Flight.

Change.

Alashia
   It's been three weeks since Jayla brought baby Taylor home.
  Being around Jayla with Taylor has me all over the place. I barely get sleep and im always doing stuff for Jayla.
I don't mind helping her but sometimes it's to much especially when I'm due in a matter of weeks and I'm still working.
  Mario and I havent been talking or texting. 
  When I found out he had a kid I went off on him and his baby moma, and tray and Timberly.
  I couldn't believe that my own cousin helped them keep that from meh.
I haven't left the house in a week but I decided on getting out the house today.
  I took a shower and got dressed in whatever clothes fitted these days, which was a T-shirt and some joggers.
   " Where are you going?" Jayla asked as I passed her room.
  "Just getting out the house for a lil bit." I replied kissing Taylor's cheek and smiling at Jayla.
  "Are you okay? I mean you've been in the house all week and you've barely talked to meh."
  "Yeah I'm fine thats why I've decided to get out the house for a little bit. Yhu need anything while I'm out."
  "No I'll call if I change my mind tho." She said as I walked out.
  I grabbed my jacket and keys and left.

I pulled into the driveway to my parents home. I parked and got out. I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.
  "Alashia. What are you doing here?" My stepdad said opening the door.
  "Hey Rj I just came to visit. Mom in?"
"Yes come on in sweety." He said closing the door after I walked in.
  "Mommy," I yelled walking towards the kitchen.
  "Is that-- Alashia hi baby when did yhu get here?" Mom said huging meh.
"A few minutes ago why does everyone ask meh that am i not welcome or something?" I play laughed.
  "No your always welcome.."
"Rj can yhu come in here for a minute." I said sitting at the table.
  When he came in he stood behind the counter with mom.
"I have some news for yhu guys." I smiled.
  "I'm pregnant."
They both stood there shocked.
  "Its a boy I'm going to name him Christian after Chris." I smiled rubbing my baby bump.
  Christian is my brothers name. He was kilt at the age of 13 because he got involved with the wrong kids on the block.
  "Oh hunny that's great." Mom said hugging meh.

Timberly
   I turned off the water in the shower and got out after wrapping the towel around meh. I walked in the room and went to my closet not paying attention to see if tray was in bed or not.
  I put on a pair of of solid blue jeans with a half shirt.
  I left my hair down curly.
I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and went into the kitchen to grab something to eat.
  "Hey baby." Tray said and I ignored him and walked straight passed him.
  I haven't been speaking to tray for about a week now. Every since he told meh Traci was Mario's kid and tried to get meh to keep it from my cousin I've just been aggravated with him.
  Now my cousin isn't speaking with meh so I'm not speaking with him.
  "Bae."
"Baby."
"Baeeeeeeeeeee." He whined.
"Trayon shut the fuck up. Damn," I said closing the cabinet.
  "Babyyyy I love yhuu with all my heart. " he said coming in the kitchen.

"K tray," I replied walking passed him.
"So yhu dont love meh." He said grabbing meh and pulling meh into his chest.
  "Yes I love yhu now leave meh alonnee."
  "I don't wanna leave yhu alone I've left yhu alone all week it's time to talk to meh."
  " I have somewhere to be I'll see yhu later. Love yhu." I fake smiled kissing his cheek.
  I went back to the room and put on my all white Tim's and grabbed my wallet and keys.
  "I might not be here when yhu get back but love yhu too.." Tray said walking into the batheroom.
  I said okay and left out. I pulled up to Walmart and walked in.
I reread the text from Jayla like four times trying to remember what she asked meh to get.
  "Okay baby formula. Milk. Diapers. Anddddd," I said checking my basket then reread the text again. "Strawberry's." I said aloud as I walked to where the fruit was.
  I turned to walk away then bumped into someone.
  "Oh excuse meh," she said as I backed away from her.
"It's okay."
"Hey your Tray's girlfriend right?" She asked looking meh over.
  "Uh yeah yhu are??"
"I'm Natasha. I be seeing y'all all over Snapchat and Instagram. Yall cute or whatever, he used ta date my sister til he cheated on her." She informed.
  "Um thanks and I'm sorry to here that but I have placed to be." I said getting ready to walk away.
  "They still talk yhu know they been together fa years ain't noway yhu can come in and change his heart. He loves who he loves and babe your a rebound cus he loves my sister.... And their kid." She smiled holding up her phone. "look."
  I looked at the phone and it was a picture of tray some girl and a baby boy. It was on Snapchat.
  "Oh that's great." I fake smiled walking away.
  Hoes just don't want people to be great. Like why can't they get a life of they own.
  I checked out and went straight to jayla's. I pulled up and alashia's car wasn't there. I kinda didn't wanna argue with her anyways because if we saw each other that's ex what we were gunna do.
  "Hellloooo," I called as I opened the door.
  "Shhhhhh, I just got her to sleep," Jay said as I put the bags on the island.
  "Ohhhh my bad how has it been?"
"Girl stressful then laylay walking around her depressed and shit and ive told her thats bad for the baby. She's been locked in her room since everything went down." She said helping meh put up the stuff.
"Damn. Where she at?"
"She woke up this morning and was just like I'm going out and I was like okay I didn't text her cus I know she wants to be left alone."
  "I wish shed understand that I wanted to tell her. Tray told meh it wasn't my place to tell her. But look I'm not stressing it or anything but some random girl named Natasha stopped meh in the store today and was like trays in love with my sister and their baby and I was just like. Uh that's great." I laughed as we sat down eating caramel and strawberries.
  "Damnn yhu gone talk to him bout it?"
"Uhh maybe we already beefing. But she even showed meh a picture and everything."
  We heard the front door open then close. A minute later Alashia was coming into the kitchen.
  "Hey boo," Jay said biting her strawberry.
  "Hey... Hey T," she said dryly looking at meh.
  "Hi babes. Um yhu okay ?" I asked as she sat her pregnant self on a stool at the island.
  "Yeah look I'm sorry for going off on yhu and tray I get why y'all did it and I miss telling yhu everything this past week has been so stressful not talking to yhu." She said.
  "If anything I should be the sorry one I'm so sorry I wanted to tell yhu so bad and no matter how bad things get between me and yhu or any of us I'm always gonna be there for yhu two. I don't care if we had a full on fist fight I'd still listen to yhu and be there if yhu needed meh." I said hugging her.
  "Same here." Jay said joining the hug.
"Samee. Now I have seen news." Alashia said smiling.
  "What is it."
"I'm having a boyyy," she said and we all sqwilled.
  "Ommgggg," I said hugging her.
"I know rightt. Andd I told mom and Rj." She said covering her mouth.
  "Congratulations...." Jay and I said together.
  "Thank yhu thank yhu."
"I'm thinking about naming him after Christian so his name will be like CJ. Yhu know Christian Jr." She smiled rubbing her belly.
  "That's sweet."

