Another Moment in the Hood

"Mommy what's wrong?" Kylie asked her mother.

Cali was bent over the toilet throwing up.

"Go put your shoes on, we going to the store." Cali said.

After brushing her teeth she slipped on her tennis and grabbed her wallet, phone and car keys.

"Kylie come on."

Kylie came out her room with a jacket on. After locking up the house they both got into the car and drove off making their way to the nearest store.

"You sick?"

"Something like that." Cali said with one thing racing through her mind.

She couldn't be pregnant.

"Ken what were you doing all day?" Maurice said looking around her apartment.

There were clothes all over the couch that he figured was clean. Baby toys were all over the floor.

"I was taking care of our son Maurice." Kennedy rolled her eyes. It was hard doing all the work on her own.

"This house look a mess. You having my son live in these living conditions. Clean up damn." Maurice was getting fed up with the "I have no help" excuse.

"Help around more and this won't be a problem."

"Ken I'm busy during the day but I make it here when I can. Even when I'm here you don't clean up. Now you pissing me off."

"Fuck you Maurice. I'm tired of ya shit. Why are you even here? Why do you come here and have sex with me when you know you don't have intentions on being with me? Stop playing with my feelings." Ken yelled.

"Shut the fuck before you wake up my son. And you know what this not even about us this about Kendall. Ain't no us Kennedy and there will never be an us. You just a baby mother to me."

Even though Kennedy knew it was true it still hurt her to know that she will never be nothing to him and he would never love her.

"Just leave." Kennedy said taking a seat on the opposite chair.

"Cool down and I'll be back. Hopefully you got it looking like something in here." Maurice stood up and made his way out the door without another word.

"You not staying Trill?" Asia asked from the bed. She had a pout on her face.

"You know what it is Asia. Plus I got some shit to do."

"When will I see you again?"

"When I hit you up."

Trill grabbed his phone sending a quick text to Cali saying that he was on his way with some food she wanted.

Asia got up wrapping the robe around her naked body. "Lock the door on your way out." She said and went into the bathroom.

Trill shook his head leaving out the house. He only fucked with Asia because her mouth was good at giving head.

Trill drove over to Country Style ordering BBQ ribs, rice, mac and cheese with string beans and turkey wings with the same sides. He was hungry too.

"Can I talk to daddy before I go to sleep?" Kylie asked her mother.

"Yea let me call him." Cali took out her phone dialing his number.

"What's up?" He answered.

"Kylie wants you." Cali said and handed her the phone.

They shared some words before Kylie let out a yawn.

"Ok, talk to you later. I love you too."

Kylie handed the phone back.

"Good night." Cali gave Kylie a kiss and walked out her room shutting the door.

"Hello." Cali said once she shut Kylie's room door.

"Everything with Kylie doing good? She need anything?"

"She fine and no I don't think so."

"That's good. I'll bring some money for her tomorrow."

"Maurice-"

"Its cool. I need to make sure she got everything she need. But you been good?"

"Yea I'm good."

"You lying to me?"

"No Maurice. I'm fine, but I have to go so I'll let Kylie call you tomorrow."

"You know if you need to talk I'm here." Cali rolled her eyes. Now he want to be here all of sudden, where was he when they were together.

"Yea whatever. Talk to you later." Cali hung up the phone and opened the door seeing Trill stand there.

"What's up ma." Trill said and placed a kiss on her lips before walking into her home. Cali shut and locked the door.

"Hey Brandon. You got the food?"

"Yea it's right here."

"Thanks." Cali smiled taking the bag from him and going into the sitting room.

"You welcome." Trill took a seat and Cali sat right next to him.

"Damn you close as shit." Trill joked.

"So what." Cali said. She just liked to be under him for some reason.

"How was your day?" Cali asked after taking some bites out of her food.

"Busy as shit but I managed. Yours?"

"Crazy." Cali said keeping it short.

"You was around some woman before you came here?" Cali asked after smelling the perfume. It made her want to throw up.

"I saw my mom's today." Trill lied shrugging his shoulders.

"Mmhm." Cali said. She couldn't say he was lying so she left it at that.

Trill made a mental note to not come see Cali after coming from the female house.

"What's up with you? You tense as hell." Trill said noticing that Cali was being strange.

Cali put her tray of food day and looked at Trill.

"Well I have something to tell you." Cali said playing with the ends of her hair.

Trill noticed she did that when she was nervous.

"Spit it out ma." Trill said watching her.

"I'm pregnant." Cali said with a nervous smile on her face.
