"ZAC!" Fatima yelled walking around upstairs looking for him. He was coming out of the nursery telling her to shh."We don't have time for that! Zel is going to be here any minute and you gotta beat his ass!" Fatima told him.
"Ti," he chuckled. "Show down, what??"
"Your fucking bitch ass friend is on the way and Dinorah is downstairs, he fucking hit her!" Fatima was still rowdy. "Are you going to beat his ass or not?"
"That don't even sound like Zel" Zac made a face. "Are you sure that's what happened?"
"Zachary, have I ever lied to you?! She fucking told me at the bar." Fatima said with attitude.
"Wait so you wasn't on a date?" He asked.
"That's besides the point! Either you go beat his ass or ima shoot him! Pick one!" She walked away headed into her room. She grabbed her gun from her safe and headed downstairs and Zac followed the entire time.
"Fatima!" Zac was able to grab her arm. "I am not about to just go off on Zel, and neither are you. Let me talk to him." Zac said calmly. "Plus both of the kids are awake in the game room how you think all this is about to sound to them?"
"You have 5 minut-" Fatima paused hearing a bump on the door, she was headed to open it but Zac beat her to it. He opened it and Dinorah and Zel both jumped Zac saw that Zel was releasing his grip on Dinorah's neck but Fatima didn't see that part.
"What are y'all doing out here?" Zac asked them.
"Oh we were just umm.... Talking ," Dinorah nervously said. "Ti, we're going to take Jr and go home tonight."
"No you not!" Fatima was standing on business. "He can take Jr and he can go but you staying here."
"Fatima, relax." Zac said and Fatima cut her eyes at him. "Zel, bro let me talk to you. D, can you go inside with Fatima for a second?"
"Wassup bro? Anything we can talk about you can say in front of D and Fatima, I'm not hiding anything." Zel was trying to not be obvious but he already knew they knew.
"You sure about that?" Zac asked him.
He nods.
"Did you hit her?" Zac pointed at Dinorah.
"It was an one time and he's never done it again Zac," Dinorah answered for him.
"I'm not talking to you D, I'm talking to my brother. Zel, did you hit her?" Zac asked him again.
"Bro you know I'm not even that type of dude, I just ... I lost it that day and I'm working on it." He admits.
"Oh fucking please!" Fatima rolled her eyes. "Zachary...." She was giving Zac that look.
"When I opened the door, you were choking her.... Why?" Zac stepped a little closer to Zel.
"I wasn't hurting her." Zel said. "But why you swelling up on me nigga?" He got offended when Zac walked up on him.
"Zac please don't," Dinorah says.
"Please fucking do!" Fatima yelled.
"The kids are here, and I'm pregnant!" Dinorah blurted out. "I wasn't sure about keeping it but when I saw you tonight I knew I couldn't get rid of something we made together, I love you Zel and I know you're not perfect and neither am I."
"so you was out drinking with my kid in you? See what I mean by you do dumb shit!" Zel snapped at her and Zac pushed him back.
"Yo Zel, what the fuck is your problem?" Zac asked him.
"It's nothing man," Zel shrugged. "D, go get Jr so we can go."
"Okay," she walked inside to get Jr and Fatima followed, while Zac stayed out to speak with Zel.
"Bro I'm trying to be patient with you right now Ti wants me to fuck you up! and this is not like you, so talk to me, wassup?" Zac asked him. "Only time you act like this is when you see your mo- oh shit her birthday was the other day, you saw her?"
"What's left of her," Zel started to tear up. "Man them drugs got her gone and she's gotten worse sense your mom died, you know they were best friends."
"Yeah I know," Zac shook his head. "I'm sorry man. I was sure she would've stopped after that situation."
"She ain't even recognize me." Zel said, voice cracking. "Her own son."
"I know it's hard bro," Zac told him, "and trust me I get it I really do. But you can't let that turn you into this dude. We ain't never put our hands on women ever and we said we never would especially after the abuse we both watched our mothers endure."
"I know bro I don't know what came over me," he confessed. "I just came downstairs and she was in her phone and I was talking to her about my mom and she wasn't even listening the shit triggered me."
"That girl loves you man, nothing should trigger you to hit her bro. I know I do my fair share of shit but I would never raise my hand to my kids mother." Zac shook his head again.
"I didn't know she was pregnant." Zel said
"I know that but she still has taken in your son." Zac told him.
"You're right bro, ima fox it." Zel said pulling himself back together.
...............
Inside Fatima was helping get Jr ready. She didn't want Dinorah to go but she just heard her friend say she was pregnant and she didn't want to add on any stress by arguing with her.
"Are you going to be okay?" Fatima asked her.
"I'll be fine, please stop worrying." Dinorah couldn't stress enough that she trusted and believed her man word when he said he wouldn't do that again.
"If he even bucks at you, call me! I mean it." Fatima tells her. "I mean it! Zac did too much talking for me, keep wanna be that nigga friend" she rolled her eyes.
"You just so hot tempered because it's Zel because if that was Zac - never mind, I'll text you when we're home. Jr hug your Tt and say bye." Dinorah instructed.
"Bye TT" he hugged her.
"Bye sweetness," she embraced him. "D, remember what I said."
Dinorah nods and heads out, after a few seconds Zac comes in. Fatima shook her head at him and walked upstairs to check on Amour, seeing she was still sleep she closed the door quietly and walked into her room and Zac came in shortly after.
"I know you don't have an attitude." Zac stood watching her.
"Nope, I'll see you tomorrow, you can let yourself out." Fatima says.
"I never leave til Amir is sleep, that's how I know you mad." Zac replied.
"He's fine, they're fine, I can handle them for the night." She told him sitting down on the bed.
"How am I catching heat for this right now? I would've beat his ass, then what? Me and my brother ain't cool no more just for your friend to leave with him." Zac was thrown off by Fatima's smoke for him.
"It's the principal! He fucking hit her and you openly admitted that he choked her and you seen how mad he just got at her about being out drinking while pregnant, which she was wrong for but I wouldn't keep a nigga baby that's hitting on me either!" Fatima started going off at Zac and he just was taking it all in. "You standing there looking fucking stupid! It's giving you hit women too, do you? I wish you would!"
"Are you done Ti?" Zac asked her with a straight face.
"Been done! You could've been gone by now!"
"Fuck you!" Zac said to her. "Zel been there for us, for you, for the kids and you ain't even giving him the benefit of the fucking doubt! He going through a lot and he's trying to right his wrong, respectfully you need to check yourself you ain't perfect! Now I'm going to spend time with my son until he falls asleep and then I'll let myself out" Zac walked away and went to find Amir.