We sat around and talked some more. It was going on like five so I decided to stay instead of going home since tray wasn't going to be there.
  I layed on the couch with baby Taylor on my chest. I watched as she slobbered all over my boobs. I laughed at her because she kept trying to put her head up but she couldn't.
  "Anybody hungry cus I'm hungry as hell." Alashia said pausing the tv.
"Yes i want some tacos." Jayla said looking up from her phone.
  "Girl no I had tacos the other day." I said.
"Well I'm feeling tacos too so your outta luck." Alashia laughed.
"I'm guessing you two are going to get them so just get meh a salad." I replied.
  "Okay..." I layed on the couch scrolling threw Netflix as they got ready and left out.
  I looked at the time and it's going on 6 and tray hadn't called meh. I unlocked my phone and went to Snapchat and took some pictures and some videos of meh a Taylor and put them on my story then she started crying.
  "Awww taytay whata wronggg.." I said in a baby voice.
  I checked her diaper and it was full of poop.
  "Gross." I said picking her up and taking her to change her.
  My phone started ringing as soon as I got up but I just let it ring.
  I layed her on the changing bed and she was still trying to cry.
  "Yhu so spoiled. Stop crying girl." I laughed tickling her belly and she smiled a little.
  I cleaned her up then decided to gone head and give her a little bath.
  I sat her in her little thingy in the sink and let her play in the bubbles for a moment while I called tray back.
  "Why yhu can't answer the phone the first damn time I call ya ass?" He answered.
  "Um I was cleaning up the baby and I'm currently giving her a bath and watch ya mouth." I said washing Taylor's little body with the Winnie the Pooh wash rag.
  "Awe. I saw ya Snapchat.... Why yein call meh earlier and where yhu at cus I know yein at the house?"
  I switch over to FaceTime and told him where I was.
  "Oh yhu coming home ?"
"Why would I when your not there. Plus I'm thinking about moving back in over here." I said wrapping a towel around Taylor. She was fighting sleep.
  "Why yhu thinking that Timberly."
"Because like. Your never at home when I go to sleep and I hate that. Yhu come home at whatever hours thinking I'm fine with it and I'm not." I said grabbing all the stuff to fix her bottle and setting it on the island.
  "Okay Timberly."
"Don't okay Timberly meh. I want it to stop please."
  "Timberly just becus I'm telling yhu I love yhu n yhu living in my house don't mean ima change my ways. I come home late becus I have a job."
  "What yhu do is not a fucking job Trayon issa choice that not only puts meh in danger but it puts us in danger together."
  "Timberly I've told yhu this over and over again I'm going to make sure yhu safe at allll times. And it keeps a roof over ya head and food in yo mouth don't it. Yeah so it's a damn job."
  "Bye Trayon. And im not coming back til yhu change ya own ways since I can't." I said hanging up in his face.
  I sat in the rocking chair rocking back and forth as I feed Taylor a bottle.
  "Never get involved with bad boys. Get yhu a good boy who loves yhu and doesn't play with your heart becus yhu deserve way way better." I whispered as I watched her down her bottle.
