My Right Hand 2

Aleah

"Hey baby." I greet Ty as he walks inside from work. What's up? He says dryly. "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing." He loosens his tie. "Really?" "Yes. I'm about to shower." "Alright then." He leaves out of the room. It's a knock on the door. I wobble my way too it. "Can I help you?" I ask looking at a guy. He's kind is cute.

"I'm here to pick up my daughter." I look at the guy sideways, "Excuse me??" "So you don't remember me?" "I don't even know-" He kisses me. Ow, whoa! "What the hell is going on here?" Ty asks. "KC?"

"What's good princess?" He asks smiling. I didn't remember shit else about 10 years ago, I never forgot those lips. That is not the damn point of the matter. "Someone better say something." I turn around to Ty, "Baby this is KC." "And why the hell is he kissing you?" "Look my fault." KC says. "You right yo fault. What's your business here again?" "KC I saw the car that day..." "I know Aleah but it wasn't me. I can't go into details now but I'll explain later."

"Later when?... I'm still waiting to know what you doing here." Ty says. "I'm here to pick up my daughter." I knew it was something he said before he kissed me. Who is his daughter? "KC what are you talking about?" "Amaya that's her name right?" "How do you even know- like what?" I lean back on Ty. This isn't making sense. I know I was with both of them and she looks like August. It's some mistake here.

"I've seen the pictures Aleah." "KC you aren't making any sense. She doesn't look like she looks like August." KC looks me sideways, "Damn Aleah I supposedly blow up and you get with him, good ole best friend." "I'm not talking about that right now." "And this is who?" He asks. "I'm Ty her boyfriend." "What's poppin?" "That kiss wasn't." Ty isn't letting that go anytime soon. "I didn't mean to offend you."

We all sit down at the sofa. "Baby it sounds like you left the water running..." "It's fine." Ty says. Well okay then. "Back to Amaya." "KC she's not yours, she looks like me and August." "Nah I can see me in her." "So what you wanna do? I'm really telling you she doesn't look like you." "Let's get tested." He's really being extra for a person whose supposed to be dead. I roll my eyes, "Whatever I'll have to call August and clear that with him. He has custody of her."

"Damn really? Why?" "Because of some things. Look I'll be back." I get up and walk upstairs into the room. I grab my phone and call August. "What's up Leah?" "What you doing?" "Nothing what's up?" "Um well... KC is here." "Say what now!" "Yeah and he believes Amaya maybe his and um.. He wants to get a DNA test." "Man we been through this already. She's mine." "I know and I tried saying that but he's insisting on him possibly being the father." It's get quiet, "I don't want to put her through that."

"We only have two options here though either voluntarily do it or he can go through the legal system. Going through the legal system would delay it but eventually they would go through with it." "Alright I guess man. How we doing this? Let's get it over with." "I don't know yet I'll call you back." "Alright. Don't be over there being pressed about this shit. It's easy and we already know who her real father is." "I got you Aug." We hang up and I head back downstairs.

I look at the time, "Baby our appointment is in an hour." "Alright baby. We'll leave in about 30 minutes." "Okay." Ty goes to shower finally. "So what Aug say?" "He's down but like I said we already know he's the father." "Alright cool. So he's interesting." "Your interesting popping up
after what ten years." "It's complicated." "Whatever KC." "Don't be mad princess." "Stop calling me that." "Why?" "Because I said so." I don't need any other reason.

I feel a kick. I smile, "Mama feels you baby." KC laughs, "Talking to the baby?" "Babies actually." "Damn Aleah." "Yeah." "Excited?" "Yeah and nervous." "You'll be fine." "We sure will let's go baby." Ty ass is not playing any games and I actually like it, kind of a turn on actually. Not right now Aleah. Get that shit off your damn mind. I get up and walk to the door. KC goes towards the door, Call me when it's time to meet up with August." He says walking by. "Okay."

