Lost in the Fire

1.07: Season One Finale

For a moment his life was perfect

~

Fezco couldn't stop admiring his daughter. She looked exactly like Olivia, which he thought was a good thing. She was lighter than Liv, a warm brown with a golden undertone that glowed in the sun too. Fez couldn't stop smiling as Esme chewed on her teething toy.
"Bruh she's so cute," he said softly. Esme looked at him handing him her toy which he took."
"Thank you Essie," he said with a smile.
"You can hold her," Liv said. "She's pretty sturdy." Fez stood up scooping Esme into his arms, he felt so complete as his child held onto him.

"Is she always this friendly?" He asked holding her close.
"Yeah, but I've shown her pictures and videos of you," Olivia mentioned. "I think she's aware of who you are."
"Why didn't you tell me the day you came back?"
"I was scared, plus the shit that you do. I don't want people coming after her to get to you," she explained.
"What changed your mind?"
"The thought of you never meeting her." Fez understood Olivia's reservations, he wishes he could just find another profession and be somewhat normal.
"How old is she?"
"She'll be ten months on the twenty eighth. Are you mad at me? I understand if you are."
"Mm mm, you just tryna protect her," Fezco droned. "Can we bring her to my crib?"

Olivia winced at his question, his house isn't exactly the best place for a baby to hang around in.
"Swear I'll make sure she don't get into no shit," Fez promised. "I really want Ash to meet her.
"Last thing I remember Ash didn't a give a damn about being an uncle," Liv brought up.
"He will, once he meets her. Come on, please? It's the least you can do for hiding my baby from me." Liv kissed her teeth shaking her head.
"Fine! Even though we both know Ashtray is gonna drag my ass through the pits of hell," Olivia said caving in.

Ashtray frowned at the sight of Olivia, Fez, and some unknown baby in her arms. He didn't care what was going on, he didn't wanna know shit.
"Fezco, I'm not in the mood to deal with whatever this situation is," Ash mumbled while pouring himself some cereal.
"Just lis-"
"Bitch, I just told Fez Ion wanna hear shit from him, what makes you think I wanna hear shit from you?" He questioned cutting Olivia off. Fez furrowed his eyebrows taking Ash's bowl away and dumping it in the sink.
"Aye man you can't be callin my kid's mom a bitch," Fez said sitting across from his brother.

Ashtray looked over at Liv really studying the baby again. He started laughing at Fez calling this child his kid.
"Ain't no way that's your kid! She looks nothing like you," he cackled.
"She has my eyes!"
"Riiiight. That's for real his baby?" Ash asked Olivia.
"Yes, swear on her life," she answered.
"So you kept her and didn't tell Fezco until today?"
"At least he still gets to experience her being a baby," Olivia mentioned trying to look at the positive. "Do you wanna hold her?"

Ashtray rolled his eyes holding his arms out.
"So did y'all fuck?" Ash questioned while sitting Esme on his lap. Olivia and Fezco's eyes went wide at the random question, the latter's face turning a bright red.
"Of course y'all did. Does that mean you two are back together? Or was she too busy with your dick in her mouth?"
"You know what? I'm gonna take a nap. I'm trusting you two to take care of Esme," Liv said. "If anything happens to her, I'm killing you both."
"You don't have to worry! I raised Ash on my own," Fez said proudly. Olivia gave him a look before down the steps into Fez's room.

"Make me another bowl of cereal since you wanna be a dickhead and impress your baby mama," Ashtray said while making funny faces at his niece.
"I wasn't tryna impress her. I don't want you disrespecting Liv anymore," Fez explained while getting a bowl and spoon.
"Aight I heard you when you dumped my damn cereal. Your dad is wack for that, yes he is, he's fucking wack for taking my shit," Ash said talking to Esme. Fezco set the bowl in front of Ash and reached for the child, but Ashtray pushed his chair back.
"Uh uh, I wanna hold her still," he said with his mouth full.
