Beauty and the beast

           "Ugh no we supposed to be meeting with the planner to go over the baby shower next week, the team that's supposed to be doing our nursery is supposed to be coming by today. I don't know it just seems like a lot, I feel like I don't have nothing done when it comes to the babies." I ranted to Mimi and Jade. "Boys y'all ready?" I shouted as I opened the front door. "Miami PD, everybody get down and show me your hands!" Boomed from the front door.

           "Oh my gosh!" I dropped my phone, throwing my hands in the air. "Kyha what's going on?" The boys came rushing towards me. "I don't know!" I backed away from the door, hands still in the air. "Everybody get on the ground now!" They all shouted at us. All of us looked at each other confused but complied. Xavier and Marquis started boo hoo crying, begging for Glock. "I'm detective Stanley Mitchell with the Miami- Dade Police Department, I have a search and arrest warrant for Daeshawn Louis, street named Glock, where is he?" A tall white man in a suit appeared outta nowhere, gun pointed directly at us.

           "I don't know." I felt tears sitting at the brim of my eyes. "It's not safe to lie." He steadied the gun on us. "Sir I'm not lying to you!" I sniffled. I'm actually telling the truth, when I woke up this morning he was gone. I had a text message from him saying him and Twon had to handle some business and can I take the boys to school. I looked at the boys, all of them looked scared out of their minds as the officers around us tore up the house, the detective never taking his gun off of us.

          "Sir you're scaring them." I shielded the boys with my body. "Good." He looked down on us. "They won't turn out like their worthless, no good, scum bag big brothers." He flicked his tooth pick on the ground. "Sir I don't think that's necessary for you to say, especially in front of them." "I don't think it's necessary for you to take up for a low life murderer and drug dealer that you don't even know." He had a smug look on his face.

           "Actually I know him very well, I'm his wife. And as I've stated, I don't know where he is. So can we please go? Y'all are tearing up our home, you haven't found anything, the boys need to go to school and I'm a million weeks pregnant with twins, this isn't healthy for me or them at all. You pointing a gun at us isn't gonna solve anything or make Daeshawn appear at this house." "Clear." Officers started coming from every angle of the house.

"If I suspect you lied to us or that he's here, I will be back." He mugged me. "And you'll be going to jail along with him." He scuffed before walking out. At this point all the boys were crying. "It's okay babies, it's okay." I hugged them, finally allowing myself to cry too. I scurried over to my phone and instantly called Dae. "Hello!" He breathed out. "What the fuck happened? Why did the police and detectives and shit come here with warrants looking for you and tearing up the house?" I cried. "Bae it's a long fucking story." "Well make it short!"

          "I can't! Just know I can't come to the house for a few days, I'm hiding out." "Daeshawn please be so for real with me right now." "I am, look baby I gotta go. I love you okay? I want you and the boys to go pack a bag, y'all getting outta there tonight. Imma call you back in a hour. Don't leave or do nothing unless I tell you to." And he hung up. "Are you fucking kidding me!" I stomped. My phone started ringing in my hand, I answered it without even looking.

"Hello!" "What just happened? Y'all good?" KD rushed out, I can hear him driving fast as hell. "Jade just called me talking bout hearing a bunch of screaming and police." "Man brother I can't even say it on the phone! I don't even think you should come over here right now." I looked out the window to see if they left anyone out there to watch the house. "Ohhh it's like that?" He said in a recognizing tone. "Just like that." I nodded. "You been in contact with yo people?" "Yup, just waiting on further instructions."
