Oh shit." I mumble, staring at her small body. I'm literally watching a baby come out of a pussy hole. I don't think I wanna fuck raw another day in my damn life.

I don't see how my daddy handles dealing with this shit back to back. He must like it if all he does is get my momma pregnant. It's a beautiful thing but it's making me light headed and hot as fuck in this room.

Baby cries fill the room. "Oh my God, Jessie!" my mom exclaims, crying herself. Her and Aliana momma some emotional wrecks in this bitch. I guess they just happy as hell about the baby.

"Do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" one of the nurses asks. I nod my head yes. She points at what I'm supposed to cut. My momma puts her camera in my face as I cut it. "Awww mane, my baby is a father now." She says, sniffling.

I just cut the cord and I don't know how to feel. If this baby end up not being mine Imma be hurt as hell. My whole family excited as hell and I can't even lie like I didn't just get happy about it within these past few hours of waiting on the baby to come. I'm nervous but happy at the same time.

I watch as they clean the baby and everything. I don't know what none of this shit is but I'm watching close as hell. The baby starts screaming while they clean her nose. Aliana starts smiling and crying as they lay her down on her chest.

This the most random but best day of my life. I'm nowhere near prepared for a baby but I aint ever prepared for shit no way. Wal-Mart gone have to be my first stop when I leave here so I can get some small shit for the baby until I can get some sleep then go get better shit for her.

The doctors took Aliana out of the room to give her stitches I guess and they took the baby too. Now, all of us are in the waiting room waiting on them to come get us. My momma is sitting on my dad's lap showing him the pictures she took.

"How you feeling?" KeKe asks, sitting next to me. My whole damn family came to the hospital. Even my psycho ass grandma flew here from New Orleans. Montana couldn't come cause he in rehab but he called me earlier to say congratulations. The word spread so fast.

"I'm nervous. I don't know what it is but I got a bad feeling... I don't know. What if she not mine?" I ask, finally voicing my worries. "I think she is. I saw some of the pictures momma took... She got yo head shape and eyes and shit. She don't look shit like the girl but I guess it's too early to tell." He says. "Yeah, I was thinking that too." I admit.

My granddad Antonio and grandpa Nathan both walk over here. "So, you just had to be swinging dick and make my fine ass a great granddaddy?" granddad asks me. I chuckle. "My bad, old nigga. I just love pussy." I admit. "Damn, times have changed. I remember when you was just a baby shitting all over the gotdamn place." Nathan says, looking like he deep in thought.

I chuckle. "Be a father to that baby girl no matter what you do. Put her first. You may not realize it but your life ain't gone ever be the same. All the childish shit gotta go... you gotta be a man from here on out." My grandad says. I nod my head then take a deep breath.

The doctor walks out here then walks over to Aliana's momma and my momma. He motions for me to come to him. I stand up then walk over there. "Aliana lost a lot of blood. We rushed her into surgery but unfortunately, it was too late and she died." He says. Her momma breaks down crying. My momma starts holding her as she cries.

"What?" I ask. "She lost too much blood and it was a little too late." He says. "What the fuck you mean she lost too much blood and died? Wasn't it y'all job to make sure she was okay? You ain't got no better explanation than that?" I snap, getting in his face. He can't even give me a reason for her dying except that sorry ass shit he just told me.

"Sir-" I cut him off by putting my hand in his face. "I don't wanna hear that! What the fuck went wrong? She was fine when I left out that room now you telling me she dead? Mane, hell naw!" I yell, not even giving a fuck about my family seeing me cry. I'm hurt as fuck. All I can do is break down and cry like a bitch. I may not have been there throughout the pregnancy and I might've said shit about Aliana I didn't even mean but I could never lie like I didn't love her ass to death. I would've killed a nigga for Aliana. I was fucking her raw and all type of shit. I just never got with her for my own stupid reasons and now I can't believe she died.

