Milan
A few weeks later........
"Baby grab Armani and let's go!" I yell. Aliyah is in the hospital the baby is on the way and we have to fly to get there at a decent time. "I'm coming baby calm down." I grab Prince pacifier and put it in his mouth.
We finally make it to the airport. "Bae I was just thinking where the hell did or maybe I should ask when the hell did Angel steal money?" I ask as we sit and waiting for our plane to arrive. "Shit I let her and Jerry roam through our house freely I don't know. It could've been when I had Jerry moving money from the warehouse safe to ours. I need to start keeping better track with how much we got."
I shake my head agreeing with him. "I can't believe Amber and Micah knows each other." He says. "I know right." He opens his mouth but then closes it. "Aye so when Amber dropped the money off she said thank you. Was she plotting against Angel or something?" I laugh, "Bae this is going to sound so fucked up but she's the one who I had working for me. How did you think I knew where Angel would be."
"You sneaky as hell Milan." I shrug my shoulder, "When your the daughter of Santiago sneakiness in your blood. I only use it when I really feel like I need it."
We get on the plane and settled in. This is much nice than the Jet August wanted. Armani is entertained with her father keys and Prince is just looking around. He doesn't talk a lot at all. He's going to be the quiet one, Armani on the other hand is going to be loud and very talkative. Armani is walking and Prince isn't too far behind her.
"Prince August." He looks up at me. "Hey." I say smiling at him. He makes some baby noises. "Uhm mhm." I say agreeing with whatever he may be saying. "Ohhh baby so I think we should get a dog." I say. I look over and August is knocked out. The plane hasn't even took off yet and my poor baby is gone.
We land in Indiana and rush over to the hospital. As soon as we get off the elevator we see Chris in the hallway. "Y'all made it just in time! They bout to take her back to and perform a C-section, it's something with her blood, I don't know some shit like that." He's so nervous. "Chris breathe." August laughs, "You gone do fine bruh."
"Omg thank you guys for coming." We walk into the room after they get her settled in. She delivered a healthy 6 pounds, 5 ounces, 20.5 inches long baby boy. "Girl you ain't tired? Your looking happy as hell right now." I ask. She smiles, "Don't let this smile fool you. I am exhausted girl." We laugh, "Aww. Look at him.. Prince you have a lil cousin to play with now."
August phones rings so he steps out. Latesha walks in looking like a blimp has been stuffed under her shirt. "Well don't have to guess what y'all been doing." Chris says. We all laugh. "Yes you guys were expecting." Trey says. "Congrats to you and Chris." Latesha says out of breath. "I'm so tired y'all." She says. "Baby we took the elevator." Trey says. "Nigga.-.. You better happy my niece and nephews in the room." She snaps.
"Milan you next." Aliyah says. "Girl no hell. Them two it. I can't do it anymore." I say. August walks back in. "Baby I hate to cut this visit short but we need to get back." I look at him. "I got some business I need to finish up." He adds. "Baby we literally just got here." He sighs, "Well y'all stay here and then I'll fly back out in a day or two and then we'll leave out together."
"Just a day?" I ask. "Maybe two I don't know." He says. I groan, "Okay." I hate the thought of him being alone. "Micah is meeting me at the airport. I'm not going to be alone." I smile at him reading my mind like that. "Alright. Be careful baby. Please." He kisses me. "I will thug. Congrats bro, sis. I'll see y'all in a day or so. Whats up Trey and Tesha?... Damn nigga y'all don't stop do ya?" We all laugh. August kisses Prince forehead and then walks over to Armani. "Give daddy a hug." They hug. "If you good when I get back I'll buy you some dolls." Armani loves baby dolls although she's still a baby herself. He kisses me again and then leaves out the door.
We make it to Chris and Aaliyah's house after spending the day at the hospital. "Here's our guest room. We have an extra bassinet if you Prince to sleep in it." Chris says cutting the light on. It's nice as hell. "Thank you I will definitely take it." He lays Armani on the bed. She had a nice bottle and is knocked out. Prince isn't too far behind her, he had his bottle in the car. "Okay I'll bring it in shortly." He leaves out. I sit on the bed and pull out my phone to call my husband.
"What's up baby?" He answers. "Did you make it back? You ain't bothered to call me." I fuss. "I'm sorry baby yeah. Me and Micah just left his crib we headed to get something to eat." He says. "What y'all about to go eat?" I ask. "Probably some Mexican food."
"Oh okay."
"Where y'all at?"
"We just got back to the house from the hospital."
"Where my babies at?"
"Armani sleep and Prince is right here almost sleep."
"Oh alright. Miss me already?"
I laugh, "I do."
He chuckles, "I miss you too baby... We bout to get in his convertible baby. Let me call you back."
"Okay did y'all go do what y'all needed to do?"
"Nah not yet. We gone do that once we finish eating." He says.
"Okay baby. Be safe. I love you."
"I love you too baby."
We hang up. Chris brings the bassinet in. "Thanks." I say. "No problem. If you need anything we're down the hall." Chris says. "Alright." He shuts my door. I bathe Prince before he's knocked all the way out for the night. Armani is lost cause at this point. I'll bathe her in the morning.
Once the kids are sleep I shower myself. After I'm dressed I feel the effects of walking up so early. I get under the covers.
I wake up in a cold sweat. I walk into the bathroom and run some water over my face. The sun shines through the window. I walk out into the hall to grab another rag. "Your up early." Chris says with his gym bag. "Yeah. You leaving?"
"Yeah got training for a few hours and then I'll be back."
"Oh okay. Have fun."
He laughs, "Sure."
I get back in bed and start feeling funny. Something isn't right. I get up. I walk into the bathroom and dig through the cabinet.
"Damn." I look down at the stick and see the two lines staring back at my ass. "Fuck." I mumble. I'm going to kill August. I walk into room and grab my phone. I see I have two messages from August.
It's some shit I didn't get to tell you but you're about to find out in due time. Remember the name Kertury Santino.
I love you more than life itself Milan, never forget that shit. Tell Prince and Princess I love them.
I call his number but nothing. Calm down Milan. Don't panic. I call Micah phone and get no response. I inhale and exhale slowly. It's a knock on the door. I swear I'm about to punch his ass for playing too damn much! I go down the stairs. I open the door expecting to see August but it's not him.
It's an officer. "Milan?" He asks. He looks familiar. "Who wants to know?" I ask. "I'm Milo. Santiago was my father." It all clicks but why is he here? Oh shit the money. "Why are you here?" I ask getting defensive. "I hate we have to meet under these circumstances....." He takes his hat off. My heart drops, tears instantly fill my eyes, and my cheeks get hot. "August and Micah are gone."
