5 months later.
"So how many more day's for soon to be Mrs. Davis is going to keep this a secret?" Crystal said, looking at Risha.
Risha laughs.
"Hold on now. What did I miss?" Julia asked, looking at both of them. "You got engaged?" She asked, looking at Risha.
Risha takes her hands from under desk, showing off this big ass rock on her finger. Julia eyes got big.
"Well damn," she said, grabbing Risha hand and touching the ring.
"Just ain't want to tell anyone yet. Crystal ass," she said, smiling.
"Don't be holding out on me. I just got back," she said
"So how was it?" Crystal asked Julia.
"This case was very werid. This couple has been married for over 30 years. But they never stayed together. The divorce between them was tough. But that's not what is through me off. This lady kept staring at me. It's like her eyes were glued to my head," she said
Crystal laughs.
"And then the daughter. She looks kind of like me. I don't know the shit weird. She said her daughter works down at the starbucks,"
"Wait. The one just around the way?"
"Yeah," Julia said
"Funny, cause when I went years back. It was a girl there I said looks like me too," Risha said
Risha receives a knock at the door.
"Hey, there's a lady out here asking for you, Julia," one of the hair stylists said, shutting the door.
Risha, Crystal, and Julia get up, going out into the front. A woman whose hair was down her back. Her skin was soft. And she had hazel eyes. She looks around 40-45.
Julia walks up, pointing her finger at her
"Wait, you the same lady I just got done doing the case on," Julia said, folding her arms across her chested looking confused about why she's here.
"I'm sorry to just pop up after everything. I just really needed to talk to you," she said, looking over at Risha. She began to shed a tear.
"Okay, ma'am. Are you okay?" Risha asked, coming up to her, grabbing her shoulders.
"I just can't believe I'm looking at both of my daughters," she said, putting her hands over her mouth and beginning to cry.
"Huh?" Crystal said as Risha and Julia looked over at her.
30 minutes later.
Risha walks back and forth as this lady claims to be her mother.
"So wait, you telling me you're my mother?" Julia asked
"Yes, I didn't expect to see both of you. Look," she said, pulling out her phone. She pulls up a photo of 3 beautiful babies hours after being born.
"So, who the third child?"
"Your other sister. She works down at starbucks," she said, standing up, whipping her face.
"I'm so fucking confused," Risha said still gathering everything as she talks to her herself with her hand on her chain.
"I know this may come as a shocker. But I've been trying to get in contact with your mother Julia. And I couldn't find you Risha,"
"I spent my whole life in the system. I'm so confused on why you back? Like what's the reason?" Risha asked as she become angry.
"I didn't have a choice. I had to only choose one of you. If I could take it back I will,"
"So the man you were married too. Is he--
"He's not your father. I got pregnant with all three of you. Finding out that only Heaven was his. And yes I've step out with another man," she said
"So give us away?" Risha asked seeing Keith come in with Owen and William.
Keith walks up as Risha pushes on him, still asking questions. He kissed her cheek, looking at her crazy. "What's sup?" He asked, seeing Risha waiting on an answer.
"I didn't have a choice," she said
"Okay, this is too much right now. Maybe we--
Julia cuts Crsytal off..
"I'm sorry, Crystal. But no, I'm confused, too. You gave me away as well. Not saying the family that raised me is bad. I'm just curious about why you let a man like that. Treat you a way," she asked, folding her arms, raising her eyebrows
"He a man who controls a lot of things, some things I can't have," she said
"Mrs. Cannon, sorry to say. But you could have walked away from that man a long time ago. Did you follow me?" Julia asked
"I did, and I'm sorry. I just needed to see you. Not knowing I'll be seeing both of my daughters together,"
Risha couldn't take that she puts her hand on her head in frustration.
"You saying you, Risha mother?" Keith asked, stepping in
"And you are?" She asked in a respectful way.
"I'm her fiance. And you?"
"Their mother," she said, looking at Risha than Julia..
"So you saying they twins?" Keith asked eyes getting big.
"Triplets. Listen, I didn't mean for all of this. I just really would like to talk to both of you,"
"All three of us," Risha said, standing in front of Keith.
Risha couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. After all these years, you finally popped up. Risha couldn't take that. She wanted to answer today.
"Sure, I'll call her," Paula said, pulling out her phone and calling Heaven.
An hour later.
Heaven walks in with her purse. Her hair was in a bun, she had long earrings on and a fashion nova dress on..
"What's sup ma? Everything okay?" She asked, looking at Julia. "Wait, you helped my mom on her case. And you looks so Fimilar, " Heaven said, looking at Risha.
"We you're sister, " Risha and Crystal said at the same time.
Risha throws her hands up. "What the fuck," she said giggling a little. But she was mad as fuck.
"Sisters?"
"At this point. You can't tell?" Julia said
Keith pulls Risha to the back of her office, shutting the door. "I don't know about all that," he said
"I mean she showed all our photos together. Hours after we was born. I really want to know if she is. If so why give me away?" She said looking down.
Keith walks up to her grabbing her face. He kisses her. "Riding with you," he said
"I know," she said biting her lip. "I'll just call them back in here, business Still running,"
"Shit I was hoping for lunch, but alright, " he said fixing his suit.
