Nobody's POV
Shots fired. Dulamah raced down the stairs and looked around. "Everybody get down!", he yelled. He ran down to the man cave and grabbed his caliber. Everybody was on the floor. There was a knock on the front door and Dulamah opened it with his gun by his side.
When he opened the door Qasim Ameen walked through looking around. "Why is everyone on the floor?",he asked. "Someone's shooting", was Dulamah's reply. Qasim Ameen chuckled. "Oh shit that was me", he said busting up laughing.
Dulamah popped him up side his head. "Stop being foolish Akhi. You could've gotten killed", Dulamah said showing Qasim Ameen his gun. Qasim Ameen shrugged. "Well alhamdulilah I'm not". Dulamah closed the door then went to put the gun back. He walked up the stairs back into the room with Jalilah.
"Was that my stupid brother?", she asked. Dulamah nodded. "Yeah he's always playing around. One day he is going to get hurt baby", he said. Jalilah sighed. "I'm going to have a talk with him InShaAllah. Cause I don't want my baby brother dead over some foolish childish ass shit", she said. Dulamah helped her off of the floor.
She rubbed her belly then punched Dulamah in his chest. "What was that for", he asked. She shrugged. "I just like hitting you baby", she smiled. He rolled his eyes. "Baby please don't make me hit something again my love", he said grinning. Jalilah's eyes trailed in between his legs. Dulamah caught her looking. "You want some more baby", he asked kissing her lips softly.
"Nah I'm going to pass", she laughed.

Dulamah's POV
Months later.........
Today I was going with Jalilah to see the genders of our babies. Come to find Jalilah doesn't want to know. "I want it to be a surprise", she kept saying. Ayah stared at Jalilah then rolled her eyes. She was really starting to be sassy and it was really getting on my last damn nerves.
"Mommy you're slow", Ayah said as she strapped herself into her booster seat. Jalilah covered her face after putting her seat belt. She's been trying hard to ignore Ayah's rude comments. I know that it been getting to her bad. "Fa innee ri ayah (where is courtesy)", I asked angrily as I looked back at Ayah. She huffed then rolled her eyes.
"Ugh. I'm sorry Jalilah",she said. Jalilah started crying. When did this little girl started calling my wife by her first name and not mommy?? I'm lost as hell. Khalil was fast asleep holding his blanket close.
"You better change that sentence little girl", I said to her. Jalilah placed a hand on my lap. "Please don't worry about it", she said with tears in her eyes. I hated seeing my wife cry or on the verge of tears. It was painful and made me feel weak like I couldn't protect her from crying.
"Why should I? She's not my mother". I pulled out of the drive way and drove down the road. "Have respect Ya Ayah. Indeed Allah loves those who are respectful", I said. "I am respectful I'm being nice", she sighed. "Not with all that huffing and puffing and rudeness Ayah", I said stopping at a red light. I looked back at her and she was playing with her hands.
"Well I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude".

Jalilah's POV
I don't know what has gotten into Ayah. She has been so rude and mean to me lately. All I have been to her is nice and she's just been the devil child. We pulled into the women's clinic and we all got out. Ayah stared at me the whole time. Dulamah took Khalil put and carried him.
"Will we be in here long?", Ayah asked me holding my hand. "Allahu A'lim", Dulamah and I said at the same time. "Why couldn't we go eat first?", Ayah complained. Dulamah have her that look to say shut the hell up with your bull crap ass whine. She stomped her feet as we crossed the street and whined.
When we got into the building Ayah and Khalil immediately ran to Ms. Sammy the candy lady. She always gives them snacks and juices. "Hey Jalilah", she said waving to me. I waved back.
Dulamah and I took a seat in the waiting area. Dulamah got in Instagram while I was checking my text messages from Jannah. Ayah and Khalil came and sat back down eating some Cheetos. Twenty minutes later they had called us into the office for my ultrasound.
