Braxton's POV

     I wonder what Phoebe's doing? I was still thinking about what Johnny told me. I don't know why he didn't want me to tell her or why he just didn't tell her that day. What was he waiting for? It was my off hour so I decided to call Phoebe back.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Nothing." she said.

     There was something off about the way that she said it.

"Selena leave us alone." I heard someone say.

     Was that Vince? What was she doing with him? Why was she alone with him after what happened last time?

"Phoebe why are you alone with Vince? Did you forget what he did last time?" I asked anger in my voice.

     Not anger for her anger towards him for being with her.

"I'm not dumb. Everything is fine trust me." she said.

"Phoebe. Phoebe. Phoebe. Damn she hung up." I said.

     I threw my phone on my desk. How am I suppose to relax now that I know she's with him? I knew I should've took today off and stood with her. I picked my phone back up and texted Steve. I don't know how he got my number but I'm glad I didn't delete it.

Steve go keep an eye on Phoebe. She's alone with Vince. - Braxton

     Not a moment later my phone vibrated signalling I had a text. It was from Steve.

Relax lover boy I'm already on it. Phoebe called me before you texted. I been with her since she left the house. - Steve

     That didn't make me feel any better but I'm glad that she wasn't alone with Vince. I don't care if he did protect her yesterday I still don't trust him. What did he want with her? Why did she agree to go meet with him? He gave up his rights as a father so they didn't need to meet about the baby.
     I wanted to leave and go get her. I didn't want anything to happen to her. If something happened it would be my fault because I wasn't there to protect her. I hope nothing happens to her.

Phoebe's POV

     Selena was still following us. Won't she leave Vince alone. She really didn't take rejection well.

"Vince I'm sorry baby please forgive me. We can work this out. I promise I won't cheat on you again." she said.

"Selena you're an idiot if you think I'm gonna take you back." he said.

"Vince I think it's time for me to go." I said.

"I agree. I don't what Selena might do. I'll take you home."

"That's okay I have it. Just make sure Selena doesn't follow me."

"Got it."

     I hurried away from them and back to where Steve was waiting for me.

"Take me home." I said getting into the car.

"Alright." he said.

     I bet Braxton is freaking out.

"So what did he want?" Steve asked.

"He wanted to talk about being a part of his baby's life." I said.

"How do you think Braxton will feel about that?"

"Honestly I don't know but it doesn't matter what we want. We have to do what's best for the babies."

"After you have the babies are you going to have them do a DNA test to see what baby is for who? Not that it matters to me."

"I haven't really thought about that but yeah I will."

"Remember that if you need anything just ask."

"I will."

"I've been keeping an eye on you know who and your mom. Nothing's really happening but I know they're planning something."

"Thanks for the update."

"No problem. I have to look out for my baby mama."

     When I got home I went upstairs to our room and laid on the bed. Today took a toll on me and it was barely over. How was I suppose to get through these next few months if today wore me out? I didn't need to be stressed out. I wonder if things would be different if I was with my real family.
     Would I still have been pregnant? Would Braxton and I have still met? Would I be in love with someone else? I don't think I wanted to know. I couldn't imagine my life different from what it already was.
