Buttah is now 20 weeks pregnant. She continued to workout, and teach the hip hop dance aerobic class. Buttah hasn't gained much weight.
"Great job everyone! Remember we do not have class on this Saturday." Buttah said wiping the sweat from her eyebrow.
Buttah decided to continue to teach the dance class until her doctor told her otherwise.
"Hi Buttah, can we talk?" Kandie walked up to Buttah and sat on the dance stage.
"Sure! What's going on?" Buttah asked with concern.
"Well, I met this new guy. He seems really nice, but he's a bit controlling. At first I thought he was just being protective, but now he wants me to text him every time I leave the house. That's too much, and I don't know what to say, because everything else is perfect with him." Kandie said looking at Buttah.
"Have the other guy bothered you since the parking lot? Buttah asked smiling.
"Oh no, Uncle Bless set him straight with that powerful two piece. He acts like he doesn't even know me, and he even avoids eye contact."Kandie said laughing.
"That's good, because I was concerned that he may try to hurt you. In this new situation, you are being smart noticing the red flags. Sometimes when everything is going good, we ignore the red flags, because we want to keep the person. It sounds like you need to set boundaries with this guy. Let him know how you feel, be honest. Tell him that it makes you uncomfortable to share your every move, and you feel that he doesn't trust you. If there's a trust issue maybe you both should talk about it. It could be past hurt, and insecurities that he's dealing with, and that doesn't have anything to do with you." Buttah said looking at Kandie.
"Okay, I will talk to him. We are meeting shortly. Thanks for the advice." Kandie said getting up to leave.
"Hello Beautiful! How are you today?" Mike, the gym manager, walked into the dance studio.
"I'm doing great. How are you?" Buttah asked smiling.
"I wanted to know if you would be interested in going to a restaurant to have dinner with me?" Mike asked sitting next to Buttah on the dance stage.
"No, I'm in a serious relationship right now, and I wouldn't want to complicate things. Also, I just see you as a friend, nothing more." Buttah said standing up.
"I would like to be more than friends." Mike said rubbing on Buttah's leg.
"I said no Mike, now get the fuck away from me!" Buttah said preparing to defend herself. Sasha walked up behind Mike.
"Mike, I think it's time for you to walk away or we will file a complaint." Sasha said ready to defend Buttah.
"Well, I can file a complaint too, and stop you from teaching dance. Yeah, don't forget that I am running things around here." Mike yelled and walked away.
Buttah, Sasha, Chase and Bless were preparing for the New Years party that Buttah was having at her house. Buttah and Bless have been spending time together everyday. Bless has been very helpful throughout her pregnancy. Sometimes Buttah would go with him to Chicago on the weekends. Buttah's pregnant belly was starting to show through her clothes. Bless ex-fiancé (Victoria) was lurking around when Buttah went to Chicago to visit, but she didn't make her presence known. Buttah knew everything about Victoria, including her mental health diagnosis.
Everyone showed up for the New Years party, and everyone was having a good time. Tavvy and Kandie were flirting. Even though she was there with her boyfriend. It was obvious that her boyfriend was not happy. Buttah, Sasha, Chase and Bless were sitting in the backyard on the patio laughing and talking. Taliah and Cheeky were playing the video game downstairs. The weather was perfect for a nice family get together.
"I don't want you talking to him." Kandie's boyfriend said.
"He's just a friend. I thought we had this conversation already." Kandie said annoyed.
"Well, I'm leaving." Kandie's boyfriend left slamming the front door.
"What's going on!" Bless walked up to Kandie.
"Nothing, he's just jealous. I don't have time to baby his ego today." Kandie said with an attitude.
"Well, don't bring that drama over her Kandie." Bless said walking back into the backyard.
Everyone was getting ready to leave. Buttah walked everyone outside to their cars.
"Something is not right." Buttah said feeling this eerie feeling like something was about to happen.
RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-TATAT!! Gun shots went off going in the direction of Buttah's house. Bless start shooting at the car and flattened the tires. The car ran into a pole.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!! Sasha!!! Buttah yelled.