My dad comes and lifts me up off the floor. "Jessie, calm down, mane." He mumbles. "I can't! This nigga just told me my baby momma died when she was just perfectly fine and he can't even give me no reason for it! Quit telling me to calm down!" I yell at him, snatching away.

I can't deal with this shit right now. I have never been so hurt and confused all at once. Her momma hollering and crying, shit I'm crying, and it's just a mess. My family trying to console me but that shit not working at all. The doctor can't even give no type of explanation to nobody and that's what makes it so fucked up.

Amari walks up to me then holds his arms up to get picked up. I can't turn my baby brother away but I ain't in the mood. I lean down then pick him up. He starts wiping tears off my face. "Don't cry, Jessie." He mumbles.

I shake my head then put him down. I gotta get the fuck out of this hospital. I walk out then to the stairs. I'm taking the stairs so I can be alone and think. I just got to the first floor. I walk out the hospital then start looking for the car.

I unlock it then get in. I'm crying uncontrollably now. I tried to hold it together as much as I could but I can't. I wish she didn't have to die. I know I joked about putting a hit on her but that shit wasn't real. I can't believe she really died like this. My momma died giving birth to me and now my baby momma died the same way having my daughter. It's like my life cursed and that shit really fucking with me.

I've been in here crying for two hours straight. I'm at the point where no more tears will come out and I'm just sitting here crying dry as hell and shit. I open the glove compartment then pull out the blunt  Majesty put in there earlier. My hand is shaking hard as fuck as I light it but I need it bad as hell right now.

I got the seat leaned back while I'm trying to smoke my pain away. Nobody understands how this shit feel. She died the same way my momma died having me. That shit so scary to me and I feel like I'm about to lose my mind.

Somebody starts knocking on the window. I unlock the door then let my dad get in. I hand him the blunt then watch him smoke it. "I know it hurt and I know you confused about where to go from here. When yo momma died having you and I found out I had a motherless child, it fucked with me, I can't even lie to you. But that shit made me stronger. You can't dwell on it because she'll never come back. You gotta be there for yo daughter more than anything, though, Jessie." He says.

"I'm just caught off guard." I tell him. "We all are but you'll make it through it. We here for you, mane. Whatever you need, we got it." He says. I nod my head. "I can't even cry no more." I admit. He puts his hand on my shoulder. "I think you should come meet yo daughter. She'll make you feel a lil better. Babies got a certain innocence that'll make you smile, mane." He says.

I nod my head then open the door. Both of us get out. "What if she ain't even my daughter?" I ask as we walk in the hospital. "Jessie, you know that's yo daughter. I know you." he says. I sigh then nod my head. "I held her and shit. She still new but she resemble you and especially you as a baby. That's why I'm almost positive it's yo baby." He says.

We just got on the labor and delivery hall. He leads me to a room. Aliana's momma is lightly crying while holding the baby in her arms. A nurse is in here. The mood is sad as fuck. Everybody just staring at me and shit. I walk over to the bed then sit on it. "What are you naming her?" Aliana's momma asks. "Aliana said Jelena Markayla Mitchell so that's what it's gone be." I answer.

"That's beautiful." the nurse says. I nod my head, staring at Jelena as she looks around. "Can I hold her?" my momma asks. She hands the baby to my momma. My momma smiles a little as a tear rolls down her face while staring at Jelena. "She's beautiful. She looks just like you, Jessie." She mumbles. I haven't really looked at her good yet so I don't too much know.

"Hold her, Jessie." My mom softly says. I shake my head no. "Naw... I can't." I mumble. She grabs my arms then pulls them apart. "Hold her." She demands. I gently take her out of her arms. She so lightweight and small. She just staring at me. She does look a lot like me. That shit crazy. "She your twin, bruh." Noble says, putting his hand on my shoulder.

It's like I love her already. "Let me see the gotdamn baby!" my grandma snaps. My momma looks at her. "Lady... behave for one gotdamn day please. This ain't the time for that bullshit. He going through hell for one and this is the day your first great grandchild was born so I expect you to act like it. Damn, Ant, get your fucking momma!" my momma goes off on her ass.

