Billie

"Can you make a funny face?" I asked Eloise as we ate ice cream in the kitchen, I was just trying to spend quality time with my daughter before I had somewhere to be.

She stuck her tongue out attempting to make a funny face.

"Okay my turn," I put my hair behind my ears and did my signature lama face.

This made her laugh hard, I've always loved her little laugh and smile, it brought me so much joy.

I'll do anything for this kid.

"Good huh?"

"Funny mommy," she pointed her finger at me.

"I'm not that funny"

"Mhm," she nodded.

"I love you so much my little bean"

"Billie?" My little cousin Claret came into the kitchen.

"What is it?"

"Your father wants you," She looked down at her hands and messed with the rings she was wearing on her fingers.

"It's not good huh?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure Billie"

I rolled my eyes paying attention back over to my baby girl finishing her Ice cream.

"Good job you're such a big girl," I tickled her belly causing her to giggle.

"C'mon beautiful let's wash your hands and face," I picked her up and brought her over to the sink.

"What's happening?" I asked while walking over to the living room with Eloise in my arms, I see Isis and her dad on one couch, and my mom and dad on the other.

I sat on the couch my mom and dad was sitting on and looked around, everyone did not look happy at all.

"So Billie Isis is pregnant again," my dad said.

"Wait what?" I chuckled not being able to believe it.

"Yes Billie"

"She's fucking lying"

"We've already gotten her tested and confirmed"

"Then it's not mine"

"We got her tested for that too it's yours Billie"

"No you're a fucking liar I don't even remember the last time we fucked."

"On the night of your birthday remember?" Isis spoke.

"No I don't you fucking bitch"

"Enough just admit it and own up to what you've done, own up to your responsibilities," my dad shouted at me.

"We know about the drugs Billie and that you used that night," my mom said.

"It was one fucking night"

"We let you get away with it once but now you're marrying her," my dad spoke.

"Marriage? She hasn't even at least picked up her daughter once and you want me to marry this bitch and have another kid with her when she doesn't even appreciate the one she gave birth to but I'm the bad guy?"

"Maybe we can start over?" Isis.

"No fuck you and your stupid fucking plans to sabatoge me I can see right through you and you don't fool me one bit"

"I want this to happen I want something good between us"

"Us getting married you want that?"

"Yes"

"How about fuck you"

"You're marrying her and that's final," my dad said.

"Fine but don't expect me to sleep in the same bed as her or show her affection or not cheat on her because you're too hypnotized to see that she's trying to trap me like I'm the fucking nobel prize or something"

"I just want to be with you and only you Billie I don't know why you can't see that"

"Because baby you had a nice body and a great pussy"

"God Billie you're disgusting," my mother said.

"Now you know where babies come from mom"

"Why would you say that around your daughter"

"She ain't gonna remember none of this shit gimme some twin," I held out my hand and Eloise high fived it.

"Go to your room I've already made up my mind you're marrying her and that's final"

"Fine but don't expect shit from me?, c'mon beautiful," I picked Eloise up and we left.

"Do you have to get married?" Cassie asked me.

"My father made up his mind it's not my decision"

"You didn't tell me you slept with her"

"...I know I'm sorry, but I don't want her at all I think I made that pretty clear, but If I don't marry her my father will shoot me literally because it's the rules"

"Right"

"She's not getting shit from me but a fucking ring"

"I think imma go"

"Hey," I cupped her by the cheek.

"Don't let it go to your head," I told her staring right into her hazel eyes.

I leaned in for a kiss but she backed away from me.

"Don't you brought this upon yourself" she said with tears filling her eyes and she left my bedroom.

"Shit"
