Riley was officially six months pregnant, and today they were going down to the clinic for her to get a checkup. Her ass was being hardheaded, still running around jumping on people's backs like she wasn't even pregnant, and her ankles were starting to swell. The morning sickness she was still having wasn't making it any better, and today she was in for a bigger surprise.

Xerxes didn't know how to tell her about the glucose test she was about to get. He was there when Melody got her, and the girl threw the shit up all over her twin twice before getting it down. Knowing Riley, she is going to try not to drink the shit if it smelled funny. That is why X called Paris over to go to the visit with them.

So, while Riley was in the shower, Xerxes went and let Leon and Paris in. "Xerxes, why the fuck did you call me begging me to come here today? What you and Riley had a fight last night that you think I'm about to help you suck up to? If so, you fucking wrong, dead fucking wrong. I don't know who y'all think I am, but it's not fucking happening. Whew, chile, I swear you kids going to make me beat your ass," Paris said, making Leon and Xerxes look at each other, holding back a laugh.

"Ma Paris, why you always gotta think me and Ri had a fight? That's not the case. She got to drink that glucose shit today, and you know how Riley is," Xerxes said, making Paris stare at him then Leo, who she was just now noticing.

"Oh, whether she wants to or not, she has the drink the shit. Leon ain't you the damn doctor? You tell her what to do, not the other way around. How the hell did either of you get your degrees if you scare of the patient?"

"Correction, I'm not scared of the patient. I'm scared of my wife in the state she is in now. You don't have to deal with her, Ma. The girl when ham earlier this week on Mariah because she ate some of her ice cream. Then me a few hours later because I looked at her for food wrong, and I know you saw her arguing with Jj at his wedding. She was mad because she finished eating all her food and wanted his. The fool had the nerve to tell her no," He said, making him think back on Riley beating Jj with her shoe. Paris and Leo just laughed.

Paris nodded her head walking to the door that led to the clinic with Leon as X went to check in on Riley. She was just getting out of the shower sitting on the bed, and putting lotion on as he walked up. Quietly he sat on the bed beside her, pulling her legs over into his lap, taking the lotion bottle.

"I checked to see where Gen may have when–– Actually, I got Vince to track her phone. She's here with her dad... a-and I think Leah may like your sister forreal."

"My Dad said Uncle Gunz hadn't seen her. What you mean Leah likes my sister? I thought she was straight," Riley said, making Xerxes stop what he was doing looking at her. "I thought so too, but I guess we were both wrong. Leah is strange and hard to fucking read. I don't like the fact she went after Pey. One because she is older two Peyton is supposed to be with Gen. Then she admitted to kissing her," Xerxes said, making her nod.

X sighed as he rubbed Riley's legs with the lotion thinking of the best way to tell her about Ebony. Although he didn't don't anything wrong, he needed to tell her before one of his crazy-ass siblings did. They loved to get shit started, especially Lucas with his fucking dumb ass.

"He lied for her––– When my phone was off the other day, I have a feeling Madison little friend turn it off," He said, looking at her. Xerxes left his phone sitting on the table in the gym, and the girls were the only ones by the table. There was no way any of them turned it off.

"What, friend?"

"A girl name Ebony. Her dad works for my Dad, and for some reason, he allowed them to bring her on our mission. After I got off the phone with you, she tried talking to me. As I tried to walk away, the stupid bitch grabbed my arm, and you know how that ended. Anyhow she tried lying to Maddy and Aria, telling them I flipped out on her when she knew she had other intentions," Xerxes said as Riley smiled, leaning over kissing his lips.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being honest–– Mariah's in love with Elijah," She said, making Xerxes's head whip to her. His eyes when wide, and he had to blink a couple of times. Shit, he had just talked to Elijah about this shit, and he swore they were just friends with benefits.

"And she told you this?"

"Yeah, the night before we after for Sweden. Adriel, I have a bad feeling about their relationship. Mariah's crazy. She's someone that would try to pull some shit like get pregnant to make him be with her. I tried giving her the same advice that your dad gave me, but I don't think she's going to listen," She said, making him sigh. The girl just didn't know Elijah. He was crazy, the type of crazy that would beat the fuck out of a bitch then laugh. Mariah was playing with fire with Eli.

"Talk to Riah before she makes Eli do something stupid. I know our Dad taught us to keep our hands to ourselves, but you know Elijah and Melody are both fuck a bitch up and ask questions later. Both set of twins are fucking crazy." Riley laughed as she stood up, going to the closet. About ten minutes later, she came back out fully dressed, standing in the middle of the floor waiting for him.

They made their way down to the clinic where Paris was fussing at Leon about something when they walked in. The man's eyes shot up to them, pleading to save him make Xerxes laugh. "Can't help you, bro. What you do?"

"Ma, what you doing here? I'm not doing a sonogram today. Am I Leo?"

"No, their bitch asses are scare of your little self. Here drink this. I found out the cherry flavor is the best one to get down," Paris said, smirking back and forward between X and Leo, making them mentally smack themselves. Paris didn't have to out them like that.

"What is this?"

"Glucose. You need to drink this so I can test your sugar levels. To make sure you are not at risk of having gestational diabetes and to see where your sugar levels are after a high intake of sugar–– Oh, it's best to chug it," Leon said as Riley stared at them then at the bottle that her mom handed her.

She slowly opened the bottle, then putting it to her lips sip then smiling as she drank it all. "That wasn't all that bad. Hell, I liked it," She said, making Paris shake her head. "Chile, my granddaughter about to come out that bitch fucking twelve pounds and some ounces. I know your fucking sugar is high. Xerxes, I thought you had her on a diet? Only healthy foods," Paris said, making him look at Riley.

"I do," He said as Paris arched an eyebrow. "So why was there a Wendy's bag in the trash upstairs?"

"MA!" Riley yelled, making Paris chuckle as she walked off. Xerxes stared at Riley. He knew Paris was lying about the Wendy's bag, but Riley's reaction told him she wasn't lying about her eating there.

"Come on. You have to wait an hour before he can check your sugar levels. Let's go watch tv I found a new anime you may like," Xerxes said as Riley rolled her eyes. He was like his mother, always looking at anime and crazy scary films. Ri hated it, but she watched it still.

"You mad at me, aren't you?" She asked as they stepped into the elevator.

"No. I knew you were going to take advantage of me being gone and get take-out," He said smile as she placed his hand on her belly while Xylia kicked like crazy. After waiting for an hour, Leon checked Riley's sugar which was a little high, making him tell her to cut back on the sweets until the other test came back. That ended with her crazy-ass cursing him out and going straight upstairs, sitting in the living eating ice cream like Leo didn't say shit.
