(JACOB'S P.O.V)

I made the drop now I'm off to the trap to give Nicky his money. I pulled in the alley, parked the car, and got out. I went up to the big black door and knocked.

"Name?" A deep rough voice said.

I let out a loud sigh and said "Baby P." I hated that stupid nickname. My old gang gave it to me and that was what I was to the world no matter how much I tried to change it. I walked passed people smoking, drinking, and walked right up to Nicky. "Here." I handed him the full 10k.

"You supposed to take half of 'dis." He said.

"Naw man I'm good." I started walking towards the door when he called me again. "What?"

"I respect 'dat you stepping up to raise yo child. Salute to you nigga and if you ever need some money you know where I be." I gave him a bro hug and made my way back to my car. It's about time someone gave me some respect. Now to go see the main reason why I didn't take that money.

(AALIYAH'S P.O.V)

Man I have a bomb headache. I haven't talked to Jacob in a couple of days, maybe he'll be at school. I put on a gray and white striped sweater with some white skinny jeans and black Ugg boots. After a few minutes I walked to my bus stop and got on the bus. Since we were the first pick up no one was there. After awhile we came to his stop. I got my hopes up but then they were let down because I remembered he has a car now. When we arrived at the school I didn't see his car parked in the student parking either. Where could he be.

I went to my locker and got my books. When I closed my locker I saw Jacob.

"Well, what a perfect boyfriend you are." I said sarcastically.

"Yes, yes I am. I'm sorry I didn't pick you up. But, I was getting something for you and I could only pick it up this morning so I had to come straight to school or I was gonna be late."

"Mhm, what is it?" I asked

"You'll see after school." He smirked. I laughed and made my way to Chemistry. The rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about everything. My future with this child. Will Jacob still be there for me like he is now. Everything crossed my mind. As I made my way into the last class of the day, we had a substitute teacher. The whole class chatted while we waited. Then the same man I saw at Dave & Busters came in. Can you say weird.

"Hello class I'm Phillip Moore. I could care less what you call me. Listen, I'm really not a sub but I am a teacher. I'm a professor at UCLA and I decided to help out. This is the task they gave me so bare with me." Ray turned around and looked at me then turned back around and raised his hand.

"Yes?"

"Aye, you look like her." He pointed at me.

"Ray! Your stupid!" I yelled at him playfully.

"Mhm mister 'Ray'. Ms lady can you come up here?" He asked me. I got up and walked to the front of the class.

"Oh god! Look they have the same eyes and the same skin color AND the same kind of hair!" Ray yelled. "Ohh, maybe that's his long lost daughter!" Roc yelled.

"Oh shut up!" I yelled back at him.

"Um excuse me, is your mother's name Allison?" He asked me. I swallowed hard.

"Yes..." I said.

"Man this like Steve Wilkos! Man finds his long lost daughter!" Ray yelled.

"Ray, I do know where you live!" I yelled.

"Hush boy, class get back to work." Mr.Moore said. For the rest of the hour I couldn't help but think. Is he my father. I never knew my real dad because my mom never told me about him. Finally the bell rang and I ran to my locker. Once I closed it Jacob was standing there.

"Ready baby?" He asked.

"Yeah." He carried my book bag for me and put it in the backseat of the car. "So where is this 'surprise' at?" I asked.

"At my house." He answered.

"I love surprises." I said and we arrived at his house. He unlocked the front door and went in. "Stay right here." He left and came back with a ball of fur in his hands.

"Oh emm gee! Jacob! A puppy!?" I took the ball of fur from his hands. It started licking my hand. "Thank you!" I kissed him on his cheek.

"What should we name him?" He asked.

"Mhm, he has black and white fur so..Oreo." I said. "Aww hi little Oreo." Then I put him down and he fell asleep.

"Hey can you sleep here tonight?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah, I need some clothes so can you walk me home?"

"Yeah, let's go." He said and we went out of the door. After a few minutes of walking my house was in view. Someone's car was in the driveway parked behind my grandmothers car. I wonder who could it be. I unlocked he door and called out for her.

"I'm I'm the dining room." I walked past the kitchen and saw Mr.Moore.

"Mr.Moore what are you doing here?" His nose was red and looked like he had been crying. He smiled and ran to hug me. When he pulled away my grandmother told me.

"Aaliyah, this is your father. He is your moms ex husband." I stood there lost in shock. I guess Ray was right.

"We'll leave you two to talk." My grandmother said and walked out with Jacob.

"Wow, you remind me of your mother. Your grandmother told me what happened. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. But now that I know I have a daughter and a grandchild on the way I want to help. Be apart of you life. Now all I'm asking is that you let me in. I never knew I had a daughter. It's so ov-" I cut him off and hugged him to make him shut up. "Well this is going to take a lot to get used to." I said wiping away my tears.

"No kidding. But I have to cut this short. I have to go back to work. If its okay with you I would like to take you somewhere Saturday. You just pick the place and call. I want to be a father for once." He hugged me again and left. Jacob and my grandmother came back down. I told Jacob to go home and I'll come over after I finished talking with my grandma.

She told me everything. About how my mom had mental issues and thought he was cheating on her when they were married. She told him she was pregnant and he was really excited but she thought he cheated and told him she aborted me. I asked her why would she claim to abort me and not like divorce or something. She told me he was very excited about being a father and he loves kids. But he was so happy about the child my mom was jealous. Explains why she kicked me out.

I packed a bag and walked back to Jacobs house. He doesn't really know anything about why I live with my grandmother so I told him everything. Seems like my life just got a little better.
