•Chapter 12

≈Miami, FL...

(7:51 p.m

Cora was shocked, speechless and angry. What had just happened exactly ? Why did he snap at her like that ? Why was he so pissed off ? What did her children do for him to say those things ? She had a lot of questions running in her mind, but she wasn't the only one. The kids were replaying Kalvin's word in their heads non-stop. Did they hear well ? Was he talking about a baby ? Which baby ? 

"Mu-"

Cora raised her hand to motion her daughter to be quiet. As she was about to close the door, her own mother was walking through, "Who was that fine young man ? He looked like Kalvin Ryans ? Was it him ? " She questioned curiously. 

Cora nodded her head, "Yes, it was him." She answered, then turned towards the twins, "What happened with Kalvin ? " She asked angrily. 

"What's going on here ? " Sasha was confused. 

"I don't know, but they're about to tell us. What happened ?! " She asked a second time raising her voice. 

The twins looked at each other, "Well...we...did....something...Uh...it wasn't really wrong if we see it in another perspective. Actually we helped someone." Acacia said smiling innocently. But innocent, that's not what she was at this moment.

"Almar, tell me now ! " Cora knew him at least was going to tell her everything.

He sighed regretting to have let his sister do that, "She...well...we...uh...we...uh...gave his car to a homeless man." He said slowly.

Cora's eyes opened widely, "WHAT ?!! ARE YOU TWO CRAZY ?! YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND ! WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR ?! " 

"W-" Acacia started but got cut off immediately.

"No, matter fact I don't want to know. Let me get my belt." They were about to cry. 

Before Cora could even move, her mother stopped her, "No, you sit down in the kitchen, I'm coming and you two go to your room and put all your belongings in boxes." She said calmy. They ran as fast as possible. 

"What the fuck ?! " 

"Your language ! Now, in the kitchen ! " Cora groaned, but listened to her mother.

"Mom, I can't believe it ! They are my kids ! Why did you do that for ? You know they deserve a good whooping. Now, I know why Kalvin called them monsters and was so mad ! They gave his car to someone. How many times did I tell them not to talk to strangers ?! And I'm sure it was an expensive car ! What am I going to do now ? " God was punishing her, she was sure about this. 

Sasha poured her daughter a glass of water, "Drink that and calm down." Once again Cora did as her mother told her, "Cora, my baby..." She sighed, "...This is all your fault. I told you t-"

She couldn't believe what she was hearing, "What ?! How is it my fault ? " She asked offended.

Sasha snorted with laughter, "Oh please ! You did it all wrong ! I saw him arriving with the kids, so I concluded that you let these three alone while they don't even know each other. You know how your kids are. They don't trust people that easily and you let them alone with a stranger. Do they know about the baby ? "

Cora lowered her head and started playing with her fingers. Her mother was maybe right. She would've done it the other way, none of this would've happened. The twins didn't know about Kalvin and there he was suddenly in their lives and they reacted bad to it. But still, it wasn't a reason to give his car away like that. Everybody has its wrongs in this situation. Everybody, except Kalvin. He was the victim. He wanted to help and he lost his car, "What should I do now ? I mean about Kalvin." She asked completely lost. 

Sasha smiled a bit, "Apologize to him. Hoping he will accept it. And you need to talk with the twins."

"And to whoop them too ! " 

Her mother chuckled, "No...it's too easy. I have a better idea."

(8:51 p.m)

"Mr.Ryans ! Thanks for joining us at the end of the practice. Really, we appreciate it. What were you doing for being so late ? I really want to know." 

Kalvin sighed trying to contain his anger. He was still pissed that someone took his car. Oh, how he disliked these kids. Why did they do that to him ? What he did for them to do that ? He couldn't understand. He didn't know what he did wrong for them to treat him like that. He tried to nice. He wanted to get along with them, but no they had to give his car to a stranger, "Even if I tell you the truth, you won't believe me."

"Well, you better try to tell me something, because you're on the bench now superstar." Coach Richarson said looking at him with the entire team behind him. 

Kalvin rolled his eyes, "I'm gonna be a father. And the female already has two children. She got nobody to pick them from school today, so she asked me if I could do her a favor and me like an idiot I said yes. Why an idiot, because if I knew what these demons were going to do, I would've said no. But I said yes ! To do short, they gave my fucking car to a stranger to...I don't know what they did that, but they fucking did and they weren't even feeling guilty. And I had to walk with them for hours trying not to kill the both at the same time ! That's what happened and that's why I'm fucking late ! " He explained with a tone of voice that was calm, but the anger was still boiling inside him. He wanted this day to be a simple nightmare.

