Jacob POV
I walked inside seeing Chevy jumping and playing with bianca. "bianca where's momma?" I asked kissing her cheek. "there!" she said pointing to the kitchen. I threw down my keys and walked into the kitchen. "heeey!" she said hiding something behind her back. I kissed her and looked over her shoulder. "bre? is that another bucket of chicken?" I asked. she nodded staring at the floor. this girl act like she ain't ate in 20 years. I grabbed the bucket from her putting it in the fridge. "hey. you need to stop eating so much." I said to her. she nodded and walked out the kitchen holding onto her stomach. she's only have about 3 months left till that baby come. we went to the clinic just last month to get a check up. then we went again yesterday to see what gender it was and it was a boy. another one to go. her ex been around asking for her but I wouldn't let him see her. I ain't know my cousin dated bre till he showed up a couple of months back when he was released from prison. his momma ain't want him around because all he do is get high, kill people he don't like and steals people shit. the reason why he was jail was. well I don't really know but bre does. I'm sure she doesn't want to talk about it. I walked out the kitchen seeing bre laying on the couch while bianca rubs on her stomach. bianca is getting smarter by the minute. when I first adopted her she was 3 and hard to understand. now she's 4 and understands everything now that I had put her in that daycare thing across the lot. "aye what y'all doing?" I asked sitting on the couch. bre lifted her head and threw it back down on my lap. "Bianca's hands are so soft." she said as bianca rubs up and down her stomach. "break time. break time!" she whined. I signaled her to go play while I take her place. "alright let the master show you how its done" I said slowly rubbing my hands onto her stomach. she laughed and playfully slapped my hand.
"okay okay that's enough Jacob."
"what? I thought I was doing good"
I rubbed my hands together before setting it back on her stomach.
"No you were doing a good job"
"then why I have to stop"
"it feels weird and it tickles."
she looked up at me locking my fingers in with hers. bianca came out with a cup of lemonade in her left hand. her shirt looked like she just got out the shower. "aye bianca why your shirt so wet?" I asked before getting up. I helped bre up before going into the kitchen. this girl done spilled all the juice on the floor not even bothered to tell us she wasted it. bre and I had to clean it up. but no worries she's only four.
"mommy daddy's here!" bianca said with joy. bre hid behind me as I made my way to the door. it was Johnson big ass. "what up cuzzo!" he said walking in. bianca came running as he held his hands out for her to run. "daddy!" she shouted. "aye bianca that ain't your daddy anymore." I said to her. "yes he is Jacob!" she said cuddling her face into his neck. I chocked on thin air when she called me out by my name. I looked over at bre and she just shrugged. JoJo smiled and looked over at Bre also. "oh so you pregnant?" he said putting down Bianca. "JoJo don't do nothing stupid" I said pulling him back. this guy loves to beat on people especially women. I remember when we was teens and he use to beat on his sister all the time just because he thought she was better than him. she died just when I hit 19 after my birthday aunt Lisa came over and told momma that Jayla was beaten to death. the only person who was last seen with her was JoJo big ass. so I know he did it. but momma and aunt Lisa didn't believe me
BRE POV
"oh so you pregnant" Johnson said. I scooted closer to Jacob when he came approaching me. "yes" I said. he pulled me to the side and gave me a death stare. "cmon we need to talk" he said walking outside. I looked at Jacob. but he crossed his arms staring at Bianca because she betrayed him. "let's go!" he shouted. I jumped and followed him as we stood near the driveway.
"why you ain't tell me I Have another child on the way" he said leaning against his car. I stood staring at him not saying a word.
"Johnson the only child we had together was bianca only cause you raped me!"
" bitch I didn't rape you!.. and whatchu mean? so that unborn child ain't mine?"
"No!" I flinched when he came and gripped my arm with his huge hard hands. "oh so you cheated on me?" he asked. I shook my head in fear. "n-no I told you we was through! JoJo I don't want nothing to do with you nor those people you hang with". I said trying to pull away but his grip got even tighter. I felt nothing but pain as he jugged his nails into my arm. "those people are my homies. you lucky that thing is in your stomach bitch! oh and I'm coming back right after that beast is born so be ready" he said pushing me into the bushes. he got Into the car and sped out the driveway. I struggled getting up with nothing but cuts and bruises
all over me. I walked inside trying to make eye contact with Jacob but he was too busy arguing with a four year old. I need to get away.. far away. I walked upstairs packing my stuff. "that's it bianca ima slap you!" Jacob yelled coming into the room. I looked at him as Bianca ran to me. "you is not Finna put your hands on my child Jacob" I said zipping up my suitcase. "I was just trying to teach her a lesson. wait where you going?" he asked.
"I wanna move back to New York"
"for what baby.. I thought you like it in ATL."
"JoJo is out of jail! Jacob if I stay here and he shows up again he's gonna hurt me!"
"what? no he's not. not when I'm around"
"oh really?.. where were you when he threw me into the bushes?.. exactly" I grabbed my bags and dragged them out the room. Jacob ran after me. right before I can walk downstairs he grabbed my arm to face him. "Jacob let go you're hurting me!" I said in pain. he looked at me with a confused look on his face. "what? I didn't even grip you that hard." he said rubbing my arm.
"look what JoJo did"
"he did that"
"yess!"
"I swear if he put his hands on you again ima put my foot up his ass."
I smiled and pulled him into a hug.
"so will you stay?" he asked. I looked away nodded. "fine. but you can't leave me here alone okay?" I said slapping his wrist. "I promise".
