"Let a nigga try me." - Dej Loaf
REIGN

I don't know why my dad made me ride to Walmart with him because he didn't even say anything on the way there. In the store he just asked me simple questions about what snacks I wanted. Now we're on our way back home. He keeps on glancing at me and I don't know what's on his mind.

"So, wassup with you?" he slowly asks me. "Daddy why you talking so slow? Your accent made that sound weird." I say. Even though I'm used to my daddy's thick New Orleans accent, every once in a while he says some things that make his accent completely stand out to me.

"I'm just chillin'. Now, wassup with you?" he asks again. "What do you mean? Why are you asking me that?" I ask. "Cause I'm just trying to see where yo head at, that's all." he answers. I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. Nothing really." I answer.

"Where yo head at when it come to these niggas?" he asks, turning the radio off. "I don't have a boyfriend." I answer. He nods his head. "What happened to ol boy Jah? You ain't been going behind my back to fuck with dude lately. What's goin' on?" he asks. "You're gonna want to kill him so I'd rather not tell you." I say. He shakes his head. "Reign, I don't ever wanna see you hurt behind no nigga. I never wanna see my daughters shed tears over a nigga but the reality is that's gone happen regardless. I just gotta accept that you growing up and be more open minded. You ain't gotta be scared to tell me what happened. I'm calm." he says.

"Well, Jah just wanted sex from me. Yeah I knew that kinda from the start but over time I thought he really liked me and had real feelings for me. So some days ago he called me and told me that he just wanted sex from me in the beginning but now he really wanna start over and stuff. I don't know why but my feelings were real hurt so I've been ignoring him all together." I explain.

He nods his head. I'm just waiting on his extreme over reaction. I won't be surprised if my dad sends a hit on Jah tonight. "Daddy, don't do nothing to him." I say. I already know how my daddy get down.

"I'm not. Why you go for Jah thug ass?   Him being like nineteen might not seem like it's a big age difference cause you just turned sixteen and that's three years apart but it is. He got a child and he been through hell in his life. You just a spoiled lil rich girl, ya know? It's a big difference. He on a whole other level. Be real, you ready to love on a nigga baby like your own, cook for a nigga and shit, and take dick when he ready to give you that shit? Cause best believe ain't no sexually active grown ass man gone not get no pussy on a regular from his girl." he says.

I sigh. "Not really. I'm not having sex yet. I'm really not ready." I admit. "Exactly. I hope you get where I'm coming from though. You still a young girl finding himself when he a grown man. Jah been grown before he was legal. Both of y'all on two different levels. Maybe, when you get a lil older and I get to know the nigga better and see where his head at,  I might approve." he says, catching me off guard.

"You willing to get to know Jah?" I ask, shocked. "I don't fuck with him at all but I mean I can't stop you from liking young niggas and growing up. I can't stop that lil puppy love bullshit, ya know? The least I could do is get to know him and if he straight I'll approve of it when you a lil bit older." he says. "I don't know if I should deal with him. His baby momma is Noble's first love, Touri. Plus, he was playing me." I say.

"If you really gone try to fuck with him at some point in life, you can't hold on to the past if he really wanna fix shit. I was playing yo momma for some pussy for a while and fucked around and fell in love with everything about her. You just never know." he says. I raise my eyebrow. "Why you being so nice about this?" I ask. "Cause I'm being a realistic parent. I can't force you to not have yo lil crushes and like boys." he says.

I nod my head. "I don't know if I should ever even deal with Jah." I admit. He nods his head. "Now just not the time for that. I can tell you right now and you need to listen even though the reality is I can't control you, right now you ain't ready for him or any other nigga who set up like that and I ain't just saying that. I know what I'm talking about." he says, looking me in my eyes as he stops at the red light.

My heart starts beating fast as my dad stares in my eyes. It's something about how he's looking at me. He looks like he's scared. It's probably the only time I've ever seen my dad so serious and nervous. "What you looking so... so afraid for?" I ask. "I don't ever want you hurting over no nigga. That shit gone hurt me so bad, Reign, that's my biggest fear. The last thing I want is for some karma for the bullshit I did in my life to come back on my daughters. And now that the time for you to find yourself and start having conversations with boys is here I'm scared." he admits, pulling off.

