Lily POV
"I feel like I'm on house arrest David. I can't be cooped up in the house all the damn time."
"Lily you know-
"That its for my safety, yeah so you keep preaching but whatever you got going on in the streets don't got shit to do with me. Why I gotta stay inside and you out and about."
"Now you know better than that. Some niggas don't got no fuccin code Lily. They want me they gon get me even if it's through you."
"Well how bout you handle your shit before you let me bring a baby in this mess. What the fucc you expect to happen when I give birth. That me and my daughter are gon stay indoors because Daddy got a target on his back?"
"Watchu mean 'your daughter'? Man you acting like this only hard on you. You think I want you miserable and pregnant?"
"Oh so you think I'm miserable now, huh."
"C'mon man I ain't mean no harm by that-
"I don't give a fucc what you meant Dave, you said what you said but I know one thing though. You better get your shit all the way together before OUR daughter gets here."
I don't care how much he begged me to stay home, it wasn't happening not today. I texted Kiki letting her know that I was on my way over. Luckily I already bathed so I just threw on some comfortable sweats, grabbed my car keys and did the dash."About time, I thought I'd never eat Keisha damn."
"Girl move your greedy butt from my kitchen. I'll bring yo plate just sit your pregnant ass down before you hurt yourself or sumn. I don't want no beef with East."
"Neither do I but I still got it."
"Talk to your bestie, what going on?"
I told her the argument we just had and explained the whole situation. How he wants me in the house and how trapped I feel. After thoroughly giving my point of view and expressing my feelings, I expected my best friend to have my back but instead Kiki gon say.. "Well I don't blame him."
"Excuse me? You're taking his side?"
"I understand where you're coming from but Dave loves you, he just wants you safe. You knew the kind of man you were involved with before you even fell for him or got pregnant. The streets been hot so I get why he doesn't want to risk the lives of the woman he loves and his unborn child, Lily. I'm sure he knows you hate being in the house all the damn time especially since he's still out there making money moves-
"So he can risk his life and I get no say in it? I am not raising a baby on my own Keisha."
"Somebody got to take the risk and better him than you. Just trust that your man is safe and knows what he is doing. How bout we talk bout something else, like your birthday tomorrow." This is the least excited I have been for my birthday. To be honest I almost forgot it was tomorrow. I've been so focused on other things, mainly my baby whose been beating the shit out of my stomach lately.
"I just want lots of food tomorrow. I wanna eat my belly full and get a real nice foot massage."
"You're so boring damn."
"It's your godbaby that's making me this way I swear. She got one up on me every time."
"We better hurry up get her outta there then." She teased.
