C45.

"You know I love you right." Kimberly says looking at her daughter 

"I know that and your only looking out for me but I promise you that Zac's different."

"I know that now after getting to know him, he's a very respectful loving young man."

Smiling "He is."

"Might I add he is doing very well as a dad, that girl in there is a very smart little lady."

"He really is and he does not play about his baby."

"And he's not wrong, I really didn't mean to make it seem like I didn't care about you asking me not to run his name."

"You already did it and Zac said he's not mad so I guess there is no reason to still be upset over it in the end."

"I just want you to be safe and happy."

"I do feel safe and happy."

"I can see that." Kimberly says admiring her daughter 

Running in the kitchen "Ahhhh....Ms ti." Yoni Screams running to Fatima 

Picks her up, "What's up baby girl."

Laughing, "Uncle Travis is chasing after me. Help help."

"Travis leave my baby alone." Fatima Shouted 

Walking into the kitchen "I ain't do none." Travis says shrugging playfully 

"He not telling the truth." Xayoni said, pointing at him.

"Yeah I know baby." She Shakes her head at Travis.

Laughs "so where yall headed after this?" Kimberly asked

"To his grandparents, cause we gotta drop off baby girl and also I wanna eat their lasagna that Zac's been telling me about, they have a special recipe that be bussin."

"How about mines?" Her mom's brows raised

"Mom yours is great too but they way he's been hyping up his grandmother own i wanna try it real bad." Fatima shrugs, Smiling

"Well I gotta taste it if you that hype for it ." Kimberly said

"One day ma, we'll set up a big family dinner with both sides maybe new years."

"That sounds like a plan."

Fatima spend some more time with her family, Dean and Zac went to the backyard to have a conversation by themselves.  

It was really important to him that he talked to Zac because he realised that he never had a conversation with hakim.

Pouring a drink, he looks up at Zac, "You drink scotch?"

"I'm more of a hennessy type of guy but I'll take some."

"I have a bottle downstairs, do you want me to go get it."

"Nah it's okay, I'll take what you got right now."

"Alright." Gives him his glass "I wanted to talk to you one on one." 

"It's as important to me that I have a conversation with you because the last nigga I never had a chance to speak with him and I saw how he treatedmy daughter." Deans said lighting a cigar 

Nodding his head in understanding, "Which is why I'll answer any questions you ask honestly, cause I just heard a glimpse of what happened to her and If I had known her on a deeper level i would have fucked him up— excuse my language."

"And imagine how I felt to know what my little girl was going through alone, I warned her about him i just felt like he was no good but one thing about Fatima is she's very stubborn, you can't change her mind once it's set."
