When It Works

Risks and Trades

Zac has been gone on business the past three weeks and Fatima is starting to miss him. He is involved in a six team trade so he's been busy. Although most owners are the hands on Zac is. He has an eye for talent, so along with his scout and marketing team they have been consumed with building the perfect organization. He needed a face of the franchise he felt Trae Young just wasn't cutting it anymore. So he set out in hopes to find a new face and hopefully start a dynasty. He made sure every morning, throughout the day and every night he called Fatima and the kids. They were getting big they were seven months now Zac didn't feel so bad leaving her for that long with two small children. Truth is Kamron and Khloe were probably the best babies. They slept on their own and through the night. Gave their parents minimal problems and didn't cry unless something was really wrong with them. They did have a cute bond. So many times they would catch them holding hands while they slept together or with their heads pressed against their cribs trying to get as close to one another as they could. Fatima decides she's been away from Zac long enough and is going to see him. He's in New York discussing a possible trade with the Nets.

"Hello"

"Hey Tima wassup?" Mariah asked

"I miss Zac, I think ima go surprise him. Can you keep the twins for a weekend?" Fatima asked

"Yea I'm off this weekend we can come over there"

"Where is my Ari?"

"Sleep thank God all she does is run and cry" Mariah said laughing

"I am not looking forward to chasing two bad ass mini Zac's around."

"Where is he now anyway"

"New York. He just got there a day ago" Fatima answered while she chartered the private jet

"Girl don't even pack hurry up and go" Mariah said laughing

"What's funny"

"Remember last time the nigga got roofied" Mariah laugh

"Damn you right" Fatima said as she laughed and hung up. Fatima packed her bags and got the babies settled before Troy Mariah and Aria arrived. She was putting the twins into their playpen when the trio arrived. Aria just learned how to walk, so her little shuffle to Fatima made everyone laugh. Once Fatima put her down she attempted to climb in the playpen on her own. She was almost there until her weight pulled her back the other way. Looking up at Troy "Dada help" wit her arms straight up. Troy picked up Aria and removed her shoes and jacket before sitting her in the playpen.

"So does he know you're coming?" Troy asked

"No nigga and keep it that way" Fatima shot back

"I got you. I actually haven't talked to him much. Him and Tara have been having non stop meetings. I called lastnight around 11:30 and they were meeting in his suite discussing a trade" Troy said lying and picking with Fatima knowing it would set her off. Fatima thinking back to last night. She called Zac but he said he was on an important call and he'd call her back. Once he did they spoke for only a second he said he was tired. Truth is he was on the phone with Troy talking about a development deal. Troy knew this he was just another annoying little brother.

"Oh really, hmph aight I'll see y'all Monday" Fatima said

"Tima I'm playing he was on the phone wit me"  Troy laughed and showed Fatima his call log

"You play too much" Mariah said hitting him

"Nigga want to see the only father figure you have laying six feet?" Fatima blinked profusely cocking her head to the side

"Just go and don't hurt him he stressed" this was news to her he hasn't mentioned anything being wrong. But she knows organized sports of any caliber can be stressful on any party involved so she took that information and kissed her babies goodbye telling them she loved them. Aria jumped up and down wanting a kiss from Fatima as well pouting "me me me" with her little arms stretched. Fatima leaned down and kissed her on the cheek "I love you see you later chunks" she said walking away. On the plane Fatima sat wondering how she could relieve some of Zacs stress and take his mind off his work. She didn't have to do much thinking just seeing her would erase any ill feeling instantaneously. She arrived at the hotel and walked to the front desk the concierge noticed her immediately.
