a few days later

it's been a few days since kendric and adrian arrived and me and bronny decided to take  cannon and adrian shopping with us. we walked into PINK.

"oouu! these are cute!" i said picking up a matching bra and panty set, showing bronny. "no." he said and picked up some sweats and a hoodie that was 2 times my size. "now this, you would look amazing in." i side-eyed him before responding. "okay dad." i said and rolled my eyes. i put the set in my bag anyways because i like it.

"clay" i heard adrian say. i turned around to see him holding a thong. i snatched it out his hand while bronny laughed and recorded. "yeaa. that's enough of PINK, take them outside while i pay." bronny posted the video to his close friends to keep too much of our relationship off the internet and toon the boys outside. i payed and walked out to see them gone.

toy store😎

i sighed knowing bronny was about to spend at least a band on them both. but before i walked in, i peaked through the window and saw him playing with them and helping them get toys they couldn't reach as i smiled. an older lady approached me.

"that your family?" she asked, placing a hand in my shoulder. "something like that" i laughed and responded. "they don't stay that little forever. cherish these moments." and with that, she walked off. she was right, they don't stay little forever. adrian has grown up since i've been gone and cannon has grown up since i've been here. they're both able to say certain words and they're running around now.

i finally walked into the store and approached the trio. "clay! look what bwonny is detting me!" cannon said smiling and holding up a toy truck. "me too!" adrian said, but holding up a car. i smiled and rubbed their heads. they ran back off and i turned to bronny. "you don't have to y'know?" i said as he didn't take his focus off the boys. "i know. but i should." i rested my head in his shoulder as we continued watching the boys find things that peaked their interests.

we walked around the mall for a while longer eventually deciding to leave and go get ice cream. we pulled up to the place near the mall and decided to go through the drive-thru since i was tired. "what flavor do y'all want?" bronny asked as we rolled up to the speaker. "oreo!" cannon said excitedly. "umm. tan i get tocolate?" adrian asked while i continued to observe the menu. "what about you, bear?" bronny asked after he gave their orders. "i want snickers" i said glancing down at the notification i got on my phone.

"who's that?" he asked, noticing the confused look on my face. "kendric" i said adjusting myself calling his phone."straight to voicemail..." i said getting nervous. "well what'd the text say?" bronny asked noticing my change in behavior. "he said he's sorry and he needs me to watch Adrian for a while." bronny looked as confused as me "lemme call my dad." bronny got the ice cream, passing everyone theirs as i dialed my dad, putting the phone on speaker.

phone call

steph: clay, im at practice!
clay: ik, i'm sorry. but, kendric just texted me apologizing and saying he needs me to watch adrian for a while. what's going on?
steph: idk. i haven't heard from him, where are you?
clay: me, bronny, and the boys just got ice cream, we're on the way home.
steph: did you call kendric?
clay: yea. several times. it went straight to voicemail.
steph: i'll figure it out. don't stress it. love you.
clay: okay. love you too, pops.

end of call

"what we gone do?" bronny asked as he drove. "do what they said. watch adrian and don't stress. whatever it was had to be important. kendric would never up and leave adrian. with ANYONE!" i responded. eating my ice cream and looking out the window. the more i thought about it, the less it made sense...

2 months later

"come stay with mee!" bronny whined, not wanting to leave me. "i can't, you know i have to watch adrian." i said laughing. "okay? so pack his stuff and bring him too!" bronny said pointing at the diaper bag. "he has no where to sleep." i said giving logical reasons. "mmcht. you just don't love me no more." he let go of my waist and dramatically plopped down on the couch.

"i doo!" i laughed and continued my sentence. "but you know i have to wait for kendric to com back. "clay. it's been 2 months." bronny said beginning to question if kendric was ever coming back. "i know...." i responded.

adrians 1st birthday just passed and kendric missed it. no call, no text, no pop up...nothing. it all wasn't adding up. why would he just leave adrian here? he's always been extremely protective over him...

my thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. i got up to open it.

"clay curry?" an officer asked. "yes sir?" i responded asking confused. "i'm looking for your cousin, kendric thompson." when the officer said that, i turned and looked at bronny. "he's not here. can i ask what's going on?" i asked as bronny grabbed the boys and put them in a play pin. 

"may we come in?" i stepped back and held the door open, allowing the officers to enter. they nodded their heads at bronny before looking around the perimeter and taking a seat on the couch. "these your kids?" one asked, nodding towards adrian and cannon. "my brother and cousin." i responded. "kendrics son?" the other asked. "yes sir." i responded.

"well let's cut to the chase. kendric is wanted for grand theft and murder." the officer stated. i immediately dropped my jaw in disbelief. "no. there must be a misunderstanding, kendric would never." i said, defending him.

"clay. i understand your mom died in a car accident?" an officer asked. "yes sir, when i was younger..." i said growing confused on how they knew so much about me. "do you know much about her?" they asked. "no." i responded simply.

"your mother was a detective who also did spy work. she liked to go out every now and then, hence how she met your dad." they started telling a story. "what does this have to do with kendric?" i asked growing impatient.

"ahh. you didn't let me finish. she was one of the best detectives we had. could figure out anything!" the officer paused and the other continued the story. "she figured out kendrics little scheme. she knew about the scamming, robbing, and everything else. after all the crimes, he'd be charged with life." the officers said, allowing a pause for me to ask questions. "life? for theft? that doesn't make sense." i said as bronny tried to keep up. "no. for attempted murder, reason to believe being involved in murder, 2nd degree murder, and manslaughter." the officer responded.

i wanted to pass out.

"no. wrong kendric!" i couldn't believe it...i wouldn't believe it. "clay, your cousin was messing with some bad people. he was around the wrong people at the wrong time. he may not have pulled the trigger, but he had something to do with it."
