"How are we going to do this again?"

"Just sit back and let me. You're going to ruin everything acting like you stupid or something."

"Okay. Whatever. What are we gonna do at least? You never told me."

"Just know that it's something. I'm tired of being nice to these damn people. This was the last straw."

"Hopefully we don't get into more trouble. We can't afford that shit right now."

"If you let me handle things, we'll be just fine."

"Just talk to her, Trey. She's obviously going through something deeper than what you see."

"Nah, ma. No. I can't. She said that shi-stuff in front of Novah! My baby ain't do anything to her, man."

It was now a little later in the day and Trey took Novah to Cicely's house for some a while. He wasn't trying to bring up the situation being that he still couldn't believe himself what Farah had let come out of her mouth, however, the proof was in the pudding. He was just so confused.

"Well maybe that's really how she feels. But you know all the trouble she's gone through before. She probably just stressed."

"And I understand that ma, I do. But you don't see me going around blaming an INNOCENT child for that. Especially not one we BOTH wanted. That just ain't right."

"Well all I can say is try and talk to her. Let her know how you feel, how Novah may have felt had she understood. Just try to see where she's coming from, baby."

"I don't know. I think we need some time apart. Just until I can think clearly."

Cicely could only sigh and shake her head. She doesn't try to get involved in their marriage more than what they allow or even more than she feels comfortable with. She does, however, give them both her honest opinion on things. And she encourages communication. It's simple how she raised them from teens up until now.

"Well whatever you decide to do I'm here for you. Farah as well. Just don't make any final decisions while you two are upset with each other. There is still a baby involved."

Trey nodded his head in understanding. He knew that he'd have to speak with his wife about the situation at hand. He didn't want to anytime soon though. Her words were sticking with him hard and he was starting to slowly think she meant them.

"Yeah. I have to get her from the hospital in a couple days so maybe we'll have that talk then."

Cicely took that as Trey did not want to talk about the situation any longer and she let it go. It was out of her hands and there was nothing she could do about it.

Trey and Novah stayed over for a little while longer. Cicely cooked a small little dinner before she sent the two off on their way, and she made sure to lock up before she too was on her way with a friend.
