My dad busted into my room. I was shocked,what was he doing out of prison.

"DADDY" i pushed Killa and hugged him. "Hey princess" he kissed my cheek. "What are you doing out so early?" I asked

"They re-opened my case and I was found non guilty and they let me out" he said then his smile faded

"What is this lil nigga doing up here?" He asked. "Ser amable Papi(be nice daddy)" I told him

"Killa you know my daddy,Daddy you know my boyfriend Killa" i introduced them. "Nice to meet you again" Daddy said

"You too sir" Killa said. "Why was he kissing your stomache?" Daddy asked i sighed. "Daddy you gotta promise not to hurt,or kill Killa. You cant tell Cardell and dont yell" i looked at him

"I promise" he said simply. "Promise on mom" i made him do that. "I promise on Leena" he said

"Im pregnant" i said backing away to Killa. "Im disapointed Laila,but your growing up. Its a tradition that we have kids at a your age but I didnt want it to be my Laila" he said

"Ummm Laila I will call you later, love you" he pecked my lips

I walked downstairs an her arguing. It sounded like Daddy and Cardell, I peeked and seen Ken'Dell in there.

"I want Laila and Ken'Dell living with me" Daddy says. "Im grown" Ken said. "No dad, Laila is staying with me" Cardell said

"She is my daughter" dad said. "Dont even go there,she is my daughter if anything" Cardell said through his teeth

I walked to the kitchen. "Whats going on?" I asked. "Nothing" Daddy said. "Laila who do you wanna live with, Me or Dad?" Cardell asked

I ran in Cardell arms. He is like my dad. "My Laila-Bug" he pinched my cheeks.

"I just wanna raise you a little" daddy said

"Cardell I'm pregnant" I told him, Ken'dell stood up. "WHAT" they both yelled

"it happened 3months ago" I confessed. "it's Killa's huh? he asked

"yea" I said.. "got to your room and go to sleep" Cardell told me I did as told I knew he was mad. I went in my room and got out my diary

Next Day

I got up and went downstairs. When I went downstairs I seen Cardell, Ken, Daddy, and the crew. I grabbed some snacks for school and put them in my satchel.

"What is everyone doing here?" I asked. "We gonna scare that nigga and If that don't work then Dad will" Ken'Dell said

"Did you eat?" Cardell asked. "No. I have snacks" I tell him

He gave me $20. "buy some lunch" he told me.

"Take us to y'all class" Cardell said. "ok" I said
