I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.
"Hey Callie, Is your brother here ?" I asked as August's sister answered the door.
"We are about to have a family meeting so how about you come back later." She said about to close the door.
"Callie what your gonna want to do is start respecting me or you'll regret it." I said stopping the door.
"Let me tell you something. I will never respect you. Your just another little whore that thirsts over my brother, reality check you aren't the first bitch he fell in love with. He'll be over you next week." She spat. I laughed inside because what she fails to realize as long as I'm the mother of his child we will always be connected.
"See maybe if you spent as much time paying attention to details then being a bitch you would have stopped to see that your brother and I are always going to be connected." I said pointing at my stomach. Her mouth dropped as she realized my baby bump.
"Now you might wanna go get your brother." I smirked.
"AUGUST." she yelled walking into the house. I followed behind her. I stood beside her. I looked around and seen confused faces from his two other sisters and father.
"What's u-" he stopped in his tracks when he saw me standing next to his sister. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Well I came to talk to you but now I have a different agenda." I said looking at Callie and rolling my eyes. He around at everyones faces when he finally realized that I was showing and exposing it to everyone with this tight shirt I was wearing.
"So this is what you wanted to talk to us about?" Callie asked pointing at my belly. He nodded his head not looking at her. "Calm down Cal. It's probably not his anyways." Kylie said butting in it.
"Trust me it's mine." He said.
"August how do you keep getting these girls pregnant we went over this before." Angel said.
My eyebrows shot up. "Girls?" I asked "Son I can't believe you! You keep ruining your life. We had a plan and now it's ruined." His dad said before going upstairs.
"Bitch the only thing from stopping me from slapping you is
because your carrying my brothers child." Callie said.
"Bitch? You really gone let your sister continue to disrespect me. 5 minutes ago I was a whore and a hoe. Check her." I said looking at him. Callie crossed her arms and looked at him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me downstairs into his room.
"You really gone let her talk to me like that." I said.
"Why did you do that? You know I didn't want them to find out like that." He yelled.
"I came here to talk to you, I covered my stomach but your sister provoked me and so you know what I gave her something to eat on." I yelled back.
"Are you doing this because I told Cam?"
"You don't get it. I'm not mad because you told Cam. I'm mad because I trusted you. Everytime I trust you it seems to come back and bite me in the ass." I semi-yelled. "And once again I'm in that place asking myself do I trust you."
I stepped back. " Your basing this off what? "
"Off the fact that you never told me you got some other chick pregnant." He smacked his teeth. "Eva tell me what relevance that has with us. If I would have told you that when I first met you would you still talked to me?"
"I sure as hell wouldn't be in this situation." I yelled.
"Eva you care so much about what other people think about you and what they have to say that you can't even look past the fact that you have people in your life that genuinely love you regardless of what people say. But your to blinded by your reputation." He yelled back at me. "Yes I 'thought' I had someone pregnant but it wasn't mines. Stop letting my sisters get to you. They love making other people miserable." I was silent. I sat down on the bed.
"Look I came here to tell you that. I love you and thanks for not running out on me when I told you I was pregnant and for loving me unconditionally." I confessed. "Eva I Love you too. I wanna be the best boyfriend to you and father to that baby girl. I wanna be in both of your lives but you gotta stop assuming everyone is out to hurt you. If we are going to work you gotta stop antagonizing me and beating me up. I hate that I did that too you and I wish I could take that back but I can't. It was one of my worst mistakes of my life. But you have to sincerely forgive me before we can work." he said standing in front of me.
I nodded my head and huged him.
"I know I need to-" we were interrupted.
"You need to leave." his father said walking into his room.
"Sir, I fully understand you need and I never meant to disrespect you in your home. I hope that after you process this we can talk and you can be in your granddaughters life." I said.
"I want nothing to do with you or that little disgrace your carrying. You understand that bitch ?" he spat in my face. I nodded my head and headed for the door.
"No stop Eva." August said looking at his dad angrily. "Apologize to her." he said pointing at me but still looking at his dad. "You will not disrespect her or call her out her name." He yelled."Son you just ruined your life and your plan to be something."
