I was wondering what was on that tape. What if it was bad? Of course it was bad because August told me that girl confessed to drugging him. Just wait till I get my hands on her. Ima be in the back of a squad car.

"Nika you aight? You scaring me." Chyna snapped me out my thoughts.

"Yea I'm good. What made you say that?"

"You been cleaning that same spot for five minutes. Go do something else. Sit down, take a break."

"I can't focus on anything else. I'm just wondering what's on that tape. Its driving me crazy."

"Go ask Nick if you can have the rest of the day off."

"He's not gon let me do that."

"Nika he loves you like a daughter, of course he will. Just ask him. Go go." I sighed and walked to his office. Won't hurt to ask. I pushed his door open and poked my head in.

"Nick can I ask you something."

"Yes come in Nika. Come." I sat down in the chair. "What's the problem?"

"August just called me and told me I need to get home because there's something wrong with the twins. Do you mind if I take off early?"

"Oh my goodness, no! Go home and get them. I will pray for them. Just go go."

"Okay. See you tomorrow Nick." I hurried out the office. I pulled off the apron and grabbed my purse. "Bye Nika." Chyna waved to me.

I walked up on the porch and pulled my keys out my purse. I opened the door and my house was fucked up. Look a damn tornado came through here. "August! Come here!" I yelled, closing the door.

"Baybeh I thought ya was gon get off at 2:30. What ya doin hea' so early?"

"I figured you was fucking up my house and I was right. So what happened?" I sat my purse down and crossed my arms. He licked his fingers and spoke.

"See what had happened was dat I brought da' boys downstairs. I went ta' da' bathroom and came out and it was like dis."

"Nigga you lying. You know you is. Did you do this? Tell the truth."

"Okay. I helped. We was playin'."

"Mhm. And that's exactly why you are gonna clean it all up. Now where my babies at?"

"In da' kitchen."

"In the kitchen?! Why would you leave them in there? I hope they not hurt." I jogged in the kitchen and Andrew and Anthony were sitting on the floor playing with spoons. "Gimme that. How y'all get the spoons out the drawer? Y'all short."

"No! Da!" They screamed at me.

"Yo daddy gave them to you? He better clean my house up. Come on boys."

"Dey did it too. Dey need ta' be helpin'."

"Nope. We going upstairs. When I come back down here, my living room better be spotless. Bye."

"Wait, Ion get no kiss or nun?"

I pecked his cheek. "Bye baby." I closed my room door and turned the tv on. "So what you guys wanna watch? Spongebob?"

"Ya!"

"Spongebob it is."

"Baybeh, I'm finished!"

"No you not! Clean my house up! Yo daddy lying. What y'all want to eat today? Pizza? Chinese? McDonald's?"

"Ba!"

"You want your bottle? Ima tell daddy to make you two one. August, can you make them a bottle?!"

"Okay!" I want chinese. I guess I'll some Chinese Dragon. They got good food. "Hea' baybeh. What ya orderin'?"

"Chinese. Want some?"

"Yea, I want 20 piece lemon pepper wings, a egg roll and chicken fried rice. Ooh and get me a lemonade. Ya know dey lemonade be bangin'."

"Okay. You gon pay me back for all that shit you ordering too."

23 minutes later

"What the hell they got black folk working at a chinese place anyway? Give me my damn food nigga." I kicked the door closed and took my food over to August. "Why the hell do they got black people working at a chinese restaurant? Shit don't make sense man."

"Baybeh calm down. Dats what dey do. Dis shit good, if ya don't mind me sayin'."

"You right about that. The twins asleep?"

"Yep. Dey in ya bed."

"August they gon fall off. Go get them and put them in they room. That's what its there for."

"Dey not gon roll off. I put a bunch of pillows around 'em."

"August I'm foreal. If my children roll off that damn bed, Ima kill yo ass."

"Ya gon stop threatenin' me na'. Bite." I bit a piece of his egg roll.

"Nigga we just sitting here, ain't you gon turn the tv on or something? Its boring as hell."

"Ain't nun on tv."

"Put a movie in. That's what I got the dvd player for."

"Aight what ya wanna watch?"

"Madea. Madea goes to jail. Hurry up and come sit back down so I can lay on you."

"Ya know if ya lay down and eat, ya gon get fat."

"No I'm not. Shut up boy and play the damn movie."

"Aight na'. Keep playin' wit' me, Ima put anotha' baybeh in ya."

"Mm I want you to."

"Ya want me ta' put a baybeh in ya?"

"Yes baby. C'mere. I want a daughter baby. Ya gon give it to me?"

"Baybeh ya know we can't predict what we havin'. We jus' gotta keep tryin'."

"But baby..."

"Ima start pinchin' ya nipples erry'time ya whine. Stop whinin' lil guh."

"But daddy....." He reached under my shirt and pinched my left nipple. "Ow." I winced.

"I told ya." I crawled on his lap and took off his shirt throwing it over by the door. "What ya up ta' lil guh?"

"I told you I wanna make another baby. Let's make a baby."

"Baybeh I'm not really in da' mood fa' dat right na'." I scoffed, punched his chest and left him down there on the couch.

>>>

"Baybeh." He said. I stuck my thumb in my mouth and stroked Anthony's head. "Baybeh c'mere real quick. Please."

"What August?"

"C'mere bae." I scooted off the bed and went outside the door, closing it halfway. "Baybeh I know ya mad about me turnin' ya down."

"You damn right I'm mad. August when you turn me down, I feel like you not attracted to me anymore. And when you do, it makes me feel less sexy." He pulled me closer, his hands resting on my lower back.

"Baybeh don't feel down cause of me. You'll always be sexy baybeh. I'm sorry if I make ya feel dat way."

"You should be sorry. Move, I gotta cook dinner."

"But I thought we was gon make a baybeh?"

"Not in the mood right now. Maybe next time." I patted his chest and jogged downstairs to the kitchen. "Wait, August. I wanna see the tape."
