East

I was sitting in the hotel room with my baby. I watched her as she laid in the middle of the bed and just kicked her fat legs and arms. She was a calm ass baby and I'm sure she got that from Kai because my nana always told me that I was busy body. Thinking about my nana made me realize how much I missed her and how long it's been since I called her. She doesn't even know about Kaiari and considering the fact that I told Mook about her I definitely had to tell my Nana. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. After a couple of rings she answered.

Well look who finally decided to call me. I thought you forgot about me.

I could never forget about my favorite lady. What's going on nana, how you been?

I've been good. Lauren is going to drop me off to bingo in a few with my friend.

What kind of friend? You better be talking about a lady friend.

No, my friends name is Mr.Murphy.

Oh so you move out of New York and just think you grown huh? Tell yo lil friend Mr.Murphy you got a grandson that don't play about you. I got unlimited flight benefits too.

Oh boy hush, you don't scare nobody. Now how have you been and have you heard anything about Kai yet. I've been praying to God every night that wherever she is that she's safe. And is that a baby on the tv in your background?

Nana, I found Kai, and no that's my daughter.

David Lawrence what did you just say?

Nana Kai never got rid of the baby, she got on a plane and went to the Bahamas, You have a 3 month old great granddaughter and her name is Kaiari.

Good lord. The things that take place never  ceases to amaze me. A whole baby David?

Yes Nana, she's perfect. Kai kept her a secret from everybody. She took her nana and was never going to tell me about her.

Wait a minute now David you don't know that.

How can I not, it's obvious nana.

I know Kai just like you know Kai, she doesn't have it in her to intentionally hurt a soul, if she did that she did it for a reason.

That's crazy nana because Mook said the same thing.

Sounds like that boy finally using his brain to think instead of that thing in his pants.

Ay nana come on I don't wanna hear that.

Forgiveness is powerful David. Not all possess the quality or have it in them to do so. But I raised you so I know you have it in you.

I don't know nana, I don't think I can forgive her for this.

So what you gone do, spend the rest of your life being an ornery bastard towards her? Did you ask her why she did it?

She said to keep her safe.

As her mother that was the right reason.

But what about me, I'm her father nana why didn't my opinion matter.

For generations mothers have always did what they had to do. Some might not agree but that's just the bottom line of things. You do what you have to do to protect what you brought into this world. You'll never be able to carry a child and bring it into this world so I don't expect you to understand. Do you remember the night you came to the house with Richard and Arnold?

Yes.

Before you left I grabbed both of your big hands and placed them in my small ones. I told you that you needed to get out that life while you still could. I told you all the pain and heartache that I watched that lifestyle cause. You basically brushed me off and before I knew it Kai was kidnapped, my sweet baby Nari was killed, and you were shot on two different occasions. When will it be enough David and when will you realize you can't outrun the streets, they run too long. Kai ran and kept the baby a secret, ok it's the past now. You know about her and you know why she ran, when are you going to get on board and decide enough is enough and do what Kai did which was put the safety of that innocent baby first. If your looking for a way out there she is right in front of you.

I looked at my baby and she was looking right back at me. She was my shot at a better and new life. All I had to do was be a man and walk away from all that other shit. I had more than enough money for a better life and for once it was time for me to man the fuck up.

David it's in you. I know it is.

I know nana, I love you.

I love you too David. I can't wait to meet little Ms.Kaiari. Protect her David you are her father, her first true love.

I will nana, I'll talk to you later.

Ok baby, stay safe and take care.

I hung up the phone then sat it on the bed and picked up Kaiari

Yo nana ain't gone be able to put you down once she sees you. You'll meet her soon and she gone spoil you like crazy. I know you gone be her favorite great grandchild because I was her favorite grandchild. Nari always thought she was but it was fasho yo daddy.

My phone started ringing again.

I bet this yo opp track star ass mama. She got a run on her for sure I told my daughter as I answered the phone

Yea

I see you found her.

Yea nigga, did you have to put her in another country?

She deserved sunny skies and clear water.

And yo ass deserve that small ass cell you gone spend the rest of yo life in. You knew she was pregnant and instead of just being a man and keeping it real with me you let me miss out on three months of my daughters life.

Lil East I keep telling you, I don't owe you shit. Kaisha and my grand daughter are my only concern.

What you looking for in return a nice ass Father's Day card or something and let me correct you. Yo daughter yo only concern I got mine and she don't need shit from you. Then you moved them here with these crazy ass island mfs by they self.

They not by they selves. I got people everywhere. She's been in good hands since she's been there.

So that nigga she with was yo doing huh? I should've known you had something to do with that.

He a good nigga, he can give her something that you can't.

Yea, and what's that Ali?

A chance at real happiness and peace.

He can give her whatever he wanna give her but my daughter don't need him.

You've been there for what a few days, he's been there since before she was born. He's the one who got Kai to the hospital. He's the one who cut Kaiaris cord. He's been the one helping her this entire time not you. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be having the moment your having with her right now.

I ain't gone lie Ali had me hot as fuck right now. He was literally trying to replace me with this nigga.

Kai might not see the games you playing and
She might think your genuine but I see straight through that shit. If you think imma sit back and allow this nigga to play daddy to my daughter you got another thing coming. I'll drop that nigga dead where he stand.

Nah King, you ain't in New York you in another man's castle. You really wanna start a war and you out there by yoself ?

I ain't never needed shit but my balls and my Glock, as long as I got a trigger finger imma bust that bitch.

That's the reason why she wanted to leave. You'll always choose war over peace, I've told yo ass several times that I didn't want to go there with you. But your forcing my mf hand and I'm actually getting sick of it. You won't be satisfied until they're putting flowers on your casket and lowering yo ass in the dirt. At least then my daughter and my grand daughter will be free of yo ass and can finally live a peaceful life.

I don't take kindly to threats. So since that's how you feeling and it's clear that yo daughter blinded by all yo bullshit I got something for both of y'all asses.

Let Kai know she'll never see her daughter again thanks to you...