"No dad. I ruined you plan and your life. I never wanted to play football for a living. You wanted to live your dream through me and you still failed." August yelled in his dad's face. "One day you'll wish you would have listened to me when her and that baby ruin your life."
"Her and That baby are my life.So screw you dad!"
"August." I said. He was taking it to far.
"You know what get out of my house you ungrateful son of a bitch. I have done everything I've could to raise you and this is how you wanna love you life than live it." His dad yelled. "This is sure as hell better than being a dead beat drunk dad. Who can't even open his eyes to see that he needs help and that he's not only killing himself but hurting his children.
"GET OUT!" His dad yelled but August stood there.
"August just please come with me." I begged. I didn't need them saying anything else they would regret.

We arrived to my place. Alex and Jason were chilling on the couch watching a movie. August stormed in and went into my room slamming the door.
"He okay?" Jason asked.
"Just give him a minute." I said sitting on the couch. "So you going to the game tonight?" Alex asked changing the subject."Yeah. I need to go support Jordan." It was important to me that my brother and I had the best relationship possible and that he learns for my mistakes. I still need to let him know that he comes first. Before all my friends and August. It's important that I support and give him most of my attention before my baby comes.
"Well we can ride together since its away game." Alex stated while leaning on Jason and typing on her phone. "That's fine, but let's go so we can get a seat." I said getting up from the couch.
*****
I was driving to the stadium with Alex in the passenger seat. She was completely focused on her phone.
"Is Jordan ready to be a uncle?" she asked still focusing on her phone. "Um-He never really looked talked about it. In fact he never talked about anything that has went on in the past few months. Should I be worried?" I asked looking over at her quickly. She was still in her phone. "Maybe that's normal." she answered me in a fanning motion. "What are you looking at?" I asked. I really wanted to know what was so interesting.
"Nothing really. Alyssa's having a party for the seniors. This party is the biggest topic in school. That and your pregnancy. " She blurted still not looking up from phone. I tighted my grip on the steering wheel. "Im such an ass. Im sorry." She said looking at me.
"No its fine. It was bound to happen." I said fanning her off as if it didn't bother me but it really did bother me. "You should come to the party." she getting hyped and and excited turning her full attention towards me. I laughed."Your joking." i said looking quickly then turning my attention to the road. She looked at me with a straight face. "Oh my gosh your serious. Do you not see this." I said pointing to my stomach. "Im already pregnant, I do not need to be painted as a unfit mother before my child comes so I'll take a rein check." I said parking the car and taking off my selt belt. "Okay fine bail on me but you owe me." She said as we got out of my car.
*****
"Congrats bud." I hugged Jordan as I congratulated him on their win tonight. "Thanks." he said with a attitude as we walked to my car. I brushed it off an paid no mind to it. "How about I take you out for ice cream before I take you home?" I unlocked the car door and popped the truck for him to but his gear into the truck. "Just take me home." He said angrily. "Okay am I missing something." I said standing infront of the drivers door. He got in the car slamming the door behind him. I raised an eyebrow before getting in.

::August::
"Thanks for coming down here so late." Usher said as I walked into the studio. I dapped him up before sitting down beside him. We sat infrot of a music board and a desktop. He begin typing something into the keyboard before pressing some buttons. "I heard this beat and I just had to have you voice on it." He said nodding his head to the beat. "Alright man get in there and record something." He said pointing to the booth. I nodded my head and walked inside the booth placing the headphones on my head.
"Have you ever written a song before?" he asked. "I wrote that song I sung at Eva's party, but that took almost two months." "Alright, Well we need to write this song tonight. So do me a favor and close your eyes." I looked at him trying to see if he was serious. "This will help you, trust me close your eyes." I closed my eyes not knowing what to expect."Think about mistakes you've made or things you regret. Think about the one person in the world who you love and would do anything for. Think about it." he said. I followed the sound of his voice as I thought of everything he said. "
"Now let it flow. Follow the sound of the beat and let every word that comes out of your mouth just flow." He said playing the beat. I let the beat play still in my thoughts. I stood there not knowing what to say. He paused the beat. "Open your eyes." I opened my eyes and looked at him. "You can't over think this. Let it be real. " He played the beat again and I closed my eyes thinking of what he said again. All that ran through my head when I answered those questions was Eva.
