(Adriana's POV)💖

"Hello you two, who are you here to see? Or enrolling?" the receptionist asked.

"Visiting. Brianna Allen"

"And you are to her?"

"Her daughters" I speak for both of us.

"Okay, I'll let her know your here"

=10 minutes later=✨🕢

I went in first to visit our mom, while Kaila waited for us to get done in the waiting room. Upon walking into the room, I see my mom already behind the glass wall and watching my every move as I enter. I carry myself to go and sit in front of her, grabbing the black phone first to watch her do the same.

"Hey mom..."

"Hi Adriana..." she says with no emotion at all.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, babe.."

"I wanted to surprise you, me and Kaila came to see you today"

"Kaila's here too?"

"Yeah, but she'll be in once we're done"

"Oh okay, so how have you been?" she asked.

"Good and I have some news to share with you.."

"Go on"

"I uh-I'm pregnant, mom" I look down at my fingers.

"Really?" she smiled surprisingly.

"Yeah but I--I don't know" I now look away.

"What's wrong? Are you no happy about the news?"

"I don't know how to feel about it. My lifestyle just isn't mommy material, I trap for a living. And then, I just got out of school a few months ago, money isn't how it used to be and I barely can take care of myself...--" I ramble.

"Adri...stop"

I nod and take a breath.

"You know, I was just like you. The first time I ever got pregnant was by the man who shot your father....remember. But let's not focus on that and just on the pregnancy. I was unstable, my money wasn't right, I knew he wouldn't have been a great dad, I didn't wanna stop drinking and smoking, I hung around thugs all day and I was still in school as well. And actually about to fail the 12th grade and get left back for a third time. I didn't want the child of course because I was scared, I knew I couldn't provide for it. Shit, I was still living with my sisters and with a job a dollar tree. But months went on and.....I could see my stomach getting bigger. About 3 months into my pregnancy, the baby....died. And it broke my heart Adriana. I never thought I wanted to have it until I lost it. Kids....really bring you joy, even as early as when they're growing inside of you. You can't pass that up, being a mother is....one of the greatest feelings ever. My kids saved my life.."

"Now you got me thinking..." I smile.

"About?"

"Being a mom.....,what it'll be..., what he or she will look like"

"Your cool with the baby father right?"

"Of course. He's my boyfriend and we've been together for a few years now"

"Good good. What's his name?"

"Liam. Would you like to see a picture?"

"Sure"

I pull out my phone and click on my Gallery app to reveal my pictures. I pick a nice little one of us and put my phone up against the glass for her to see.

"Awe, you like em dark huh?" my mom teased.

I blushed. "Liam's skin tone never mattered to me, nor will it ever. But I used to only have a thing for mixed boys, but of course they were always no good. Then I met Liam in school and he was my gentle giant. He's very tall by the way, well compared to me. But he's a good man, he's smart, educated, caring, ambitious and a go getter. He keeps my craziness to a minimum"

"That's good to hear, I'll have to meet my son in law someday"

"I can't wait til you do, he's the man I wanna be with, the one I wanna make family"

"That's sweet babe, sounds like my little girl is in love. You father would be so mad" she chuckled.

"I know right. But him and Liam would've got along great, I think"

"Mhm. So that's all that's been going on?"

"Well there is one more thing"

"Okay?"

"Jacob told you about the cartel right?"

"Yep and how we got robbed"

"Well, I'm thinking about going to Nevada to go meet up with the woman who did it"

"What!? You can't be serious" her eyes widen.

"I am. Mom, I can't just sit around and let her take our money like that. Three generations of our family ran the cartel and now some bitch wanna come and take over. I don't think so..."

"Honey, this is dangerous and now your carrying a baby. God forbid if something happens--"

"I highly doubt that or maybe I'm just not scared of her and her gang. But I feel like I need to go and meet her. Just to sit down and talk, not needing violence at all"

"I really don't want you to go but I see that your mind is made up on this. Just be careful okay and keep your eyes peeled. If shit hits the fan, you do whatever you need to in order to survive. Then you get in contact with your brother, I trust that he'll come get you"

"So how would you go about something like this?"

"You fly to wherever she is and ask to sit and talk. Y'all talk and get the full details on everything, this all could have been a misunderstanding. Then somehow convince her to give you the money back and leave unharmed. Use your brain Adri, everything is done for a reason"
