It's was a Tuesday evening, Fatima was home. Her and Lori was putting up the last of the girls room, And Zac was playing basketball. Everything been great, Karen was no longer a factor in Zac and Fatima's life,  although Aaron wasn't the daddy of Karen son he still was raising him like he was.

At the basketball court:

Zac: Yooo game over pass me my ball I'm outta here

Tony: Come on man just one more game

Nate: Nah let him go you know how he is his women don't be wanting him to hang with us

Zac: Man Nate bro at least I got a girl, and my girl due any time now so why would I stay out late knowing she needs me, come on bro think smart

(The guys laugh)

Tony: He got a point

Nate: that funny bro you didn't even have to say all that

Nate and Lori separated, they only communicate when it's beneficial for the kids. Lori was doing her and she loved every moment of it . Lori has been staying with Fatima for the last week or so, because Fatima due date was approaching and she wanted to be there for her just in case , since Zac was working, and taken care of Zayden to.

Back at the house:

Fatima gowns and says "Shitttttt"

Lori: What T you good?

Noor: Auntie are you okay

Fatima: Just another contraction, this shit is bad women really have to go through all this just to bring life into this world

Lori: Yeah girl shit I had to do it twice at least you got your 2 right off back

(Fatima laughs)

Fatima: I'm not doing this shit again, I'm 3 and done

Lori: Your ass say that now, the way y'all be fucking, you gone be pregnant again and again

Fatima: No No No 3 kids is enough, + I got Noor and Nasir we good

Lori: Speaking of that, I updated my will, and giving you access to everything for the kids, I want you and Zac to be Noor and Nasir god parents. I've always had this in back of my mind but I didn't know if you would say yes or no because of you and Nate relationship

Fatima: Lori, Nate and I relationship have nothing to do with them kids, they will always come first, and me and Zac will be happy shit I been waiting for you to ask me , you was taken to long I was about to claim them myself

Lori: You a damn fool, but thank you

Fatima: Always

Fatima goes lay down, and Lori goes downstairs to see what the kids was doing, Noor and Nasir was going with their dad, Lori waited for Zac to get home so she can go get some items for the house.

(A knock on the door)

Lori opens the door, it was Andi, Andi has been coming everyday after work, for support for Fatima, Karen hated it, Karen felt like Andi was there more for Fatima, then she was with her. But that wasn't the case Andi try to be there for Karen but she wouldn't let her in , Andi insisted that she go back to the woods with her momma cause she was tripping.

Andi: Where my babymomma at?

Lori: She's upstairs laying down, she been having a lot of contractions, so keep a eye on her and time them, I'm gone go grabs some things for them then I'll be back, Can you keep a eye on the kids

Andi: Yes and Okay here (Andi hands Lori her credit card)

Lori: what's is this for?

Andi; Pay for the stuff with this I know you been helping a lot lately so I what to help to

Lori: It's my duty to, but thank you I'll take you up on that offer

Lori had money, She didn't mind spending money, she was the girl's godparent, and Fatima was her best friend, Lori knew if it was the other way around Fatima will do the same thing.

Andi: And Lori, thank you, I know Fatima is lucky to have you

Lori: she lucky to have the both of us, I'll see you in the bit.

Andi: See you.

Lori: Nasir and Noor if your dad, and Uncle Zac comes before I come back, tell your daddy to wait for me to come back before y'all leave with him

Nasir and Noor: Okay mommy
