Omniscient POV -

"When our eyes met I knew Then that that was Marcus .. I could never forget that face" Layla thought as they stood for a couple of minutes staring at each other . After a few Minutes of Silence and taking each other in Marcus finally broke the silence . "Layla" Marcus asked as He continued admiring every inch of her body . She look much better than he remembered . And her being pregnant made her have a certain glow that made her even more beautiful . "Hi" she said Nervously . Smirking Jay Watched silently . Overwhelmed with Emotions Layla Cried Silently as she walked too a chair and sat down holding her head in her hands .

Once again Marcus Stood Silently watching her cry but this time considering He was older and smarter he wasn't confused . Clearing his throat he asked "So you were Pregnant" he said Without emotion as he stared at her Not knowing whether he should be mad at her because she didn't tell him or mad at himself because he didn't care enough too try too find her and find out . She slowly Wiped her face as she looked up and shook her head yes with a Small smile . Nodding he took a deep breathe "And for four years you decided not too tell me" he said With A slight Mug and anger evident in his voice . Still trying too Control her feelings but unable too because her pregnancy hormones she snapped "No For FIVE years you Decided too disappear outta thin air . I went back too tell you 2 months into the pregnancy and you were nowhere to be found I searched everywhere in that area and a few other places and no one could tell me anything" she slightly yelled . He shook his head and started to say something until he heard A yawn .

Zamari sat up yawning as she looked for her mom . Once she seen her she instantly was scared Because she was crying "Mommy what wrong" she asked staring at her . Layla cursed at herself before she wiped her face with her hand and smiled "Nothing Baby Come here" she said as she walked over too her and Reached for her . Instantly Mari Wrapped her arms around her Neck and Snuggled into her moms Neck comfortable in her arms . Marcus cleared his throat as he looked at HIS daughter . He was still stuck on the fact that he had a kid . "Whats her name" he asked as he Stared at them both . Layla rolled her eyes "Zamari Nycole Davidson" . He instantly smiled hearing his Last name at the end . He walked over too them and stuck his hands out too Mari "This is your dad Zamari" Layla said as Mari slowly sat up and got into his arms .They looked each other up and down at the same time and then Looked at each other and laughed . Confused Layla asked what was funny . Jay stood up and smirked "y'all look like Identical twins" Layla nodded her head agreeing as she watched them interact with each other . After about a Hour in half of them all talking and Zamari getting to know her dad a little bit she fell asleep in Jay's arms . "Alright so Y'all staying with me until We figure out what we gone do about this whole Kevin situation " he said as he walked over too Jay and grabbed a sleeping Zamari and walked towards the door .

They walked down the long hallway and into the lobby going through security and out the door . "Its the red GT8 in the back" he stated as he handed her the car keys she nodded and walked towards the car . He watched her walk away shaking his head at himself he already Wondering how he was gonna control himself while they lived with him . Layla walked to the car and unlocked it getting in the passenger seat and starting the car . She watched Marcus and Jay talk wondering what was being said . Thinking about everything that's happened she wondered how her life was turned upside down so fast . She was tired , stressed out and worried mostly about her and Zamari's Well being and how her and Marcus co-parenting would work considering he's probably already moved on by now . As soon as she walked away he turned too jay . "So what about kevin" ? Jay asked looking at Marcus . "He don't know they're here yet cause I didn't wanna call him until I seen that y'all had them both or at least Her but now ...." He shook his head "I'd be a fool too send my baby girls back over there" he said staring down at A sleeping Mari . Jay smirked "Girls ? You just seen her again and you already claiming her as yours" he laughed . Marcus mugged him "Whatever' Man but I was thinking we just Tell him we couldn't find her . I could call him later tonight after I get them settled" . Jay's face instantly twisted up into a frown "I think you and Layla Need too talk about all that went on in that house between him , her , and your child before you go thinking you just wanna let him continue walking around on this earth" he said shaking his head calming himself down . Marcus shook his head "Nah ion think I wanna know" he said shaking his head . "Regardless of what you WANT to know you NEED to find out especially when it involves my Niece and your child" he said looking at Marcus seriously . "You right Dawg imaa' see If she wanna' talk tonight" Marcus said dapping him up "Imaa' hit you up later thou , You know what to do" He said changing Zamari around on his arm . Jay nodded and started to walked away after he kissed Mari's forehead . Marcus mugged him "Don't no other man kiss on my daughter except me" he said as he started towards the car . Jay laughed "She like me better though" he yelled smirking before Marcus opened the back door to his car and strapped her into the seat belt making sure not to wake her . He shook his head lightly chuckling After he opened his own door and hopped in putting his own seat belt on .