We arrive to the doctor office and head to the back. "How is the lovely couple doing today?" Dr. Kettle asks. "We're good doc. Yourself?" "I'm good. Lean back and let's see what's cooking in the oven here." She pours the gel on my stomach. I look over at Ty who's eyes are glued to the screen. "Alright... It's looking like one girl , wait... It's one girl and one boy." "Aww."  "We definitely aren't having anymore children." Ty laughs, "Alright babe."

"Congrats mom and dad." Doc says cutting the light on. "Thanks." "Your pressure was a little high so I want you to take it a little easy." If she knew how easy I was already taking it she'd tell me to go sit in a corner all day and do nothing. She really said that in front of the wrong person, Ty will lock me up in the house all damn day. I had to quit working because working for that lil she devil wasn't working even when I wasn't pregnant. Then with my mood swings changing every thirty seconds, it's a lot that easily stresses me out. But for the sake of my babies I'll try to even easier. "Okay Doc."

"Alright well here's your copies of the sonogram and we will see you two next month." We leave out of the office. "Lord it going to be a little girl running around here." Ty says. I laugh, "Yep. I got what I wanted." "I just wanted two boys, that's all. I can't deal with girls man. It's too much shit, niggas be thinking they slick damn she ain't leaving the house until she's 65. We naming her a boy name. No boy would want to talk to a girl name Ronald." I laugh, "We aren't naming our daughter no nigga name."

"Ha. That's what you think. I know what I'm putting on the birth certificate." "I will kill you." "Gone ahead. Bet I remove that life insurance policy. You ain't using my death money to change her name." He says laughing. "You get a little boy though." "We get a little boy. He gone be straight stand up gentleman just like his daddy but baby girl I know you know my voice by now if not this is father.... So look baby girl daddy loves you death but you will have an ugly name. Sorry thank your mama for being so beautiful."

"Ty... Really? Your blaming me?" "Unless she looks like me then she can get a girl name.. If it's you nope." I laugh and shake my head. "Don't worry baby girl mama won't let daddy give you an ugly name." "Listen to your mother if you want too." "Anyway Tywon. Want the boy to be a Jr?" He smiles, "That would be nice." "Tywon Jamel Jackson Jr... Sounds good. Girl names? Hmm..." "Tywon Jamel Jackson the Third." "Shut up. We aren't naming her a boys name... I name Tyleah. It's both of our names together." "That's cute." "Tyleah Simone Jackson."

"Who's name is Simone?" "My mamas." "Oh gotcha." "I love you Ty forreal." "I love you too baby." We get back to the house. Finally I can sit down. My phone rings, "You ready?" Aug asks. "Yeah. I guess." I get back up. "I'll see you there." We hang up. I send KC a text. "Baby my feet hurt." "Aw poor baby." "Wanna rub them?" "Uh no." "Ty!" "Come on let's go." We walk to the car, "So are you going to rub my feet?" "Nah I'm good on that Aleah." "But baby all this extra weight from you're children and all this moving." He laughs, "Girl these are your children too. You help create them too." "Your sperm did all the work."

"Yeah, yeah sure." "Baby please." "Baby no." "Suck my big toe." He laughs, "You mad now?" "Leave me alone." I cross my arms and turn towards the window. We arrive to the DNA testing center. I see Aug and Amaya still sitting in the car. I guess we're waiting on KC now? Wig sees us and gets out. "What's good folks? I was about to call you. We went in and did it already."
"With KC?" I ask. "Yeah. He's inside sitting. "Oh well then damn."

We get back to the house. I shower and then get in the bed. "Baby I saw Ranisha today." Ty says. Hm. This girl popping up again. "Oh." "And I realized after all this time like it's just... I can't describe it." I look over at him. "What you saying Ty?" "Look Aleah-" "If your about to say something stupid I don't want to hear it." I turn towards the floor and see him on one knee, "Nothing else compares to you baby girl. You're my baby, the mother of my children, and hopefully to the future Mrs. Jackson. My
life wasn't compete until you walked in it, well cried. All I want is one thing from you and that's forever. Will you marry me?"
