Unfinished Business

Chapter 9

SB

I woke up the next morning beside my queen still admiring her beauty. The fact that my unborn child not even developing got me tight. I just can't believe all this is really happening to me. While deep in my thoughts I looked over at Nick to see her still asleep. I looked up in the corner to see Gotti awake, but yawning. I guess he just woke up. I wiped the cole out of my eyes easing from under Nick stretching aside the bed.

I walked pass Gotti throwing my head up signaling him so that we could leave. I kissed Nicki's forehead then put on my shoes and coat.

While exiting, the nurse assisting her entered. "Excuse me, but can you let her know I'll be back a little later." I said as she nodded her and I nodded back.

When we reached the car we didn't hesitate to get inside. I can tell the winter is hitting us early over here in California because of the few on my windows and cold atmosphere. I looked over at Gotti as he looked at me while I cranked up the car as well.

"I ain't forget.." I stated drawing my attention to my surroundings.

"Who put you up on this?" I asked.

Gotti sighed then stared at me harder only for me to stare back. "It was... Caine." He said before I turned my head and backed out of the parking lot leaving. I paid the parking lot fee and sped back to Nicki's old house.

"You my nigga right?" I questioned, but Gotto stayed silent.

"Or it's like that? You Caine nigga. Alright." I said.

"Nah nah I'm riding for you more than him bruh." Gotti said.

"You know we gotta finish this.." I said as we pulled up and I parked. "We doing this the old school way..." I said before stepping out of the car with Gotti.

Val

"Baby get up! Get up!" I yelled to SB watching him defend me agaisnt his father, Ronnie. I knew I shouldn't have let Ronnie come back and live with us. I knew I made the wrong decision. I knew that when he promised to never hit me again it was all lies. He doesn't still love me like I love him. Love does change over time, but mine hasn't I should've just left Ronnie alone.

"Get off him Ronnie!" I yelled in my dream as I fought Ronnie off my baby boy.

"Val wake up!" I heard Ronnie yelling.

I woke up to Ronnie shaking me. I stood in shock. Was that a dream? Or reality?

"You was screaming and fighting in YA sleep. I just came in here to make sure you're ok.." Ronnie said.

I nodded my head. "I'm okay.. Just dreams..." I said.

Ronnie nodded his head getting up about to walk away. "Don't go.." I said letting my thoughts slip out of my mouth.

Ronnie looked back at me. "You sure about that?" He questioned.

I nodded my head again. "Just lay with me... and hold me.." I said again as he done so.

I inhaled his curve cologne that'd he always used to wear. I felt my heart beat faster as he arms tighten around my body and eyes began to tear up. I can't believe this happening. I turned over to look into his eyes just as he looked back into mine.

"Why are you crying beautiful?" He asked me as I sniffed softly.

"Because..." I hesitated.

"Because what?" He questioned.

"Because Ron after all these years.. I still love you.." As I spoke the tears began to flow.

"And I still love you too, so stop crying baby." He said slowly as he pecked me and i pecked back. I sobbed in the crook of his neck just like I did in our younger days. What's love got to do with it?
