Grind and Pray

Final Chapter pt.3
"Hope P.O.V": As me, my husband, and Ni make our way into the house we see a tall figure stand over a now dead Tiff. Where is my nephew? I froze and I just remember Ni wrestling with the dude. I fell to the floor holding Tiffs non-moving body.

Hope: WHAT DID YOU DO?!?

      As I held Tiff's body, I saw my nephew crawl over to us. The family began walking into the house and Pablo saw Tiff's lifeless body. He dropped to the floor. Ni had his knee in the dudes neck. I moved away from Tiff and pulled off his mask.

Chuckii: Dad?

Mama: Marvin? What did you do?

       Rage filled my eyes and I burst into tears. Ni got up and pulled him up allowing me the opportunity to punch him. Chuckii grabbed me and I screamed.

Hope: Why? She was just a child!

      I broke out of Chuckii's hold and picked up my nephew. Lonzo baby I'm so sorry. Now my nephew has to grow up without a mother. We heard sirens and I back away from the family. Chuckii mama had the twins and I just looked at her in disgust. Chuckii grabbed the twins from her and followed after me.

Hope: I want her out my house.

Chuckii: Ma' that's my mom.

Hope: I don't care. I don't want her around my kids.
Chuckii: These are my kids too.

Hope: Don't do this. I've lost Tiff, I don't want to lose you.

       Chuckii kissed my forehead and the police burst into the backyard.

Police: Get down on the ground!
Chuckii: Don't shoot! We got kids in our arms!
Police: DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW!

        I slowly put my nephew down onto the floor and as I grabbed babygirl from Chuckii a gunshot went off and Chuckii fell to the ground. I cried and one of the officers rushed over to us.

Police 2: Grab the kids ma'am.

Hope: He shot him!

Police 2: Ma'am! Go get towels and some alcohol.

       I left the kids by Chuckii as I rushed into the house grabbing everything that I could. Everyone saw my facial expression and Ty followed after me along with Snoop. They grabbed the kids and looked at the police officer.

Hope: Record them!

       Snoop pulled out his phone and began recording the police.

Hope: Why are you helping my husband?

Police 2: Because he was innocent and this cop vs African American needs to stop. Blood needs to stop being shed by police. Hand me the alcohol.

      I did as told as he pressed the towel against Chuckii's womb.  The police then whispered in my ear, "My body cam is on so everything is going to be fine." This is the first white cop, that I have met that actually wants justice for me and my kind. The ambulance showed up and Chuckii left. I rode in the ambulance with him to the hospital. I JUST WANTED THE FAMILY TO BE TOGETHER WITH NO DRAMA.

"Ni P.O.V": I come back from over seas for this? Bruh, I came to spend time with my family. Tiff is dead. Chuckii is on his way to the hospital. Chuckii's dad is on his way to jail for killing Tiff. Pablo is remaining silent. Everyone is sitting in the living room starring at each other remaining silent. Though Becca is sitting on my lap, I rubbed my face.

Ni: So no one is going to talk?

Mama: What is there talk about?
Rebecca: You should be the last one questioning anything right now. You were suppose to be honest with us. Why didn't you tell us that daddy was back?

Mama: Because me and your father are no longer together. We haven't been together for about four months now.

Rebecca: Is that why you haven't been wearing your ring?
Mama: I didn't think that I had to tell you guys because...
Ty: Didn't think you had to tell us? You are the world's shittest mom! You sitting here thinking everything is all fun and games but in reality you were and probably still are hiding secrets from us.

Mama: I don't have to explain the...
Ni: SHUT UP! You can leave.
Mama: Who?
Ni: You. You're not welcomed in this house until Chuckii and Hope say so.

       Mama grabbed her things and made her way out of the house.

Ni: Anyone else want to go?

       Just then Mariah followed after her, which no one really cared because she gave a negative vibe anyways. As I sat back down, my beautiful wife began rubbing my shoulders as everyone sat down on the couch and grabbed a chair.

Ni: Pablo we need to know everything that happened.
Pablo: I was on my way back from picking up Tiff sister because Tiff wanted to see her sister. Just as we were crossing the border a dude recognize her and killed her. He said that no one in her family was safe. I wanted to come back and save Tiff by hiding her but I guess he followed me and got to her before I could. Now my son has no mother and my future fiance is gone. I have no one now.

       We all looked at Pablo. How could he be so stupid? Why did he leave without telling someone? I rubbed my head and sighed.

Ty: Sammie, Becca, Alycia, Sydney, and Snoop new girl can ya'll take the twins and Jr upstairs?
Nubriya: I am not no nanny.

      Snoop ran his hand over his head.

Snoop: Bruh you can leave.
Nubriya: Excuse me?
Snoop: Get to steppin'.

      Nubriya got close to Snoop face and Alycia pulled Snoop away from Nubriya.

Nubriya: You can have your dog back.
Alycia: Bitch...

      Alycia took a deep breath.

Alycia: Leave.

Nubriya: Last I checked you're no one. You can't...
Alycia: Listen, I'm the only non-pregnant female in this room other than you. I will drag you out of my brothers house if I have to. Get the fuck out!

      Nubriya grabbed her purse and began walking out the house.

Snoop: Thank...
Alycia: I didn't do it for you. I did it out of respect of my brother and your sister house.

     Alycia walked over to John and grabbed his hand which sparked a flame in Snoop.

Ni: Snoop.

Snoop: What?

Ni: You need to stop using Alycia as a excuse beside you saying that baby isn't yours. Either step up or stay out of Sydney's life.

      Sydney's head turned and she laughed.

Sydney: No. Stay gone Snoop. Remember the child isn't yours. So when she gets here, a DNA test will be done and when that test says you are the father you will be put on child support.

        The whole room grew silent and the girls grabbed the twins and Junior before heading upstairs. This is just crazy. WHAT ELSE CAN HAPPEN???
