Today the whole fucking crew wanted to be at Xerxes and Riley's house like they didn't have one of their own. It didn't bother X any because it reminded him of home. All his cousins, sisters, their husbands were always at their house. He was sitting in one of the lawn chairs beside Riley as they watch Peyton attempt to ride a hoverboard.

"Ide, went ya ass fall Ima laugh my ass off, just letting you know," Riley said to Peyton as she flipped her falling on her ass, making them laugh.

"Fuck off both, you bitches."

Peyton was pissed like it was their fault she busted her ass on something that she didn't know how to fucking control. Genesis came running over, checking her over, making Xerxes and Riley smirk at the two shaking their heads. Riley continued to chuckle as she spoke.

"Come on, y'all, let's play." She said, holding out some deck of UNO cards. Making Xerxes sigh, he knew one of them was going to yell something about fucking drinking as Melody made eye contact with him.

"I Know." She mouthed, making X arch as brow, thinking about what did she know. He hasn't done shit.

"What do you know?" He asked her, making Riley look at him as Melody rubbed her stomach, smirking as Eli laughed, making Xerxes's eyes widen.

"Bet let's play drunk, UNO," Keandre said, breaking his focus away from his siblings to Riley's eyes widen.

"Could we play and not have to drink? Why you always want to drink ya alcoholic."

Xerxes laughed as Eli snapped his head to her, staring like she burned him or something, and the boy didn't even drink.

"Oh, fuck you. And why can't we drink? We always do."

"That the problem we always drinking. Maybe sometimes people don't want to fucking drink Keandre."

"Damn X, I was just asking a fucking question. You and Riley have been fucking moody lately." Keandre said, shaking his head.

"That's okay. I can't, so I'll just watch," Riley said, shrugging, making everyone except for Xerxes look at her.

"Why can't you drink?" Peyton asked, staring at her sister, confused as everyone else but Xerxes, Melody, and Elijah.

"Leave it alone, Pey," Heaven said, sitting down. "Last time your sister got drunk, she was sick for three days. That's why she can't drink. Isn't it Ri?"

"Yeah, that the reason."

"Oh, okay."

"You know what, let's just play a regular game. So, everyone can play." Arianna said, and they all nodded.

Xerxes was so over UNO as he got up from the table, leaving the living room going into the kitchen sitting. His headache was back, nagging him a little worse than before, and he was sure it had something to do with Riley being pregnant.

"Tired?"

"No, headache," He said, rubbing his temples as his sister place a glass of water and a bottle of Advil down in front of him.

"I know Riley's pregnant."

Xerxes froze slowly, looking over to Melody, rocking King in her arms with a small smile as she reached over, brushing his hair out his face.

"She gave it away that day when she came and got King. Then you sleeping all the fucking time. Ja–– his sperm donor did the same."

"Please don't tell any of them or Mom until we are ready."

"Wait, Dad knows?"

Xerxes nodded his head. Shit, their father was the first person he called before they found out. Most would have thought it would be his mother.

"So, I should tell you that Eli knows... Veah and Heav do too, but I didn't tell them. You know they were around a lot of pregnant women grow up, so any change in Riley they noticed it, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't tell."

He nodded again, finally opening up the pill bottle taking two pills, and downing some water as Caleb started yelling.

"FUCK THIS GAME!" Caleb said, throwing his cards making everyone laugh. Melody and Xerxes sighed, walking back into the living.

"Why you so mad?" Riley asked, laughing at him making him madder. Caleb looked like he was about to flip the table over a UNO game.

"Cause y'all ganged up on me. How everyone put out a damn draw two leaving me to pick up almost twenty fucking cards." He said they laughed as they continued to play.

"UNO," Riley screamed, doing a little dance as everyone else started to talk their shit.

"Shut the fuck up before I shoot all you bitches and pic the color. Shit, I'm tired and want to go the fuck to bed." Riley said, sighing. Xerxes shook his head, looking at his sister, who was laughing.

"Blue," Eli said, making Riley glared at him as he moved his chair over from her while looking over to X.

"Yo, X, get your wife. I think she's trying to kill people over a damn UNO game."

"You Petty as fuck. Bitch" Riley said, rolling her eyes, picking up a card. Eventually, Elijah won the game, making Riley kicked everyone out of the house. After that, they took a shower and went to bed.
