Buried Treasure (a boondocks fanfiction)

Exposing

Michael POV
Welp things was going smooth,kinda.
Riley wouldn't acknowledge Huey's presence. He and Jazmine both still held some resentment towards him and Huey wasn't being nice to the birthday girl and he told me thought something was rather off about her but he couldn't put his finger on it but hey at least we was all together and the food was hot.
     Mr.Freeman had the dinner ready and out on the table. I sat at the first head of the table on the side of me was Cindy, Mia, Dasia, Nyla, Ruckus then Huey. Mr.Freeman was at the other head of the table and on his side was Rummy,Mr.Wuncler,Tom,Sarah,Jazmine,Ed the 3rd then Riley.
       After Mr.Freeman blessed the food we finally got to dig in. Mr.Freeman brought back two separate plates for Nyla and Huey.
"Here you go lil baby steamed vegetables and Quinoa. Huey I made a special plate for you too so you ain't gotta worry about the swine."
       Every get together Mr.Freeman would make a special entree for Nyla because she didn't want to eat any of the meats 'fried chicken is murder' type shit and Huey didn't like meat either. Maybe that's another thing they have in common.
      Nobody spoke up until Mr.Wuncler did.
"Robert this meal was exceptional you outdid yourself this time."
"Thank you kindly Ed."
"So Robert how do you feel having your boy back?"
"Oh you don't know how good it feels to have my entire family whole again." Mr.Freeman had a gleam in his eye. He was truly happy to see Huey one last time. Mr.Wuncler spoke again but to Huey this time
"So what have you been up to this entire time? Where have you been?"
"I have a spot in Texas but the work I do doesn't let me stay in just one place so I get to travel around a lot."
"Well that's very good. What is this fine work you do?"
"I can't really say"
"Oh nonsense I'm sure you can it's honest work isn't it?"
"I would prefer not"
"Oh well then that's too bad."
Mr.Wuncler was disappointed and continued to eat his food. Mr.DuBois was next to speak .
"Doesn't this feel like old times? All you kids together under one roof at the same table again."
I said hell yeah real loud and Cindy cheered. Huey,Jazmine & Riley just kept quite and the little kids where talking amongst themselves about the animosity in the room.
"Oh come on kids don't be like that" then he turned to Jazmine. "Jazmine,you're excited right?"
"............"
"Well.....o...K then" he said scratching the back of his neck then before talking to Riley "Riley isn't it great to have your brother back?"
"No." Riley said coldly
"Really?" Tom asked with confused look on his face? "Why not?"
         Although he took it better than Jazmine,Riley was really affected by Huey's absence too. We spent so long finding him that we eventually gave up but Riley never stopped until 2 years ago. He almost dropped out of college because he was so depressed. Huey left when Riley & Jazmine needed him most.
"Why? I don't give fuck about that nigga."
"But he's your brot.."
"Man that gay nigga a bitch! Fuck him."Riley got louder and the next to speak was Huey.
"I still see you're an unintelligent tool."
"Shut up punk! What? you leave for a while and come back like it's all good?"
"Riley shut ya dumb ass up."
"Nigga you ain't the boss of me!"
"Boys this isn't necessary" Mr.DuBois said.
Mia whispered to me "Well this is escalating quickly."
"Man fuck all this!" Riley said frustrated
"BOYS!" Mr.Freeman yell at them "what the hell?"
"I ain't doing nothing Riley is just full of it." Huey answered before Riley got up from his chair
"Man fuck you Hater! Fuck all y'all! Y'all letting this nigga off that easy?"
"Riley,calm down" Mr.Dubois told Riley.
"This nigga abandoned us. All of us. Tom you should be the most angry"
"I was but I got over it. I had no choice."
What happened was after Huey left something happened and it changed everything for the two remaining Freemans & the DuBois. Mr.Dubois was PISSED and blamed himself for letting it happen and Huey for not being here to deal with the situation but Mrs.DuBois had a solution. In the end everyone made do with it and everything worked out fine. Well sorta. It wasn't all good.
Mrs.Dubois was next to speak
"Riley were over it and everything is fine now"
"Naw fuck all that noise."
Huey was angry now.
"Damm Riley. What's wrong with you? You jealous cause I got out and you're still stuck in miserable old Woodcrest?"
Riley just looked at him with a blank expression on his face as if he was in total disbelief of what he just heard. Then he laughed and said something else.
"Aye bro you think I'm jealous of you? Nah bruh unlike you I don't fuck up and leave my girl to deal with my problems. I'm not a coward."
I already knew where this was headed. Riley was about to do something we all vowed not to ever do. He was to spill the beans and fuck it up for everybody.
"Problems? Nigga what problems? I didn't leave no girl with my problems"
He's really about to blow this up.
Huey was honestly confused at this point. He probably thinks Riley is talking about Angela but he's not. Huey and Angela broke up a month before he left after that she got married and had a child who is now one of Mia's close friends.
"Michael,Cindy what's going on?" My little sister whispered to me & Cindy
Oh you don't wanna know about the shit storm that's about to happen.
"What the hell are you saying?" Huey asked him confused. Riley while still angry and had more base in his voice this time
"Nigga you the one that left Jazmine high and dry with a baby and the DuBois had to take care of it!!"
Wow.
Huey just sat there.
He couldn't say shit else.
Stunned.
Riley really said that in front of everyone including the two people who didn't know.
Now all hell is about to break loose.
"RILEY!" Jazmine who was now furious yelled
"Just shut the fuck up! NOW!"
"What Jaz? You don't want it to get out? That sweet lil 'innocent' Jazmine got pregnant by him and didn't even take care of the baby? That you left yo kid with your parents?"
"STOP IT!" Jazmine then burst out into tears.
