Trey's POV
"Rae," I call out as I see her passing by.

"Yes my son," she says sitting on the couch crossing her legs.

"You know I'm older than you right?,"

"By 5 minutes, you're still my son," she shrugs and I decide not to pick a fight.

She looks at my neck for a minute.

"Where those bruises from? JB beating you? I swear to God," she gets up and I hold her arm.

"Rae it's not like that,"

"I'm not playing Trey," she says looking directly in my eyes.

"Sit the fuck down, it's not abuse, I'm a masochist," I say as she goes back to the position she was in.

"Ayt," she says visibly calming down.

I hand her a gift bag and she takes it giving me a suspicious look.

"Open it ms girl," I say crossing my legs.

"Trey..," she drags out.

"Rae...,"

"Why does it have baby clothes?," she says pulling out a small black romper.

"You're gonna be an auntie," I smile at her and she looks at me then back down at the romper.

"Really?," she smiles back at me.

"Yes Rae," I laugh as she pulls me in for a hug.

"I'm happy for you, your kids gone be bad as fuck," she says pulling away.

"How do you know?," I ask her with my head on my fist.

"They'll be my sons," she flips her hair back.

"Speaking of that, you wanna be the godmother?,"

"I'd be honoured to,"

"I'm glad you are," I smile again.

She puts her head on her fists and looks at me for a minute.

"SO YOU MADE THAT PULLOUT GAME WEAK HUH!," she exclaims putting her twists behind her ear.

"Yes, yes I did," I chuckle.

"My nigga," she daps me up and I shake my head.

"So can I tell anybody?," she asks in a more serious tone.

"You can't, I'll let them see for themselves," I say rubbing my currently flat stomach.

"Okay, I have to...,"

"RAEEEEEEEE!," Ace shouts from upstairs

"Shit, I gotta dash, see you later bro," she says getting up from the couch and running down the stairs.

"Trey have you seen your sister?," Ace asks standing by the doorway.

"Nope, I last saw her last night," I shrug going on my phone.

Tae's POV
(Earlier that day)

"Mi G mi have nuff respect for but you bloodclaat wrong for
dey a smoke up mi weed," Tae says looking pissed to the core.

"Tae just listen," Bree sighs

"Listen fah wah,"

"I didn't mean to,"

"Yuh nuh kno tuh ask fos," she says then leaves the room.

I walk after her then in our bedroom and see her throwing her shirt to the floor.

"Why's the weed so important?," I ask her as she rolls onto her side.

"It's mixed with something, it helps, she should've fucking asked" she huffs.

"There's more to this, what's wrong,"

"I miss my granny," she sighs.

"You haven't let go?," I ask pushing her hair out of her face.

"I don't want to,"

"But you need to," I say softly and she sighs again.

.....

After she eventually falls asleep I go to the bathroom and open her jewelry box.

I pick up 2 of her chains in one hand when I get a call from Tanya, Tae's cousin.

"I got the weed," she says immediately after I answer.

"Thank you I appreciate it," I say to her picking up a gold chain.

"Of course, anything for the cousin-in-law," she laughs and we have a small conversation.

"So what colour should the locket be?," she asks after a while.

"She seems to like gold a lot so gold would do,"

"I'll have it sent by tonight, latest by tomorrow morning," she says sounding like she's writing something down.

"Thank you,"

"Anytime," she ends the call.

I check to see if Tae's still sleeping then put on her shoes and go downstairs.

I go out of reception and meet up with the delivery man at the gate, I sign the papers and take the boxes with me back to reception.

I need a place to wrap them up and stuff.

"Raeeeeeeee, girlfriend of my best friend," I say giving her a big smile.

"Oh lord," she says shaking her head looking at the floor.

"Do me a favour?,"

"What is it?,"

"In these boxes I have drugs and I need to hide them, I don't want Tae to find out so can I put them in your room?,"

She squints her eyes at me.

"Sure," she shrugs.

"Thank you, where's Ace?," I ask.

"Oh she's sleeping, knocked out from some activities you know," she smiles at me.

"Okay then friend," I say going up to the lounge of her room.

I would've asked Trey but they're probably fucking right now.

Once I'm done unpacking the boxes I put my hands on my waist, time to wrap them up.
...........

I run down the stairs to get some more gift wrap and yelp when I'm suddenly grabbed.

"Hey baby how was your nap?," I say looking up at Tae.

"Good, what are you doing?," she asks me looking at my colourful hands.

"You'll see tomorrow baby, I gotta go," I say kissing her cheek and getting out of her grip before she holds me tighter.
