Chris stood in shock. Jayla was her father this whole time. She lied to Markie. She made her believe that Marlee was hers this whole time. She knows Markie is beyond the level of pissed and upset. She knows it hurted Markie but only God know how she would respond to what she just found out.

Chris was home by now and Jayla was with her along with a sleeping Marlee.

"Her bedroom is on the right side down the hall." Chris said unlocking her apartment door.

Jayla carried her to her bedroom and laid her down on her Hello Kitty themed bed. She tucked her in and kissed her forehead smiling. She noticed once she pulled away a small smile formed om Marlee's face. Jayla was happy to finally know she has a child. Now she knows she needs to get help in order to be the best parent she can be.

Jayla went back into the living room only to see Chris sitting on the couch with her head in her hands.

"What's wrong?" Jayla asked as she sat next to her. A good couple of seconds passed before Chris realized she was being asked a question.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"What is wrong with you?" Jayla asked.

Chris stared at her, but Jayla couldn't tell what was bothering her but it made her think. Which brought her to a question she would regret asking let alone hearing the answer.

"Did you want her to be mine?" That question struck a nerve in Chris. She did but she didn't at same time. She felt the same towards Markie and now that she knows the truth, she has no choice but to accept it. She couldn't lie, one day she had hoped to build a family with Jayla before she lost her mind and did the things she did.

"I-I did..I-I do, but Jayla I couldn't trust you nor feel safe around you to try and have a baby with you. You raped me and that made me lose almost all the love I had for you..." She confessed.

A sad look was on Jayla's face,"You said almost?" She asked softly.

Chris looked at Jayla as Jayla turned her body towards her.

Jayla scooted closer and leaned in towards Chris.

Chris

My breath got caught in my throat. "W-What are you doing?" I asked as our eyes met with each other. Her eyes glanced from my eyes to my lips the closer she got.

Our lips were just inches apart...

Pow!

"Argh! Fuck!" Jayla fell onto the floor with her hand over her chest. I screamed at seeing her on the floor starting to bleed. She shook violently as she kept hyperventilating and looking at her hand as blood kept seeping through her clothes then fingers.

"What the fuck!" I yelled.

Chris couldn't believe what just happened. Jayla was shot but she was more shocked at by who.

"She ruind everything for me..." Someone said from in front of the door.

"She's my little girl, not hers."

Chris snapped her head, almost breaking her neck, to a shaky and teary eyed Markie. A pistol in hand and a finger itching to pull the trigger again.
