Now That I know You... (It's Us Sequel)

Here We Go Again

Karissa's POV (1 month later)

"Mommy." Aaliyah ran in. She was now 10 months old, and was turning 1 in 4 days.

"Yes?" I looked down and picked her up.

"I want juice." she rubbed her eyes.

"Ok. Go sit at your table." I put her down.

It was coming up on Christmas, and I hoped this year was gonna be our first normal one with everyone here.

"Karissa, do you have any cute maternity clothes? I'm getting too big and I can't find anything." Alexis walked in and sat at the counter.

"I have a bag full I was planning on giving away or throwing out. It's in my closet on the left by my shoes." I poured Aaliyah's juice.

"Ok. Thanks bae." she got up and walked away.

"Here you go." I gave it to Aaliyah and she smiled.

"Thank you mommy." she said.

"You're welcome. You seen daddy?" I looked around. She pointed to the dining room. I walked in and he was on the phone. I stood in the door and listened:

"Well, yo ass should at least try......I fuckin know that, but I'm still with her......I can't do that shit." he said. I heard whoever it was yelling through the phone. He stood up and started to pace back and forth. "I can't just leave her! I got a baby with her! I got two fuckin kids now and I can't run around doin all that reckless shit......The 13 mafia is dangerous. The shit is bad enough KJ and Miracle in it, now my ass might get killed. I can't go through with it......I'll pay you $100,000 to take care of it." he threw the phone down and turned around.

I finally knew what all this was about:

Miracle and KJ are both in the 13 Mafia.

The 13 Mafia is divided into 4 quadrants. Revolvers, Shooters, Barrels, and Bullets.

KJ and Aiden are Shooters.

Miracle was drafted into the mainly girls quad, which are Revolvers.

Revolvers and Shooters are rival quads.

When Oscar, the mastermind behind the 13 Mafia, found out, they were both in trouble for even associating with each other.

Since August saved me and he wasn't apart of the Mafia, he is in danger of being killed. (He also went undercover and lied, so that added on to the situation.)

August interfered with the both of them, so if he's seen by any Shooter or Revolver...

He's dead.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I slowly walked up to him.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that baby girl." he said quietly.

"No need to be sorry. If only you would've told me. I would've been separated myself from you so you wouldn't be in danger." I said slowly and quietly.

"I know, but I love you and I wanna be with you." he put his hand to my face.

"No August. It's ok. I love you. The least thing I want is for you to be hurt." I started to back away.

"I want another baby. I want a bigger family. Please, baby. Stay with me." he came closer.

"I don't want you dead." I backed even further.

"No." he grabbed my hand. "It's ok. I got someone to take care of it." he smiled.

"You sure?" I smiled back.

"Yes." he pulled me into a hug.

"If something else happens you need to tell me. Yo ass have me worrying." I let go and walked in the living room where Aaliyah lay on the couch asleep.

"I know. I'm sorry." he sat next to me.

"Ok August." I smiled and picked up Aaliyah.

"What you mean ok?" he asked.

"You know exactly what I mean." I winked.

"Wait till tonight." he sat his hand on my leg.

"Hush. The baby right here." I pushed him.

I looked down at Aaliyah. She was peacefully laying in my lap sleep.

"Bae, I think Aaliyah gone be short like you." Aug got up and went to the kitchen.

"You think so?" I played with her hair.

"Yeah. She short now and she almost one." he poured some orange soda in a cup.

"We still going to see Santa for her birthday?" I laid her on my shoulder and walked to the nursery.

"Yeah. Unless you wanted to do something else." he followed.

"No, actually. That's it. And I think we should come back and have a little celebration at home." I laid her in the crib.

"Ok. You know Alexis took Amiah to the store." he wrapped his arms around me.

"So." I blushed.

"You know what that mean." he picked me up and ran to the room.

"Ok Aug. Put me down, I don't feel good." I said as he threw me on the bed.

"What's wrong?" he frowned and put his hand up to my forehead.

"I don't have a fever, Dr. Alsina. My stomach hurt." I said, looking up at him.

"You pregnant?" he smiled.

"I couldn't be. I ain't fucked you." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh really?" he crossed his arms.

"Oh god." I sat back on the bed.

"Don't be scared." he laughed.

"I ain't pregnant." I looked at the calendar.

"Oh." he nodded.

"Yeah." I rolled my eyes and walked out.....
