The nursery was finished for the babies to arrive. Piper was in her last month of pregnancy and the couple was more than ready for the babies to come.
"Josh?"Piper questioned.
"Wassup?"He questioned as he sat on the end typing on his phone. He son turned it off and placed it on the desk next to him.
"I'm scared"
Piper paused and turned towards him.
"I know it's gonna be painful and I'm just scared. What if something happens and I-" Piper was cut off by Josh.
"Stop thinking negative babe"
"It's hard not to. I've never delivered a child before and I'm just not sure what to do. We went to classes and everything, but I don't know"Piper sighed.
"Since we are going out to eat with your family today, ask them some questions to prepare"Josh smiled.
"Two baddest bitches have arrived!"Bretman yelled as him and Candace walked inside the nursery. "Oh shit it's cute as hell in here"
"Thanks, we decorated it ourselves"Piper stood up. "Hey Josh, we are going to the mall before lunch, wanna join us?"
"Nah I'm okay, August and Chris invited me somewhere"Josh sighed.
"Oh shit"Candace winced. "Good luck with Chris, you know he don't play about Piper"
"You want us to take Aaliyah?"Piper questioned while taking her hair out of the messy bun. Josh nodded.

"Look girl, birth may be painful, but trust me it's worth it"Candace began. "Giving birth to Rain was so painful, but once you see that face, you fall in love"
"Wow bitch, that's the most serious thing you've ever said"Bretman laughed. Candace bumped him and rolled her eyes. "Where is Rain anyways?"
"Her stupid ass dad"
When he found out she was pregnant, he immediately took no part of it. Sooner or later, Rains father came around.
"Titi C, my daddy says that cussing isn't a good thing to do"Aaliyah softly spoke.
"Tell your daddy to practice what he preaches"Candace chuckled. "But for you hunny, I won't curse"
"Thanks titi"Aaliyah grinned. She grabbed Pipers hand as they walked along the mall. "Mommy, can daddy come to the mall?"
"I'll ask him"
Piper sent Josh a quick text.

"Oh shit, you know what we forgot"Piper giggled as they walked along in the mall. "We need to get a car seat. Only one baby has one"
"Shol' do"Josh nodded.
Aaliyah began to whimper and let out a loud groan. She was more than ready to go home. Bretman looked down at the younger child clearly not ready to hear her cry.
"You better get your act together right now" Josh warned while looking down at her. Aaliyah sighed while attempting to hold the tears in.
"Mommy"Aaliyah pouted while looking up at her.
"Lili, we are almost done okay?"Piper sighed while giving her hand a light squeeze.
"I just wanna leave"She began to cry while taking in sharp breathes. "Mommy can we please go home"
"Aaliyah, I told you about crying. Get yo act together before I give you a whooping"Josh warned again.
"Bretman and I can take her to the car. You guys go get the car seat"Candace tucked in her lips. "Come her titi baby"
Aaliyah reaches up her arms and Candace picked her up. The three of them walked out of the mall.
"Y'all have to stop spoiling her"Josh sighed while they walked to the home store.
"We aren't spoiling her Josh. The poor child had been here for too long and we forgot her stroller. Stop being mean to her"
"I ain't being mean Pip, she just has to learn how to not cry to get what she wants" Josh sighed.
Piper nodded and they both walked in the baby area.
"Here you look for a car seat and I'm gonna go on the other isle to find some onesies" Piper slowly smiled.
"We have enough onesies"Josh chuckled.
Piper shrugged and walked to the other isle.
As scanned through the clothes, she felt a tug on her arm. Piper jumped and turned around to face with Ryder.
"Ryder"Piper nervously said. "Look i dont want to talk okay, just let me do my business and you do yours"
Piper attempted to walk off but he grabbed her arm pulling her back to her original spot.
"You ain't going anywhere"He smirked and tightened his grip. "You thought you could get away from me? Josh ain't here to save you"
"Let go of me"Piper angrily yelled. "You were abusive and still are"
His hands soon traveled to her neck and began to choke her. Piper gasped for air attempting to yell Josh's name.
Josh held the car seat in his hand as he walked on the isle. He spotted the altercation and threw it down. Josh immediately ran and punch Ryder as hard as he could.
Ryder's hands were soon released and Piper gasped for air. Josh continued throwing blows after blows.
"Josh can we go please"Piper cried. "Come on knock it off let's just go"
Josh let out a huff and kicked Ryder in the stomach before stopping. He grabbed Pipers hand and walked out of the store.
"Josh slow down, I can't breathe"Piper cried while they both stopped in their tracks. Piper began to regain her breath.
Josh examined his girlfriend checking to we if anything was wrong. He let out a sighed and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm so sorry"He apologized. His voice cracked. "I should have went with you Piper. I'm so sorry"
