Living The Life

Chapter 35

Riah P.O.V

"Where is my baby? Something's wrong, I can feel it!" I said to Simone. "Upstairs with Layla and the baby" Simone said playing with the twins. "Baby?" I asked confused. "You didn't know? Layla got pregnant that's why her real parents came and got her. But we didn't know the baby was Rian's" Simone rambled. "Get the fuck outta here! I'm punching both of them in the face!" I said heading for the steps. "Wait, that's not why he sad! Maria came over her tripping, turns out she pregnant with Kortez baby" Simone said. My heart dropped, Rian was so excited about his little girl. "Imma beat her ass after she drop" I growled automatically getting mad. I ran up the stairs and walked in the room. Rian and the baby were knocked out on his bed, Layla was sitting on my old bed flipping through the channels. I walked up to her and pinched her. "Owwww, Riah what's yo problem?" she whispered. "You didn't tell me about the baby or that he was Rian's for that matter" I whispered back. "I didn't tell nobody cause I wasn't sure" she said smacking my arm. "Y'all can't whisper worth shit" Rian said rubbing his hands across his face.

The more I read the text messages Maria sent, the less I cared about her being pregnant. "I just wanna go beat the hell out of her!" I screamed. Jeremy smiled showing his little teeth. "Hey cutie" I said. "Hey cutie" Jeremy repeated. "I can't wait until Serenity and Mahogany meet him" I said. "I can't wait to meet them" Layla said

Simone P.O.V

"Damon where you going?" I asked when he got out the shower. "I gotta make a play, why wassup?" he asked.
I shook my head and watched Damoni suck on Damion's fingers. They both looked at each other and burst out laughing. Me and Damon laughed. "Man what you think they be saying?" Damon asked putting his clothes on. "Whatever it is it must be funny" I said. Damon sat on the bed and kissed the boys. "Daddy men getting grown" he said. They looked at him and showed all gums. "I'm soo glad they happy babies" I said. "Shit me too! Thank God for three happy babies" Damon said seriously. "Why you ain't been getting her?" I asked. "Candace people be having her every time I call to get her" Damon said.

When Damon left I called Shaneka over. I hadn't talked to her in a minute. After the first ring it went to voicemail and she walked into my room. "Where the hell you been how?" I yelled. "I got a lot of shit to tell you boo!" Shaneka said. She wasn't acting her usual ghetto self so I knew it was serious. I put Damon and Damoni in they're swings and gave her my undivided attention.

By the time Shaneka finished telling me about Malcolm's foul ass I was in tears. I hated the fact she'd been through that! "Where's Chase?" I asked. "He took him back to Chicago" Shaneka said and then burst back out crying. I shook my head, I knew Malcolm wouldn't lay a finger on Chase but the only reason he took him back is to hurt Shaneka. Her phone started ringing and she stepped out the room. I couldn't help but wonder why the hell Mario was answering a back page add though. He definitely could gave his way with more than half the women in New York so it didn't make sense. "Simone he wants me to meet him, he's got Chase" Shaneka said popping her head back in the room. I jumped up like it was a ransom or something. Tell Riah I'll be right back and the boys are in here sleep, I'll meet you in the car" I said. I threw on a Jordan jumpsuit with my all black timbs. Everybody knew when you throw on the timbs its about to go down!

Shaneka was still crying so she let me drive. "We bouta get Chase and if that nigga act stupid we gone jump his dumb ass, Mario meeting us there" I said hype. Shaneka dried her tears and prepared herself just in case we had to fight. When we pulled up Malcolm was sitting on the hood of his car holding a sleeping Chase. Three chicks we knew from school surrounded him. "So he was gone have them jump you huh?" I asked more to myself. Shaneka went from sad to angry in an instant. Shaneka tightened up the lace on her timbs as I threw the car in park. Mario pulled up with Trina just as we were getting out.

"This the bitch Malcolm?" the girl Angela asked. Before Malcolm could answer we popped of on them. Trina hopped out and grabbed the third girl before she could jump in on the fight. Malcolm sat back and rocked Chase and watched amused. "This some hoe ass shit bruh!" Mario barked at him. "Mind ya business partna that's my hoe" Malcolm growled back. "Nigga she family! And that's the mother of yo child not some dawg ass bitch from the street!" Mario yelled walking up. The girl I was fighting broke free and backed away. I grabbed the bitch on top of Trina and we tag teamed her ass. Shaneka didn't need not a ounce of assistance. She was beating Angela ass like we were back in high school. Malcolm handed Chase to Mario and pulled Shaneka off her. "I said enough, damn Shaneka you got that!" Malcolm yelled snatching her up. I walked up on Malcolm but Mario stopped me and gave me Chase. I took him to my car and turned the heat on. It was surprising he was still asleep. "What the fuck I ever do to you? Why you treat me like this? I love you Malcolm but you act like you can't fucking see that!" Shaneka screamed as she began to throw punches. Malcolm fell into the car, unable to stop her blows. After Mario put Trina in the car we pulled Shaneka off Malcolm. For her to be so little she had strength like the hulk.

Malcolm looked dumbfounded as he wiped blood from his mouth. "Let's go!" he barked at his three little sidekicks and they pulled off. Shaneka straightened up. "Fuck that, I'm done crying! I got my son" Shaneka said getting in the car. I couldn't imagine what was going through her head. We dropped Chase off to Nana and then headed to the bar. Shaneka always had fake I.D's on deck so it was no problem. "I'm soo done for real this time!" Shaneka said. I just listened because I said that a million times about Damon and I was still here. I could tell she was fed up but Malcolm was all she knew.

Courtney P.O.V

Trap waited patiently next to me at court to hear the results of the DNA test. The past few days had been real shaky. Trap was stressed about the result on top of being frustrated that he couldn't walk. Trayvon slept peacefully in his car seat completely oblivious to anything that was going on. "We gone get straight to the point, I'm not going to draw out the process any longer" the judge said reading the papers from both sets of results. "Travis, Trayvon is your son" he said looking at us over his glasses. Trap grabbed my hand as a smile crept over his face. "I'm sorry Mr. Ryan" the judge said before getting up and dismissing us. "Congrats my nigga" Pac said shaking up with Trap. Trap nodded and then put Trayvon's car seat on his lap. I pushed him out of the court room and to Money's car. Money helped me get him in the passenger seat and we drove off. "Soooo?" Money asked looking at Trap. "I ain't spazzing so you know he mine!" Trap said grinning. I looked over at Trayvon and he smiled. Everything was looking up for us.
