Pedro Seniors pov

  Abby had got here. She was excited she had little brothers and that she wasn't the youngest. She loved Tiara, they connected instantly.  I was so happy the way life was turning out.

"So Sanchez, what do you wanna do for your birthday? Your finally gonna be 12!"

He shrugged. "I don't know."

"Well why not? You and some of your friends can do whatever you want. Where do you wanna go? "

"Dad I don't have any friends." He said softly as he continued to draw his picture.

Abby and her 3 little friends ran into the kitchen. Abby was so social, she had managed to make friends with basically all the kids in the neighborhood. I notice Chez stop and start staring at The brownskin one like he was in love or some shit.

"Daddy, can we go to the park?" Abby said looking up at me with her big green eyes. My hearts yearned for her. I loved my baby girl. I looked over to Sanchez as he sat there quietly just drawing.

"I'll tell you what, you can go only if you take Chez." I said quietly so he wouldn't here.

Abby held out her hand. I sighed slapping 5 dollars in her hand.

"Uh un Daddy this is not enough." 

"What you need more for?"

"Cuz if I'm gone put up with that lame I gotta have some cash, plus my girls need snacks too."  She said with one hand on her hip.

11 year Olds now a days.

"Well, yo girls parents shoulda gave them some cash for snacks, and that's yo brother be nice." She was always trying to swindle somebody out they money, she  got that from her mama. I had some strong genes though because she looked like the female version of Me except her green eyes, & her Jet black silky hair that was in two pigtails she got from her mother who's mixed with everything, Italian, Dominican, American, so much stuff I couldn't name.

"He's 5 months older then me, he should already know these people ain't my fault he lame." Abby said and Juan walks in with Jarikah.

"Jauny!!!" Abby said running to him and jumping in his arms. Juan was all there favorite brother I swear.

"Hey Abby." He said hugging her back.

"Can I have some cash? Daddy gave me 5 dollars as if that was enough to do anything!" Abby said and Juan reached in his pocket and dug out a 20 and gave it to her. She got the biggest smile. She hugged him even tighter.

"Thanks big brother ,this is why you my favorite, I love you!"

"Oh that's why I'm your favorite? Gimme my money back then." Juan joked and Pj came into the kitchen all shirtless, them fast tail little girls were basically drooling over Juan and Pj.

"No way ! Come on Sanchez, you wanna go to the park with us?"

He looked back to the brownskin girl who was staring at Pj.

"I don't think..."

"Okay, go put your coat and gloves on, we're going to make Snowman at the park and get hot chocolate from up the street on the way back." Abby said not going to take her brothers no for an answer. I smiled. Abby so determined and persistent, I'm not even worried about when she starts to date , All her brothers got that. Chez sighed knowing she wasn't taking no and went to go put his things on.

"Why did you ask his lame self to come?" The brownskin one asked.

"Cuz he's my brother Malia, that's why, so stop trying to diss him and stop staring at Pj and Juan cuz they don't want you." Abby cut it to her.

"Call me if yall need me and be back before the streetlights come on." I tell Abby,and chez before they leave.

"Where's mom?" Pj asked  me.

"Went to drop the twins off At her parents house for the weekend." I said.

"Oh ok." Pj said and we all went in the living room and start watching a movie.

Juan's point of view

    Me and Jarikah chilled with My dad and Pj watching tv. We decided we was gone tell my parents today. Sooner the better right? I knew my Dad wasn't go trip like that I wasn't too sure about my mom tho.

My mom came in and kicked off her heels and smuggled up with my Dad. I stood up turning off the TV.

"So, mom and Dad. This is Jarikah, the love of my life. Dad you met her, mom you haven't. Get used to her being around because, she's it for me." I said.

"Aww sweety." My mom gushed. " I'm so happy you found someone special. "

"Hi, I'm Juan's mom, Tiara and your welcome to come over anytime, You're so pretty."

Jarikah was blushing like no tomorrow. "Thanks. I'm Jarikah but everyone calls me KayKay. And You don't look a day over 25, I thought you we're his sister truth be told."

"I like her." Mom said to me.

"Mom I'm so glad you said that because JarikahIsPregnantandanothergirlisclaiminshepregnantbymetoo bye mom." I rush out grabbing Jarikah And speed walking towards the door. 

"Juan I swear to God if you leave out this house." My mom threaten me as soon  as my hand was on the doorknob.

"Come sit yo black ass down." My mama said and I went and sat down on the one seater far away from my mom.

"You too, come sit." My mama said to Jarikah. Kaykay made her way towards the one seater and sat on the arm.

"So, you're pregnant kaykay?" My mama asked.

I held kaykay's hand and she nodded her head yeah.

"How far along are you?"

"Just Three weeks."

"Did you and Juan Use protection."

Me and kaykay never used condoms, that's why I wasn't Trippin on the fact she was even pregnant, it was expected.

"No." I say.

"And why not?" My mom asked and we both just shrugged.

"So, what you ain't use protection with the other girl either?"

"Beauty? Ma that girl is a thot, that baby could be anybody's , but I strapped up with every girl I ever had sex with...except Jarikah I was her first....and I love her"

"Juan you so damn stupid! Yall 16, barely 17, what yall gone do with a baby? Let alone 2 Juan? Don't you know how hard it is to raise a baby?"

"Oh cuz you know? Wasn't you the one that ran out on us when shit got too tuff? You know what, I'm sorry that she pregnant while we this young, but we laid down and made this baby, it's only right we raise this child , and If beauty baby mine... Imma do my part. I ain't tryna here this right now." I said getting up grabbing kayKay and leaving.
