I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day. I been wanting a kid for a while. Baby fever been hitting me since I was 19. I don't know why but I've always wanted a mini me.

I called and told my aunts and everything to tell them the good news. I tried calling up to the facility my moms at but she denied my call. I've been trying to work my money so I have enough to pay for everything. Most of the time it goes to the bills for the house, and whatever I have left goes towards food or the increasing bill that is left from my mom's in home care.

They keep charging me weekly interest.

It's like they're trying to make it hard for me to not pay them back.

I've been trying to work out a payment plan with the insurance company but they keep saying they can't do nothing for me. Even though I just payed the $235 renewal fee.

I'm scheduled to have a meeting with the general manger of the NBA to get all my official statements that I belong to the team so I can get my money. But now that Unique is pregnant, I really need this money to take care of out baby's needs when it gets here.

"Has anyone seen Ms. Calvin?" Coach walked onto the plane with his clipboard. Everybody looked around and shook their heads. "Her professor from her college is currently on another flight to New York to evaluate her interactions with the team. Someone please get a hold of her please". He walked off the plane and Iman pulled his phone out.

I put a arm around Unique as she slept. It's almost six in the morning and we're heading to New York for the game today. Coach invited Unique to come with us as a little congratulations gift.

"She's not answering the phone. I'll try calling her again". Iman got up and headed for the back of the jet. 

"I'll text her if she's not answering her phone". Mo said from behind me.

She think she gone talk to me any kind of way? Oh she must have the game fucked up.

"You must've forgot who you were fuckin with. Wake your ass up". Her head fell forward. "You wearing my patients thin bitcb". I took the flowers from the vase that rested on the kitchen counter and splashed the water in her face. The blood ran down her face faster as the water wet her skin.

"Wake up!" She laid still. I pressed my index and middle finger to her neck and felt nothing. "You stupid bitch!" I pushed the chair over and she rolled off.

I grabbed my phone and dialed my homie Grace's number.

"What's up?"

"I need a favor".
