•Mekyah POV
Today was my. Annual gathering with all. Of my family and friends. I was in the kitchen baking. As Rayn was barbecuing. I heard my front door open and close. "You look stressed" I said. As Tee walked in. And sat down on a stool. "It's that obvious" She said. Putting her head down. Sighing making me. Look at her. "What's going on. With you" I asked. Waiting for her response. "Mikey. I told him. The whole story" She said. Rubbing her eyes. "He's mad at you? Did you tell him everything. Even about the mis..." I said until. She interrupted me. "You mean the Abortion" I looked at her shaking my. Head as she took a big. Shot of Romes liquor. I finished. Up in the kitchen leaving. Her going to the backyard. To help. Ryan before everyone gets here.

•Khaflia POV
"Bitch where my son at" I spoke through the. Phone angrily. I was parked. Outside the house I brought this. Ungrateful bitch. Waiting to take. Chase to Mekyah thing today. "He's not going. Unless I'm going" I heard her momma. Say making my blood boil at this point. "Send my son. Outside before I get out my. Fucking car and come get him" I barked. Into the phone. Hanging up. After about 10 minutes. I seen Chase run outside. Smiling hard making my face light up. With joy. As I put him in the car. I made sure he was safe. Then drove off. Towards Melyah house.

•Cam POV
It's been two days. Since I've seen Rox. I been looking around for her. Even got my boys. On alter to contact me. When they see her and. Bring my baby back to me. I was at the cookout. Talking to Kelp and Jay. When Cj pregnant smiling ass. Walked up to us. "Hey y'all. She said. While we each hugged her. Jay put his head to her. Stomach. "Is it a boy. Or girl" I asked. Smiling at her glowing face. "I'm having a gender reveal. Party. On May 15" She said. As we talked a little more. Before her ol man called. Her name.

•Roxy POV
I have been staying with. Jojo since I don't have a place to. Go. Word on the street is Cam is. Looking for me and has a ransom for me. I know he's hurting. But shit so am I. But going back to him will not. Be one of my choices. For now. I decided not to go to a Mekyah thing. And just stay in the house. Since Jojo is going to her. Boyfriend house today. I ordered pizza. Stayed in pajamas. And watched fire stick.

•Tj POV
"So what's going to. Happened. With you getting Chase" I asked. Khaflia as we. Walked up the street to talk. Alone since Chase was playing at the house. "Ion know. But I kill that bitch. Before I let her take him away. From me" Khaflia said through clenched teeth. "Calm down. It won't have to go that far. He still needs a mother in his life" I said. As he just looked at me. My phone. Started to go vibrate. I looked at it making. Me tense up. By who was texting me. "Who is that" I heard Khaflia say. As I looked up. And ignored the call. "Nobody" I faked a smile. Khaflia stared at me. A little longer. Before he believed me. "Let's get back to. The party" I said. Walking til he pulled me back. "You staying with. Me tonight" He asked in the crook of my. Neck. I nodded. Then walked off going. To find Jay.

•Lena POV
"Shanti. Go play before we. Go home" I said. She ran off. To Chase and I turned around. Almost bout to say. Remi's name. "Lena" I heard. Tee say walking up to me. "Hey Tee" I said. Not wanting to talk. "I heard about. What happened" She said. As I nodded. My eyes started to water. "I can't see her. Or have any. Thing to do with. Her until the. Court Hearing. I got so attached to her" I said. Wiping my eyes. "It's going to be okay. Rose said. There're coming over here. The judge can't lock you up for that" Tee said. Making me shake my head. "They can make the date for her. Hearing go back" I said. As Shanti screamed. I looked up to see Remi. Hugging her tightly. "I miss you. So much. Shanti" I heard. Remi say as I was walking. Up to them Remi let Shanti go. As she stood up we stared. At each other. I seen a tear come from. Her eyes. As she latched on to. Me making me hug her back. After awhile. "Momma I wanna. Come back home" Remi said. With her voice cracking. We stood there a little longer. Before we let each other go.

•Janet POV
"I can't take him to. Court he can win and. Take Chase away from me. He helped me so much. He payed for everything. In and outside of this house" I said. To my mother. As I sat down on my couch. "You can. And you will you. Thinking about changing your. Mind so this man. Can love you" She said. Starting to irritate me. "It's not that. I just don't want. Nobody. To think I'm taking him. Because I want his money" I said. Drinking some bottled water. "He can take everything back. Even though I know he's not. I just don't want to take Chase from the only. Father figure in. His life" I said. Making my mother laugh. I looked at her. And sighed. "He has your father as a. Father figure. Not to mention your brothers" She said. Getting angry. "He doesn't know them. Momma I just think you. Should leave" I said. Opening the door. As she got her purse and. Swayed her hips out of the door. I slammed the door. Turning off all of my lights. Downstairs. Leaving to go upstairs. Inside my room. Locking my door. Going to sleep.

•Kelp POV
"You childish" Krystal said. Dying laughing at. What Tj said. Pailizi em had. Came and they was. Really looking good. But they stayed they distance. For now. "Why. You always gotta be the one. To start. Tj" I said. Smirking. Looking at her. "Roxy really the. One that be starting it" Krystal said. As I galanced over. To see Pai making. Her over to me. "I turned around. Knowing she was behind me. "Hey Kelp" She said. Smiling. Trying to hug me. I moved. To the side. "Wasup. What you want" I said. As I heard Tj and Krystal. Walking away. "I missed you. I never should've cheated. On you. But you act like. You never cheated. On me" She said. Making me look at her. "Bitc...Pailizi get the fuck. Out my face bruh. With that stupid shit" I said. Having to pause. Before I disrespect this. Female. "Call me when. You not in your feelings. And ready to. Talk about US" She said. As Carmen. Was walking up. To us. She stared at her up and down. Then walked away twisting. Hard. I shook my head. Throwing my arm. Across of Carmen's. Shoulder kissing her. Forehead. Rejoining the party.
