TUPAC POV

I sit fidgeting as the questions being asked increased; but with one look at Meg she calms me down. It's like she understands me and knows how I feel which I'm completely grateful for. She smiles at me and I take a deep breath slightly smiling back. She always got me....

"Mr. Shakur; why come back now, it's been five years" Suge lawyers ask

"It was time. I can't be hiding forever. I have family that I lied to on this; I have friends that think I'm still dead. I had to go into hiding to not protect myself but the people around me. All because of this man threatening my life and actually going through with it. I couldn't risk anymore people I love getting hurt. And once I seen that he did this again; I knew I had to stand up and testify. I couldn't see this happen; and it hurts that it actually went through this time"

"Understandable...thank you Mr. Shakur for your testimony. The state thanks you for your bravery on today"

I nod my head looking out seeing Megan smiling at me then I look to the other side of the court seeing some of my old crew looking with disgust and uncertainty. Then to Suge as anger stays on his face.

His lawyer stands up and I sit up ready to answer any questions he has for me. I'm no longer scared...

"Pac. You did so good son. I'm so proud of you" Ma says now that we're done and out
"Thanks Ma...I appreciate it" I say hugging her

I look spotting Megan standing there talking on her phone. I stare at her taking in her appearance; still gorgeous as ever.

"Pac?!?" I hear

I turn automatically recognizing the voice and I see Snoop. He rushes towards me till we embrace. Letting go, he pulls me into another hug then wipes his face.

"Nigga I thought you was dead!!" He says
"I was...I was...but I'm not anymore. I'm wide awake now"
"You moving back here?"
"Nah; I gotta follow the ones I love and that's New York" I says slightly looking at Megan

He chuckles then pats my shoulder, "yeah Nigga get yo girl"

We all sit ready to eat. Keisha on my right, Ma on my left, Set diagonally across from me and Megan sitting directly across from me. As her daughter sits between her and Ma. I keep looking at her daughter other than her being a beautiful little girl; I think back on what I said.

I would love to be her dad; if Megan lets me. The only thing will be getting Keisha to be on board with it.

"So Pac how does it feel; to finally be free?" Set ask
"Good. It feels good..."

"So are you really gonna be moving to New York with us?" Ma ask

I stop chewing and think do I really want to move to New York. Like yes I said it but I don't know if I should.

"New York... no. All my family is here in LA so I think it'll be best for us to stay right here" Keisha says

Before I can say anything of course Set ass is going off. "We're his family so he should be with his family. Not yours"

"Well we're getting married so my family is his family. We're a unit..."
"Y'all ain't married yet so y'all ain't no damn unit"
"What do you got against me? Huh Set; I've done nothing to you"

"Yeah but lie to us saying how you're gonna be his guard and keep him safe to the next minute you trying to be with him. Like make sense of it girl! You was trying to be with him from the jump. Plus I just don't like yo ass"
