Money P.O.V

"Damon I think you need to go drop Destiny off this time" Simone said. I looked at her and kept playing the game, I had been having her pick and drop Destiny off every since she told me she wanted to move on. I really wasn't ready to let her go, so I just distanced myself. "Nah, I rather not have a run in with her nigga" I said. "Money, stop being so damn stubborn! I got something to do, plus I really think you should drop your daughter off" Simone stressed. "Why you forcing it Simone damn!" I snapped grabbing my keys and Destiny. I don't know why the hell Simone kept testing me, it's like she asking me to go over there and fuck Candace! "I texted her and told her I'm on my way" Simone called after me.

When I pulled up the nigga was leaving. He mugged the fuck out of me, I laughed. I got out the car and knocked on the door. Candace opened the door and I instantly got mad. "What the fuck happened to yo eye?" I screamed. Candace turned her head and walked away. I put Destiny car seat in the living room and grabbed Candace's arm. "Candace" I said turning her towards me. I examined her eye and she burst out crying. "Why you letting this nigga do this to you?" I asked softening my voice. "I don't know, Money I'm not happy!" Candace sobbed. I led her to the room and turned the shower on. I went back into the living room and told Diamond to come pick Destiny up. I waited in the living room until she got here. "Where Candace at and why she been ignoring me?" she asked with a slight attitude. Candace walked out the room. Diamond's mouth dropped when she seen Candace's face. "This why you been dodging me baby? Where that bitch nigga at? Imma cut his mafuckin dick off! He got us fucked up!!" Destiny screamed going from 0 to 100 real quick. "Let me handle this, just leave and take my car. Candace call that nigga over" I said as I began to roll up. Diamond grabbed my keys, Destiny, and left. I sparked soon as the hit the door. Candace called the nigga Russell and we waited.

I was in the bathroom hitting the bag when I heard the nigga knocking. I snorted the rest of my line and cleaned up the evidence. I turned the light out and just listened. "You ready to give up that ass?" I heard him ask. "Y-y-yeah" Candace stuttered breaking down. "I said I was sorry, I won't ever do that shit again!" Russell lied. That shit kind of got to me, I did the same thing to Simone yet I was here defending Candace for the same shit. "You damn right that's gone be yo last time!" I growled pointing my gun at his temple. He smirked, "Do you know who the fuck I am?" Russell asked me. "Naw nigga, do you know who the fuck I am?" I spat back. Russell threw his hands up and laughed. "Nigga move the fuck around, I'm talking to my woman" he growled. Before I knew it I hit him with the butt of my gun.

"Russell you gone kill him!" Candace screamed punching and kicking. I kept talking shit even though he was getting the best of me. Russell stood over me with his gun pointed in my face. "Pull the mafuckin trigger and put me out my misery" I spat smirking. I wiped blood from my mouth and stood up. I walked closer so the gun was right between my eyes. We stared each other down. "Please!" Candace screamed. "Go in the room Candace!" I yelled at her. My high was coming down. "You gone shoot or you gone stare nigga? But if you shoot, you better kill me! My mafuckin name ring bells in these streets, I'm Damon mafuckin Money Lewis" I stated proudly. Recognition flashed in his eyes. I smiled, blood dripped from my teeth. He pulled out his phone and told somebody he called Pops to come in. I just knew they was gone kill me, but I was ready. Hell we all gotta die one day! But when the man walked through the door my smile dropped. My heart started racing and I looked right into his soul. There stood a man I never expected to see ever again. My father...

"What the fuck is going on?" I growled as Russell lowered the gun. Don, my father, stared at me blankly. "Damon" he started. "I ain't got shit to say to you homie" I snapped looking him up and down. Russell resembled my father, just a younger version. "You lucky I recognized yo name or I would've killed yo ass bro" Russell said chuckling. "I ain't yo mafuckin brother and he ain't my damn daddy!" I spat staring them both down. "Rather you like it or not, I'm back now! And I'm trying to get my family back. You might be a no go but I know my princess Brea gone always love me" Don said. "Stay the hell away from my baby sister!" I growled. Russell and Don headed for the door. "See you around baby brother" Russell said laughing. "See you at Sunday Dinner" Don said. "Stay away from Candace!" I snapped at Russell. "I don't go behind family, I'm glad she ain't let me" he said smirking.

