Saffire

Zander Pov

I open my eyes and Zion's foot is on my shoulder while his head is on Saffire's chest.

This little man needs to adapt being here because lastnight was the first and definitely going to be the last night he sleeps here.

Kick for days.

I ease off his foot and sit up on the bed with my back against the head board. I stretch while I feel for my phone.

"Why you up so early?"

"Them rass kick deh weh me get couldn't have me a sleep still."

Saffire start laughing then climb over to sit on my lap and peck my lips.

"B your mouth man chro" I say covering my nose.

"You lie like show." She says trying to kiss me while I try to move my head all over.

I finally let her kiss me while I ease her up a little and cuff her vagina in my palm. Squeezing it a little.

"Zander, the baby." Saffire says grabbing my hand.

I pull her closer to my chest and rest both hands on her ass. "Zion a sleep..."

"Daddy I want to pee."

Both Saffire and I look at Zion as he turn on the bed and look at us.

"Saffire carry him to the bathroom nuh, me go deal with something."

"Suh early? We need to talk for real though." She says lifting Zion off the bed.

"Good morning Daddy." Kyrie says as I enter the kitchen.

"Morning Kyrie. You couldn't sleep?"

"No"

"Why didn't you come call me then."

"Cause you were with your family."

Saffire walk into the kitchen before I can answer. She has her hands folded while she looks from me to Kyrie.

"Kyrie, I don't know your mother or what she had with your father but I'm sure I did not take your dad from her." Saffire says looking at me.

I shake my head and try to say something but Kyrie beat me to it.

"Your just like the rest. You don't love him. He'll see right through you." Kyrie takes his plate and walk out the kitchen.

Saffire rolls her eyes and proceeds to take stuff out of the kitchen. She is shuffling things around until she slas the door shut.

"You know what I want to go home. I don't want to get in-between you and your son."

My phone starts ringing and I look at it seeing a reminder alarm.

"Saffire me soon forward, gwaan bill until me come."

"I have a raid scheduled for today. Zander don't leave the house." She says looking at me.

I nod and rush upstairs to get dressed.

My phone ring and DaDa is happy on the other end.

"Wah mek u happy suh?" I ask him pulling up my pants.

"Forward with the key nuh dawg mek me tek the thing from out a Zues place."

"Alright me a forward."

I walk downstairs after showering and Kyrie is walking through the front door. It hurts seeing him like this but I understand why he feels this way.

Tomorrow is Saturday so I plan on the two of us just going out and enjoying ourselves like old times.

"I heard you on the phone, who you going to meet?"

"Nobody of importance. See you later."

"Zander don't let it come down to me having to pull a gun on you." Saffire says looking at me.

"Saffire if I didn't want you knowing that I am Crypto you couldn't have. Don't worry about me."

I peck her lips and walk out the house and drive off.

One and a half hour later.

"You take long man."

"Reach though." I reply closing my car door.

I open the door and we both walk inside looking at the empty boxes inside.

"Wah you a take out? Deal with it and make we cut."

"Then nuh that me a do yute.

DaDa walks to the bathroom and I walk to the front door looking outside. I feel someone touch my shoulder but when I turn around no one is behind me.

My car alarm starts to go off and each time I press it off it comes on again.

"Ignore the thing and come help me yah suh deh." DaDa yell.

Talia Pov

Zues is sitting on my bedside table looking at me angry. I open my eyes, close them then open them again and he is still sitting beside me.

"Zues wah happen? Where you been? Them a say you dead and me know you nuh dead."

He points to a picture of me and Zander then at my belly.

"Them go kill him.Tell him them want the flash drive."

"Kill who?"

"Save him. Stop drink and mine you hurt our son. I love you both Talia, never forget that."

I jump from my sleep and I'm covered in cold sweat and I smell Zues perfume in the room.

Everything that happened comes back to me and I feel for my phone and try Zander but it goes straight to voicemail each time. I call Saffire and she answers on the first ring.

"Saffire where is Zander?"

"Him gone on the road, what happen?"

"Me just see Zues and him seh them go kill Zander. Him seh them after a flash drive."

"Talia you probably drunk right now, go sleep. Cause how the hell you fi see Zues." She says on the phone.

"Saffire if anything happens to my brother I'll never forgive you." I end the call and try calling Stappa.

Stappa answers just as the call was about to go to voicemail.

"Thank god you answer Stappa."

"A who this?" He ask.

"A Talia, weh me brother?"

" Him supposed to deh home."

"Him nuh deh home and me feel something bad about to happen to him."

"Me go try link him but best believe seh you brother good man."

I end the call and sit on my bed rubbing my stomach with a broad smile on my face.

They all think I'm crazy but mommy just spoke to daddy and he says your a boy and he loves us.

I'm going to book an appointment to see a doctor and get checked.

I hope I have not damaged this baby. My mom walks in the room with two plane tickets in her hand.

"You leaving?" I ask her.

"We are leaving." She says packing up her things.

"I'm not leaving my brother. He is in trouble."

"Him cause that on himself, I'm not staying here to be killed like him or him father."

"Anything he did was for us mommy so why turn your back on him now when he needs us?"

"If you don't come with me Talia your dead to me as well."

"Guess the next time I'll see you is at either our funeral or yours."
