Perfectly, Imperfect

12.

Pictures, posters, flyers, bill boards, commercials and man hunts started soon after. Kenny and Toni spared no expense on trying to find Keisha but nothing came up. Toni was now 8 months pregnant and about to pop at any moment.

"Have you gave any thought to what you want to name him yet?" Kenny asked Toni as she sighed. "No. I want to be in the moment and name him."

"Sounds reasonable. Just don't name my boy after any colors, metals, cars, jewelry and no apostrophes." Toni giggled as a commercial of Keisha came on. Kenny quickly turned the channel as Toni got up and walked away.

Kenny looked down in the chair seeing a water puddle and blood. As Kenny looked up he saw he wife collapse to the floor.

"Toni wake up baby! Please wake up!" Kenny sat on the floor in front an unconscious Toni. Her water had broke but she was out of it and couldn't push.

EMT arrived and hauled Kenny and Toni off.

"Boy don't play with me give me my motherfucking money. Now!" Keisha pulled out a gun and started pistol whipping the guy.

He dropped his wallet and Keisha took her money before walking off. Keisha was now a prostitute that ended up in Australia. She never really figured out how she got there but she knew she couldn't escape.

"You got my money girl?"

"Yesss daddy. I got all your money." Keisha's pimp Oscar smiled at her. His gold tooth shined brightly at her.

"Y'all hoes see this shit. If you work hard and dedicate yourself to the dick, you too can be a successful fuck. Now everyone give Keisha a standing ovation."

Oscar left leaving Keisha alone with the other prostitutes. There was 4 of them all under the age of 21. They were like family and would do anything for each other. Although Keisha had been doing this for 6 months she still didn't have the mind set of a prostitute.

"Keisha what are you over there doing?"

"Reading over this bible verse right quick." Keisha had finally seen the light too bad she was in the baddest situation ever. All the stuff she thought was terrible couldn't compare to her life now.

She had one goal, which was to get back home. It would take a lot of everything she had to do it but she knew she would, eventually.

Kenny rocked his new baby boy in his arms and  smiled. Toni was just getting out of surgery from her c-section.

"Have you thought about his name yet?" Nurse Betty asked. "No not yet. My wife has to agree on it." Nurse Betty nodded her head in agreement.

"What are we going to name you buddy? How about something professional like Theodore? Or biblical like Matthew?"

Toni was being wheeled in at that moment eager to see her son. The nurses helped her into her bed as she reached for her baby.

"Aww he's so cute and handsome. I wonder what kind of name should fit someone like that?" Toni cooed at the baby as he held her index finger.

"I was thinking Matthew or something biblical."

"Kenneth?" Kenny turned around to see Toni looking at their baby boy. "What do you think about that Ken?" Toni asked smiling.

A feeling of proudness and excitement came over Kenny. Not only did he have a son but he was going to be named after him too.

"I love it and thank you."

"Where are the EDMONDS?" A very familiar voice echoed through the hall. "Right this way ma'am." Nurse Betty said.

The door opened and in walked Tamar.

"Where is my favorite person?" Toni raised her hand and Tamar lowered her shades. "No baby you have been replaced. I'm talking about that handsome little fella over here."

"Girl whatever. I'm still your fav." Kenny laughed as he picked up Logan and tossed him slightly in the air.

"Y'all two really did this. This boy is every ounce of cute. Toni you're going to be beating these little bitches asses one of these days."

"Little bitches asses! Little bitches asses!" Logan repeated as he bounced around the room. Tamar popped his little hand and he frowned. "Don't say that!"

"So anyway girl have you heard from your father and his wife?" Tamar asked plopping down beside Toni. "Of course not. Haven't heard from her since the day after Keisha disappeared. I talk to dad all the time."

There was a knock on the door. Everyone thought it was Vince but to their surprise it was Mrs. Braxton.

Happy New Year!
