Liberty
Judiah's wails through the baby monitor wake me up at 2am. God, I just want to sleep. My breasts begin to ache at his cries and I slowly get up. I want to cry. Tremaine moves around and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I'll get him and bring him." He mumbles tiredly.

I sigh in relief,"Thank you, baby."

I lay back down on my side and wait for him to return with Ju. I listen through the baby monitor as Trey soothes Judiah. He comes back with a exhausted expression a couple seconds with a fussy Judiah in his arms.

"You changed him?" I ask.

"He wasn't wet. Just hungry." He says while laying him down next to me.

He fusses around next to me and scrunches up his face before letting out a wail. Judiah hasn't been letting us sleep at all. Always crying and shig. Judiah latches on hungrily to my breast and is quiet. Trey gets back into bed and turns off his lamp.

"Lemme know when you're done." He says.

"Okay." I reply with a yawn.

I hear Trey's soft snores a few seconds later. Judiah eats a lot much like his fat father. It's been two weeks since we left the hospital and Trey and I have been struggling. Trey is here to help since he's off for the summer, but the two of us don't seem to be enough.

Friends and relatives have been coming over to watch him for a few hours so Trey and I can get some sleep. I truly appreciate them for that because I don't know what we'd do without those couple of hours during the day.

A half hour later, Judiah is asleep at my breast. I leave Trey alone because I know it would suck to wake him. I carry Judiah back to his nursery, kiss him, and lay him in his crib. He has his daddy's pouty lips.

I return to the room, turn off the lights and get into bed. Trey is still asleep. I stare out the window until I feel my eyelids drooping. I jump up to the sound of something banging downstair an hour later.

I push Trey awake.

"Hm?" He mumbles.

"Wake up!" I whisper.

"What?" He replies groggily while turning to me.

"I heard something downstairs...." I say.

He sighs and gets up. He grabs the bat from under the bed. My heart begins to pound. Judiah.

"Stay here." He commands.

He walks out the door and I leave to go check on Judiah. The house is quiet as Trey wanders downstairs. Judiah is fast asleep in his crib, and I let out a little sigh of relief. Suddenly, someone's arm grabs me from behind then covers my mouth as I scream.

"Hush, I'm not gonna hurt you." He whispers with his hot breath against my ear.

I practically piss myself. Where the fxck is Trey. I attempt to scream his name but I can't. The man's hand encircles my stomach then moves up to my swollen breasts. I squirm trying to free myself as he squeezes my boobs. Tears spring out of my eyes.

He turns me around and I'm faced with a masked man.

"I don't want to hurt you or your baby."

I freeze,"What do you want?"

He smiles and I shiver in fear. I hear Trey's footsteps coming up the stairs and he lets me go.

"Keep your eyes open for the signs." He says before walking to the window and jumping out. I quickly run to the window to lock and close the blinds.

Trey comes in holding the bat with a smile. When he see my face, he rushes over to me.

"What's wrong? It's like you seen a ghost or something. There's nothing downstairs." He says while grabbing me.

I fall into his arms, weak with terror. I tremble in aftershock.

"And you're leaking." He says noticing the wet spots on my shirt,"Say something Liberty."

"Someone is really after us." I spit out.

He gives me a confused look.

"We have to go. Now." I say.