I blink out a few tears. "I don't wanna end up with the wrong person or in a situation I don't wanna be in." I admit. "Don't rush to love and don't do shit with a nigga cause he want you to or cause he telling you what you wanna hear. Hold on to yo virginity, babygirl. Once that shit gone it ain't ever gone come back. So be smart about it. Don't go give yourself to anybody and don't be throwing yourself at nobody cause they look good. I ain't made no ugly daughters so you ain't got no reason to run up behind no nigga. Let these niggas chase you, princess, you too beautiful and amazing to chase niggas." he says. I can tell he knows I'm attracted to Drew.

"Daddy, Drew said he wouldn't ever talk to me because I'm the type to leave when my boyfriend life gets hard. He said I couldn't be a rider and that I'm not attractive to him and he said I'm the type that think people are beneath me because my family's rich." I say. He raises his eyebrow. "To hell with Drew lil dumb ass. Don't you ever throw yourself on him again. If he don't wanna fuck with you, fuck him. Never chase a nigga." he says, making me laugh because of his facial expression.

I smile. "Yeah that was lame of me." I admit. He starts laughing. "Daddy, I want food." Amari softly says. I look back at him. He's sitting in his car seat rubbing his eyes. Amari is so tiny. He gonna be riding in car seats for so long. "Lil man, I see you finally woke." my dad says, glancing back at him. Amari starts pouting. "Food." he whines. "We almost home. What you want to eat?" my dad asks him. "Alpa soop." he answers. He was trying to say alphabet soup. The way toddlers talk is so funny to me.

"I got you lil man." my dad says, handing him the remainder of his Rotel he was eating. My daddy's ghetto ass brought a whole container of Rotel that my momma cooked to Walmart with him and was eating it while shopping.

I hand Amari the tortilla chips. "Please don't get it in daddy fresh ass car, son." my dad says, making Amari laugh. My daddy love his red Rolls Royce Wraith so much. It is a really nice car though.

We just got to the house. We brought all of the bags in. "Wassup baby momma?" my dad asks my momma as she stands in the kitchen cooking. "Hello baby papi." my mom says, making my dad laugh. They're the most dysfunctional exes on the planet.

I roll my eyes at Drew as he sits in one of the bar stools at the kitchen bar watching my momma cook. She has on some Nike leggings, a tank top, and my daddy's Gucci flip flops she took out of his closet. Drew's eyes are literally glued to my momma's ass. I can literally see how horny he is just by how he staring at her like a dog in heat. He's probably over there fucking her in his brain.

"Girl I bet that he be acting all cocky like. Like he deserve you and you so lucky to be with him. Bet he be treating you rude, always got an attitude like he's the only dude made for you, woah. But I bet he didn't count on, a little nigga like me coming 'round giving you things to think about cause I know what's up. Since he ain't tryna step it up, don't you think you should give him up?
Cause he ain't worth your love." he sings Chris Brown's song Ya Man Ain't Me. The crazy part is Drew can sing. He just sang his ass off and it caught all of us off guard.

"Drew you didn't tell us you can sing." my mom says, smiling and clapping for him. I chuckle. My momma has no idea he just threw a whole damn shade tree at my dad by singing that. I'm starting to think Drew really is dead serious about trying to pursue my momma. But her being the kind hearted person she is won't really pay his shit any mind.

"Thank you. That's how I'm feeling." he says, innocently smiling at her. "Awww. Girl problems?" my mom asks. She so ready to give advice when he talking about her. I face palm myself. I'm so disgusted.

My dad silently walks to the refrigerator. He opens it then grabs the pitcher of kool aid. "Where Amari go?" my momma asks my dad as he pours some in Amari's Star Wars cup. My dad doesn't say anything. He walks over to Drew then dumps the whole pitcher of kool aid on his head. "Ant, what the hell?" my mom snaps as my dad swings the pitcher at Drew's face, knocking him off the bar stool.

"Yeah nigga! Sing another song at her and see what the fuck happen! I bet her man wouldn't let another nigga slap his ass off a bar stool with a juice pitcher with yo bitch ass!" my dad snaps on Drew. I burst into laughter as Drew sits on the floor covered in red kool aid.

My mom glares at my dad as she helps Drew up. "Ant this is a fucking child! Stop being so fucking ignorant! The fuck is wrong with you?" my mom screams at my dad. Her face is red and she is clearly pissed off right now. My momma got this big ass heart for children so I already knew that was coming my daddy's way.

"Man, Jessica, his balls hang like mine do. His disrespectful ass ain't no child." my dad says with an attitude. "He is seventeen years old! You don't know shit about him! Stop being so gotdamn rude to him and Sean! Sit and talk to the boy and you'll learn a lot about him and his little brother! You always gotta be an ass hole!" she yells at my dad.

