"Quan ." I started shaking him . "Yea ." He groaned getting up from his bed . "Want to come with Jaycee and I to the store ?" I asked going through his dresser looking for some sweats for him to put on . "Sure . I don't care ." He got out of his bed stripping out his basketball shorts into the sweats . "You could've waited until I left you know ." I covered my eye laughing at his bold self . "You saw my dad meat so it really shouldn't bother you . We the same ." He shrugged pulling out a white t shirt to wear . "To let you know we haven't done nothing Mr twin ." I said noticing us matching . "Whatever you say ." He grabbed his slides before walking out the room . Going into Jaycee room , I picked him out of his crib putting him in his car seat .

"Hey tooka took ." I said kissing his forehead . Heading downstairs , I saw Jay and Reggie with him . "Angel , Reggie going to be staying with us for a while until I get all this war mess done ." He said staring at Jaycee the whole time , like something was on his mind . "Okay . We going to the store ." I said walking out the house as Quan followed behind me .

"I want this ." Quan picked up a bag of barbecue chips holding it up in the air . "You got money ?" I said looking for the lays chips . "I left my money at the house , I'll pay you back ." He pout poking his bottom lip out . Rolling my eyes . "Put the damn bag in the cart ." He cheered running over to me . "Thank you ." He smiled hugging me . "Yea yea whatever , now let go of me ." I sighed pushing him away from me . Hearing my phone go off , I checked it to see it was a text from Layla .

"I'm coming back to be with Troy again . Yes I know it's a stupid move but I mean I don't want my daughter growing up fatherless . Forgive me please ."

I sighed putting my phone back in my pocket . The nigga could beat you to the death and you want to still be around him . "Ready to go ?" Nodding his head he pushed the shopping cart toward the checking lines . "Go here no one at it ." I pointed to register six . After ringing all the food up , I paid for it before leaving . "Why do you think Dad letting Reggie staying with us ? I thought he didn't like him ." Quan said pushing the cart to the car . "I don't know either . We'll find out soon ." That's all I could say for now .

"Tomorrow I need you to go somewhere for me ." Jay said wrapping his arms around my waist . Turning around to him , I hopped on the counter frowning up at him . "We are too deep into this mess and I don't want anything to happen to my baby nor kids ." He said kissing neck . "I can hold my own grounds ." I pout crossing my arms under my breast . "That's not the point . If he really came after Lauren almost killing my son what makes you think he's not going to come after you or even Quan ." I really didn't want to move out of the states away from Jay . "I'll make a promise to you . When I get done , we going to have a wedding whatever place of your choice ." I smiled thinking about our wedding and everything .

"While there you can look for you a bride dress and everything ." Kissing his checks , I screamed hugging him . "Okay baby ." I said grabbing his face once more . "Now go get some beauty sleep for tomorrow princess ." He smiled backing up from me . Getting down from the counter , I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the room .

"Why are they coming too ?" I whispered to Angel as we sat across from Zalina , Renee , Jas , Brandy , Layla , and this girl she work with named Mara . "Because I don't know how long I'm going to be over there and I need to be with people I know ." She said back as we just watched Renee and Zalina argue back and forth . "Bitch you look like a water bug ." Renee said pushing Zalina's head getting up from her chair . "I know this hoe didn't ." Zalina laughed getting up too . She attacked Renee as they both hit the floor fighting . Security came breaking the two of them up . "Plane 56 to Jamaica , plane 56 to Jamaica . Your plane will take off in twenty minutes ." A lady said over the intercom . "Well I'll see you soon , fiance ." Angel giggled getting up from her chair . "Same to you ." I laughed getting up standing over her .

She wrapped her short chubby arms around my waist laying her head on my chest . "I'll call you when we settle down in our house ." She said looking up at me . Nodding my head , I leaned forward kissing her lips . Adding my tongue , I grabbed her butt squeezing it . "Stop ." She laughed pulling apart from me . "You know you can't wait until I dick you down ." I said licking my lips . Rolling her eyes , she followed behind the girls as they walked out to the plane . Shaking my head I watched as she tried to jog catching up to the girls . Hearing my phone go off , I checked it to get a text from Ace saying Troy was in the hospital .

Running out of the airport to my car . I got into the car driving to the hospital . Once I got there , I asked for his room before going up to it . Busting through the door I saw King and Ace sitting in the chair . "Yo what happen ." I said pointing to Troy bed as he laid there . "We were at the trap when gun shots started going off . While trying to get out he was shot in the right side of his chest ." King said getting up from his chair pacing the room back and forth . "Yo you know who the fuck did this ?" We all knew it had something to do with Will . "It wasn't Will , we had people to watch him and everyone he talked to in the last forty - eight hours . Sure wasn't Reggie because he was helping us up the whole time ." King said becoming more angry . "What about that sister of theirs ? We need to check more into her ." Ace yelled looking at the both of us .

"FUCK !" I threw a brown wooden chair at the door as it broke into pieces . Pulling out my phone , I made a call to my team to find out who is that girl . "King , you stay here with him . Ace and I gone find this Will nigga and get some information out of him ." Motioning Ace to get up so we can leave , King stopped us from leaving out the room . "Be careful . I know what type of person Will is and trust me , if he didn't mind setting up Montana death he sure don't mind killing you in a heartbeat ." He was right , but it is what it is . That's how the game roll and everyday you don't know if you'll make it home to your family or to heaven .

Walking over to him . I hugged the messed out of him . His soft cries filled my ears as he held onto me tighter . Troy is all he got beside Jas , Ma , and I . I understand how it feel to lose your family right in your family to gun violence and I just pray my sons or daughters don't have to witness that . A lot of messed up shit happened in King life that I'm not gone speak on about but I'm still surprised he still standing tall for his wife and brother . "He gone make it through , you know Troy strong ." I laughed pulling apart from the hug rubbing his shoulder . "Yea whatever nigga ." He laughed wiping away his tears . "Remember we family ." I held my fist out . "Family ." He bumped my fist giving me a weak smiled .
