Omniscient


Kai slowly walked over and took a seat on the couch across from East. To say she was scared was an understatement, she was terrified. She said his name again but he still didnt answer her, he just  continued to sit there and stare at his daughter. After a few minutes Kaiari began to get a lil fussy. Getting up from the couch Kai approached East.

Shes hungry, let me feed her and change her diaper then I'll give her right back. He still didnt budge. Kai slowly reached for Kaiari, hand her to me East.

If you touch her ill break both of yo fucking hands.

Kai knew not to play with him so she just stood there. Knowing that her baby was crying because she was hungry she decided to go into the kitchen and make her a bottle. She went to her room grabbed a diaper and some wipes then went back into the kitchen to grab the bottle. Walking back into the living room she handed the stuff over to East. He still had yet to even look at her. Kai watched him as he tried to give Kaiari her bottle but she was being stubborn.

She's stubborn like that sometimes, she'll take it eventually.

After a couple minutes of East trying Kaiari was finally drinking her bottle and dozing off. Once she was sleep East stood up and walked to Kai's room and laid her back down in her bassinet. Walking back into the living room he stood there and watched Kai as she sat on the couch with her head down.

You a fucked up person I just want you to know that.

I never meant to hurt you East, you gotta believe me.

Believe you? You the same mf who sat on the phone and told me you were on your way to kill our baby. But that was a lie. So what the fuck you planned on doing starting a new life here and letting that nigga play daddy to our daughter?

No it's not even like that.

Then what the fuck is it like? You literally hopped on a plane knowing you were pregnant with our child and disappeared. I spent months looking for you. I was fucked up knowing I lost you again. I was even sicker knowing that you killed our baby. What the fuck did I do that was so bad that you were willing to keep her away from me, huh Kai?

It all became too much, I didn't know what to do. I felt like as long as I was with you bad things would always happen. How could I bring my child into that? I did go to get the abortion but somehow Ali got in touch with me and convinced me not to do it. Once I went to see him it's like he was a guardian angel, here was this man who had all the tools to make everything right. He gave me a chance at happiness and peace. I knew once I decided to not go threw with the abortion it was no longer about me, I had to do what I had too for me and my daughter. I didn't care about protecting anybody but her.

Every time you say something about her you say "my" she isn't just yours, she's ours. Who the fuck you think you is to make decisions for me and you? You didn't make her by yoself she just as much mine as she is yours. When I begged you not to do it you dismissed the fuck out of me and hung up in my face. But Ali make one phone call and your willing to hear him out, you don't know that nigga, then you sitting up here talking about a guardian fucking angel. That's one thing that nigga Naeem was right about, you gullible. You'll see the good in anybody. Well anybody other then me. Name one fucking time you was in trouble and I wasn't there for you. The backyard party when mfs started shooting, I was half way up the block, I risked my life to turn around and get you. When niggas kidnapped you, again I risked my life coming to save you. When Ken brought his ass back and pointed that gun at you I put my life in danger and was willing to take a bullet before I let him harm you. It's always been me Kai, Not yo mama, not Ali, not Ken, not yo friends ME!!! And what you do every time I need you to finally have me? You run! You soft and you weak as hell.

I tried to be there for you when Mitch died and you pushed me away. What the hell was I suppose to do East. When I finally came back to New York, I wanted nothing more than to make amends with you, and just like before you pushed me away. The same thing happened when you got shot, you stepped down and I stepped up. We were suppose to be a team but how when I don't
Feel like you have my best interest at heart? I'll be gullible, I'll be soft and weak as hell too. But when it comes to my child try me and see just how ruthless I can get. I don't regret shit. Your the one who picked the streets over us.

Exactly a team. The same way I've always protected you I'll do the same for her. You pushed me further into the streets when you decided to run and keep her a secret. If you would have told me on the phone that day that the only way you would keep her is if I left the game I would've walked away from all that shit. That day at my nana house when I told you I brought us a crib I told you that I wanted a family I just wasn't in a rush to have one because there was a lot of bs going on. When you got pregnant you didn't tell me shit, I only found out because your mother said it to Ken. From the moment you found out you had every intention on keeping it from me. You talk all that shit about how yo parents always lied to you kept things from you and all that other bullshit but you were going to do the exact same thing to her. I didn't have my parents I know what that shit is like, I would have done any and everything to make sure my daughter never grew up the way we did. I don't even know her fucking name.

Kaiari Dior Brewster Kai told him in a low tone.

And where exactly did you plan on telling her she got her last name from?

I didn't plan on keeping her away from you East, the timing just had to be right.

When was going to be the right time for you Kai? When she was already walking and talking? When she was old enough to think another man was her father? WHEN?

I DONT KNOW WHEN EAST!!!

You don't never know shit, all you know is to let everybody around you make decisions for you. But I'm the bad guy. Im the one that's not good enough to be in my daughters life. All a nigga ever did was loved you. I wanted us to beat the odds and work. I promised you that I'd put that tux on for you. Now it got me thinking was you ever really worth it? Hell is love even worth it? The mfs who say they love you will hurt you the worst. But check this out. For every sleepless night I had, for every tear a nigga dropped, for every lie and for keeping my daughter away from me for 3 months of her life I want you to know that you and yo bitch ass daddy gone feel my pain, every fucking bit of it. You dead to me and if you even think about trying to run again and keeping her away from me yo ass thought you done been through some shit, imma show yo ass just how real this shit can get. Now try me if you want too!

East left the house leaving Kai drowning in her own sorrows. She didn't know what to do or who to turn too. She felt like Ali had done enough. She knew if East felt the way that he did then so did Yaya and Des. She thought about calling her mother but what if she would be just as mad as East. She didn't want to involve Nile's because she didn't want him stuck in the middle of things that he had nothing to do with. She was back at square one. Afraid and alone.
