"How do you think they'll react? You think they'll be happy?" Lyric asked fixing O'shea's tie. "Why wouldn't they be? I know I am." Lyric smiled.

They were taking their parents to dinner and breaking the news about the new baby. Lyric was nervous but O'shea was excited and he knew his parents would be.

"Why you look like that?" O'shea asked. Lyric let his tie go and ran her hand down it. "I'm just nervous." "Why?" He frowned.

"Because we're not even married and we have two kids-" "Then let's get married." O'shea shrugged. Lyric rolled her eyes. "I knew you were gonna say that."

"Why not though?" "Marriage isn't always the answer O'shea,I don't want to get married just because we have kids..I want us to get married because we love eachother and wanna spend the rest of our lives together."

O'shea nodded slowly. "I do love you." "And I know you do, but me being pregnant again doesn't mean we need to get married now. I need to know if you're mentally ready for all that."

Lyric kissed his cheek then walked out of their bedroom. O'shea just stood where he was thinking everything through.

"Mila." Lyric walked inside Mila's room without knocking and frowned when she saw her playing in some makeup. Lyric's makeup.

"Oh hell no." Mila sighed. "I just wanted to try it." Lyric took the brush out of her hand and packed her things up. "What did I tell you about touching my makeup huh? This shit is expensive."

"I know but..I just wanted to look like you." Lyric's face softened up. "You're so pretty and-" "So are you,you don't need makeup."

"But you use it." Lyric sat at the edge of her bed. "I don't have to but I'm grown.. I'm getting old." Mila turned back at the mirror.

"Who are you trying to impress?" Lyric asked. Mila sighed. "You gotta promise you won't tell Daddy." Mila said. "Shoot."

Mila sighed. "I..like someone." Lyric smiled. "But he likes Miraiya." "Oh." Lyric twisted her lips. "First of all you're too young." Lyric stated.

Mila laughed. "And second,You're beautiful and you don't need to change yourself for no boy. Okay? If he likes you then he'll like you the way you are."

Mila nodded slowly. "Okay." "Okay,now let's take this makeup off of you." Lyric grabbed some makeup remover wipes and started on her daughter's face.

"Let me get the barbeque ribs." O'shea said handing his menu back to the waitress. "I'll have the jumbo shrimp,potatoes and steak." Lyric said.

Naomi raised a brow. "You gonna eat all of that?" She asked. Lyric gave her a fake smile and picked her drink up.

"So this is nice,everyone together like this..what's the occasion?" Cube asked. "We can't just take our parents out to dinner?"

O'shea asked. "We didn't say that,this restaurant is very nice-" "And fancy." Kim added to what Naomi said. Mimi nodded.

"And y'all never took us out before so what's up?" Eric asked. Even though he and Lyric wasn't really on speaking terms he still decided to accept her invite to dinner.

He wasn't gonna be petty. Mila looked at her parents waiting for their response. "We're..gonna have another baby." O'shea said grabbing Lyric's hand.

Everyone smiled. "Really?" Naomi asked. "Yea." "That's great, so when are you two getting married?" Kim asked. Lyric frowned.

"Um,who said we were getting married?" Lyric asked. Kim looked at them both. "You both have two kids.. I think you two should get married."

"We're not getting married just because we have another kid on the way." O'shea said. "And why not?" Kim asked. Cube sighed.

"Baby if they don't want to get married right now then they don't have to." Cube said. Kim scoffed. "I was just trying to help."

Lyric sighed and grabbed her drink pressing it up against her lips.

"That was great." Lyric spoke sarcastically as they walked through the door. "It could've been worse." O'shea said. "True." Mila walked straight to her room making sure she slammed the door.

Lyric closed her eyes and sighed. "I got her." O'shea put his things down and walked to Mila's room. He knocked a couple times before he twisted the doorknob but it was locked.

"Mila,open the door." "No." She mumbled. O'shea sighed and leaned against the door. "Can you talk to me?" He asked. "Why?" She asked.

He heard her sniffling through the door. "Y'all have another baby on the way and you'll forget all about me." "That's not true." O'shea frowned.

"Yes it is true." She said. O'shea twisted his lips. "Your mother and I love you,we'll always love you and nothing or nobody will ever change that."

O'shea said. Mila was silent listening to him speak. "You'll always be my babygirl." "What if it's a girl?" Mila asked.

"Then y'all will both be my babygirls,I love you both equally and not more than the other." Mila didn't say a word after that so O'shea stepped away from her room and walked into their room.

"So?" Lyric asked as she stripped out of her clothes. "She wouldn't budge and she locked herself in her room." Lyric shook her head.

"I'm trying not to go off on her." "Yea don't, she already feel some type of way..just give her some space." Lyric smacked her lips.

"She's not even a teenager yet and you want me to give her space?" Lyric asked. O'shea touched her shoulders. "Yes." Lyric rolled her eyes and O'shea kissed her forehead.

"Shower?" He asked. "Mhm."

Meanwhile, "You think Kim is right? You think they should get married?" Naomi asked Eric as they made their bed up.

Eric shrugged. "It's their choice, they're grown as fuck." Naomi nodded her head and heard Eric's phone vibrate again. Eric sighed and Naomi frowned.

"That must really be important if they keep blowing your phone up." Naomi said. Eric shook his head. "Who is it?" She asked.

Eric licked his lips and looked down at the silk covers. "Its just some kid claiming to be my son..thats all." Naomi frowned.

"Huh?" She asked. Eric looked up at her. "When did this start?" She asked. "Not too long ago-" "And you didn't think to tell me?" She asked.

"I just did." Naomi huffed. "How old is he?" She asked. "Twenty three." He answered. He knew that if he was his son he didn't cheat on Naomi.

They weren't together when the kids was three..They were broken up. "Well if he is yours you didn't cheat on me." Naomi rested her hand on her head thinking.

"What are you gonna do?" She asked. Eric shrugged. He wanted to ignore him but the fact that he could have another child out there got to him.

Naomi sighed running her fingers through her short hair. "I can't believe this." She mumbled. "I'm sorry." Naomi took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Baby-" "Let's just go to sleep,I don't want to talk about this right now." She got under the covers and Eric stood there.

Naomi wiped her tears and cried silently.
