From Condos to the Streets: The Trilogy

I was driving back to the condo to get the rest of the money and pack our clothes to leave back home tonight.

As I was packing up I felt Gia sneak inside the room and stand quietly.

I didn't bother to speak because I knew she had something she wanted to say.

So I just gave her time.

"So..." she finally spoke, "what about Brayden"

I sighed, "Listen Gia..." I said turning around to face her.

"You can't hide Brayden from everyone anymore. You lucky the nanny came and saved your ass when they were here, and you lucky I didn't uncover your whole lil plan but you have to face him sooner or later..."

"And the baby's going to grow up and start asking questions. Once that media catch you outside with Brayden, assumptions will be made and then Bibby gon be up yo ass" I said making hand gestures.

"You know damn well that mudafucka dumb but he ain't that dumb, he will eventually put two and two together... stop the lies G you ain't like this" I said.

She looked up and walked out the room.

Honestly I didn't know what was going on anymore. Things falling apart.

Seems like the only people keeping it together is Herb, me, Misha, and Shawn.

After I finished packing my stuff I walked out with my suitcase behind me.

I heard Gia mumbling something but I couldn't make out what it was.

I got closer to the door.

"Yes our flight leaves in two hours. I need all his clothes and anything that belongs to him..."

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Thank you again Rosa for coming in and taking care of him. I appreciate it... gracias" she said.

After that it got quiet and then the door bust wide open catching me waaay off guard.

I looked dumb founded while Gia just walked past me.

"Brayden is coming with us. Rosa is on her way" she said.

Something told me she was starting to be herself again and I was down for that.

We got all our stuff ready all we were waiting on was our cab to go to the airport.

"Titi... where we going?" Brayden asked me as we walked down the stairs.

"To see your uncles and aunts and your cousins" I said swinging our hands.

He giggled happily. I smiled and looked up at Gia who was half smiling.

We got to the airport and boarded our flight.

10hrs later we were arriving at Chicago O' Hare airport.

I grabbed my suitcase as well as Brayden's and rolled it out to the waiting area for cabs.

I looked at Brayden who was having the time of his life with Ke.

I liked seeing my son smile and I would do anything to keep him like that.

I knew I had to change. I knew I had to stop keeping him away from his family.

I knew I had to sit everyone down and tell them everything.

It was going to be hard but I realized they are the only people I have who have been there since the go.
