When It Works

Dangerous Game

Fatima Dre  Arian and the baby are headed out the door. Zac is confused on why all of them are rushing out in such a hurry. He gets out the car in a panic. 

"What's up?. What's going on? Zac asked

"Marcus got shot some niggas ran in the club" Dre said 

"What thee fuck man damn." Zac said 

"Aaaahhhh shit" Fatima said stopping and grabbing her stomach

Rushing to her Zac grabbed her. "You Aight gorgeous?" 

"Yea one them kickin the....aahhh fuck... kicking the shit outta me" she said standing up straight breathing heavy "mmmm shit got damn baby relax for mommy please. Zac I swear I'm kickin you when we get back home" she said getting in the car 

"What I do?" He asked

"These yo kids my kids would never, rude ass babies in my space kickin me the nerve" she said making herself and Zac laugh. He placed his hand on her stomach 

"Please be good I don't wanna get kicked yo mama got some big ass feet" hitting him and laughing

"Ain't that some shit" Fatima said rolling her eyes because the movement in her stomach stopped. Zac laughed knowing exactly what happened.

"You know y'all be having normal ass conversations in the middle of crisis like Anita damn thing going on" Mariah said plainly

"What's worrying gonna do Pooh. The outcome is the outcome whether I worry or not. Why stress until I know" Fatima said 

"Besides doesn't matter if Marcus is dead or not. Whoever did it will be either way" Zac added

"That part" Fatima retorted 

"Y'all crazy. Y'all was meant for each other" Mariah said texting Troy letting him know where her and Aria was.

They've arrived at the hospital and are told to wait Marcus is in surgery. He was hit in the lower abdomen and in the chest causing his lungs to collapse. Everyone is quiet. Mariah sees who is on duty in the NICU. She saw it was a few on duty she trusted which meant they were well covered and she could have them keep an eye on Aria while she dealt with Marcus. Troy walks in looking for Mariah and Aria. Fatima tells him where she went and he sits down. Mariah walks out to see Troy and gives him a kiss and sits next to him. He doesn't fuss about her leaving the baby. She's with one of the best nurses and Mariah's close friend. Murdock and Andi walked in not too long after Troy. Everyone is quiet. Marcus has been in surgery two hours and now Fatima is starting to worry. Zac grabs her hand

"He's a hardbody he gon be good. Son ain't checking out like that on us" he spoke softly 

"I know" she said leaning against his shoulder rubbing her belly. The doctor walks out removing his mask.

"Family of Marcus Wilson" Everyone stands at the same time

"He's going to make. It was rough for a minute. The bullet graze his liver and was lodged but we got it. He his minimal damage there. He'll have a long recovery. He's out now. I'll allow one of you back and the rest can come tomorrow. Right now he needs to rest he may not wake up tonight he's heavily sedated." 

Fatima tells the group she can't go back she's too emotional and doesn't want to see him until he's awake. Dre decides he'll go back just to let him know somebody was there and he was loved. About twenty minutes later Dre comes back out. He just walks past and heads to the car. No one speaks Mariah is in the car with Troy and the baby and they aren't speaking much either. Fatima got hungry so they stopped to grab her something before heading in. Once they got back to the house everyone sat in the living room watching Shottas. That's usually what they do when tragedy strikes the group. The movie goes off and everyone is headed to sleep. 

"Dre I swear to God if I hear you soundin like Fatima and Mariah I'm coming there and shootin both y'all. You in the ass.pointing at Dre.  And you in the dick! Pointing at Jalen. So whoever the whoever wanna be the lil spoon the big one better keep they dick in they panties. I mean whatever goodnight" Zac said laughing walking off

"What I miss" Troy asked Mariah 

"I'll tell you later baby." She said walking upstairs

"Y'all booty bandits" Troy said figuring it out finally 

"Damn Riah he slow, I hope Aria get yo brain cuz this nigga" Fatima said making Mariah laugh

Fatima goes in the room and finds Zac already half sleep. She goes to the bathroom and brush her teeth before she gets in bed the babies are active as ever. And Fatima is in pain. One more month and this will be over. I love y'all but y'all gotta go. Fatima climbs in bed and placed her feet in Zac's back and pushed him out the bed. 

"Tima what the fuck" Zac said getting up 

"Payback goodnight" 

"Tima you lucky you carrying my kids" he said getting back in bed

"Or what punk. Huh?" Fatima said gettin in his face 

"Move mean ass and no I'm not rubbin NOTHIN. You blew it. Go to bed" 

"Zac if you don't rub me, I promise you gon hate me" Zac decides to stop playing and rub Fatima until she falls asleep. "That's what I thought" she laughed 

"Fatima ain't nobody scared of you" 

"Baby shhhhh. You are" 

"You right, you a lil off"

"Says the nigga that crushed a man's skull with one hand" Fatima said getting comfortable under Zac 

Zac just laughs and rubs her body until she is asleep. His mind is on Marcus he can't really rest. Marcus and Dre have become his real family. He lays there until he finally drifts off. 

The next day everybody wakes up and is eating breakfast. Fatima phone rings. 

"Hello" Fatima speaks into the phone

"Hi may I speak to Fatima Wilson"

"Speaking now may I help you"

"I'm your brothers nurse he's awake and wants to see you all"

"Ok can you let him know we'll be there shortly" 

"Sure thing see you soon"

Fatima tells everyone that Marcus is up and before she can finish her sentence they all run to out their clothes on. Their parents are heading straight to the hospital from the airport. The bouncer from the club sends Dre the footage from that night. 

"These niggas was bold ran in with no mask or shit" looking at the footage Jalen notices the man that ran in first was just trying to figure out who the supplier was. They came up from Miami  after hearing some dude in Atlanta had the purest cocaine in the south. When Kareem and Jalen told them they would deal with them and them only he got mad and said he didn't want the product, it was no loss to the organization they ran dope all through the south. The guys must've followed them and saw the exchange between them and Marcus and assumed it was him. From the footage Marcus was one crazy motherfucker, he knocked about seven niggas before they started shooting. Telling Zac what he knew they decided to deal with it after they saw Marcus.

"First David West now these fuckin island boys wanna play. Everybody just rushing to they grave round this bitch" Zac said locking up the house