The coach and his teammates smiled holding their laughter, "First off, congrats and...they really did that ? " He asked completely amazed. He never heard that type of story before. 

"Which one ? " Terry asked then with a big grin on his face. 

Kalvin narrowed his eyes at him, "The McLaren." He mumbled, but everybody heard him and suddenly they all burst out of laughing. None of them was expecting to hear this.

Kalvin didn't see what was funny in all this though, "Stop that ! This is not funny, at all ! This was one of the worst day of my life ! " He said mad and whining. Why was this happening to him ? 

"Okay, I changed my mind. You can play finally." The coach announced him still laughing and shaking his head. He felt some kind of pity for Kalvin. He knew how his players loved theirs cars. 

Terry walked towards his best friend, "Kal, man, the fuck you got one of them pregnant when she already has kids ? Are you crazy ? " It was one of theirs rules. Never sleep with a single mother, except if she's Beyoncé. They wrote these rules with their best friend Nelson when they were teenagers. Blue Ivy Carter wasn't born yet, but they knew B could get pregnant at any time and they were in love with her, so that's why they included this in the rule number one. 

Kalvin wiped his face in frustration, "I didn't know. Gosh ! I learned it today." The day seemed way more longer. Like years !

Terry patted his shoulder sympathetically, "Damn ! Are you going to be okay ? " 

Kalvin sighed loudly, "I don't know. I just...Urg ! Pinch me really hard, so I can finally wake up please." 

His friend shrugged, but did as he said. Nothing changed, "Sorry, bro. But you know I'm here whatever you need me. I won't let you go through this alone. You were by my side through all my hard times, so I'll do the same for you. We're family." He said and they dapped each other, then ended with a brotherly hug.

"Thank, man."

"Congrats, Kal ! " Some of his others teammates came towards them to congratulate him. 

"Are you ready to be a dad though ? " Vince asked with his eyebrow raised. Kalvin and Vince didn't like each other in the beginning, but during a wild night when they were celebrating one of their first wins with the new team, they found that they had a lot in common and became friends. It was like that between practically everybody in the team, but quickly the Heats became a huge family.

Vince was one year younger than Kalvin and already had three kids. Two girls twins who were five and a little boy who was two years old. Every time one of his friends joins the fatherhood, he's here to give advice and assure that everything will be alright. He knew exactly what were the feeling and anxiety of becoming a father. 

Kalvin shook his head, "No. Not really..." 

"Hey, don't worry, we saw you with kids before, your child will be in good hands." Henry reassuring him with a nod. 

Kalvin was appreciating his team's support.

{ Two Days Later | (2 p.m) }

Cora played with her phone for a couple of minutes, then unlocked the screen. She was scared. She was hoping that he was going to answer and was not mad anymore. She gave him two days, so he could calm down. It seemed enough time to her, but actually she wasn't too sure about this. She searched his number in her contacts and dialed it, then put the phone to her ear biting on her lips nervously. 

"It's better be about my child." He responded dryly.

She sighed, "I am really sorry. I didn't know they were about to do this...and if I could pay you back, I would, bu-"

"I don't care about your money, Cora. I suppose they're still alive, huh ? " 

Cora knew her children were wrong for giving his car like that, but he wasn't going to talk about them this way for too long, "Yes, they're still alive, but you won't say the same about you if y-"

"Wow ! You're threatening me now ? Why are you angry for ? Nobody gave your customized McLaren to someone ! If at least they had sold it, but no, they gave it for free ! I worked hard for this."

"Wow, playing with a ball, so hard." She said sarcastically. 

"You know what, I'm about to hang up and when you'll want to apologize sincerely, call me back. Bye."

No, that's not what she wanted. The conversation wasn't supposed to go this way,"Wait ! I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. Really sorry. I should've not said that. I am sorry. Please, forgive me and my kids. Listen, they're gonna pay you back."

He chuckled, "How exactly ? They had $93,000 for me ? " 

"Get the fuck out ! " She mumbled to herself. She almost got a heart attack, "You really spent all that money...for a car ? " She asked curiously.

He chuckled again, "It's more actually, but that amount of money will be good. So, when are they going to pay me back ? " He asked with amusement and sarcasm in his voice. He preferred to laugh than crying about the all situation.

"They...Uh...I thought...Uh...they can work for you. They'll clean your condo, wash the dishes and I learned them how to cook. They'll be your...Uh...maids." How did I get to that point ? She smacked her forehead. She should've not listened to her mother and just whooped them.

"Hmm..."He hummed for a couple of minutes, "Okay. Bring them today." 

"They are at school." 

"Well, after school then. You know the address."
