Hood Love: The Third

Praying For The Best

*5 months later*

*Onika is 5 months pregnant, Kyree has been working double shifts since they need to move into another house with more room for the baby coming & Angie still doesn't know about Onika's father being in her life*

*Rashad is on summer vacation & he is rubbing Onika's feet*

Onika: Mmm thank you so much baby

Rashad: Your welcome ma, I am gonna have a baby brother or sister?

Onika: I don't know yet my love today when daddy comes outta work he is gonna take me to find out OK & I promise I will let you know what the baby is

Rashad: OK ma

Onika: What do you think the baby is?

Rashad: I hope it's boy because I will have someone to play with

Onika: What if the baby is a girl

Rashad: Then I will have to protect my baby sister from the mean boys out there, I know she is gonna be playing & a ugly stupid boy is gonna try to pick on my baby sister & I will beat him up, make him look like a fly with a missing eye

*She laughs*

Onika: Good baby you always protect your broter or sister you always have there back & you never put your hands on a girl do you hear me?

Rasahd: Yes mommy but what if the girl hits me first?

Onika: Then that's when you tell your sister & she will beat her up for you. You never lay your hands on a woman, Women are already faced with the day to day challenges of being a woman and to have added pressure from a careless figure of a man is totally unnecessary. You always treat a woman with up most respect you always call her beautiful & you treat her like a queen no matter how mad they can make you, YOU never lay a finger on any woman do you hear me?

Rashad: Yes mommy I will never lay a finger on any woman

Onika: Good baby now help mommy up we are gonna go get some ice cream

Rashad: YAY !!! *He helps her up*

*They go out for some ice cream & Onika is holding Rashad's hand when she bumps into Angie*

Rashad: GRANDMA !!

Angie: Hi my honey bun Hi sweetie look at you your glowing

Onika: Ha glowing try eating I'm getting big by the minute

Rashad: Grandma guess what?

Angie: What?

Rashad: Grandpa..(GCF)

Onika: He wants to know who is his grandpa

*She looks at him very surprised*

Rashad: No mommy don't to lie to grandma

Onika: Rashad come on let go get the ice cream

Angie: No what is he talking about?

Onika: Nothing mom just noting Rashad come on

Angie: No tell grandma what are you talking about?

Rashad: I seen grandpa & I talked to him

Angie: Grandpa?

Rashad: Yeah grandpa Jamal

Angie: WHAT !!!

*She looks at Onika with a scared look on her face*

Onika: Why are you looking at me like that?

Angie: Jamal is he light skin, kind of tall, at least in his 40's or 50's?

Onika: Yeah what's wrong? is he my father?

Angie: God no what you gotta do is getting everything you need out the house right now because Jamal is not your father, if you please follow what I am telling you I will personal tell you everything you wanna know about your actual biological father

Rashad: Grandma what's wrong with grandpa Jamal he is very nice
