Solange POV

"Well is she coming?" mama asked.
"She said she would, and she's bringing her husband and daughter." Angie told us.
"Why can't we just tell him we're her family?" Andre asked for the millionth time.
"Because she told him we're dead." I said.
"But I already met Blue and she knows who I am."
"Giselle already told her to keep the secret. She has her mama's genes so she should be good in that department."
"Piaget!" my mom said.
"What? It's the truth."
"When she comes I want you two to respect her wishes. I'm finally meeting my other granchild and other son-in-law. Speaking of, how is Alana?"
"She good mommy. Growing everyday."
"Well Mario said that the meeting is going to be held at his home here." my dad said walking in. "He's bringing his nephew back to the states. He wants him working up in New York with you Joseph."
"Who's his nephew?"
"You remember Miguel?"
"Awww man, I ain't seen him since that day."
"Yeah, he said that he's more mature now and can handle being in this world."
"Cool." Andre said.
"Well if that's it, I'm going to see my son." I said standing up. "Andre you coming?"
"Yeah, we'll see y'all later."
"Piaget we need to talk."
"Here." I said tossing him the keys. "Wait for me in the car."

"Piaget, you know we've spread coast to coast now."
"Mhm."
"I want to keep my family safe."
"Daddy what are you saying?"
"Daniel and Julez have to leave."
"What?! No!"
"Piaget calm down, it-"
"Uh un. You're always making them move! I'm tired of it daddy. That's my boyfriend and son, my family, Why are you constantly trying to keep them away from me?"
"For their protection."
"Try again. We are the most feared family in America. Nobody has tried to come against you in all these years."
"You know with new territory comes new enemies. I don't want them to get hurt."
"Andre is there, and so is Giselle. I know she said she's not in the game but she wouldn't let anything happen to them."
"They've been moving, what's the problem now?"
"You want to send them out of the country!" I yelled. "I can't keep moving him every time shit gets tough."
"Do you want them hurt? Or worse, dead?!"
"That won't happen!"
"Piaget you can't keep that promise."
"They haven't been harmed since we've been together!"
"Who the hell you raising your voice at?!"
"Piaget calma abajo." my mother said trying to soothe me.
I took a deep ass breath because I was ready to punch him, dad or not. "I was young and naive when they first started to move around. I thought yeah it's a good idea because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something were to happen to them. But I'm older now."
"Piaget-" I put my hand up.
"They're not moving anywhere unless we move as a family."
"What are you implying?"
"I'm telling you that if you make them leave you will have lost two daughters." I grabbed my purse and left.

New York

"Joseph don't be so rough with him." I was sitting in my backyard watching him and Julez play a game of 21.
"Chill Piaget, he needs to be tough out there. These kids not gone take it easy on him."
"Your daddy is crazy, huh Alana?" she just looked at me playing with her little feet.

""Your daddy is crazy, huh Alana?" she just looked at me playing with her little feet