Jayriah P.O.V

"Rian where you going?" I asked following him like a lost puppy. "I gotta go to Maria doctor appointment" he said grabbing a jacket and his shoes. "Riah, when was you gone tell me?" Rian asked sitting on my bed and putting on his shoes. "What you talking about?" I asked playing dumb. "Jayriah come on now we share the same emotions, we got the same instincts, hell I know what you thinking right now!" Rian said laughing. "Cause I'm scared Rian" I said honestly. "That ain't gone make it go away" he said looking me in my eyes. "What you think dad gone say?" I asked. Rian shrugged, we got quiet then Courtney and Tara walked in. Rian took that as his que to leave. "If it make you feel better I'll tell him with you" Rian threw over his shoulder.

"Soooo wassup with you and AJ?" I asked Tara. She blushed and shrugged. "Oh you know, y'all was in this room FOREVER!" Courtney said as we all laughed. "He real cool, he said he wanna get to know me and take me out" Tara said trying to contain her excitement. I smiled, I didn't know that side of AJ but I didn't think he was lying to her. AJ was blunt about everything and he didn't care about hurting your feelings. "Well if he act up, we'll fuck him up for you" Courtney joked. We went downstairs in the den with the boys. Bonez motioned for me to meet him outside. When I went out my father and my mom were standing there. I looked at Bones and sighed. "When was you gone tell us?" my father asked me. I put my head down and shrugged. "Jayriah look at me when I'm talking to you" my father said sternly. I looked up as tears began to pour. "And what the tick were you thinking Bryan? She's 16" my father yelled. "I wasn't. That's why I wanted to come to you man to man and say I fucked up, but I can't tell you I regret my child cause I don't. I got hell of respect for you Jayson" Bonez said. "Bonez this my daughter we talking about, I really want to hurt you!" my father growled. "But I believe Jayriah would never forgive you for that and at least Bonez is stepping up. There ain't a doubt in my mind Riah gone be a great mother just like Simone!" my mom said speaking up for the first time. I smiled at her, that was the first time in a long time she put faith in me.

Bonez P.O.V

After Jayson threatened my life a million times about if I ever hurt his baby girl and grandchild, we finally had an understanding. I laid across Riah's bed half way sleep and half way listening to her, Courtney, and Tara talk. "Is AJ coming over today?" Tara asked. "I can have Trap call him" Courtney said pulling out her phone. I pulled Riah down next to me and whispered in her ear from behind. "I want you" I whispered licking her ear. "Y'all nasty, come on Tara" Courtney said hopping up and throwing a pillow at us. "Girl sit down, we ain't bouta do nothing and my daddy down stairs!" Riah laughed. "Well I'm about to go smoke" I said pushing her head and leaving out.

"Welcome to the family" Jeremy said passing me the blunt. I took a long drag and French inhaled. "Now I'm just ready for my lil one to get here" I  said. "Don't rush it! You need all the time you can get to prepare!" Mario said as I passed him the blunt. "Hell yeah!" AJ said. Money walked in the den and I jumped up. "The fuck happened to yo face?" I asked. "Long ass story! But Don back and he brought his son Russell" Damon said sitting down. "They call him Roulette?" Mario asked. Damon nodded. "Roulette yo brother?" Trap asked. "That nigga ain't shit to me!" Damon spat. "Fuck that nigga then" I said. I didn't know nothing about this nigga Russell, Roulette, or who ever the hell he was except he had a history of beating females up. Plus Damon like my mafuckin brother, we grew up together! Everybody got quiet. "Fuck all that, roll up! I know this ain't all y'all got in rotation" Money said.

Simone P.O.V

All the commotion woke me up. I looked over at the boys and they were still fast asleep. I walked down the hall to see AJ slip in Riah and Rian room. When I walked up I heard Tara laughing. I poked my head in and Riah smiled. "You been sleep all day!" she said. "When you have your baby you'll see" I said yawning. "We told dad" Riah said. I raised my eyebrow, "Anddddd?" I asked. "He told Bonez he should kill him, but mom came and said I'm going to be a good mother and I need Bonez to help me raise this baby" Riah said. I smiled a little remembering how things were before the drugs, back when my mom and dad were married and happy.

Soon as I walked in the den I saw Damon's face. "What happened?" I asked running over to him and touching a few cuts. He stood up and grabbed my hand, leading me out the den. "My dads back and remember the son I told you he had that's a year older than me?" he asked. I nodded, still a little upset by the way his face looked. "Well he the one that's been hitting on Candace, and we kind of got into it. No big deal, we got a understanding now" he shrugged. I shook my head, nothing's ever that easy!
