Breathe Me In (fanfiction)

6. Reunions

I spent two weeks in Detroit producing that one song for Sean and finishing it up with Jay and Donny. We'd completely worked out the song and they'd decided to title it Play No Games.

We also got another person to the feature it. It was an artist that went by the name of Ty Dolla Sign. Of course I knew who he was before Sean introduced us.

He was a pretty cool guy to work with so that was great. What I hated more than anything was when I had to work with someone that was difficult.

Anyways, after my work was done I found myself in an airport in Detroit, seated in the VIP section with Chris next to me on his phone arguing with Karreuche. He wanted to see me off even though I'd said it wasn't necessary.

"Fuck! I'll be back in two days, Karreuche. I already told you that. Don't know why you always tripping off of stupid shit" he muttered angrily, his southern accent thick.

He paused, listening to her reply. I fiddled with some my Ipad screen, playing Angry Birds. I was starting to get annoyed that I couldn't get past the level I was on.

"I'm not even fucking her tho! We aren't even on that type of shit. How many times I tell you not to listen to media bullshit?! You know what, call me back when you outta ya feelings cause I'm through with this shit!" I heard Chris shout, breaking my attention off the game and causing me to lose the game.

I sighed and leaned back in my seat, "She'll cool down, Chris. Just give her some time. Besides, you still need to tell her about ya baby"

"I know, man" he snapped, sitting back. I arched an eyebrow and looked him up and down.

"You better watch your tone, talking to me like that. Besides, I should be the pissed one" I huffed, rolling my eyes.

"What the fuck are you talking about you should be pissed?" he asked, glaring at me, his temper making him mad at everything.

I crossed my arms and pouted, "You made me lose my game. Bruh, I almost won level 30 on Angry Birds but noooo...."

He stared at me like I was crazy and I stared back, silently daring him to say something back. As the seconds passed by, his lips slowly started to quirk up. After that, he started to chuckle and then the chuckle turned into full-blown laughter that I joined in.

"Girl, you crazy" he laughed, shaking his head. I shrugged, laughing to myself.

"What? I had to do it. You can't be walking out of here angry and shit. I knew you'd probably knock out a reporter and get yourself into some other shit you don't need to be dealing with right now" I replied.

"Thank you" he said after the laughter had died down and we sat in comfortable silence.

I quirked an eyebrow, "For?" I said slowly, unsure of what he was talking about.

"For looking out for me and calming me down. You're right, if I had left here with my shitty mood I would've gotten into some more fucked up shit that I can't deal with right now" he sighed, stretching his legs out in front of him. His eyes were on the ceiling as he thought.

"When I say I gotchu, I mean that. Whenever you need me, just call" I told him. He looked at me then, a smirk appearing on his face.

"You sure you ain't in love with me?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and slapped his thigh.

"Shut the fuck up" I retorted.

************************

My plane arrived and I was taken to first class (thanks to Chris). I made it back into LA a couple hours later and as soon as I got to baggage claim I was greeted by my family.

I saw everyone but my eyes zeroed in on Prince, who was moving around in Mama B's arms, crying loudly with a red face. I ran to her and said a quick hello before grabbing my son. I held him to close to my chest, happiness and relief flowing through me at having my baby with me again. I closed my eyes, leaning my head against his with a smile on my face.

In just a few seconds, his wailing quited downed to sobs and then to slight hiccups before he'd completely stopped crying. I pulled him back to look him over, my eyes trying to see if anything had changed since I last saw him.

It'd been only two weeks since I saw him but alot could happen developmentally in that time. Thankfully, nothing had really changed that I could see.

"Hi baby" I smiled, wiping his cheeks. He cooed up at me, his fingers tightly grasping onto my thumb.

"Soooo...you just gonna ignore the rest of us standing here or what?" Tylin's broke the moment.

A loud slap followed by Katara and Darius's laughter could be heard, making me chuckle.

"Mama B that hurt!" Tylin grumbled, rubbing the back of his head.

"You know better than to interrupt a mother reuniting with her baby!" Mama B glared at him, hands on her hips.

"It's alright, Mama B. Hi everybody" I laughed, greeting everyone.

I gave hugs after that, still holding onto Prince. He was tightly grasping onto my shirt anyways so I wouldn't have been able to set him down in the stroller Mama B brought.

After that, we got my stuff and piled into Darius's BMW.
