I got to Taj's house after me and Masiah finished shopping. I was worried because the sound in Ciara's voice told me that something was wrong but she refused to tell me over the phone.

"What you think it is?" Masiah asked as we go to the door and I shrugged. He knocked twice and a mad looking Taj opened the door.

"Wassup?" He said clapping up Masiah and hugging me. He stepped to the side and we walked in and walked towards the living room.

I seen Ciara rocking Dani and I frowned once I saw the tear stains on her face.

"Wassup Ciara?" Masiah said sensing that something was wrong and she looked up at me and frowned.

"Sit down."

"Where's Joy?" I asked assuming something was wrong with her since we were missing her presence. Taj sucked his teeth.

"Man just sit down." He said sternly.

"No tell me what's wrong." I said becoming angry that no one was telling me anything.

"Baby calm down." I looked at Masiah. The look he gave me told me I better calm my ass down and sit down and that's what I did.

"Jodi's out of jail." Ciara said catching me off guard and my heart dropped.

"H-how do you know."

"Terrance called me and he told me. They're out for us Jayde."

"They not out for shit. I'm not letting that nigga do no more damage fuck that." I looked at Masiah then Taj then Ciara letting a tear slip out of my glossy eyes.

"I'm pregnant Taj. I have a sonon the way this shit isn't easy anymore it's not just me and Ciara anymore. I have a family and so does she they're not only after us anymore."

"I already got some niggas out in Miami on the shit. You not my cousin you my sister and I'm not gonna let that shit happen again and Ciara family too. Y'all good yall just gotta lay low for a while until the nigga is 6 feet under."

"Don't let them hurt us anymore. I finally got away and the fear and stress is just Deja vu. I don't care about what happens to me I just need to make sure my baby is good."

I sat at the lounge tables by my pool going over shit with Terrance. I talked to my lil nigga Kadai and he told me exactly what I needed to know. I still needed to know where she laid her head but she was a dumbass to think I wouldn't know that she ran her black ass back to Atlanta with her bitch ass cousin.

"So when we gon start making moves I'm tired of this bitch breathing." Terrance said with jaws clenched referring to Ciara.

"We gonna go up there after I handle shit down here and make sure shit good. I called Jayde though but her number was changed at least she was smarter than your bitch." I said chuckling and he sucked his teeth.

"That was my bitch... She bad as fuck though but she a dumb ass so she gonna pay for it. I might fuck before I kill her ass." I shook my head and ran my tongue across my bottom lip.

This nigga Terrance was crazy. It was only a matter of time before I got rid of his looney ass too. I was tired of his crazy ass stressing over a bitch who snitched on him. At least my baby was actually mine and I knew she'd remember that as soon as she saw me in flesh and that would be real soon.

Sammie

"Good job Samuel!" I heard my coach yell as I made the last shot in our practice game. Basketball was really my whole life and I knew this was what I wanted to do after I went off to college. After this year all my hard work would prove to be worth it.

I grabbed my face towel from the gymnasium bench and wiped my face clapping up my coach in the process.

"I see you going places boy. You just got here a few months ago and you already got scouts with their eyes on you. Stay focused son and keep up the good work." I nodded smiling and walked into the locker room. After taking a quick shower I grabbed my belongings and made my way out the school and to the front.

I squinted my eyes seeing someone leaning against my car and I was about to snap until I seen the long hair, curvy body and darkskin. My baby.

"Wassup beautiful." I said kissing her cheek and she shook her head like she had been snapped out of a daze.

"Sammie." She said lowly and I frowned realizing that her eyes were blood shot red and her once vibrant face was now dull and scared.

"What's wrong? You good?" I said placing both hands on her face turning her head seeing if she had any bruises or a sign on what was wrong with her.

"Sammie I'm so sorry." She whispered as tears began to run down her cheek and I scrunched up my face wiping her tears away.

"Trinity wa-wassup?"

"I'm pregnant." She said and I stepped back in shock.

"No don't do that...." She said quickly referring to me backing up.

"I knew this would happen." She cried.

"I knew you would back out if some shit like this happened. You have so much going for you and I knew you wouldn't want me anymore after I told you. I don't wanna ruin what you have going so I'm gonna take care of it...I just thought I'd let you know." She said about to walk away before I stopped her.

"Baby I'm not gonna leave you."

"You're not?" I shook my head.

"I put myself inside you and I took something so precious from you and I don't want you to regret that. I want you to keep it. We were adults when we laid down so we gotta be adults and handle this but the right way. I love you." She sniffles pulling me into a hug wrapping her arms around my torso.

"I love you so much." She said crying and I let a tear fall myself and kissed her forehead.

"I love you more."
