JOSIAH~
I tried dialing London's number again to apologize but it went straight to voicemail. I didn't mean to ruin her get together but I couldn't let dude talk shit to Bri and I will never let anyone disrespect her as long as I'm alive.

We went back to our hotel while everybody was at the hospital. London told me to come here and calm down but I'm more than calm now.

Bri came into the living room of the suite and sat next to me. She didn't say anything she just stared at me.

"What?"

"I just wanna know who you are because you obviously aren't the person I knew... you know I've seen my mom go through so many relationships because of men not being honest with her. She was a very loyal woman but I don't wanna turn out like her. I wanna be with the same person for the rest of my life Josiah and I just feel like you need to be honest with me. What's really going on?"

"Nothing Bri how many times you about to ask this same question"

"Lies but okay" she went into the room to check on the kids.

I got a text from a unknown number.

708-226-6749: I miss you 😘

I blocked the number because I knew it was rose.

I grabbed my phone and went on to the balcony calling one of my workers.
"Yo Phil I need you to do a background search for me.. report everything you see on Rose Olivia Brown."

"Rose that works here ?" He said confused.

"Yeah"

"Okay give me an hour i'll get back to you"

"Bet"

I got a text from London

BigSister: Come to the hospital NOW.

2 Days Later

RYAN~

I never understood why God put me through some of these situations. I think with all of the shit I've done in the past it was finally catching up with me. It was catching up to my family. KARMA! That's what it felt like. I tried to grab Malayah's hand but she pulled away. She didn't want to talk or touch anyone. She had a miscarriage the doctor told us it is a very low percentage of people who have miscarriages after having a successful baby the first time. I was hurt I really was but I had to be strong for Malayah.

She sat at the edge of the hospital bag with her clothes on just staring at the wall. London came earlier and helped her get ready.

Once she was discharged from the hospital I decided to take her home. On the way there she finally spoke up "Take me to the airport"

"What?"

She looked at me with seriousness written over he face "Take me to the airport. Im going to Dallas I need to see my mother's grave Ryan"

"What Mala.."

"Ryan please! Just take me"

I didn't want to argue with her because her doctor did say she needed to be home resting before trying to return to work but I knew why she wanted to go to see her mother's grave.

I did a U-turn in the middle of the street and pulled out my phone dialing Phor's number.

"Wassup bro, every straight?"

"Yeah we good, I need a favor"

"whats good?"

"Im about to head out with Malayah for a few days. You and London mind keeping the kids for a few more days I'll pay yall you know it's nothing"

"Pay us? we family no money needed in this shit. Yall go get things straight and we will be here"

"iight bet"

Malayah looked over at me "You don't have to go Ryan, I can handle it"

"I'm not letting you do anything without me, I told you that before"

she sighed "I just wanna go and vent to her I need to know what went wrong? Why did this happen to us? How will we explain to the kids that there isn't a baby coming anymore... like this is too much"

"You don't have to explain anything. Life happens too quick, I feel like it was nothing we can do Malayah we didn't know this was going to happen"

"I know but I.."

"Stop saying I, it's not your fault. You think you the only one that was going through some shit in that room?"

She put her head in the palms of her hands and cried. "Im so sorry, I forgot about your mom being in the hospital too, it's so selfish of me to just draw you out at a time like this"

"It's cool I know god has her. God got our baby as well"

She nodded "You're right.. we've been through so much, if half of the shit we've been through wasn't illegal I would've wrote a book about us"

BRI~

It felt good to finally be home. I was now staring at the ceiling in the dark. I shook Josiah's body softly and he didn't budge but I could still hear him snoring. Good

I slipped out of bed and went to the guest room. I slipped on my black leggings, hoodie and gym shoes. Once i was done getting ready I turned the baby monitor on in Isla's room and placed the other one on the night stand near Josiah then closed the door. It seems like when you are trying to do something quietly everything in the house wants to make the most noise.

I successfully got out the house without waking anyone up and jogged up to Tae's car.

"Hey love, you ready?"

"Yes I've been ready to get this bitch for a while now"

"Good let's go"
