Mommy i don't feel good.! I heard Maddi's raspy voice on the side of me. It was 2:47 in the morning. I pulled the covers off of me and sat up.

What's wrong.? I asked turning on the light.

My tummy hurts. She whimpered out in pain. She probably just had a lil stomach ach from eating all those different foods.

Go back to your room.! I'll be there in a sec. I said getting up and walking her to her room. I went downstairs in the kitchen and made her some quick tea with honey and lemon. I put it in her kids thermo cup and picked the strawberry tums up. I cut the lights off and went back upstairs. I made my way into her room.

Take these. I said giving her the tums and she took them i gave her the tea and she drunk it. I swear a mothers work is never done. I tucked her back in and cut the light off and layed beside her rubbing her silky hair. back. She feel asleep instantly. I got up quietly and closes her room door. Zion was coming up the stairs. Lately he been doing the most. Like coming home late nights or leaving late night maybe not coming home at all. A police chase like are you serious.? Something was going on that i aint know about. I rolled my eyes at him and kept walking.

London i aint got time for the attitude.

Don't nobody got no attitude Zion im tired damn you always comin in the house starting some shit. I aint got time so if thats what you gone do than go in one of the guess rooms.

Whatever.!

I got in the covers and he went to our bathroom to take a shower. I couldn't even go back to sleep because the baby was up and moving now. I could tell this was gone be a long night.

THE NEXT MORNING......

I got up early to make breakfast for the whole house. Zion came and wrapped his arms around my waist. I moved him off of me and he stood back on the counter.

So you gone act funny? He asked looking at his phone.

Nobodies acting funny.

Why toy just push me off you.?

Im tired and im cooking.

Man whatever i can't wait till July this pregnancy shit make you act crazy and funny as hell.

My pregnancy doesn't have no anything to do with this. First of all my hormones are all over the place and you start acting funny towards me. You come home whenever you feel sometimes not at all. You do dumb shit like a fuckin police chase. What happened if you would of gotten arrested and went to jail.?

Im not going to jail London. I got shit to do i don't be out here fuckin around on you i be working.

Working doing what.? I asked cutting him off.

Sellin drugs ight. I gotta support our family some way.

Thats the most dumbest shit i have ever come out your mouth. Look around you Zion we live in this big ass beautiful house.! You have millions of dollars waiting on you. You rather sell drugs than go do something you love as in playing pro ball. We dont live in the hood no more, where not broke or struggling to work for money to pay bills. We own this house our bills are paid for years so i don't understand.

And you wont.! He said before walking away. I shook my head and sat at the table. I started to eat my food. I mad fish, eggs, and cheese grits with fresh seasonal fruit, and orange juice. I put some hot sauce on my fish and went to town. I swear it was a good thing i knew how too cook.! I be hungry as fuck.! I finished up just as everybody was coming down for breakfast. I cleaned up and went upstairs to shower and get dress than wake maddi up and get her dress and downstairs for breakfast.

GoodMorning mommy.! Maddie said as i opened her room door.

GoodMorning Cakes.! I said picking her up. How your tummy feel.?

Its all better thank you.! She said as she hugged my neck. I kissed her cheek.

Your welcome, go get in the bath so i could get your clothes ready. I said as i got up and went into her closet. I picked out these cute nude colored leggins and a long jean dress with her nude and glitter slippers. I put her things on her bed and went to check on her. She was bathing fine so i went to my room to see my phone was ringing. It was from an unknown number. It could only be one person.

Hello. I said softly.

You thought you could run from me London.?! He laughed.

Could you leave me alone.! I said threw my tears.

No bitch i would never. That bitch ass nigga you sleep with every night gone die watch.! That pretty little daughter should of been mine.! Both the babies should of been mine. Watch you better keep her close. I will pick everyone off 1 by 1 like you left my heart black and cold how yours gone be.!!!!! He said before hanging up.

I threw my phone across the room.
And broke down crying. I was scared as hell. How the hell did he find me.
