Man POV
I sat outside my sneaky link house, dreading the phone call I had to make before I went in. I pressed call hoping that the phone went to voicemail and just my luck, it didn't.
"Hello!" King said.
"Hey man, you gotta second?" I asked King.
"Yea what's up, how India doing, you went to the house to check up on her?" He asked.
"I think you need to come home, I didn't wanna say it in-front if her but she look like a ghost Caine, she look real sick and she need your support for the remainder of this pregnancy bro." I didn't wanna add that I saw Chet and her kissing because I knew Chet would be dead the minute King landed. That was more unnecessary stress that I knew India couldn't take right now.
"Man you know I can't leave right now, it's to much money on the line if I don't make this deal, India just gonna have to wait-."I cut him off.
"Nah nigga forget about the money, don't you love your kid man, didn't you say you were feeling India, why i feel like you keep making excuses on why you barely been seen with her this entire pregnancy?" I asked.
"Listen here Man, I didn't ask you to go see her for you to lecture me on my shit aight, I have enough shit going on I don't need this right now." He know, I'm right that's why he's getting all defensive and shit.
"Well obviously somebody needs to lecture yo ass. You been acting like our fathers nigga, deadbeat, absent, I don't care if the kid ain't here yet it's all the same, we promised each other we wouldn't do no shit like that." I told him.
"Nah nigga we promised to never have kids. And I have this gut feeling this ain't even my fucking kid bro. I'm not attaching myself to no baby until I know it's mine for sure. So mind your business bro, I asked you to check on her not to tell me what the fuck to do." He said with a attitude.
"Oh so you think because you assume the baby ain't yours it's okay to miss out on this shit? " I asked him. King never said that as a possibility, no wonder he hasn't told our family anything yet, not even our moms. "You gonna regret this shit King, I promise you that bro."
"If she let me fuck not knowing me, ain't no telling who else she let fuck. She didn't even tell me about the pregnancy, I had to find out on my own, and it seem like hoe-ish ways run in the family she probably just like her mom. Something in my gut telling me this ain't my baby man, and my fut has never steered me wrong." He said frustrated.
"So if this is your kid you'd rather miss out rather than just be there till you find out the truth?" I asked. "You can't get these moments back Caine, I hope you understand that." I told him. The phone went silent for a second.
"Alright bro damn."he said frustrated. "Ima fly in as soon as possible. I'll let you know when I land." He said before hanging up.
I felt like I was betraying my brother on that phone. Knowing what I already knew gave me doubt in the paternity of the baby also but at the end of the day it's a possibility it is his kid. Thinking about India right now has me distracted as fuck low-key, like I know India and King aren't together but damn you are pregnant, you can't be fucking niggas while you pregnant that's the ultimate disrespect. I just prayed that King don't find out because it's no telling what he'd to them both.

End of conversation.
I don't know what's gotten through her head but she better be happy she pregnant. Like you can't answer the phone, when I'm asking about the baby you say is mine. She probably really talking to the real baby dad or tryna set me up or something.
I was 5 minutes from the house and was anxiously waiting for her to keep that same energy when I saw her in person.
I hopped out the car walking up to the the door, it was mid afternoon and I knew she was home alone with Brayden because the twins were in school right now. I unlocked the door walking in and went straight to her bedroom because I knew she probably put Brayden down for a nap by now.
I walked up the steps and towards the room and halted in my step at the surprise in-front of me.

General Fiction"Can you just take me home please?" I asked again. I put the drink down folding my arms over my chest. "I don't want to." He said grabbing me sitting on the couch. "I wanna get to know you some more" he pulled my feet on his lap unstrapping my shoe...
