"They're ride or die so what's 17 years apart?"
•
When you meet the love of your life at 15 growing up in the streets of West Philly you don't always do right by your family.
Selling dope, moving bodies , selling keys is the only way to stay alive...
"Mom" I hear my youngest call. I look up to see him crying covered from head to toe in blood.
"No" I murmur to myself. This can't be happening. I get up from my seat as fast as I can and wrap my arms around my son.
"Ma, they said they were losing her. What does that even mean" keem sobs through winded breaths.
"Honey" I say crying along with him. "Tiana's fine, she'll be fine" I tell him not sure if I'm lying or not.
"A girl then a boy mom. I can't do this on my own she has to be fine" he adds.
"She will be" Dre says stepping up.
"We don't know that" keem mumbles into my shoulder crying harder than ever.
"We do because god is watching her keem and he knows you need Tiana to teach you how to change a dipper" I joke trying to lighten the mood, my two grandchildren were just born we shouldn't be crying.
"Your right mom god will protect her and your babies keem" dre adds.
"He will" keem says to himself. "The babies. My babies were just born I should go back in there" he pulls himself off my shoulder then wipes his eyes. "Mom will you come with me?"
"Of course my baby" I say wiping my own tears. I need something to lighten my day.
We walk back to the room where the baby's are at in silence but the minute I see all the innocent souls I can't help the smile that creeps across my face.
"Look ma" keem says pointing at two babies to the right of me. They're tightly wrapped laying next to each other.

LYON
Those four letters are printed on their name tag, no first name just a last name.
I smile but I can't help the tears brimming my eyes.
They're Lyons. That'll bring them pain and happiness.
Pain they won't deserve at all.
Andre POV
I'm hiding behind the door as I wait for mac.
I'm beyond pissed at how out of hand this situation has become. My dad is still missing. Tiana and Skye were attacked purely because their the weakest links. Now my twin nephew and niece may have to grow up without a mother all because of some shit my dad did years ago.
I don't even know what exactly happened anyways because my mom won't say shit about this Jordan guy so I'm gonna find everything out myself even if I have to beat it out of mac's punk ass.
