'18

*Daijah*
"So how old are you Casey." I ask Que younger sister. We were all in the kitchen cutting up potatoes for the potato salad.

"17 girl. And we have a big family so be prepared for lots of hugs." She day giggling.

"I think I'm ready" I say smiling.

"Don't worry I'll be a body guard to the little one for you." Casey say.

"What are you having anyways Daijah." Que ma ask.

"A boy." I say smiling then frowning at the fact Que still doesn't know the gender.

"What's wrong baby? Why the frown?" She ask.

"Well when I went to get the gender a few weeks ago Que didn't come to the appointment. He went to an appointment with his back up dancer who he not even sure is pregnant with his child." I explain.

"Oh nuh uh!" Casey say with her mouth hanging open.

"So he doesn't know the gender of his own child ?"

"No ma'am." I say.

"Me and him gonna have a talk. Done told him about messing with these fast tail video vixens. They are only after his money." She say shaking her head. "I'm just glad he's got you holding him down. Lord knows he need ya." she say patting my hand.

"Thank you ma" I say smiling before looking out the balcony door at Que, Levi and Derrick talking.

*Que*
"You look so happy lil bro." Derrick say.

"What you talking about D." I say waving him off.

"Over there glowing and shit. Daijah must really be making you happy." He say.

"Yeah man. She's carrying my first child. I feel like shit for not going to the gender appointment last week." I say.

"Where you went." He ask.

"This nigga went to his fuck buddy appointment. He knocked her up on accident." Levi say.

"What! Que we always said use protection" Derrick say sounding disappointed.

"No. that's not what's happening here. It's a 50% percent change that baby isn't mine." I plead.

"She was fucking somebody else along with you ? Damn she get around. I wouldn't claim that." Derrick say.

"Told Que about these Nat nats." Levi say and they laugh.

"Look while we up here in the A I really wanna propose to Daijah but y'all have to help me"

"Marriage? Are you sure ? " Derrick ask.

"I'm positive. I'm in love with this woman. I'm ready to change her last name." I explain while looking through the balcony door at her.

"Damn Que in love. Ain't this some shit." Levi say.

*Daijah*
"Alright everybody come on to the dance floor." Que Uncle Sam say through the Dj mic. I watched from the side because ain't nothing much I can do really.
Que's family is really down to Earth people and they was right they do like to hug.

"Hey baby, you enjoying yourself?" Que ask walking over to me. I take a sip of my drink before nodding my head.

"Que! Come in here somebody is here to see you." Que ma yell from the balcony door. He turn quickly walking in. I stand outside a little while longer before following him inside to see him hugged up on some chick.

"Que who is your um.. friend ?" I ask looking her up and down.

"Oh Daijah this is my old friend Marianna. But everybody call her Mari." He say.

"Hi." She say smiling big.

"Sup." I say feeling all that food coming up. I hold my finger up running to the nearest bathroom.

"Here baby drink this."

"Thanks ma." I say grabbing the cup from her hand.

"Who is that girl all up on Que.?" I ask curious.

"Just a friend from high school. They use to have a thing but I made sure she knew her place before I invited her in. She know who you are and what you are to Que." she explain.

"It would've been nice if he told me and came and check up on me instead of throwing it on you." I say. I know I sound ungrateful but Que is being inconsiderate of me and my feelings.

"I know baby. I'm gone have a good talk with him." She say rubbing my arm. When we go back into the kitchen they were gone.

"Where they go?" I ask Casey whom was a eating a grilled Winnie.

"Uncle Sam asked them to go get some more ice from the store." She say.

"Um. I don't feel well. Ima go lay down a little while." I say.

"Okay baby I'll come check in on you in a little." She say and I head upstairs.

*Morena*
I watch as Daijah make her way upstairs. I could tell she was really uncomfortable about Mari.

"I have a bad feeling about Mari mama." Casey say.

"Me too. Did you see how uncomfortable Daijah was." I ask looking out the window at Levi try to spit game.

"Yeah. I feel like Mari is gonna do something she ain't got no business and Ima have to jack her up just like last time." She say.

"You got that right but quiet down Daijah might hear you."

"Well she needs to know mama. Wouldn't you wanna know if somebody was in love with daddy when he was alive."

"How would you know the girl in love with him,"

"Because she still have them glistening eyes from 4 years ago today." She explain.

"Girl go out back with your family." I tell her shooing the conversation.
