"Sure, what's up?" I responded to Tommy as I put some leftover pizza in the oven.

"I know I don't really know your people like that, but something seems off with J. I'm gettin bad vibes. I could be wrong though." he said leaned up against the counter looking straight at me.

"Why do you think so?" I asked mimicking his stance.

"When we were at the party earlier and you announced your pregnancy he looked really mad. Like his whole demeanor changed. He was fine before. We even talked for a bit. But once you showed the poster board he basically stomped back inside with his girl and left."

I slowly nodded my head. I thought about it for a bit. Why would he have that reaction?

Maybe Janet was pregnant and they wanted to announce it first?  
Nah, Janet came up and hugged me so she wasn't upset. Shit, she was crying too.

Maybe he just had to shit really badly?
But why would he leave?

"You sure he didn't get a call or text or somethin?"

"Yuh, I'd been keeping an eye on him since our conversation cause he said something... off about you." He said looking straight ahead, slightly away from me.

"What he say?" I blurted out.

"Ion know how the topic came up but we was talkin bout our types in women n shit... He got to saying how he was into like 'bigger' girls and how he coulda pulled you but Ken got to you first."

I was disgusted. How could he say something like that about his dead friend? That's supposed to be his brother and he talkin crazy?

"I'm so sorry I didn't correct him. He had just finished grilling me about Kia and how I gotta treat her right and dah dah dah.I didn't wanna be on his bad side."

"It's fine, it's not your fault. And I understand. J is not to be played with." I admitted, still disgusted by his alleged comment.

I sighed and tried to gather my thoughts.

"Thank you for telling me. I appreciate it. Goodnight." I said with a smile.

I grabbed the pizza box out the oven and went upstairs.

I ate a slice then FaceTimed Leron.

He answered the phone out of breath. "Ay wassup? You good? The baby coming?" He panted.

"Baby? What fuckin baby?" I heard a feminine voice ask.

"Shut up, bitch." He said followed by a slapping sound.

"Leron Bartholemew King, you did not answer my FaceTime call while you balls deep in a bitch..." I said slightly disgusted and slightly amused.

"It coulda been important." He shrugged.

"Bye as fuck! I'll call you in the morning." I laughed.

He chuckled. "Goodnight cuz, love you."

"Love you too." I said as I shook my head.

"Well, das ya cousin lil boo." I said to my child.

I felt a kiss on my forehead, "Goodmorning, sleepy head."

I cringed when I realized it was the girl from the night before.

"Why you still here? Get the fuck out." I said chuckling.

"Ronny, is you deadass?" She whined.

"Don't call me that." I said standing up and checking my phone. "You know where the door is. You need an Uber or something?"

"But baby, you said I was special! You told me we was finna go for breakfast today. On god!"

I let out an annoyed sigh, "See, this why I don't fuck wit white bitches. Get the fuck out my house! And drop that fuckin blaccent you sound stupid as shit."

She stormed out of my room.

"AND YOU BET NOT SLAM MY FUCKIN DOOR, BITCH!" I yelled.

I took a quick shower, got dressed, then made my way to Ken's house.

I called Ti to make sure she was awake before I popped up on her.

"Hello?" Tia answered the phone sounding half dead.

"WAKE UP! It's almost 9!" I said enthusiastically.

"Ron shut the fuck up being loud. What you want?"

"Rude. Anyway, I'm bouta pull up so we can talk. You think you can do something with my hair while I'm there?"

"Yeah I can fix it, but talk about what?"

"Ion know, you the one who called me last night."

"Oh... How far away you is?"

"Pullin up right now."

She groaned into the phone. "Ight." She said hanging up.

I went inside and saw Auntie cooking so I gave her a hug before going to the room.

"If you wasn't pregnant I would have jumped on this bed. WAKE YO ASS UP!"

"Leron I'll punch you in yo shit stop yellin."

I took off my shoes and laid in the bed with her. I was face to face with her stomach.

"You see how your mommy treat me?"

"Yeah Unc, she wrong fa dat!" I said in a baby voice.

"I'm sayin! Make her throw up g!"

"I gotchu twin."

"I'll beat both y'all asses. Move!" She said pushing my face. "Get the hair stuff together and find a spot." She said making her way to the bathroom.

She took long as hell. I was waiting for like an hour before she finally came downstairs.

"Bout time." I said sarcastically. I shifted forward so she could sit on the couch then scooted back between her legs.

She popped my head with the comb. I puckered out my bottom lip and sniffled.

"Don't even start." She said pushing my head down before making the first part.

"Mane, whateva. What you wanted to talk to me about?"
