I'M YOUR GIRL/YOUR MY GIRL/WE'RE ALL GIRLS.....

'The doctors say I can go see my baby today,finally.'

Maya told her group of friends who had come to see how she and the baby were doing. It's been two days since she woke up from her mini coma and four days since she gave birth to her son.

'I can't wait till his out of the NICU so we can see him too. Heard mama Liz say he is a handsome young man.'

Nicole excitedly added

'Yeah his father says so too and the doctor's say he is gaining weight faster than they expected even though they had to put him under the blue light today. They noticed that he had started developing jaundice.'

Gabriella gave Maya's hand a reassuring squeeze.

'Where is Raymond?'

Kelly asked with a smirk showing that she did not care much to know his whereabouts. Maya smiled when he noticed the look on her face,it brought her comfort knowing that Kelly and the rest of her friends would fight with her and for her.

'Mama Regina told me that you wanted his head..... He went to get something to eat while he waits for you to leave.'

The women all laughed when she did a bow like they do in karate movies.

'What's happening with you guys? , I mean now that you have a child?'

Gabriella questioned

'I don't know since he is seeing someone else at the moment. I on the other hand want to concentrate on me and RJ... I don't think we could ever go back to us more because of the fact that he put his hands on me. I don't know how you did it Jade.'

'Oh no honey, Maliq has become very comfortable in the dog house. I haven't forgiven him and he is still trying to make up for that but now we got a whole other problem.'

Jade pouted with her hands on her now five month belly.

'What happened?'

Lily was the one to ask what the other women were wondering

' He found out about the weekend we went to the club with David and them and he actually had the nerve to tell me his mama told him the baby might not even be his. '

Jade let out a deep breath as the women laughed. Roxy asked how he found out and Gabby responded.

'The club has this media page and since we were hanging with the owners,we got to be all over their page.......I also found out from a very angry Byron who barged into the house screaming at me. '

She added when she saw the looks on their faces,of wonder.

' And I thought I had drama'

Roxy joked before Sunshine asked what she meant.

'Lam found my recent results which I had hidden because I knew we would argue again about deciding to stop the chemo and to top that he found out that I was chatting to Isaiah... nothing like that Jade ,,it was just harmless banter.'

She further explained that she managed to explain herself and they were working on making up but has been banned from speaking to Isaiah and company which made the ladies burst into a fit of laughter. Kelly decided to talk about her home drama too.

'Remember I told you guys that Deo and I were trying for a baby .. (the ladies nodded and replied yes).. well I did not mention the fact that I was still taking the pill to you guys and my soon to be husband. Which he found out and as expected he was livid. So I've been doing everything and anything to make amends.'

Kelly smiled as she continued telling them that they were dealing with it and have come to an agreement,of which she explained to the ladies. Since they were all sharing the other ladies decided to share too. Sunshine told them of how Ivan found out about a date she went on with a guy she met at Starbucks and which resulted in him telling her,he was done trying to get her to give him another chance and they have not spoken in weeks.

Nicole told of how Maxine was currently not speaking to her since she found out that she was chatting to one of her ex girlfriends but what made her mad was that Nicki had confessed to Jesse,her former partner, that she still loved her.

Then it was Lillian's turn to tell her friends that she too had a meeting with her ex husband and had been in contact with him for the past two months,which Dominic found out about and to say he was angry was an understatement. He was currently not speaking to her,only engaging with her son's. The girls gave each other relationship advice and left when it was time for Maya to go meet her son.
