Daniel.

"First flight back to Atlanta! Let's put a move on it. Gotta get home to wifey." Christopher shouted. The first leg of the tour is finally over and I can get some time to relax now. Performing and doing meet and greets are wonderful but, it does tend to tire me out a lot. Now that's all over for a while, I get to focus on my personal life.

I followed my crew and boarded the plane. I sat down and looked out at the sky as the plane took off, drifting into my thoughts. Soon as this plane lands I know reality is going to hit me like a bitch. Life isn't as rough as it used to be though, luckily. Trying to raise a child at seventeen years old isn't the smartest move, especially when your girl is sixteen with strict parents who hate your guts. Things used to so terrible but, thankfully it's somewhat clearing up.

Now I'm twenty years old and she's nineteen. Although we can both provide for Kaycee, I chose to be the one providing for us that way she can stay home and continue going to school. That worked for a few years until I got wrapped up in the life of fame. I won't deny that I'm barely home and when I am home, I just want to relax and not do nothing. The way I view my life is going to have to change when this new baby comes though.

10:00AM.

"Yo', Digg! Get up man, unless you wanna be staying on this plane." Christopher's voice echoed through my ears. I got up not realizing that I even fell asleep. I walked off the plane and into the airport only to be greeted by three of my body guards. I walked in between them through the airport and out the doors to my ride. I shook my head and chuckled once I seen who was picking me up.

"BESTFRIEND!" Her voice was the first thing I heard as I walked over to her embracing her into a hug. We both pulled away and got into her car. "How was the tour?!" She asked as she started the car back up.

"It was great, as usual. How Zonnique doin'? I ain't speak to her half the tour unfortunately."

She took her eyes off the road for second and gave me that death look. "Wait, wait. So you haven't talked to your baby mama for some months now?! What the hell, Daniel."

I knew this was coming and I was prepared for her to yell at me. "I was busy, Bahja. Rehearsals, studio, meet and greets and performing took up so much of my time."

"And? That's not a fucking excuse. She's carrying your baby once again and you wanna act like you couldn't even call her!"

I sighed and looked out the window at the trees we passed by. "You know I would've called her if I had the chance."

"Nope. I don't know anything as of now all that I know is you better fix shit." She shook her head as we came to a stop light. "And you have to fix this cheating situation, I don't have the right words to say to her about it."

"What cheating situation? I been on the grind but there was NO cheating involved."

"Don't lie to me, Daniel."

"Alright, alright. There was a lil shawty at the club the other night and she was bomb as shit!" I chuckled. "So, I took her home and spent the night there if you know what I mean."

I could've sworn I was seeing stars after she slapped me and continued driving like it was nothing. "What the hell, Bahja?! Damn."

"YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, WHO HAD YOUR CHILD AND IS PREGNANT AGAIN WITH YOUR CHILD! ARE YOU STUPID?!" She yelled releasing all that anger I just caused upon her. "You know TMZ got your dumbass caught? I swear you so fucking stupid at times."

Fuck my life. I put my head in my hands knowing it was about to be WW3 soon as I get in that house. "You know what? It's all good 'cause I got a plan. I'll just tell her she was one of my cousins and I just happened to spot her in the club so, I crashed at her house for the night."

"I'm seriously going to pray for you, my son."

10:30AM.

We pulled up to my house and I grabbed my bags out of the backseat. "Alright, Bahj. Thanks for the ride, see you later." I said and she threw up the peace sign in return. I watched as she drove off and then I walked up to the front door, unlocking it and walking in. I sat my bags down in the corner and closed the door behind me.

"Baby! I'm home." I shouted awaiting her answer. I walked up the steps and walked down the hall into our bedroom. As I expected she was knocked out, that gives me time to make her breakfast so I could work things out. Being careful not to wake her I slipped my shoes off and took off my shirt. I walked out of our bedroom and back downstairs into the kitchen.

Ain't nothing but healthy foods in this household and I made sure of that. Zonnique often tried brining candy and other sugary snacks in here but, they all just end up in the trash. Time to get to work on this breakfast.

11:50AM.

French Toast, Eggs, Organic waffles and apple juice was for breakfast. I sat everything nice and neat down on the table as I heard her footsteps start to come downstairs. Her belly was the first thing I seen come around the corner, I watched her wobble into the kitchen and look at me. Her eyes were puffy and red, which indicated she had been crying. "What's wrong babe?" I asked walking over to her and helping her sit down.

"I thought you wouldn't be home until tonight or some weeks from now. Or maybe you would be with whoever that other girl is."

I sat down beside her and rubbed her hand. "Zonnique, don't be upset. That girl was my cousin and I was drunk that night so I decided to crash at her house. You know I wouldn't cheat on you."

She sighed of relief and nodded. "Oh. I shouldn't just called and asked you about it before assuming that you were cheating."

"It's okay." I chuckled. "You ain't know but, today is all about you. We can stay in and watch movies or go shopping, whatever you like."

"I wanna stay in, my feet are killing me and Kaycee is at my moms house so we have the house to ourselves."

I nodded. "Sounds like a plan. First you gotta eat then we can start being lazy again."

9:30PM.

The entire day we've just laid in bed and ate pizza while watching movies. This is the most time I've spent with her and it felt so great. I know I got to get my act together, she doesn't deserve the shit I do behind her back.
