5 months later...

I was in the studio writing a new song, I was in pain I new my baby was coming soon

Mack 10: cube?

Cube: wassup??

Mack 10: were da yoyo at??

Cube: oh I fired that bitch!

I then look up

Mack 10: oh shit what she do??

He looks at me but I look back down at my notebook and continue writing

Cube: um some hoe shit you know

I role my eyes

At the house...

I was having so much pain I laid down on the bed and rested

O'Shea: momma! Momma!

Aaliyah: what O'Shea? And please don't yell, mommy is in a lot of pain

O'Shea: ok yes ma'am

Aaliyah: what is it?

O'Shea: I know how to rap like daddy!

Aaliyah: oh yeah?

O'Shea: uh huh! Wanna hear??

Aaliyah: sure love

The clean lyrics ^^^

Aaliyah: wow that's amazing! Did you show daddy??

O'Shea: yes he wove it!

Aaliyah: I'm proud of you, not just for rapping like yo daddy but also not saying the bad words

O'Shea: thank you momma!

Later that day...

I was making lunch then my water broke

Aaliyah: oh god, babe!!

Cube: what's up??

Aaliyah: hospital now!!

Cube: oh shit ok!!

We dropped off O'Shea as fast as we can then headed to the hospital

At the hospital...

Doctor: ok once again I need you to push!

I do was she saids. About an hour and 45 minutes later, the baby was out

Doctor; ok here you are, a beautiful baby girl

She hands her to me

Cube: damn bae, she beautiful

Aaliyah: you wanna name her this time?

Cube: yeah, how bout...Ashley?

Aaliyah: Ashley?? Why Ashley?

Cube: like an ash tree

Aaliyah; you like ash trees?

Cube: yeah

Aaliyah; ok Ashley it is then

I then slept over at the hospital and left the next day

At the house...

I was in Ashley's room in a rocking chair

Aaliyah: Ashley listen, I know you just an infant but I gotta tell you, this world ain't easy for us females, you gotta fight back all these people, especially the guys, they can treat you like a bitch, and don't let no one call you that, ok

I give her a kiss

Aaliyah: I just want you to know that mommy loves you baby girl and I always will, the same thing I tell your brother goes to you

Later that day I put Ashley asleep and and want to go finish my song and continued on with the day
