Jayda
"Nigga how was I supposed to know?!"

Jordan and August were having a yelling fit in the living room. After running into Nikki we went straight to Jordan. I wanted my brother for comfort and Aug wanted to question him.

"I was in jail. You know I wasn't talking to da bitch."

"She was with that nigga still."

"What if I got a whole kid outchea ? You know I can't handle dealing with her."

"Give up your parental rights or something nigga. You know Nikki got a rain cloud around her. She bad news."

"No. We gone get a test." He sighed
"You okay?" He nodded towards me

I didn't know August 5 years ago so I wasn't upset at all. I was a little irritated at the timing though. August had been out of jail for months, now that things are going so well for us this happens.

"Yeah." I nodded and turned back to the tv

"Be there for the test."

"I can't. Anything could happen and I'll be back up unda' the jail. Can you go and watch her?"

How you doing the test if you not around her?"

"Mail. Swab ma mouth and send dat ho in the mail."

Jordan nodded in understanding.
"It's not yours man. Something ain't sitting right. There was no talk of her having a kid in the hood. Her name just started coming around a few weeks ago."
Jordan took a deep breath
"Take the test but don't communicate with her at all. Have her mail the results to you. Something is off. And keep her away from Jayda."

"You gone look into it?"

"I'm gone find that nigga."

Aug came over to the couch and placed my feet in his lap. He was stressed, I curled up next to him and held his hand.

"It's always sumn."

"I got you through this."

"You sure you good?"

"I'm good. Are you okay?"

"A nigga just wanna live peacefully. Shit is a struggle though."

"One step at a time Auggie."

"I don't want you worrying about this. Focus on you and the baby. Okay?"

"You're my baby too. We gone get through this and live happily ever after, okay?"

"What if I gotta son?"

"Addition to the family."

Ace
Jayda did make a nigga feel better by not flipping out. She ain't know everything but just knew shit was gone be okay.

"I gotta tell you the whole story mama."
I ain't wanna get too involve in the Nikki shit. I locked that part of myself away and left dat ho in jail.

"About what?"

"Nikki. What I tol' you is true but it ain't the whole story. I was gon propose to her and everything...I got disowned from ma folks because the nigga she was cheating with was a nigga cousin. I knew that and still shot tha car up."
Jayda's eyes were large
"I'm not proud of it but I don't regret it either. This why I'm stressed, if the kid is mine I got to deal with my folks again. I don't want that."

"So thats who Jordan is going to find?"
I nodded.
"Is that safe?"

"Jordan will kill that nigga if he got to. Jordan is good."

We talked for a little longer before we just cuddled up and napped. Jayda was so peaceful for a nigga. I was trying not to get so stressed for my health and shit, but Jayda gave me shit to look forward too, she had a baby in her that I didn't have to question. I was a father and I looked forward to that shit so much.

Jordan didn't come back for a while we stayed in Jayda room for the night. I had to get my treatment today so I left Jayda at home.

"You good?"
Jordan showed up to the doctor office with me

"You came?"

"Yeah. I'm gone come every time. I got nothing last night though."

"Nothing at all?"

"No. I put out the word to find him though. Shouldn't be long. You did the swab shit?"

"It ain't come in the mail yet. Maybe by the end of the week or early next week."
I signed heavily
"I don't a son with Nikki. I want her gone."

"What you mean gone nigga? You want the bitch dead?"
Jordan laughed but I didn't

"Look at me. It look like I can handle more shit on my plate? I'm tryna hold on for ma kid and girl. I don't got no extra nothing to give."

"I feel you but I don't know if that's the best plan right now."

"I can sleep peacefully knowing she ain't coming back. I can't sleep peacefully knowing she up to some bullshit she tryna drag me in."
I shrugged
"If we keeping shit a buck nigga, I'm dying. I'm not letting no ho get a hand in what I'm planning to leave Jayda and the baby. Everything is going to Jayda. I'm gone make sure she good even if I'm in the dirt."

"Ace, nigga. I get the concern but, let me see what I can do before we decide to off her."

"You not getting it. If the kid is mine, he entitled to shit I leave behind."

"It's not yours. Trust me, on this. You trust me right?"
I nodded.
"Give me 1 week. Don't take the test till then."

After my treatment a nigga was drained. I wanted to get under Jayda and sleep. When I got home she had a green juice waiting on me.

"What's this?"

"Jordan told me you're trying to eat healthier. Something about heart attacks running in your family at a young age, so I made you a green juice. Well start eating better moving on. Okay?"

Heart attacks ain't run in my family but that nigga knew I ain't tell Jayda I'm tryna eat healthier yet. Jordan is a lot of things but that nigga look out for his folks regardless.

I took the drink. It was too bad, shit tasted like pineapple and grass.

"Come lay with me."

Jayda laid on my chest and just like that I was out.