"Get your bitch." She says to my dad. "Stop. Damn, ma. Come on now. Chill."  He demands, looking down at my daughter. I can't believe I'm a daddy but it is what it is. I gotta do what I gotta do. I definitely gotta be there for her even more now.

I just woke up in my bed. I couldn't take her home because they had to keep her overnight but I'm about to get up and go get her now. My momma is taking me up there and to the stores to get what I need for her.

"Get your ass up. Rise and shine, big head ass boy. We got a baby to get today!" my momma yells, standing at the door. I glare at her as she stands there fully dressed and holding Dream in one arm. "Ma, she ain't going nowhere. Let me sleep another hour." I mumble. "What I tell you? Get the hell up!" she demands.

I stand up then glare at her. "Can I at least get dressed, ma?" I ask. "Yep and I'm watching to make sure you don't get back in that bed. I've been in this room four times to get you up and you keep going back to bed so I ain't leaving till you get up." She says.

I shake my head as I look in the clothes basket of clothes I need to fold and put up. I ain't even dressing up today because I got a lot of important shit to do and I have nobody to impress and I'm not in the mood to dress up. I'm about to throw on some Adidas joggers and a white shirt and call it a day.

"Dad coming?" I ask her as I brush my teeth. She walked her ass in my bathroom and everything. "No. He's watching the kids and keeping Dream for me. I do have his card though." She says. "What, you finna go blow his money on yourself?" I ask. "No, dummy. He gave it to me to go to the bank and get some money out to give to Aliana's momma to pay for her funeral and to also go shopping for everything for Jelena." She says. I nod my head then spit toothpaste out my mouth.

"Why does your bathroom smell like weed?" she asks. "I smoked last night, honestly. Ma... I'm stressed. I'm a daddy now and her momma died the same way my biological one did and it's scary to me. I don't know nothing about being no father and especially to a lil girl who don't have a momma." I vent to her. "It won't be easy but we here for you and her. You'll be fine." She says.

I nod my head then grab my phone off the counter. "Look at the picture I just sent you." She says. I go to my messages then open it. I can't help but smile. She sent a picture of Jelena lying on Aliana's chest after they cleaned her and me standing next to the bed looking at them. I save it then set it as my lockscreen wallpaper. "Thank you." I say.

She looks at my shower curtain. "You just love you some Tupac." she says, shaking her head. My bathroom is painted black and the counters are white and black. My shower curtain is a black and white picture of Tupac smoking. It was a gift from my granddad.

"You already know that's my nigga." I say, chuckling as I turn the light off. Dream reaches for me. I grab her then walk out. I gotta clear my mind. Ain't no going backwards now. Life hit my ass hard as fuck and fast too.

"Just look at Jelena like your younger siblings. You've always been a help to them. You've always been the one to get up in the middle of the night to change diapers and feed the babies and stuff. Nothing is different except she's your daughter. Look at it that way." She says. That was a good way to put it I guess.

JESSICA

We already got the baby from the hospital. She's been asleep for the longest. She's so pretty. She's kind of a quiet baby and that's a good thing cause we already got Dream screaming her ass off all the time. I left her at the house with Ant.

We're sitting in Aliana's mom, Alexia's living room talking about the funeral. She's lightly crying. "Thank you so much for giving me money for her funeral. Lord knows it's a big help." She says. I nod my head. "No problem. I'm so sorry for your loss." I say, hugging her.

She looks at Jessie then wipes her eyes. "Something told me everything wasn't gonna be okay... I just had a bad feeling. I've had that feeling for weeks. I knew she wasn't gonna make it... I just knew it." She admits, crying hard.

I look at Jessie as he stares straight ahead. "You can see Jelena any time you want." He tells her. "Thank you." she mumbles. She stands up then walks out of here. I look at Jessie then wipe the single tear off his face.

