Fatima: Love, Family, and Career

Chapter 41: X-files

It has been a few days since Zac found out Fatima was pregnant. He was ecstatic by the news. Fatima wasn't ready to tell anyone else until after her 2nd trimester just to make sure the pregnancy was going smoothly. He respected her wishes, but that did not stop him from calling and checking on her every day. He also asked to be at her next doctor's appointment.

Fatima's POV

Fatima gets to work a little earlier than usual, she has a long day. Before she goes to her office, she takes s few minutes to talk to Andi.

"Hey Andi, you have a light day today?" Fatima asked as she takes a seat.

"Umm. It's not that bad. I have to go to court today, why what's up?

"Just asking because I have a busy day and I'm already tired. Zac has been blowing my phone up ever since I told him about the pregnancy.

Andi says. "Girl you better let that man love on you. Is he doing better since the thing with Karen?

"Oh, he's doing good, but can we not mention that name?" asks Fatima as she stands up. "Alright let me get to work.

Fatima goes to her office to prepare for her next meeting. It is a couple that was married for 10 years, but now going through a divorce. The wife is trying to get spousal support and half of her husband's business. She has two more clients back-to-back and then she has a meeting with her accountant.

She gets a text from Zac. This is the 3rd one today and it's not even 10:00.

Zac: Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to bring you lunch. Just want to make sure you eat.

Fatima: I brought my lunch today because I knew I wouldn't have time to take a full lunch. You're welcome to bring me something later for dinner.

Zac: Ok, I got you. Let me know if you need anything else and I can drop it by.

Fatima: Ok, thanks.

Fatima gets back to work.

Later that day

After a busy day at work, Fatima is ready to get home and put her feet up. Andi has already left for the day. Fatima gets in her car and heads home. She just remembered she needed to text Zac her food order.

She gets home, takes a shower, and puts on some comfortable workout clothes to lounge in. Then goes into the living room to relax and watch tv. Zac just texted his ETA.

"Ooh let me see if he can stop by the store and get me some ice cream." Fatima thought as she texts him and then turns to her soap operas. 30 minutes have passed, and she finally gets a knock on the door, so she goes to answer.

"Dang Zac that was fast," Fatima says as she opens the door thinking it was Zac. Instead, it was Ian with a black and blue eye that he got while in jail.

He barges into the house, yelling and cursing while forcing Fatima to fall on the couch.

"So, you're pregnant by that nigga?" asks Ian.

"You better get the fuck out of my house Ian. Weren't you warned not to come near me again? And who I'm pregnant by has nothing to do with you. I'm just thankful it ain't yours." Fatima says as she gets up off the couch and tries to walk towards the door.

Ian grabs her arm. "He ain't me and he never will be."

"You're right about that." His dick doesn't look like shrimp. No wonder you could never put a baby in me, your little swimmers aren't swimming."

Ian slaps Fatima in the face. As soon as he did that Zac walks in and saw it.

"What the FUCK!" Says Zac as he runs an over to Ian.

Before Ian can say anything, Zac punches him. Ian falls to the ground, and he kips punching him.

"Zac, stop, stop before you kill him."

"That's exactly what I'm trying to do," says Zac and he starts choking him. "You bastard, you put your hand on the wrong one.

Zac, please stop, I don't want you to go to jail.

I don't care about no jail.

"Well, think about the baby, and let Marilyn take care of it.

Zac gets off of him.

Fatima calls Madam.

"Hello." says Madam.

"When!" say Fatima." The dog is here."

Fatima hands up and yells Ian to get out of her house.

Zac grabs Fatima and hugs her. "Are you ok?"

"Yes." says Fatima.

"You should of let me kill his ass."

"No, I need you to keep your hands clean. I got someone who will handle it before the night is over."

Fatima text Madam some information on Ian in code. Information like his home address, his job, and places he frequent.

Little did they know that this was going to be an easy job because his dumb ass can't stay away from Fatima. 2 hours later Madam's people catch Ian leaving the park near her house. He was there watching Fatima's house.

They followed him home. Fatima told them he lived in a private area. No neighbors close by. They park a little distance from the house. Ian head already been drinking so it made the plan even easier. They go to the house as he s getting out the car.

One guy puts a gun to his head. "This is how this is going to go. You go in there get a pen and paper and write I always loved you Fatima. Then go sit on the couch. Do you have a gun?"

Ian responds no.

"Don't lie to me I will splatter your brains out and then your mothers and whoever else you love. Do you have a gun?"

"Yes." Ian responds.

"Where is it?

"In the office desk."

The guy goes to get it. They both have on mask and gloves.

"Go and pour some scotch for him." Guy 1 told guy 2. "So this is what you're going to do take your shoes off get comfortable on the couch. You're going to drink at least half of this drink."

Ian does so in tears. "What are y'all going to do?"

Guy 2 takes Ian's gun and tells him to hold it to his head. As soon as Ian does that he grabs the trigger and shoots Ian. Making it look like a suicide.

Madam text Fatima. My dog just died. I'm so sad.

Fatima looks at Zac. "Well Madam's dog just died." He doesn't say anything just lays his head on Fatima's chest and they lay there quietly.
