Adrianne sat up in the bed. "This hotel is beautiful, but I'm tired of sitting in bed." 

She was finally out of the hospital, but the doctor still had her on bed rest. Anthony explained that Coco was looking for a house for them because he had too much stuff on his plate at the time. He also explained to her how he didn't want her back to that house, but never told her the truth about why.

 "Babe, calm down. Coco texted me the address to the house, so I'ma go check it out," Anthony said.

 "So you're going to leave me here by myself?" Adrianne asked.

 "Babe, you're on bed rest, so what do you want me to do?" Anthony said.

 "I want to get some fresh air. I'm tired of sitting here all day. I'm shocked I don't have bed sores," Adrianne said. 

Anthony  told Adrianne that she could come along, and she got up and got dressed. She was still a little weak, but she managed to get ready. He watched her as she got dressed, but her baby bump was adorable. He liked how her belly button started to stick out. She grabbed her coat and they left. 

In no time they arrived at the address Coco had texted, and Adrianne couldn't believe her eyes. Hell, Anthony was shocked himself. It was a beautiful, modern brick mini-mansion. It was gated off with its own security keypad. Anthony pulled up and the gates opened. When he got closer to the house, he saw Coco and a short, white bald-headed guy standing in the doorway. Honey got out, and Coco greeted her.

 "Welcome home, baby girl," Coco screamed. 

Adrianne gave Coco a hug. She really missed her a lot.

 "Who's house is this?" Adrianne asked.

 "Well, hopefully it will be yours. Come in and let me show you around," Vanity said. 

Adrianne 's mouth was wide open as she stepped into the house. Anthony stayed behind and talked to the white guy, whose name was Bill. 

"So this is 15,000 square feet, which is over six acres of land. It is five bedrooms and two master suites," Bill explained.

 "Sounds good. What else is there and how much is we talking about," Anthony said as he and Bill started walking around the house.

"Well, it has an in-ground pool, five full bathrooms, and not to mention a gourmet eat-in kitchen with a curved staircase. I almost forgot — there's a full basement with a laundry room and office," Bill finished.

 "Everything sounds good and the house is amazing. How much are we talking?" Anthony asked for a second time.

 "Actually, you're in luck, because it went down for some reason. $250,000 is the asking price," Bill said.

 "That's kind of cheap for something so grand. What's the negative side of this house?" Anthony wanted to know why it was such a sweet deal. "Actually, there's no reason, but just to make sure I will double check," Bill said.

 "Write up a contract and we can talk," Anthony said.

Just as the conversation was over, Adrianne and Coco came out of the house. Adrianne was smiling from ear to ear, but Coco's face was not a pleasant one.

 "Babe, I love this house. It is just what we need to start our family," Adrianne said. 

She gave Anthony a kiss when she finally got to him. He kept looking at Coco. He knew something was up, but he just didn't know what. 

"Okay, Bill, you have my number, so hopefully we will be talking sooner than later," Anthony said and headed for the car. 

When Anthony and Adrianne were in the car, Anthony 's phone went off. It was a text from Coco. 

Adrianne's mom is around town asking have anyone seen her. I'm going to keep my ear to the street, but if I find her first the bitch is mine. 

Anthony knew he only did half the job, but he was ready to finish it. He did not care if it was Adrianne 's mother or not, she was a dead bitch to him. 

They pulled off, and Anthony was trying to hide his rage, but Adrianne could sense something was wrong, like always. 

"Talk to me, babe. What's going on?" Adrianne said. 

"Nothing, babe. It's nothing to worry ya pretty little head about," Anthony said. 

They made it back to the hotel safe and sound. Anthony sat on the bed while Adrianne took a shower. With her finally being home, Anthony was slightly sidetracked and didn't think too much about Adrianne 's mother. Now reality has settled back in, and Anthony knew he had to settle this unfinished business. He didn't know what to do. Even though what happened in the past almost ruined Adrianne 's life, this was still her mother. This put Anthony in a fucked-up position. How could he take out her mother? He didn't feel as though it was his place, but he had to think on a plan to put her ass away.

 "Babe!" Adrianne screamed. 

"What are you yelling for?" Anthony said.

 "What the hell are you thinking about? I have called you three times while I was standing here," Adrianne said with attitude. 

Anthony didn't know he had blanked out. He was thinking too much and never heard Adrianne Since she had been pregnant, she had been very aggressive, so the slightest thing, made her want to argue. Anthony understood a little, but since this was the first time he'd dealt with this, he just took everything day-by-day. 

"My fault, babe. I was thinking about something," Anthony said. 

Adrianne put her nostrils down. She was really mean since she had become pregnant, and she knew she just couldn't control her emotions. 

"I have a doctor's appointment later, and I'm hungry now," she said. 

"Okay, I'll order you some food, and then I have to make a couple errands," Anthony told her. 

He had to leave because he couldn't figure out anything with Adrianne in his ear. He called room service and ordered her some food. He gave her a kiss and headed out the door.