Alexia walks back in here holding a gold necklace. She hands it to Jessie. "What's this?" he asks. "Aliana wore it all the time... My grandmother gave it to me and I gave it to Aliana when she got older and she planned to give it to Jelena someday. I'm not sure where life will take me so please take it and keep it and give her that when she gets old enough to understand. I want her to always have a part of her mother." she explains.

Jessie nods his head, staring at the necklace. Aliana's brother Kameron walks in here crying. He walks over to Jessie. "Aliana never coming back forreal, Jessie?" he mumbles. "Naw... she never coming back but she in a place that's way better than here and she real happy now. She looking down on you right now." He says, smiling a little. His eyes widen. "Forreal?" He exclaims. Jessie nods his head yes. "Yep. I know you gone miss her and I will too but she somewhere fun where bad stuff don't happen. You wanna see your niece?" he asks.

Kameron nods his head yes. Jessie pulls the cover off of Jelena for Kameron to see. "Hey baby." Kameron mumbles, gently touching her. He laughs a little. "She so little. She don't look like Aliana. She look like you." He says, pointing at Jessie. That baby is his twin. She's a spitting image of him so it's really no point in him denying her anymore.

She starts crying. Jessie looks at me. "What's wrong with her?" he asks. "Check her diaper." I instruct. He checks. "She ain't wet or nothing. What she still crying for?" he asks. Alexia takes her out the carseat. She stops crying as she gets comfortable in her arms. "She just wanted some attention." I say, smiling and taking a picture of them as she holds her.

We stayed there for three more hours and we just left. It was a lot of laughing and crying going on. One thing for sure is the baby is the only thing holding them together right now. "Make sure you bring Jelena by to see them as much as possible." I say to Jessie. He nods his head, staring out the window.

We just got to this new baby boutique I recently went to for Dream.  It's crazy because I'll be doing this all over again soon for the twins. Ant and I haven't even planned our party for when we'll announce the pregnancy to everybody. I'm thinking about just having a dinner for our close people and telling them I'm pregnant then throwing a big baby shower later on.

Jessie gets Jelena out the back. Both of us walk in the store. "Hey, welcome!" the teenaged black girl at the register greets us. "Hey." I say, waving. Jessie nods his head at her. "Don't I know you?" she asks him. He shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know. You might." he answers, grabbing a baby headband with a large bow on it off a rack. That's cute.

"I'm Raven. I think we used to go to school together and take Mr. Shapely Chemistry class." She says. He nods his head. "You look familiar. Ion know though." He says. "Is this your baby sister? She's so cute." she says, looking at Jelena. "No. She my lil girl." he corrects her. She looks shocked as hell.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, let me know if you need help with something." she says. He nods his head. We walk over to a section full of newborn babygirl clothes. I chuckle as he grabs everything that says it's for a newborn. "I like all of it so I mean..." He mumbles. I shrug my shoulders, staring at my granddaughter as she sleeps peacefully. Life changes so much. I'm a grandma now. Wow.

"I think she likes you." I say, pointing at the girl who introduced herself as Raven. I know that look she's giving him. "I don't care. I'm just focused on Jelena and my mind in too many different places." He tells me. I nod my head, understanding.

Raven walks over here. "Are y'all finding everything okay?" she asks. "Yeah, we are. Thank you." I answer. She still is staring at Jessie. He turns around then looks at her. "What's your number? You looking at me real hard... just give me your number and I'll hit you up when I get time." He says, seeming annoyed.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be weird and stare." she tells him. "Look... I'll take yo number down. Just quit staring at me." He demands. She shakes her head. "Naw, I'm good." she says with an attitude. I watch as she walks away upset. I can already tell Jessie will take this out on others and I really don't want that.

ANT

"I guess it's y'all and me, youngins." I say to Amari and Dream as I drive. Vonte called me talking about come over his house for something. Reign didn't wanna leave and just stayed at the house with KeKe. Noble went out with his girl and Majesty had to go help Nathan with something.

