My Right Hand 2

August

I get back to the house later from finding Aleah. When she said she's still in love with me she left out. I stood there stuck on stupid. I still have so much love for her, she did a ten year bid for me man. I'll always love Aleah Jones but it's just not in that way anymore. "Baby I think can we go pick up her today?" "Sure baby when you wanna go?" "Now." She laughs. "Let's go then baby."

I look over at Mackenzie as we drive down to the adoption agency. This girl has stuck with me since I met her. It's funny how when I met her she reminded me so much of Aleah. Except she's never on none of that difficult shit Aleah use to be on, hell still is on. Mackenzie just goes with the flow and doesn't question shit. She's a good girl.

"Hello Mr and Mrs. Alsina." We walk inside the agency. "Good morning Mrs. Carmichael." "We're here to pick her up!" Mackenzie says. "Alright let's head to the back." We walk straight  to the back of the agency and see the cutest little girl sitting there, waiting for us. "Amaya look who's here." Mrs. Carmichael says.

Amaya looks up at us and smiles. She looks like she could be apart of our family forreal. We walk into Mrs. Carmichael office, "After waiting to get through that waiting list you two deserve a parent of the year award."

Although we aren't able to take her home until now, we'll still be doing for Amaya since we saw her 8 years ago. She's now nine almost ten years old. Her mother is in prison. So it's finally a win, win for everyone. Amaya gets a loving home and we get another daughter. It took a lot out of Mackenzie when she had Amina. The doctors said it would be a slim to none chance of her having another child.

"Hi Amaya...." "Hey. It's nice to see you again." "We get to take you home this time." Amaya smiles and hops. "Do I get my own room?" "Yes you do and you have two sisters already waiting for you." "I've always wanted a sister, now I have two." Babe she kind of looks like you." Mackenzie says. I really study her face, she does favor me a little. I could see it, she'll blend right on in with us.

We get her things and head to the house. While Mackenzie shows her to her room I head to my office. I pour myself up a cup of Henny. "Drinking early?" "Yeah." "What's wrong baby? It's seems like since Aleah been back you're mind has been somewhere else. Is everything okay?" "Everything is fine baby." "You sure?" "Yeah... Where's Amaya?" "In bed sleeping."

We go sit in the living room. "Baby we have three daughters now." I smile, "I know. How you think Liq gone react to having a sister so close to her age?" "I think she'll love it." "Hopefully it can steer her away from the whole Raevyn drama." "Have you been able to look for her?" "Nah not yet. I ain't had a chance."I really haven't between this drama with Aleah and work, I ain't had time to do anything else.

It's a knock on the door, it's Aleah. I'm surprised to see her here. "Hey Aleah!" "Hey." She looks at me , "What's up Leah?" "Hey... Listen I just came over because I was able to get in contact with Raevyn. She's at a halfway house a couple of blocks away. I just wanted you to know so you could possibly take Angelique to see her." "Oh sweetie I don't think that's a good idea." Aleah moves Mackenzie hand from her shoulder.

"I don't think you being this close to me is a good idea." "Aleah chill." "August you chill and get your wife out of my face. I was not talking to her." "Babe let me speak to Aleah alone." I say sighing. "Sorry sister in law if upset you but you can't come into my house telling us what we need to do." "I'll do as I please and again I was talking to August." "If you're talking to my husband your talking to me." "Please but out Mackenzie."

"Alright babe just walk it off Kenzie." Mackenzie shrugs her shoulders and walks out. "What did you just call her?" "What you mean?" "August! You give the bitch my nickname too. What the hell?!!' She really doing all of this shit over a nickname. "Bruh chill the fuck out." "Nigga how about I chill the fuck out and let Mackenzie know who the fuck I really was." "You keep pressing that man. Let it go. Would you like me to be as miserable as you." "Fuck you! I swear to God if I wasn't in love with yo ass-"

"If you weren't what?" Mackenzie asks walking back Into the room. Man what the fuck! Aleah looks at me. "I mean if I-" "Aleah really isn't my sister." Aleah was about to cover for me for the millionth damn time. WHY? Mackenzie laughs, "Is this a joke you two got going?" "No baby." "So what the hell is the bitch to you?" Damn man. When Mackenzie cusses shit is serious.  "Wait a minute Mackenzie... I was his best friend."
