New Beginnings (Sequel of August Alsina is my step father)

28

I called Natasha and decided I should spend time with her.

Phone Conversation -

"Hello?" She said surprised.

"Wassup girl!"

"Oh hey Kerri! Nothing much. Finally got that cast off my damn leg."

I giggled.

"You tryna chill today?"

"Sure thing, who gone watch the girls?"

I thought about it.

"Call George, he'd be glad to spend time with em."

"Oh shit, he has been asking for them."

"Hit me back when you ready."

"Aight girl."

- end of call.

Lately me and Natasha has been getting along. She moved out the guest house the other day and we talked everything out cause ya girl was tired of not having her sister around.

I got up and got dressed. I know August would kill me for what I was wearing so I put a blazer on and covered majority of my skin. The door bell rang and I went downstairs to answer the door. "Wassup bitch!" I said hugging her. "Hey girl!"

"What you been up to?" I asked walking up the stairs with her following. "Nothing much, glad you called me cause I was tryna find something to do." I smiled. "I knew you was."

"What you trying to do today?" I said combing my hair. "Shoot, I really wanna go shopping, cause I haven't bought anything in almost a half a year." I looked out the bathroom and shook my head.

"Aight, let's go." I said slipping on my flip flops and grabbing my purse. I headed downstairs and grabbed my keys. I unlocked the Range doors and hopped in. "Uh oh! August got you this?!" I stuck my tongue out and danced in my seat. "Juuu knoooow." She laughed. "Thats my bitchhhhh." I laughed an revived the engine.

While we was heading to the mall Tasha spoke. "Girl, so you know Q has been blowing up my phone right?" I looked at her surprised. "About what?!" She sighed. "Been threatening me n shit like I give a fuck."

"Girl if you don't go to the damn police, I know something." Natasha sighed once again. "That nigga ain't gon' do nothing. He know he on probation." I looked at her crazy. "You must not know how crazy that nigga is." I said laughing a little bit.

"True shit, he crazy as hell. But you should know I ain't afraid of him." I took a deep breath "Of course I know that, but you gotta take in consideration that the girls is in danger." She thought about it.

"Ugh, why the fuck did I date this nigga." I laughed. "Cause you thought you was in love." Tasha rolled her eyes. "Shittttt, fuck that. That nigga ain't never treated me right."

We pulled up to the mall and headed inside. "What you wanna do first?" I asked her putting my keys in my purse. "Shoot I need to go inside children's place to get Karia and Haley clothes." I smiled. "I don't mind helping."

We walked inside and went separate ways finding clothes. "This is so cute." I said to myself picking up a dress. I carried it and looked around. I seen some cute sandals for Karia. I grabbed them and thought about buying them for her, and the dress even matches it.

I walked around and found Natasha. "Tasha, should I get this for Karia?" I asked showing her the dress and sandals. "Oh my god, that is too cute." She said smiling. "I know, I gotta find something for Haley." Natasha smiled. "Don't worry about it. I got her stuff right here already. Ima just find Karia a few more outfits since I got Haley a lot." I smiled. "Okay."

After purchasing everything, we headed outside. "Should we go snatch something to eat?" Tasha said looking at me. "Sure thing." We walked to the outlet part of the mall and went inside Cheesecake Factory.

We were seated before anyone else because we paid extra for fast seating. Natasha sat the bags down beside her and smiled. "So how are you and August? I know he went out for tour today." I sighed. "Girl, we are so perfect right now. All we do is crack jokes on each other. I miss his ugly ass."

Natasha smiled. "I'm tryna get like you!" I cheesed. "I actually have something to tell you that I haven't told anyone." Natasha frowned. "Is it bad?" I shook my head. "No ma'am." She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me. "What is it then?"

I took a deep breath and stood up. "I'm pregnant." Natasha nearly screamed. "Oh my god Kerri!!! I didn't even notice! I'm so happy for you!" I felt happy tears falling my face. "I've been wanting to tell people but I wanted I keep it a secret." Natasha got up and hugged me. She pulled from the hug and was teary eyed. "Oh my god I'm still in shock! I'm going to be a Auntie." I smiled.

"Don't tell anyone! Ok?" I said wiping my face. "I won't, but how far along are you?" She asked still in shock but curious. "I went to the doctor the other day. I'm one month." A few tears fell from her face. "Aww Tasha.. Why are you crying?"

She wiped her face. "Cause I'm so proud of you! You have grown up so much from the first time we met. When we met, you was depressed about your miscarriage. You never wanted to have anymore kids because you were scared of losing them, but now look at you. All glowing, pregnant and gorgeous!"

I felt my cheeks burn from smiling. I wiped her face and grinned. "Thank you so much girl!" She smiled. "Are you going to tell August?" I felt butterflies in my stomach. "Of course I'm going to. But I just don't know how." She smiled creepy at me. "What?" I asked. "I have a plan." She said grabbing my hand.

"Ok, spit it." She nodded. "You wait until he get home and don't tell him. You guys go out for dinner and while you're gone I will decorate your garage. So when you pull up, the lights of your car will show him the surprise." I thought about how cute that was. "Thats hella cute, and he's going to be so excited." I said practically screaming because of the excitement.