I just pulled in Vonte' s driveway. I get out then open the door. I get Dream out then grab her diaper bag off the floor. "Come on, Amari." I demand, helping him out his car seat. I help him out the car then close the door. I grab him with my free arm then walk to the door. Vonte immediately opens the door then lets us in.

"Hey Bitch Drew!" Amari exclaims, hugging Drew. I walk in the living room then sit on the couch. "Quit cussing." I demand. "Wassup lil nigga?" Drew asks, smiling at him.
"How Jessie doing?" Vonte asks. "He fucked up about it. You know that's how Mahogany died too, bruh." I answer.

He shakes his head. "I feel bad for my young nigga. He took the baby home yet?" he asks. "Jessica went with him to get her and get some clothes and shit for her earlier." I answer. He shakes his head, putting his feet on the coffee table.

Sean walks in here. "Wassup Ant? Where my sexy girlfriend at?" he asks. I chuckle as I look him up and down. "Sean, LaLa ain't worried about you." I say, laughing. His lil crush on my daughter don't even bother me. "Yes she is. She think I'm sexy." He says. "Naw youngin... Ion think she swing that way." Vonte says, laughing.

I look him up and down. "Don't talk about my damn daughter." I say. He flips me off. Drew walks in here holding a big ass laminated banner. "This why I told you come through." Vonte says, pointing at Drew. "What is it?" I ask. "Can I ask Reign to my prom?" Drew asks. He caught me off guard as fuck.

"What?" I ask. "Can a nigga take yo daughter to prom, mane? I got this big ass banner made and shit and got balloons and all types of shit. Imma ask her whether you say yes or not but at least I had the decency to ask yo ass this time." He says.

I shake my head at him. "You know damn well she gone say hell to the naw to yo ass." I say, chuckling. "Never that cause Imma go all out for the shit." He says. "When you trying to ask her then?" I ask. "Tonight. My prom in a week. I wasn't going at first so that's why it's last minute." he answers. "In a week? The hell? I don't know mane... she doing better but she not all the way healed and I don't know if she gone wanna go with yo ass." I answer.

"Let me at least ask her then." He says. "Ask. It's up to you. Why you wait so damn late like we ain't gotta get her a dress and hair and all that other bullshit women do?" I ask. "You a rich ass nigga and you make shit happen whenever you want it so I figured you getting all that shit wouldn't be a problem." He says.

"Aight. Why her though? Thought you ain't give a fuck?" I joke. "It's just me being nice, mane, damn. She blocked me on everything and deleted all our shit so shit. I ain't got a date either." he says, shrugging his shoulders. "You got so much damn pride. Just say you love her ass. Nigga went and got a tattoo to represent her but you don't care?" Vonte asks.

"My tattoo don't have shit to do with her and I do care but I don't give no fuck about what happen." He says. "Ask her if you wanna ask her, mane. If she say no, that's on you." I tell him. "Imma need you to get her out the house for like an hour and me and Vonte gone set the shit up in her room if you aight with it." He says. I nod my head. "Yeah, that's straight. You gone have to wait though. I'll do it when Jessie and Jessica come back and when everybody at the house." I say. He nods his head.

He reaches down in his pocket then pulls out a box. "You think she'll like this bitch? Will it fit?" he asks, handing me the box. I open it up then smirk. He got her a heart shaped diamond ring. I take it out then examine it. "She'll like it and it'll fit but you doin this shit like everything good with y'all." I point out, handing it back to him.

"Fuck it. Whatever happens just happens." He says. I nod my head in agreement. Dream starts crying. I take  her out her seat then check her diaper. "Uncle Vonte ugly ass face made you cry, babygirl? My bad." I say. He flips me off then takes her from me. She starts screaming and crying. "Forget you too then, nipple sucking ass girl." He jokingly says as if she know what he means.

Drew starts laughing while he watches. I take her out his arms then hold her close to my chest. She stops crying. She just staring at Vonte like he ain't shit. "Even my baby know you a pussy ass nigga. A damn shame." I joke. He throws his middle finger up then stands up. "I'm finna go smoke. You coming?" he asks. "Do it look like I'm coming? I got the baby and Amari with me. Jessica ass gone kill me if I smell like that shit with the baby around me." I say.

