BAHJA

Prince said he would talk to his mom tonight, but's almost dinner and he hasn't said anything. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but if he doesn't say something soon, I'm gonna have to. It's either that, or I pop Mamma Perez in the face and I don't think we want that.
Mamma Perez yelled "Jacob!" She called Prince to the dining room for dinner, once again not acknowledging that I was even on this Earth. I followed him to a table with the two plates of food. Now I was really irritated.

Bahja: Ms. Perez, where's my plate?

Ms. Perez: You're a grown woman Bahja, you can fix your own plate. Can't you?

Prince: Here Bahj, I'll go get an extra plate.

Ms. Perez: No Jacob, I mean you're old enough to have 2 kids, and take care of my son. You can manage to fix your own plate.

Bahja: Why do you have such a fucking problem with me?

Ms. Perez: Excuse me?! Jacob you need to tell your wife-

Bahja: Jacob doesn't need to tell me anything! Jacob needs to tell you how to respect me!

Ms. Perez: Ha! Respect for you? I'd rather roll over and die!

Bahja: That can be arranged!

Prince: Alright that's enough! Ma, you need to apologize.

Ms. Perez: For what?!

Prince: You have done nothing but disrespect Bahja since day 1, and she hasn't done a damn thing to you. She has respected you, even when you haven't had any for her. Now ever since you found out she was pregnant again, you've been so cruel. I don't know what's going on with you, but you need to fix it before this child comes. Because if not, I can make sure you never have a relationship with it.

Ms. Perez: You know I don't want that.
Prince: Well you need to show me. I'll leave you two alone. *leaves*

NIQUE

I got home the next morning, and drove as fast as I could back home. I walked into the house and saw Diggy helping the girls eat there food.

Titi: Mommy! I missed you! *runs to her*

Nique: *picks her up* Hey baby, did you have fun with daddy and uncle Diggy?

Titi: Yes!

Starr: They took us to Fun House and we played in the ball pin!

Nique: That does sound fun!

Diggy: Hey Nique.

Nique: Hey is Roc here?

Diggy: Nah he went to the store, he'll be back soon tho.

Nique: *puts Titi down* Let me talk to uncle Diggy real quick.

Twins: Ok! *run upstairs*

Diggy: How was L.A.?

Nique: Ray is gone.

Diggy: What?

Nique: He was in the place, and I went up there to check on him. I went in his room the curtains were closed, they were never closed! He never wanted them closed, he always wanted them open and then I went to the desk! And when I got there the lady just kept on telling me-

Diggy: Zonnique, slow down. What happened?

Nique: He got discharged. Sent home.
Bye Bye, all better now! He's gone Diggy!

Diggy: Gone where?

Nique: I don't know! I have no idea, his old apartment was trashed, there's no way they took him back there. What if he's not even in L.A.?! What if he's in Atlanta, walking around freely! He could be watching us or watching the girls! Roc, oh my god he could have Roc again we have to call him. *picks up phone*

Diggy: *grabs phone* Nique, chill out. It's ok, Roc is fine. He's on his way back. Don't worry, we gonna fix this.

Roc: *walks in* Fix what?

Nique: Thank God! *hugs him* Baby, I gotta tell you something.

Roc: Tell me what?

Diggy: Ray was discharged from the hospital.

Roc: Oh really? And what, now you wanna go after him?

Nique: What if he-

Roc: Remembers? I thought you said you had this all under control. What you so worried for? He's not gonna remember, that's what you told me.

Nique: Roc...baby-

Roc: No, you got yourself into this. I told you over and over leave it to us. But no, as always you wanna take matter into your own hands. I told you this was gonna come back and bite you in the ass. And if anything, I mean anything happens that can put our daughters in danger...I'm letting you know right now I'm taking those girls and I'm out of here.

Diggy: Man, come on now.

Roc: Nah, she brought this all on herself. She's gonna fix this shit all by herself too and if you wanna help her that's on you. *goes into the kitchen*

BRE

I woke up the next in my big ass bed all alone once again. It wasn't really a big now as much as it was before. But today I had another court date with Jacob. I got up and showered and did all my daily hygiene. I got dressed and curled my hair to my own satisfaction and went downstairs. I grabbed an apple and left.