"Girl I think it's best for me to say this, I aint no good. And your aint something I should play with, so lets get this understood. I ain't trying to ruin your life. If anything I'm just trying to make it right. Tell the judge I aint even gotta plead my case. I can tell my baby to her face." I sung. It came out of nowhere. I looked at Usher and he had a smirk on his face. "That was perfect." He clapped.

::Eva::
I pulled up to my drive way and got out the car. I looked around and seen that my other car wasn't here which meant that August was gone. I went inside the house and dialed his number. I took off my shoes and sat on the bed as the phone rung. He didn't answer. I shrugged my shoulders and looked for Jacquees's number. I found it and dialed his number.
Jacquees: "Hello."
He sounded confused like he didn't know who was calling.
Eva:"Hey Jacquees this is Eva."
Jacquees: "Ah, Eva. What's up?"
Eva: "Nothing. I just wanted to see how your show went."
I lied.
Jacquees: "It was great but.."
Eva:"But ? What happened?"
Jacquees: "But it would have been better if my assistant was there."
I smiled.
Eva:"Yeah well.. I'll be at the next one."
Jacquees: "That just made my night. You can be my new good luck charm. How does that sound?"
I blushed.
Eva:"If I didn't know any better I would say you were flirting with me. But I would like that."
Jacquees: "And If I didn't know any better I would say you like it. But did you handle your buissness."
Eva: "I did, And let me tell you-"
I was interupted by someone banging on my door.
Jacquees: "Tell me what?"
Eva: "Uh hold on."
I walked to the door and looked out the peep hole and seen my dad standing there. I opened the door and he pushed past me pacing back in forth. He was clearly mad but about what his time. "Where is he?" my dad asked semi-yelling.
Eva:"Let me call you back."
I hung up the phone and sat it on the counter. "Dad, calm down. " I said looking at him in confusion.
"Where the hell is he?" He yelled looking through the house. "Where is who?" I asked following him as he looked in Alex's room. "Your little boyfriend." He walked into my room and looked all around. "He isn't here. Why whats wrong?" I asked folding my arm and leaning aganist my dresser. "How stupid can you be? You let him play you and then get pregnant. I thought I raised you better than that." He yelled grabbing my arm. "I'm so sick and tired of all the bull. You just keep finding stuff to be mad about. Get over it ! If I forgave him then it wont kill you if you did." I said pushing his hand off of me. He looked down on the ground and seen August's clothes on the floor.
"Is staying here?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and looked at him. "Yes, he is." I answered. "I do not want him staying here." He yelled.
"Well guess what. He has no where else to go so he is staying here with me." I said picking up the clothes off the floor. "No he isn't. I payed for it so its my say so." I turned around and looked him in the face. "You know what your right." He nodded his head. "Good."
"We will be out your place in 30 days." I said. He opened his mouth to speak but I spoke first wanting to end this conversation "Now can you please leave." He looked at me before leaving. I waited until I heard the door shut before sliding down to the floor. I brought my knees to my chest. Where are we gonna go? Where are we gonna live ?
*********
The Next Morning I woke up and dragged myself to the kitchen for a glass of water. Last night was too much and to top it off. August didn't even come home, I hope he didn't do anything crazy. I walked into the living room and seen a figure laying on the couch. He was wearing a black hoodie that was over his head. His face was in the couch so I could only see his back. I assumed it was Jason and maybe Alex and him got into an argument. I turned around to walk away when I felt his hand on my leg I turned around ready to go off when I seen it was August.
