"We just clocked him coming out of a hotel with Nancy... Talia's mom" Rizz said.
"Now what the fuck would he be doing with her" Mason said. Miffed.
"What do you want us to do?"
"Follow them to the next destination and call me when he leaves her, let me know her location then and I will pay her a visit... what is this underhand mother fucker up to" he said more worried for what this meant for Talia than anything else.
Rizz and Conrad followed on as they had been instructed.

Talia sat in the doctor's office, she fumbled with her fingers in nervous anticipation of the doctor returning to the room. She was so far away in her thoughts that she jumped when her doctor opened the door. "Okay, I have the results and... it was what I thought 4 weeks ago... you are 15 weeks pregnant Talia, you are now over the 3-month mark, and you cannot bury your head in the sand anymore...
Talia buried her head in her hands and sobbed, her body heaved with it. "I won't be a good mother... this can't be happening... I was so careful; I have always been so careful...

"You conceived at a time when your body and hormones were at a low... what about the father, are you still with him...
She chewed her lips nervously and shook her head. "No... and he can't know either...
"Talia, you need to talk to someone... you have been through so much...
"What if... umm... what if I had the baby adopted as soon as it was born..." she said her leg bouncing up and down. Her eyes welling with more tears.
"You need to think this through thoroughly. With the help of someone and not alone... adoption is a big decision... this is your baby..."
"It doesn't matter!... I am a terrible mother and role model... I lost 3 of my siblings that were in my care... a baby wouldn't stand a chance with me... I can't do this to another kid..."
"Talia... Cara, Alfie and Amelia, should never have been in your care... that was not a responsibility a minor should have taken on...
"I'm not a good person, I am surrounded by too much mess... it is a toxic environment for a baby..."
"Can I ask you, is the father Mason?" She looked straight ahead and bit her lip to stop her tears flooding. "Look, I know him... his family has been in my care for years just like yours...he is a man that you can talk to...
She shook her head. "He will want me to keep it... and you don't know the type of relationship we have..."
"We are not going to make any decisions right now... I want to see you again in a month...and then we can get a scan, you can see the baby on the screen, and you might change your mind about this whole adoption..." she told her.
Talia left the doctor's office, she started to walk out of the door, and she had to stand to the side to let someone through, she kept her head down because she had been crying and didn't want anyone to see her puffy face.
"Mom... mom... that's her...
"Who?" Samira said with a frown as Khadidja tugged at her.
"The stripper that dad is screwing...
Samira looked back after her, she glared at her as she watched her walk to her car. Samira went out after her and Khadidja laughed. "Fuck her ass up mom" she walked up to the drivers' side of the car, and she banged on the window.
