Sabrina

For the past five days August and I have been living at the old house. I was too nervous to leave him alone in the state he was in. He hadn't left to go back to Europe and he'd firmly stated he wouldn't until he knew Jayden was safe. The day after his kidnapping I went to the doctor and found out I was having a girl and had yet to tell August. I didn't want to bother him with extra things until he had Jayden back.

Jessica stopped by each day claiming to have had a clue from the kidnapper. The whole situation was iffy to me. Why were the kidnappers informing Jessica if they wanted August to pay ? Why did the ransom note have Jessica's handwriting ? Why did they take Jayden in the first place ? More importantly why wouldn't a mother be trying to do everything possible to save her baby ? I understand "they" obviously said to not involve the police but the situation was too fishy to me so today I planned to take the letters to the police and get them involved secretly. I wasn't even going to tell August.

I had dropped Christian off at Rhena's house before I headed to the police station. I didn't even want to leave Christian with August, that's just how bad he was taking this.

I walked into the station while rubbing my stomach. These last few days have been so stressful and I could tell it was weighing heavy on my baby girl. I was starting to have back aches, swollen feet, and bad cramps. I was praying everything was okay with her and that she understood that it would be over soon. I had to do this for her father because I couldn't stand to see him this way, so helpless. "Hi yes, I'm here to see Detective Burns" "Do you have an appointment. He's a very busy man" the receptionist said without looking up at me. "Yes, he told me to be here at 6 and here I am." "Okay well then follow me this way" She walked in front of me and lead me to his office. "Come in." His voice boomed from the other side of the door.

"Hello Sabrina. I've been told you have something to show me" Detective Burns said to me as we sat down. "Uhm yes my best friends son was kidnapped five days ago and the kidnapper left a ransom note with the mother" "That's interesting. Where did they leave the note" he said while examining the note. "The mother said in his crib" "Why are you waiting so late to come to me if the baby was kidnapped five days ago. For all we know it could be in another country" "Well if you read the note it says not to notify the police. The mother was real iffy about getting you guys involved but something just feels off about it." "Do you have anyone that you suspect has something to do with it" "Yes the mother" "Why do suspect her ?" he asked me while writing things down on a notepad. " August, the father, has no one that has anything against him and I know that for sure. She however is known for being deceptive. She's not even trying to really find the baby she just keeps telling August to give her the money so she can get the baby back. How would she know where to go if she had nothing to do with it ?" " You're making valid points. Give me a description of the baby." "It's a boy, has light skin, and a head full of curls, a birthmark on his left eye lid. Here's a picture of him" I said handing him the picture. "What's the father's name" I said while taking the picture. "August Alsina" "The singer? " "Yes and the mother's name is Jessica Lancaster" "How old is he?" "Oh um 5 months old" "Wow he's a new born. It's not even healthy for him to be away from his mother. Well Ms. Sabrina with the information you've given me I'm sure I'll have a lead by tomorrow. We're going to find him" he said standing up. I stood up as well. "You're pregnant ?! " He asked shocked. "Umm yea it's a girl, I'm five months along" "Why are you the one doing this then. Oh God the stress you must be going through." I laughed at his caring face. "Tell me about it" I said as he walked me out.

While I was walking out of the police station my phone started ringing.

" Hello" "Hey Sabrina. It's me, Jay" "Oh hey baby haven't heard from you in a minute." " I know every since everything has happened you've been kind of missing and taking care of your boyfriend" he said emphasizing boyfriend. "Jay don't start. You know how it is. He's going through a lot and I'm just being there for him that's all." "Well you should come be here for yo man I need you too. Meet me at my house in the next 10 minutes ok. I got some things I think you'll like" "I don't know Jay" "Sabrina don't turn me down trust me you'll like it come on" I couldn't say no to him then. "Alright I'm on my way ok"

