Pass Down The Throne

Chapter 22: Goodbye, My Brother...

Alexus Kent POV
I am really hungry. I could eat the whole of McDonald's right now. Currently, I'm 4 months and my stomach is showing. You can't really tell though because of how much weight that I've suddenly put on. Nobody has noticed so far but Kash has his days where he would look at my stomach and I weirdly.

"Bone, you got my avocados?" I questioned.

"Yeah, they in the bag." He pointed.

"Alright, let's get these bags inside." I went for the bags but he put his arm out stopping me.

"Lex, you know you can't be carrying heavy things whilst you're pregnant." He said before taking the bags himself.

"Pregnant?" I widened my eyes a little.

"Who said in pregnant? Nobody said I'm pregnant. Pregnant where? Pregnant who? You want some nuts?" I spoke fast.

"I know you're pregnant." He chuckled.

"You never eat avocados, only when you're pregnant." He said before walking off.

I guess I gotta hide my avocados before the kids notice anything. We walked into the house and the kids were doing their homework and stuff. I gave them a smile before heading into the kitchen.

"Hi mama, need help?" Rochelle asked.

"No, I'm good. Where's the father?" I asked scrolling through my phone.

"He's upstairs." She shrugged as she walked back to where her brothers were.

I made my way upstairs and I opened our bedroom door. Omarion was laying down in bed using his phone whilst watching TV. I sat down on the bed and sighed before opening my eyes again.

"You straight?" He asked.

"I guess.." I shrugged.

"This baby is literally making me get sick every time I smell either McDonalds or Wendy's." I frowned.

"And they're your favourite." He laid me down and planted kisses as he went on top.

"Mhm..You're my favourite though." I smiled.

"Mom, you in there?" Romain knocked on our door.

"Yeah, come on in." I sat up and removed my shoes.

"Jazmine wants to hang out. Can I go?" He asked scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah but you must be back before dinner." Omarion told him.

"Thanks pops, I'll see you later mama." He kissed my cheek before slapping hands with Omarion and walking out.

"Harlem is coming over." I stood up and removed my shirt.

"To?" He stood behind me.

"To chill." I scrunched my face up.

"I was just asking, damn." He smacked his teeth.

"Anyway, I'm going downstairs to start on dinner. Tomorrow I'm going food shopping again but for Christmas dinner." I tell him.

"A'ight, I'll tag along." He shrugged.

"Thanks." I smiled.

Harlem Taylor POV
"Where are you heading?" Nala asked me.

"To Rochelle's." I answered.

"Okay, don't come home too late. We gotta be at the airport in time for your flight." She yelled as I walked out of the house.

Closing the door behind me, I could feel a pair of eyes watching. I stopped walking to my car and looked around. The cold air was smacking against my cheeks and the weather was making my eyes water. I continued walking and eventually got into my car. I started my car and began driving out of the driveway. I looking into my rear view mirror, I noticed a black car following me. I smacked my teeth and shook my head.