My dad starts pacing the floor. "Let me just walk outta here before I say some shit I shouldn't say." my dad calmly says, walking out the kitchen. I walk over to Drew then grab his phone off the floor. It fell out his lap when my dad knocked him down. I hand it to him. "Pussy." I whisper in his ear, laughing.

He doesn't say anything. "You alright? Reign, go get him a towel and one of your brother's shirts." my mom demands. I walk out of the kitchen then run up to Noble's room. Majesty's in the other king bed in here knocked out sleep. I quietly open Noble's drawer then grab his shirt he got in the Bahamas. I walk into him and Majesty's bathroom then grab one of the black and gold Versace towels.

I walk back downstairs then into the kitchen. I hand Drew the towel and shirt. He's just blankly staring into space like he zoned out. "Imma fuck ya daddy up when he least expect that shit. Believe that. You have no idea what yo pops just started." Drew says to me.

"Boy ain't nobody scared. You dumb if you think you'll come close to harming my daddy." I say, laughing. "You just mad cause he did you dirty." I add, dying laughing. "You and yo daddy just alike. Too cocky for yall own good. Like I said, yo pops don't know what he just started." Drew says.

"Cut it out." my mom demands. I wonder why Drew didn't fight my dad back or anything like that. He just took it. He starts shaking his head. "You and yo daddy got the big heads I see." he says. I ignore him then walk out the kitchen. I'm about to go tell my dad about what Drew just said so he'll know about what's going on. I always got my daddy's back, period. I'm calling uncle Vonte to get his damn responsibility too. Drew and Sean have been over here too long. They need to go home.

JESSICA

I just let Vonte in the house. He hugs me then kisses me on my cheek. "Where my niggas at?" he asks. "Sean is sleep in the guest room and Drew is in there watching a movie. Ant got into a little altercation with Drew, fair warning." I say. He nods his head. "I really don't feel like getting lost in this big ass mansion so imma just call and tell them come downstairs so we can go." he says. I nod my head.

The front door opens. Noble walks in with his little friend. "Hi." she mumbles. Noble nods his head at Vonte then hugs me. "What's she doing here?" I ask. I'm not asking in a rude way. I'm just curious. Noble knows good and well his daddy don't want no extra people he don't know in his house.

"I was about to have sex with her... don't be mad. But her mom walked in and kicked her out and she don't have nowhere to go and I figured since it's my fault, it's my responsibility to make sure she can lay her head somewhere til her momma let her come home so can she spend the night?" he asks. I raise my eyebrow.
"You gone have to ask your daddy. You know how your daddy is, Noble." I say. He sighs. "Can you just pay for her a hotel room then? Daddy gone do the most and I'm not in the mood." he says. "It ain't about what you're in the mood for. It's your daddy's house so what he says go. Go talk to him." I say.

"Imma go to the car with her and call him and talk to him." he says. I nod my head then watch them walk outside. I walk upstairs as Drew and Sean walk down. Their story was so deep to me. While Ant was gone, I had a long conversation with Drew about his life. He's been through so much and for that child to still be standing so strong is a blessing in itself. Their story was so deep and it made me emotional while he talked to me.

I walk into Ant's room. He's laying in the bed wrapping up his phone call with Noble. He hangs the phone up then sits his phone down on the nightstand. "Ant, let's talk." I say. "I ain't got shit to say." he dryly says, not looking at me. "I was wrong for screaming how I did so I'm wrong. I didn't try to flip out like that but I did because you were wrong. I talked to Drew about a lot... and I learned so much about his life. He's been through so much hell in his life and you doing what you did threw me over the edge because it was just extra when he's going through enough." I explain. "I don't care." he says.

"That's fine. Talk to me when you through being an ass hole." I say. "Let yourself out my room." he says. "How bout imma let myself out your house. I'm taking Amari, Tae, LaLa, and Dream and we're going to Torren's house. I don't feel like fighting with you so I'm gonna leave." I say. "Don't let the door hit ya." he dryly says.

I shake my head at him then walk out. I walk into Amari's room then sigh. It's getting late. Plus the kids and my baby are sleeping. I might as well just stay and ignore Ant's existence at this point.

NOBLE

My dad agreed to let Miracle spend the night. He gave me rules though. He said that she has to sleep in the guest room and that I can't sleep with her. He said he personally don't care about me having sex but I can't do nothing with her because he wanted to be respectful to my momma cause she wouldn't approve of it.

