Not What I Expected (Dinah/You)

Chapter 17

Your POV

      Out the corner of my eye I can see Normani come and take Cheylise from Dinah's arms. At this point I'm furious. How could he not remember all of the shit he out me through my last two years in high school. He treated me like I wasn't even his own blood. "You what Gabe!?" "Yeah I helped them pack your shit. You didn't deserve to be in the house anyways. You was going to rub your gayness on Ayana. We already have one dyke in the family we didn't need two." You could hear the gasps come from everyone's mouths.
       Before I could even think my body started to move. I was sending jabs to his face left and right. Once he was on the floor Uncle Ray pushed me away from him. " Really nigga!? I took care of you more than those two fools you call parents did. And that's how your gonna repay me!? You ain't family no way. You just wanna come into my life cause you see me doing good." I push Uncle Ray off of me and walk off into the field.
      I can hear Cheylise crying for me but I'm not in the right place to hold her and comfort her. I need to calm down. I try to catch my breath by closing my eyes and  counting to ten. "Baby look at me." I open my eyes and look down a little to see Dinah in front of me. I look right into her eyes and I instantly calm down. "Baby you have to calm down for Cheylise. We can go back to the hotel and cuddle and watch movies with all of us or we can stay here if you want but just don't go near them and we can stay here as long as you want even if it's for a minute." I breathe out a breath I didn't think I was holding. "I'll stay. I miss all of them. I wanna catch up." I say and she nods her head.
     She grabs my hand and we walk towards Normani, Aunt Drea and  Chey. "Baby there are two people that I want you to meet. They are really important in my life and they are the ones that got me and Mani into music when we were younger." She nods her head and we walk towards my grandmother. See my grandparents were the ones that would always play music in the house and encourage me and Mani to sing all the time. They would always record us when we would sing in church or at their house. Before I got kicked out they were the last ones that I really talked to about coming out. They accepted me the most. "Hi Nana." She turns around and I let go of Dinah's hand and hug her. "Hi my beautiful granddaughter. Who is this?" "Nana this is my girlfriend Dinah. Dinah this is my grandmother in my birth giver's side." Dinah goes to shake her hand but Nana pulls her into a hug. "Where Paw?" "He's um gone. He past away last year baby."
      Everything stopped. The man that helped form who I am is gone. My grandfather was my biggest supporter growing up. He would always try to get me into everything that had to do with music. He was the main reason besides me being homeless for signing the record deal. "Are you serious?" She nods her head and I start to tear up. I wipe my eyes because I'm tired of crying today. He also told me that when he pasts away he wouldn't want me to cry. He would want me to keep doing what I'm doing because he would always be by my side. "I'm so sorry Nana." "It's fine love. Who's baby is that?" "Mine Nana. Her name is Cheylise."
"Where's her mother because I know your beautiful girlfriend isn't. I can tell just by looking at the baby." I laugh because Nana is always so blunt. She never has any filters. "She's at her house or the strip club--" I hold the back of head rubbing it. I hear Dinah giggling. "You got a stripper pregnant?" "Nana I was drunk. It was a mistake." "What was you doing drinking? Your under age. You lucky I don't call your Aunt Sammy in your dads side." "My sperm donor you mean? And don't do that you know that women is crazy just like her brother." "Who is this beautiful young lady right here. I know she ain't family because I never seen her before." "Exactly she's not family Stanley. She's my girl and it will be the last time that you would ever see her." Dinah grabs my hand and squeezes it. I look at her and she smiles. I kiss her forehead and look back at Stanley. I hear a familiar laughter and then I feel my pant leg get tugged on. I look down and see my baby girl. I smile and pick her up. "What are you doing pretty girl?" I say as I tickle her a little and her melodic laugh coming from her. "She's precious Y/N. and she's beautiful too." "Say hi to abuela niña." Cheylise just waves as she puts her face in my neck. "Don't go speaking all Spanish on me. She can call me Nana. You know better." We all laugh besides Chey. "Mama bad" she taps my shoulder and points. I turn around and see Ayana.
"Can we talk?" I sigh and nod my head. I hand Dinah Cheylise and tell them that I will be back and walk of with Ayana. Once we stop at a tree a little further away from everyone else. "I didn't know that Gabe did all of that. I tried to get you back in the house I just didn't know where you were. Gabe told me that you ran away to Boston and that you would never see me again." She started to tear up. "Asked him why and he said that you said that you didn't want to see us anymore. After you left it wasn't the same. They started to put me in every church group so that I wouldn't become gay or start to think about being gay. They removed everything that had to do with you and made your room into a nursery. They said that they needed to have three straight kids, not three straight and one gay." She looked down at the ground and continued. "They caught me kissing a girl once and they beat me so bad that I was unconscious. They took me to the hospital and said that I got beat up at school. The worse part Gabriel told me that I deserved it because I should've never kissed a girl."
     I grabbed her and I hugged her. I hugged her tight as she broke down in my arms. Ayana never did anything. She was a little young to understand what was happening. All she knew was that I was kicked out for being "bad". She was 14 when it all happened. I was mad at her because I felt like she was mad at me as well. Now that I know that she tried I feel bad. She didn't and doesn't deserve me being rude to her. "I'm sorry. I thought you was mad at me too. I'm so sorry that they did that to you." I kiss the top of her head and rub her back. She pulls back and looks at me. "I live with Aunt Drea now so I'm not with them. The only ones that live there are Gabriel and Ashley our little sister." Wow they really did have another kid. Just to replace me. "I forgive you Y/N. But can I meet my niece?" "Yeah come on big head." We both laugh and make our way to where we previously were.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      "Bye bye" Cheylise says as we stand in front of my grandmother and Aunt Drea. "You know you can come visit any of us whenever you want right. And that goes by everyone except for your brother." I nod my head. "And you guys can come to any of my concerts just let me know and I'll show you guys around backstage." They nod their heads and hug me.
       Nana pulls Dinah to the side before she could turn around. I chuckle and walk to the car shaking my head. "You know she's threatening your girlfriend? And your just gonna walk away?" Normani says. "Yeah I know. And knowing Dinah she's gonna get scared but I don't see why Nana is the most sweetest person I know. But I have a cranky tired daughter that needs to be in bed." Once we reach the car I open the back door and place Cheylise in her car seat strapping her in making sure that she is secured. I walk around and hop in the drivers seat and start the car. Normani gets in the car and following her was Dinah.
"Your grandmother is scary." Me and Normani laugh. "No she's not babe. She just got me back. She's just being protective over me. But thank you." I pull off going into the direction of the hotel. "For what?" "Calming me down. And for meeting my family. And talking me into coming. I never realized how bad I missed them until I came and seen all of them. So thank you." She pecked my cheek and held my hand.
     15 minutes later I had pulled in front of the hotel. I turn the car off and get out grabbing a sleep baby out the back seat and hand the valet the keys to the car. Me and the girls walk into the hotel going straight for the elevator.
     We get out of the elevator and walk to the hotel room. I take the key out of my back pocket and slip it in the door. The door beeps and Dinah opens the door. We all walk in and once I'm in Dinah closes the door. I walk to me and Dinah's bedroom and place Cheylise on the bed. I take off her clothes and replace them with her pajamas. I fix her so she's in the middle of the bed. Dinah comes out of the bathroom that she went in not that long ago and lays next to Chey. I take off of my clothes and put on basketball shorts and stay in my sports bra. I lay on the other side of Cheylise and kiss both of their foreheads.  "Good night baby girls." "Goodnight babe."
