The Lyons (The Next Generation)

Chapter 24

Hakeem's POV

"I don't believe you." "You're not pregnant." I stated.

"Oh yes I am" the girl confirmed revealing a pregnant stomach.

"That baby ain't mine," "it can't be." I replied.

"I warn you, now we can do this the hard way, it's your choice." Stated the girl.

"What is your name?" I questioned.

"Wow you've been with that many girls that you can't even remember my name?" She question. "I'm Erica" "Erica Voorhies."

"Listen, I'll give you a week to figure out how you're gonna handle things." "If you deny my baby and won't pay, I will proceed with going public." Erica stated.

I put my hands in my head "Fuck."

Bella's POV

"Mom is it okay if my friend come over for dinner?" I asked.

"Yeah sure why not?" Replied Mom.

"Thanks" I said with a big smile on my face giving Mom a hug.

"So have I met this friend?" Asked Mom.

"No he's a guy from school." I replied.

"A boy huh?" "Does my daughter have a crush?" Mom teased.

"No Mom we're just friends" I blushed.

"Aww Bella has a crush" Prince teased entering the room.

"Shut up." I replied giving Prince a look.

"Is it that dude with the dreads that I always see you talking with." Questioned Prince

"Yeah and we're just friends." I stated.

"We're just friends." Prince replied mocking me.

"Stop." I said hitting Prince on the arm.

"Ouch." "Mom Bella hit me." Said Prince.

"Bella don't hit your brother, and Prince leave your sister alone." Said Mom.

"So Mom when did you first realize you were in love with Dad?" I asked.

"The moment I heard your Dad perform for the first time." Replied Mom.

"Awww" I cooed.

Hakeem's POV

"This is not good Hakeem." Replied Jamal.

"Don't you think I know that man." "Soon as things are going well with me and Tiana this happens." I replied.

"Is there a possibility that the child could be yours?" Asked Jamal. 

"No, well I don't think so." I responded. "What am I gonna do man?" I panicked.

"You should be honest with Tiana." "Tell her everything." Jamal suggested.

"That could destroy my family." "I don't want that."

"Better to be honest with her Hakeem, you don't want this story breaking out and her finding out along with the rest of the world." Replied Jamal.

"I love her man" "Last thing I want to do is hurt her." 

Tiana's POV (FLASHBACK)

"Babe I'm sorry I've shouldn't have done that." I cried.

"How could you work with him again after he took credit for my song "One More Minute." Hakeem snapped.

"The label was putting a lot of pressure on me and wanted me to do the song with Blake." "It was just business and nothing more." I replied.

"It's always just business with you." "I told you that he wanted you, and the fact that you would put our relationship in jeopardy for him." Replied Hakeem.

"I'm not even going to release the song." I replied.

"It doesn't matter, someone leaked it already." "Probably him." Replied Hakeem.

"I could never trust you." "I'm leaving."

"Hakeem wait!"

Tiana's POV (Present Day)

"Babe we need to talk." Replied Hakeem.