"Pussy ass. She got pregnant now you soft as fuck." He says, shaking his head. "I ain't soft. I'm just respecting her like I should've been doing a long time ago. Who told you she pregnant?" I ask, trying to play it off. "Nigga, I seen her pregnant plenty of times. I can tell. Shit, anybody could tell she is." He says. "Hell yeah... her stomach round as a mothafucka. That shit slowly getting bigger." Drew says.

"She ain't pregnant." I lie. "Aight. You ain't fooling me. Old ass nigga got a baby on the way every damn year." He says. I shrug my shoulders. "Kids grow up fast and I get baby fever easy as hell, my nigga. Ion know why the fuck I love babies." I admit. They always keep me sane. "Soft ass nigga." him and Drew say in unison.

"Fuck y'all. We'll see who the soft ass nigga is once Reign turn yo dumb ass prom shit down." I say to Drew. "I could never be denied and especially not by yo daughter." He says. "Yeah, that's why she got yo ass blocked right? Shut yo ass up." I say, making Vonte laugh. These niggas dumb as hell.

NOBLE

"Why you looking like that?" Jaylah asks. We're sitting in an ice cream place eating. "Like what?" I ask. "I don't know. You just look like you bothered by something. Did I do something wrong?" she asks. "Naw... it ain't you. My brother just had a baby earlier and her momma died after giving birth. It fucked everybody up cause it's just sad, mane." I answer.

"Dang... That's so messed up. I'm sorry to hear that. Were they together?" she asks. "Naw... it's safe to say she was his though. He would've beat a nigga ass if she fucked somebody else but he wasn't with her." I answer. She shakes her head. "I feel so bad for him." she says. I nod my head.

"This my first niece though." I say, showing her the picture of me holding her earlier. "She's so pretty." she  mumbles, scrolling through the pictures. "Is that your brother?" she asks, pointing at the picture of Jessie and my momma in the waiting room. "Yeah." I answer. "I don't know if this is offensive or not but does he have a different mom or different daddy? He resembles you but he got some differences... Ion know." she  says.

"You nosey as hell but he got a different momma but he was raised by mine and she the only mother he ever knew so he treat her and love her like it." I answer. "What is he mixed with?" she asks. I shake my head at her. She nosey as a mothafucka but I know she don't be meaning no harm. "My daddy Puerto Rican and Black and his momma was all black." I answer.

She nods her head. "Damn, when we have children, they'll be so cute. You mixed with like a billion and one things and I'm black. Damn, they'll be really cute." she exclaims, smiling hard. "Yeah but more goes into having a baby than the way they'll look. I learned that shit when my parents started having babies and shit back to back. They cry a billion times a day, they be wanting hella attention, and they expensive as hell." I explain.

"Yeah, I know but I still want children one day. You don't want any?" she asks, seeming sad. "I didn't say that, Jaylah. It's just not the time. I got a three year old brother and a nine month old sister and now a newborn niece under one roof... That's too many babies in my life right now." I say.

"You don't think you'll ever get me pregnant?" she asks. "You trying to have a baby, Jaylah? I fuck with you and I can see myself with you for a long time but a baby? Naw... we ain't on that level yet." I tell her. She nods her head. "Okay and I respect that." she says.

I can't believe she just asked me for a baby. "Why you want one anyway?" I ask. "Cause I got issues, okay? I have low self esteem even if you think I'm real confident. I'm not. I feel like nobody cares about me except you and I know it's early and everything but I ain't going nowhere and I know my baby will always love me." she explains.

I stand up then walk to her side of the table. I scoot my chair close to hers then wrap my arm around her. "I get what you saying but that ain't the right way, Jaylah. The time gone come and Imma give you a baby, I swear. But now not the time. It's more to my life than you know and it's way more to me as a person that you don't know about yet and I gotta know you rocking with a nigga through all that first before we come anywhere near crossing that line." I explain.