I pulled into his condo he was living in while he was down here. I walked up the steps and to his door and knocked. "Hey Brina. You got here quicker than I thought you would, come in." he said stepping aside. "Yeah well I couldn't wait to see what you had for me. What is it." "Take off your shoes and jacket" he said while walking to the living room. I followed him after doing what he said. When I walked in I saw spaghetti, mint cookies and cream ice cream, strawberry smoothie, and massaging oils, with some movies. "All my favorites" I said getting excited. "I know. I figured you've been worried about everyone else lately but yourself. You're stressing yourself out so I decided to give you a night off. Come here so you can eat." He said while standing up and putting Think Like A Man in. The spaghetti was so damn good. God Jay could cook. "You like the food baby." he said getting behind me and moving the straps of my tank top to the side. I suddenly felt his strong yet gentle hands caressing my shoulder. I dropped my fork on the plate and moaned. "Mm Jay, you're so good to me" He chuckled. "Shh just enjoy it for right now don't speak." he whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek. I then felt him come from behind me and start to undo my pants. "What you doing " I sat up immediately. "Relax Sabrina I'm not trying to do nothing just trying to massage your legs and feet. Can't really do that with your pants on. Now can I ?" he laughed looking in my eyes. I trusted him. I barely knew him but it was easy to trust him. I allowed him to proceed and boy was I glad I did. My legs were starting to cramp and feet were already swollen so this felt amazing.

"Hand me the ice cream baby" I said as I sat down on the couch with a blanket laying on Jays chest. "You don't want to put your pants back on. Earlier you almost killed me when I tried getting you out of them." "Hush I just got nervous but I'm comfortable now" I said stuffing my face with the ice cream. "Yeah, yeah. What you do today" he placed his hand on my stomach as he said that I could've sworn I felt a kick. "Omg did you feel that " I said sitting up a bit. "Feel what, your stomach. Yeah it always kicks when I touch it. I do it all the time when you sleeping" "You such a weirdo" I said laying back on him laughing. "Hush and watch the movie" "Oh Jay I never told you it's a girl" he was now the one to sit up. "Are you forreal ?" he said excitedly. "Bruh you gotta name her Aaliyah so I can call her YaYa for short. She gone be so cute" He lifted my shirt and kissed it. I loved how he acted about my pregnancy. He was never threatened by the fact that it wasn't his but he treated me like it was his. He was understanding and almost as caring as August when it came to this kind of stuff. That very thought angered me, though. Why was I comparing Jay to August ?

August

I was at Trey's house playing with Christian and talking to Trey. "I don't know why Sabrina won't let me watch my own son no more. She's acting like cause I'm down I'm gone kill myself or something." Trey laughed. "What you mean by that Bruh ?" "I mean she babying me. She barely let me wipe my own ass by myself. Every time I turn around she's like no August I got it you just lay down. I think she forgets she's pregnant she be moving too much for a pregnant lady" "Wait nigga let me get this straight you over here complaining cause Sabrina taking care of you. Nigga you better cherish that shit cause ain't another woman but Sabrina Finna do some shit like that. Rhena don't even do that for me" "Who said I was complaining shittttttt I could get used to it" I dapped him up and laughed. "Don't get used to it cause as soon as we get Jayden back and and she have that baby she gone be doing all that shit for J.Cole" I straight faced the fuck outta him. "Sabrina ain't Finna do what she do for me for another nigga." "You sure cause word on the street is they getting pretty serious" "Fuck whatever word you heard on whatever street. Sabrina ain't getting serious with him they just chilling. She not going no where" "August she's already left. You mean to tell me you not over Sabrina" I stayed silent. "Awwwww shit nigga you still want her" Trey said a little shocked. "Nigga why is this so shocking to you" "Cause what I don't get is if you want to be with her why you playing games. We both know that if you trying to get back with her you gone have to stop acting like you her friend she still looking at you like a best friend" "It worked last time" "And last time you cheated" Why he had to bring up old shit?
