Today is the day of me and Avianna gender reveal and the excitement I'm feeling right now is the best. Currently I'm at my parents house getting my hair braided by my mama.

"Are you ready to find out the gender?"

"Ready is an understatement mama."

"That's good."

"How many more braids you got?"

"4."

I nodded.

"How was it when you and daddy found out the gender for me and Brae?"

"One of the best days in our lives cause we both got what we wanted and I was thinking in my head okay I got my two a boy and a girl and I'm done but clearly I wasn't done."

"Do you regret anything?"

"As far as me and your dad goes?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Absolutely not your daddy literally was can't say was cause that's past tense but your dad is the best thing that ever happened to me at the time we met I was suffering from verbal abuse from your grandma that's no longer living."

"What?"

"Yeah she always spewed nasty and ugly things at me since I was 16 all because your grandpa left her and I didn't follow her dream she had for me she wanted me to be a lawyer but I wanted to be a nurse."

"So you two never reconciled?"

"Nope she apologized because she was dying that's it and I guess she wanted to die with a clear conscience."

"Oh okay."

"You still braiding his hair," my pop asked as she walked in.

"Yes I want my baby to look good."

"That's a grown ass man who is about to welcome his first child."

"So he'll forever be my baby just like his siblings hater."

"Not a hater."

"Is everyone at the park?"

"Yeah just waiting on you and Avi speaking of where is my daughter in law."

"Upstairs with Brae and Trinity."

"Okay let me go check on her."

I nodded and my mama continued on with braiding my hair.

20 minutes later

We arrived at the park me and Avianna greeted everyone then Braelyn and Trinity lead us over to the court.

"Okay so Brax you're going to through the ball at the goal and blue or pink smoke is going to come out."

"Alright."

I looked at Avianna.

"You ready."

"Yeah."

I kissed Avianna I took a breath and threw the ball at the goal and pink smoke came out.

"LETS FUCKING GO," I screamed.

I walked over to Avianna and hugged her.

"I love you baby."

"I love you more."

I kissed her and placed my hand on her stomach as everyone who was team girl yelled in excitement.

"Alright alright everyone calm down it's time to know the name of the newest addition to the Beckham family," my dad spoke.

I looked at Avianna and nodded.

"Arielle Zaniya Beckham."

Once again everyone cheered and I held Avianna close to me I know every guy want their first child to be a son but I honestly wanted a daughter and I got that.

We all talked a little longer at the park before we went back to my parents house to eat.

Later that day

Braelyn
Currently I'm online shopping for my niece I'm so excited to be a TT I done already ordered her $200 worth of clothes ranging from different month sizes now I'm getting the necessary stuff my niece will need off of Avianna registry.

"I know you're still not in here ordering clothes," Raheem spoke as he walked in.

"No I'm not I'm actually ordering a few items off of Avi registry that she'll need."

"You're excited to be a TT huh," he asked as he grabbed one of my feet.

"I am."

Raheem started massaging my feet.

"So you think you'll be the one that have the set of twins?"

"Umm possibly I'm not sure."

Raheem nodded.

"Do you want kids?"

"Of course I do where is this coming from?"

"We never talked about it so I just assumed you didn't want any."

"Well your assumption is wrong I want kids probably not as many as my parents have but yeah I do."

"Okay."

Raheem phone rung he went in his pocket and answered his phone and started back rubbing my feet.

"This feels good."

Raheem stopped from rubbing my feet and quickly stood up.

"What's wrong baby?"

Raheem looked at me then shook his head and finished up his call.

"Baby."

"That was my godson."

"Okay."

"He said that his dad came in on a drunken rage and beat the shit out of Tisha."

"What?"

"Yeah she's in the hospital Maci called 911."

"Lord."

"We gotta get to Arizona."

"Okay."

"Pack a few clothes I'll be back I'm going to my house."

I nodded and went into my closet and grabbed my duffel bag and got started with packing.

I met Tisha a few days after meeting Raheem's parents and we instantly clicked even though she's Raheem best friend I literally see her as my sister. She's been going through the motions with her kids father for a while she'll try to escape and he'll only persuade her that he's changed and he'll get better but as soon as she takes him back he instantly go back to his old ways.

This time he's not going to persuade her to get back with him Ima let Raheem know that we're going to get the police involved and get his ass locked up and we're moving Tisha and the kids here to New Jersey. Because I'll be damned if that motherfucker kill Tisha and the kids and knowing him he probably damn near liked to kill her.

I walked out of my closet and walked into the bathroom to grab my toiletries. I then sent a prayer up for Tisha hoping that she'll pull through because she got babies that's going to need her.

Once Tisha parents find out about what happened all hell is definitely going to break loose and if the police don't get to her boyfriend in time Raheem and Tisha father is going to get him.