"You know what? You and mcHater belong together. Y'all get rid of everything ya don't want and leave ya supposed loved ones behind then move on." then he sat back down.
And that's how it all went downhill from there None of the adults said a word. The Wunclers &Rummy looked shocked. The DuBois was embarrassed. Mr.Freeman looked really disappointed.Huey was still frozen. Jazmine was still crying. Riley went back to eating his food like he didn't just drop an entire bomb.
All Cindy and I could do was look at everyone and listen to the kids ask crazy questions but the craziest had to be from Nyla, of all people.
"Wait, so Sissy you have a secret baby?" Everyone except Huey just looked at her. Jazmine cried even harder.
She really hasn't figured it out yet?
"Where is he?" She looked around the room like she was looking for someone.
"Michael do we know him?" Mia asked me
Damn!
"As a matter of fact you do" I responded and took a huge sip of my wine. Dasia was next to ask
"So does he go to school with us or naw?"
"Well for one" Riley spoke again "it's not a he"
The three girls was shocked and looked at each other.
Nyla still was asking questions.
"So mom & dad took care of her?"
The DuBois still embarrassed turned the other way ignoring her.
"Cindy?Micheal? did you watch the baby too?"
Really? Her and Huey are both geniuses but man they both was pretty slow at reading between the line.
"Well technically" Cindy began " we still watching the baby"
"So how come I never seen her?" Cindy ignored that one.
"Did mr.wuncler know about this?"
"I have always suspected but today it has been confirmed" Wuncler replies
"What about you Uncle Ruckus?"
"I knew the moment the lil monkey learned how to crawl and eat bananas .....I just didn't say nothing. Sarah was doing a good job with the lil nappy headed jungle baby. As you can see the mulatto's baby daddy was a worthless nigga."
Well that wasn't needed. Man got one foot in the grave and still spewing that BS.
Mia and Dasia was next to speak up.
"Wait so we know her?" Mia asked me then I nodded my head yes. Dasia spoke next
"And she goes to school with us?" I nodded yes again. They looked at their friend then at each other and said "Oh" in unison.
Then Mia and Dasia realized who Jazmine secret baby was. They said nothing else and continued to sit there and eat their food.
    Huey eventually woke up from being dazed out to speak
"Jazmine? So you telling me this little girl is mine?"
Jazmine couldn't look up or say anything else she just kept crying and nodded her head to say yes. Jazmine knew that he knew exactly who this little girl was. Huey finally just got up from the table and left.
"So what happened to her?"Nyla obviously wouldn't drop it so cindy had to get up and intervene.
"Nyla why don't me, you and your girls go open your presents already?"
"But I wanna stay and fi...." she started but Riley interrupted her.
"Aye C-Murph you ain't gotta take her nowhere she needs to know too."
Cindy listened and sat back in her chair
Damm Riley it was working.
    Nyla continued her questioning but to Mrs.DuBois& Jazmine.
"Mom, Jazmine? How come you aren't talking? How come you never told me about this niece I never met?"
"Well sweetheart" Mrs.DuBois spoke "we feel like it's too big for something for you to know and you aren't ready"
"Oh she's ready" Riley but in "she's old enough"
"NO.SHES.NOT!" Mrs.DuBois face face was turning red. She did not want this to get out.
"But I am......why don't you want me to know?"
After Nyla said that Mrs.DuBois looked at her with these sad eyes clouded with tears she tried to say something but nothing came out.
"Uncle Reezy who is this kid?"
And that's all it took. That's all it took for Riley to expose a 13 year secret the DuBois and the Freemans kept with the help of Cindy and myself. Riley is going to be the reason Nyla knows the truth. I think she should know too but not like this. This was something the DuBois & Jazmine should handle not him.
All he had to do next was say the next statement to come out his mouth next.
"Ny why don't you take a look in the mirror. You'll find the answer."
Nyla was deep in thought now trying to interpret what Riley was implying.
"Wait a minute are you saying that I'm ..."
"YES"Jazmine who was crying and hasn't said anything for while finally snapped and confessed.
"I gave birth to you........I'm your MOTHER......and you're my daughter. And Huey is your real father."
Nyla had that same stunned look Huey had.
The secret was finally out and she finally knew. She was in total shock.
She then looked to the DuBois. The couple she always thought was her parents.
"Is this true?"
They couldn't answer her
"So everyone here lied to me?"
".........."
"Why?"
"............"

Today was the first I've ever seen Nyla cry since she was a baby. She was really upset.
"I'm going home"  she angrily stormed out and slammed the door behind her. Being concerned friends, Mia and Dasia went after her.
For five minutes awkward silence took over the room.

"DAMMIT BOY!" Mr.Freeman yells at Riley
"You just had to go fuck everything up. Where's my belt?"
"But Grandad she was..."
"Aww shut up. When I come back I'm beat yo ass! Damm boy just had to tell lil baby that. Ruined that poor little family. Couldn't let it be could you. I'm too old for this..."

   I knew she was gonna find out anyway just I never imagined it like this. Riley never agreed with Nyla being raised by the DuBois anyway and always was vocal about it. Quite frankly I agreed with him. Jazmine should've been raising her but things happen. Now Nyla and Huey both know the truth and surprisingly neither one could handle it.
Huey always said the truth hurts.
End chapter
Well the secret is out. I know I took too long on this chapter and it's a little messy but I tried my best. It didn't translate like I hoped it would. I thought of this scene from Tyler Perry's "Madeas big happy family" What's gonna happen next for Nyla now?  I made a seating chart so you can imagine where everyone sat in the image. S/n Tyga with braids looks like an older Riley so that's who I picked for Riley