He told me tomorrow she gone have to go talk to her momma though. My dad got hidden cameras in this room that his cartel security who are like family to us are watching closely so it ain't like she could do nothing foul even if she wanted to. "The shower in the guest bathroom is computer operated. It's a pad on the wall for you to adjust it how you want it. I put you some  towels and stuff on the sink and my momma brought you an extra tooth brush, some of that lil shower gel women like, and some new bottles of body spray with the matching lotion. She told me to tell you you can keep it if you want and to consider it a lil gift." I say, smiling at her.

She chuckles. "It feels funny being in this big mansion. I've never seen anything like this. Even this guest room is like it's a part of a kingdom. Wow. What do your parents do? This house is nice." she says. "They business people." I answer. I'm partially telling the truth but we keep the drug dealing on the low.

She nods her head. "Wow." she says. I lean down then kiss her. She smiles. "Wanna have rich sex?" I jokingly ask. She smirks at me. This house is so big so it ain't like I'll get caught. She nods her head yes.

"I'll be back. I gotta get some condoms." I say, walking to the door. I stop dead in my tracks as my mom grins. "Hold ya horses. There will be no rich sex or sex period unless it's with me and your joke of a father. Now get your bright ass in your room and hit the sheets." she demands.

I sigh then do what she said. I'm embarrassed as hell. I know better than to go against my momma's word though. It's like hell on earth when you on her bad side for being disobedient.

ANT

I laid in my bed bored for a couple of hours. I just walked around the house checking on everything. I walk into Jessica's room. She's asleep with Dream's baby monitor under her arm. I glance at Dream's crib then walk over to it. "Wassup pretty girl?" I whisper. Dream is wide awake kicking her legs. She smiles wide at me.

I take her out her crib. I'm surprised she didn't cry when Jessica put her in the crib. She never sleeps in it because she throws fits about it. I kiss her cheek then check her diaper. "I love you." I whisper to her, tickling her a little. Montana's daughter my ass. This my baby in my eyes. Even if the blood test say she his, I'm gonna treat and love her like my own. I bonded so much with this baby in this short period of time. I love her like my own  and I'd die for her.

I lay her back down then hand her her teddy bear. I walk over to the TV then put the My Baby Can Read DVD in for her to watch until she falls asleep. I walk over to the bed then get in. I wrap my arms around Jessica,cuddling behind her while she sleeps. She might smack the shit out of me tomorrow when she wakes up but I don't care. This my baby.

JAH

It's two in the morning and I'm in Walmart buying diapers for my son because he just ran out. A big black  man walks up to me. "What?" I ask, holding my son close to me. "You Jah?" he asks. I got my strap on me and I got a feeling I'm gone have to use it. The only thing is I got my baby with me and I don't want no violence around my lil boy.

"Why?" I ask. "I know you know Ant. How you feel about making some money?" he asks. "Make some money how?" I dryly ask, not interested. "Bring me his head." he says. "Fuck I look like? I don't have a death wish and you clearly don't either if you trying to get another man to do yo dirty work that you too scared to do. Why can't you go get his head yo damn self? Cause you too pussy and you know you'll die. That's why." I tell him straight up. I learned a long time ago that Reign's daddy and her family in general ain't on no pussy shit and I respect them niggas.

He raises his eyebrow then pulls a gun on me. "Walk." he demands. I open Jahvon's diaper bag then pull my gun on his ass. He grins at me. "I'd hate to kill you and the baby." he says. My eyes widen as I fire a shot, sending the bullet through this nigga's skull. I'll call the police my gotdamn self cause I'm getting caught regardless in Walmart. I don't give a fuck. I'll do a hundred years before I let a nigga hurt my son.

He bursts into tears. I pull my phone out then call Montana, ignoring the panicking people in the store who are calling 911. "What's good?" he asks. "Some nigga in Walmart stepped to me on some dumb shit then pulled a gun on me and my son. I pulled mine on him. He threatened to shoot me and Jahvon so I shot him in his head. The police gone be here soon so just get my lawyer for me." I say. "Aight. I'm on my way to the police station. Let me call my lawyer. Imma call Jessica to come get yo baby, aight?" he asks. "Aight." I say, hanging up as police swarm in.

I'm not worried about shit. I just hate I had to kill a nigga when I was trying to buy me some Vienna sausages but it is what it is. I'll just get my Vienna sausages when they let me go.

The whole thing was self defense. I know I'm about to have to fight this case either way it goes though. My gun is registered though. Montana got all that covered. He something like a big homie to me and I respect him for that. Ain't this some shit though. I should've stayed my ass at home.

It's almost  4am but I'm bored
