Jahseh
I carried Andy in my arms as he slept silently letting out small breaths. It always calms me down seeing his chest heave up and down. It gives me an assurance that he is alive. After that scare when he was born I just gained a weak spot for my son. Dre was in her stroller playing with a shaker minding her business. She rarely lets me hold her. She is always busy doing something never paying attention to me unless she wants something. She reminds me so much of her father. From her eyes to her nose to her lips....everything about her just screams Stokeley.

"Sooo Stokeley came back at last but he has another daughter?" Gazzy asked sipping on his tea. Nick, Symere, Jordan and Omar were sitting around the table as Max and his little sister played under the table.

"Yes."I breathed out looking up from my son's face. I spent the rest of the day and the night yesterday crying. It hurt a lot seeing him again and learning such a truth." She is around seventeen may be eighteen."I spat pursing my lips together. Everybody else was silent.

"Well....I guess I shouldn't have told him we are here then?" Gazzy said biting his lip as an unapologetic look plastered on his face. I snapped my attention towards him.

"You did what now?"I snapped Andy moving around at my sudden outburst.

"Uhm...uh Stokeley came over my house yesterday and he begged me to talk to you. He really wants to explain himself to you Jahseh. You deserve it."he said. Everyone glared at him around the table.

"Our food will be here shortly." Taymor joined the table. "Why the tension?"he looked at us as we stared daggers at Gazzy .

"Gazzy why would you do that?"I whisper yelled. "I don't want anything from that man."I was beyond pissed." I'm leaving."I started gathering my things.

"Too late. He's here." Symere nodded towards the door. I turned and sure enough he stood by the door looking around for us. My heart skipped a beat once he spotted us and was now moving towards us. I faced forward as he stood by my side.

"Uh....hi?"his voice reached my ears making my breath hitch for a second. Andy shifted in my arms his eyes opening fully as he blinked looking around.

"You are not wanted here." Nick spat. I saw Taymor hold his hand discreetly telling him to chill. Dre begun blabbering making my attention shift to her. Her attention was on Stokeley as she made grabby hands towards him. Her large honey brown eyes that completely resemble his looking up at him. She has never been that eager to see me.

"What do you want? I thought I told you to leave me alone."I turned my attention to him. He was looking at Dre in her stroller his eyes lightening up. Why is he looking at my daughter like that.

"Hey lil girl."he cooed bending down to Dre's stroller making her smile huge exposing her gums. Her gibberish chants became loud as she clapped her hands simultaneously making grabby hands at him. A smile spread across his face as he moved his hands to pick her up." Aren't you just the cutest."I slapped his hands away before he could pick her up moving the stroller back. He frowned looking at me.

"Back off nigga!"I hissed. He sighed standing up straight again.

"Jah can we talk? Please just hear me out one time."he pleaded looking at me.

"Hell n--"i was cut off by aloud screaming and wails. I turned my attention to Dre and she was throwing a fit. Just on cue Andy begun to cry too. What the hell! Nick stood from the table taking Dre out of her stroller but she wasn't having it. Andy begun to cry harder breaking my heart. Like I said I have a soft spot for my boy. I don't like to hear him cry. I rocked him in my arms to calm him but I knew as long as his sister was wailing as loud as she was doing right now, Andy wouldn't stop crying.
