|Travis|

As I laid in Essence's bed telling her things she should and shouldn't do around my mother, she fell asleep again. I chuckled and held her even closer to my body, if that was even possible. It was then I heard her room door open and her mother walked in.

"Oops! Sorry?" she said before quickly getting out. I was scared as fuck at the fact Eric might be up with her. I know he likes me and all but I know if he finds out Essence and I made love in his house he'd snap. I tried to roll off of the bed and hide but Essence held on to me tightly. I just laid hoping that her father wouldn't just but through the door. Ready to kill me.

"Where are you trying to go?" she asked sleepily. I looked down at her and smiled.

"I'm just trying to put on some clothes before your father walks in on us." I said. Her eyes bugged out as she rolled off of the bed and fell on the floor hard. I was about to help her up when she jumped in to the air looking like she lost her damn mind.

"OMG! If my Dad sees you he's going to flip." she whispered.

"Your mom already saw us." I said, and she froze.

"You mean like saw us, saw us or saw us you know." she said, and at the last part, she held her two hands together close her face.

"She saw you sleeping and me up." I said, she sat and just stared at the door.

"I don't know if she would tell on us or not." She said, in her thinking voice.

"Has she told about Eva?" I asked, she shook her head, but when we heard footsteps she surely did push my ass off the bed and through the cover and sheet all over the place.

"Hey, sweetheart can we talk?" I heard Eric say which scared the shit out of me. I wasn't scared shit less but I could imagine what I would do to a boy who just had sex with my daughter. I would kill him and feed him to a pit-bull.

"Uh, of course Daddy." Essence said, she was so nervous I swear it was the cutest thing ever.

"It's about Travis, and you. I know he's in-" he started, before Es stopped him.

"How'd you know?" she asked, which made me want to kiss her to shut her up, she jumped to conclusions.

"I have eyes and ears, Essence." he said.

"I'm sorry Daddy, Travis come out he knows." Essence said, I found my boxer and pulled them on. I didn't even budge, didn't make a sound. I did nothing. After my boxers came on. But it was when the cover was ripped of of me I looked up and reached back for it acting as if I was asleep on the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Eric yelled. I knew I wasn't fooling anybody because, shit I wouldn't have believed my damn self.

"Mr. Taylor-" I said before I was rudely interrupted.

"DAD I'M PREGNANT!" We all looked over to see Evaughn.

"I know sweetheart it's a mannequin belly, this prank isn't going to work again." Eric said.

"No, daddy I lied, I'm really pregnant and this is the first ultrasound. It's a boy." Eva said, okay Eric was for real gullible if he actually believed that shit. Cause that didn't no damn sense. So she's trying to say that her father, the Principal of a school she attends didn't realize that he ain't sign for them shit. Right now he didn't know who to be made at, and when Audrinna happy ass came up the stair she just made shit worse.

"Eric,you really can't be mad. When we did the same shit." she said, truthfully. We looked at her like she lost her mind. She wasn't there to raise them so she has no right to be upset, so that's why she's not.

"Are you back on mom?" Eva asked.

"No, I just had my third coffee." she said, Essence walked over and smelled her.

"Yeah, she smells like coffee." Essence confirmed, If only she knew that that ain't mean shit, I looked in Audrinna's eyes. She wasn't even close to being faded, she was too sober.

"No I just can't believe both my babies, are growing up so damn fast. One is having a baby, and the other isn't trying to be a baby anymore. I know we did the same thing, It's just now I realize what your father wanted to kill me. I was the only one would made you become a woman early. Even though I don't regret shit I just don't want them to turn out like us." Eric said.

"First of all I am not doing drugs, no offense mom. And I would love to be the first black woman to run a company the way you run the school. Dad come one and open your eyes parents, students, and faculty love you. Why wouldn't you want us to be like you?" Essence said

"Because you don't know why your mother was hooked on to drugs it was me. I was that young nigga moving that dope." Eric said, which made me fall out. He sounded so suburban, it wasn't even funny. I couldn't stop laughing.

"What's so funny boy?" he asked, I stood up and Essence blushed, as they stared to act like little girls. I know I looked too fucking good, but damn y'all my future in laws.

"You made mistakes, we all do. But you're now successful. You got your family here. You stopped, moving dope, something I wish my father did too. I promise on everything this won't be some kind of tradition. Evaughn, is pregnant yes, but she's not going to go down that same path you did." I said. He looked at me and I was confused at what I said, I was talking some shit. I think I'm still stuck on Essence's body, shit I wanted some more of her right now. I swear I need to put a ring on her finger.

"Son, are you listening to me." Eric asked. I blinked a couple of times.

"Yeah, of course." I lied. Essence gave me that face, she knew I was lying.

"Okay, I see where you're going from, But like I said before. I don't think a child should be telling how to raise my daughter, especially one that is fucking one." Eric said. Which pissed me off the hurt os Essence's face was killing me.

"Sir, that's where you crossed fucking the line. You're acting like a damn hypocrite. Is that what you thought when you were making these two? See that's the difference between me and you. I didn't fuck your daughter sir, I made love to her. And if she ever does end up carrying my child. That baby will be made out of pure love. I don't fuck the woman I love. And if you feel I do. Say that shit again and I won't let you off this easy. I've killed before, for the people I love same shit goes for her. Father or not, when it's your time, it's your muthafuckin time!" I spat all in his face, I felt as Audrinna, Eva and Es, were holding, or trying to hold me back. Shit wasn't working I was livid.

"Come on, Travie calm down." Essence said grabbing my face, forcing me to make eye contact with her. I was cooling down but looking over at Eric made me want to kill him with my bare hands.

"You passed, BOY YOU PASSED!" he yelled joyfully whilst clapping me up. I looked down at Essence who held the same face I had, Eva just smirked. Whilst Audrinna was throwing high fives at him.

"What the fuck?" I asked.

"Boy, I knew it. You do love her, just testing. But next time you threaten me like that I'll show you how we did it before your time. No guns all hands." he said. Before laughing and walking out,

"Was that shit planned?" I asked Eva.

"Yup, my baby-daddy slash fiance went through it. When Mommy came down she snitched on y'all so we decide to prank y'all didn't know you were going to snap like that." Eva spilled. Essence squealed rewinding what her little sister said.

"OMG! Baby and a wedding!" Essence yelled. I could tell she was a little jealous of her sister, which was a weird sight. I'm working too damn slow.

THIS WAS ALL TYPED ON MY PHONE, SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES, OR PARTS THAT SOUND REALLY DUMB, MY MIND MOVES MUCH FASTER, THAT MY HANDS.