She nods her head. "I'm sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way." she says. "Don't worry bout it. I get where you coming from but we just not ready yet." I tell her. My phone starts ringing before she can say anything. I pull away then answer it.

"Wassup pops?" I ask my dad. "Come home. Drew trynna ask Reign to his prom and everybody there but yo ass. I'm bout to make her go to the store with me so the nigga can set the shit up in her room." He explains. "What? Drew?" I ask, trying to make sure I heard correctly.

"Yeah. Same shit I said. Hurry up and come home, through." He demands. "Aight. Look, Imma take my queen home then I'll be there." I tell him. "Bet, ol in love ass nigga." he says, then hangs up.

"You always leave early when we go out." Jaylah pouts. I lean in then kiss her lips. "I got a big family and some of everything be coming up. I gotta take you home but Imma call you when I get done." I assure her. She nods her head then pecks my lips.

I took Jaylah home and I just got to my house. "Where dad at?" I ask Majesty. "With Reign at the store. This mane real deal finna do a promposal." He says, laughing. I shake my head then follow him up the stairs. Drew and my momma are in here setting shit up. He got some large pink foil balloons that spell prom and a lot of pink and white balloons some of everywhere. The nigga got a laminated banner, some gift bags everywhere, pink rose pedals on the floor, and a big bear.

"Jessie, call yo daddy and tell him we done." momma demands. "Somebody else call. Jelena crying." He says, holding her and trying to calm her down. My brother so stressed out, it's crazy.

REIGN

My dad made me go to the store with him just for him to grab a Twix then walk out. We just got back to the house. "We took a whole trip just for a Twix?" I ask, riding his back as he walks up the stairs. I'll never be too old for one of my daddy's piggyback rides.

"Yeah. I wanted you to come chill with me." He answers. "Sure." I say. "We bout to watch a movie with you in yo room." He says. "Can we watch Baby Boy? You know that's my favorite movie." I say. "Whatever you wanna watch, my baby." He answers, making me laugh. He talks like a southern ass Louisiana crocodile hunter or something.

"What's funny?" he asks, putting me down. "Your accent." I answer. He throws his middle finger up at me then wraps his arm around me. "My daughter all grown up, mane. Damn." he says, smiling. I chuckle. "I'll never be too grown for you, old man. Get our your feelings." I joke. He smiles then plants a kiss on my forehead. My daddy a real thug to the outside world but he a teddy bear when it comes to me, my sisters, and momma.

"Why my door closed?" I ask. "Ion know. LaLa and Tae probably been in there knowing them." he answers. I open the door then jump and scream in shock. It's balloons everywhere and some giant ones that spell the word prom. It's gifts and rose pedals everywhere.

Noble, Majesty, and Jessie just walked out my bathroom holding a big ass banner asking me to prom. I smile wide as Drew walks out behind them holding a big bouquet of pink roses. He hands them to me. "Oh my God!" my momma exclaims, recording on her phone.

I'm too shocked to even talk. I'm just standing here surprised. "These for you." He says, smiling and handing me the flowers. I take them from him. He pulls a box out his pocket then opens a ring box. My mouth drops. "Drew." I mumble as my heart beats fast as hell. "Ain't nobody finna propose to you, mane. You'll go to a nigga prom?" he asks, making everybody laugh cause he so serious.

"Yeah." I answer. "Aww damn, I was waiting on her to say no." Uncle Vonte says, laughing hard. Drew pulls me in a hug then looks at my dad. "Look at this." He says, then crashes his lips into mine. "You so damn bold." KeKe says, chuckling. My eyes are wide as fuck in shock.

"You know what... My daughter happy, I'm happy, I just welcomed my first grandchild today... so I ain't gone beat yo fuckin' ass today." My dad calmly says. "But I am." Tae says, play fighting Drew. I'm so happy right now, I don't know what to do. My daddy didn't beat his ass and he actually went all out. Today has been bittersweet as hell but I couldn't be any happier right now.
