The Aftermath

71🥀

July 1997
Justine:

'Oh don't cry, daddy gonna be here soon' I walked around with Brie as she started to cry

Me and Tupac decided to co parent separately, this could've pissed him due to his childhood but I don't want to fall in that trap.

I heard the doorbell go guessing that was Tupac outside.

You know, I should really start giving him keys to my house since we might be doing this for some time.

I had Brie-Ella in one arm as I got my other free arm to grab the keys that was on the counter.

'Mary!' I said shocked 'What are you doing here?' I asked

'What no Hello' she said sounding hurt as she invited herself in

'I thought it was Tupac' I said

'Well, I'm not' She smartly said 'lemme see baby' Mary cheesed her ass of at the site of Brie

'Awh she's so cute man, how many months is she now?' She asked

'Just turning a month' I said

'Ohh She gon' Look like her daddy' she stated

'Nah man give my baby back, this girl gon' look like me' I stretched my hand out for Brie

See this my firstborn and I'm not gonna have the results of Brie looking like Pac when I carried her for 9 months and nearly died because I was using all my might to push her out.

'Dang Girl' Mary pushes her head back

'I see y'all can't lock a door' Pac Said making me jump

'Don't do that man, I could've dropped the baby' I said

'Well song leave the door open then' he smart mouthed me

Nigga.....

'Wassup Mary' Pac leaned in to hug her

'All good, all good you' she said

'Yeah I'm good' he said 'now where's my favourite girl'

'Umm I'm not your-'

'I was talking about Brie' he said making me feel like an idiot

I just passed her to him because I could feel him pissing me and I ain't wanna do something I would regret.

'Nah you know I'm playing, you know your my favourite girl' he licked his lips at me

'Hmm.....'

I went to the living room to get all of Brie-Ella's bag with all the essentials she needs. I'm really going to miss her man, I wish I could have her all the time but Pac gotta look after his daughter too.

'So how long you planning on keeping her for?' I asked

'Maybe two weeks' he said

'Two weeks, I wanna see my child too' I reached a higher pitch

'Chill, you can always come over' he suggested

'Stay over and get myself pregnant with you again'

'Damn you make that seem as if it's a bad thing' Pac sounded hurt

'Oh well' I said

'I'll drop Brie off next week if that's fine with you' He said

'Okay then'

We said our goodbyes and I locked the doors afterwards. Mary has this weird look on her face and I didn't like it at all.

'You just love to push him away' she said

'I'm not pushing him away' I said

'Why don't y'all co parent in the same house together, y'all get along' she insisted

'I don't wanna fall in that trap and mess my life up again'

'What trap? And your life isn't messed up' she said

'That's what you think' I walked over to the kitchen

'Let's change the subject anyways, when you gonna get back out there?' She asked

'When I'm ready' I simply said getting food from the fridge

'I think you're ready now' she said

'Too much is on my plate though' I thought 'I got Brie to think about, my album I need to finish and my relationship with Tupac.....' I trailed at the end

'Tupac, why is he a concern to you now?' Mary got curious

'I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped out my mouth' I created an excuse

To be honest, I don't know why I said his name.....

'Anyways Justine you know we can help you out' she said

'No, it's my responsibility not yours' I said

'Justine everyone gonna need help someone from someone else, don't turn away from help'
