"What do you want?" I asked finally looking back at him. "A proposal" he simply said as I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms so I can create some type of space between us.
"I know exactly who you are Y/N, YLN, 22 years old, good girl by day bad girl...
We made it back home and there has been tension between Erik and I about the conversation we had a few days ago. He was training with Will and I was at Tiffany's house.
Erik seemed angry about something but I was just going to talk to him today, because we needed to sit down and talk. I was feeding Jamaria and staring off until Tiffany said something.
"Baby you okay?" She asked as I turned seeing her sweet smile. "Yes I'm fine" I said placing on a smile.
"Congratulations on the engagement" she said as I smiled some "thank you" I said looking down at a sleeping Jamaria.
"What's wrong?" Tiffany asked as I sighed "I want to marry him I love him too death but he's being selfish" I said.
"By taking this Ricky fight, I know" she said as I nodded "we already saw the repercussions of the first fight why would you go back in, we have a child now and we're engaged and now he wants another child" I started off.
"Another one?" Tiffany asked then made a look

as I giggled "yes exactly my point I don't want another right now, we're still young and we just had one and now he's upset" I said looking down.
"If he doesn't listen make him listen to you sweetheart, talking to him ain't enough then take action" she said.
"I just don't want to be hurt at the end of the day I don't want my child's father six feet deep because he didn't listen and I don't want to marry a person who I already don't have a say in something." I explained.
"Then you give the ring back until he gets it together you're a package and you set standards for certain things if he doesn't want the package then you walk away" she explained as I looked at her
"you give it back so he can have a reason to fight Ricky because right now it's his ego, he doesn't have a real reason and he's not listening to anybody so you take matters into your own hands" she explained as we heard Will and Erik coming in.
Once they reached the living room Erik and I looked at each other then rolled our eyes. "Hey ma" he said kissing her cheek "hi" she said then looked at me.
"Yeah I'll see you guys later" I said getting up as Erik helped me get Jamaria things together. We said our goodbyes and left.
The car ride was quiet besides low music playing. "We need to talk" he said as I nodded "yeah we do" I said looking over at him as he looked at me.
We got out the car and I got the diaper bag as he got Jamaria. We walked into the house. He placed Jamaria to bed then came in the room closing our door.
"Why didn't you tell me you were back on birth control?" He asked eyeing me down as I looked confused "um was there a need to tell you?" I asked as he sighed.
"Y/N I want another baby and you knew that" he said as I looked at him "give me a reason why you want another?" I asked.
"To expand our family, I love yo-" I cut him off "do you?" I asked as he looked at me. "What you mean I would have never proposed to you if I didn't" he said.
"Then why go and fight Ricky again, why put me through this again and not only is it me your family and your daughter also" I explained.
"Look Y/N I love you but we not going to talk about this again I'm taking that fight for me whether anybody with me or not" he said as I looked taken back.
"So you'll risk anything to fight him?" I asked "if that's what I got to do" he said as I shook my head. "You'll risk not being in me or your daughters life, that's selfish as fuck and that don't sound like Erik that sounds more like killmonger than anything" I said.
"It's always been the same person baby girl" he said as I shook my head then Got a bag out the closet starting to pack some clothes.
"Where you going?!" He asked "Erik I can't be with you" I stated taking my ring off. "You don't care about nobody but yourself and I can't be with nobody like that, you'll risk everything just to get in the ring with Ricky including us and you think I'm going to stay?" I asked.
"You're not going anywhere" he stated crossing his arms as I crossed mine "it's either me or you" I stated and gave him the ring "when this fight is over I'll talk but until then leave me alone because that was a selfish move and this is why I don't want another kid" I admitted.
"You don't think I can win that's the problem" he said as I looked at him " no I'm being cautious I actually want my daughters father to be in her life, I want to walk down the aisle to my future husband but shit got to change so like I said it's either you leaving out this crib or I am and if I am have fun looking for me" I stated as he eyed me getting a duffle bag packing some of his things.
We walked to Jamaria's room as he gave her a kiss saying his good bye for the night. We walked downstairs to the door , "so you not going to let me see my baby until the fight?" He asked "I'm not shady you can see her but there is no us Erik and you don't care that's the problem" I said as his eyes started watering some.
He tried giving me a kiss but I leaned back "I'll be back for you two" he stated as I nodded and closed the door behind him then sighed. "I know you will" I simply said locking the door.
✨Erik✨
I started driving to my mother and Will's house. I was beyond pissed Y/N claims I'm selfish when I give her everything.
I pulled up to the house and rung the doorbell as my mother opened the door then looked down at my bag letting me in.
"Ma She kic-" she cut me off "oh I know, and you're being foolish to let a great woman like her slip through your hands" she said as I sighed.
"You better hope she comes back to you after this" My mother said "but she doesn't get it" I stated.
"No she gets it you don't get it there's nothing to prove by fighting him yeah you defending a tittle but you can do that with anybody else why Ricky?" She asked as I just stood there.
"Your acting just like your father and this ambition is what drove me away and I'm watching you make the same mistake with Y/N." She explained.
"This is not about them" I stated as she looked at me and faintly smiled " then I rest my case" she started off walking upstairs but then stopped. "I just hope you're in your daughters life" she said then went upstairs.
I went in the guest room and took off my shirt sitting on the edge of my bed pinching the bridge of my nose. I tried calling Y/N but she didn't answer.