"I thought you were Jason." I said hitting him playfully. " He sat up on the couch and laughed. "Did I scare you?" I shook my head. "No." I said walking towards our room. I could hear his footsteps behind me as I approached the room. I sat my glass of water on my night stand before sitting on the bed. "Where were you last night?" I asked looking at him as he rambled through the drawers looking for clothes. "I went to work." he answered. "Where's my shirts?" he asked. I got off the bed and got him a shirt out of the closet. "Where is it you work?" I looked him up in down. "It's a surprise." He walked into the bathroom and I followed behind. "So can I have a hint?" I asked wanting to know what it was he did exactly. "Just know you won't have to work no more." He said. Speaking of work I needed to check my email.
*******
"Yes, Okay I'll give her a call and let you know.... Have a nice day." I was on a call from the producers of 106 and park. They wanted to book Justine to co-host for a day. I dialed Justine's number to ask her about the opportunity. "Hey Justine. I just received a call from 106 and park producers and they wanted to know if you like to co-host this week." I said while looking at her weekly schedule on my iPad. "Okay I'll let them know and email you over the information." I said as she confirmed the gig. " A mister Glyn Brown called. He said that he was in L.A and would like to have lunch with you." I could hear her sigh on the other side of the phone. I could tell this was personal."If you don't wanna go I could come up with something." I said trying to help her, "Please?" she asked. "I gotchu." I said smiling and looking over a paper I was sent from Jacquees Label. "Okay have a nice day." I said hanging up my phone. I looked over and seen August walking into the living room. He kissed me on my forehead before sitting on the couch. "Where you going?" he said referring to me being dressed up. I wore lightly ripped denim jeans, a white Versace shirt and Black jimmy choos. "I have to meet up with my boss in 30 mins and Later you and I are going house hunting." I said standing up. "Do we really?" He asked stretching out. "Yes we do, my dad can have this place I don't want him controlling anything we do." I putting my phone and iPad into my purse. "Alright just call me then. " he turned on the tv and starting flipping through the channels. "Do you need anything before I go?" I asked grabbing my car keys. "Nah I'm good ma."

::Jacquees::
I was sitting at the restaurant called The Greenhouse waiting for Eva. She was one of the most fascinating women I've met in a minute. She was different , smart , she had goals. I know she's pregnant but that didn't matter to me I loved kids. I pulled out my phone and looked at the time it was 12:30 she was supposed to be here at 12:15. Maybe I should call her. Oh wait ! There she is . I seen here walking my way. Her jeans complimented her curves while her shirt hid her baby bump. I stood up as she got to the table.
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic is bad coming from Anchor Beach." She said hugging me. "It's fine." I said pulling out her chair for her to sit down. "Thanks." I took my seat as the waiter handed us our menus. I looked over mines for a minute until I realized she was on her phone. "You do know when you come to lunch , your supposed to actually order something." I joked. She still payed me no mind and continued looking at her phone. "Evaaa." I said trying to get her attention . "I'm sorry. I was reading over this contract your label sent for your show Friday and it doesn't sound right." She said looking at me. "What's wrong?" I asked worried. "Well it says that you will only get 10% of the profit earned and they will pay you 5000 for your performance. They will not be paying for you travel or living expenses." she said handing me her phone that had the contract pulled up. She highlighted everything she found wrong with the contract, "I find that crazy that your only making 10% and not even being flown out or anything . Your basically performing for free." She stated. See what I mean. "Can you email me this? I'll give that to my manager and tell her to read over. I'm glad you read over it before I signed it." I said giving her back her phone. She nodded her head then placed her phone into her purse.
"We never finished our conversation last night." I said looking at her.
"I'm sorry my dad and I had a fight." she said rolling her eyes."You okay?" I asked grabbing her hand. She nodded her head and took a sip of her water. "Yes I'm fine, I'm just in the process of finding somewhere to live now." My eyes widened because I had solution to her problem, "How soon are you trying to move?" I asked. "Very soon." she emphasizing very. "Well my brothers girlfriend is a real estate agent. I'm sure she can help you."
"That would be great."She smiled, "How many rooms?" I asked pulling out my phone. "Im looking for 4 bedrooms. " She said surprising me. "That's kinda big just for you two."
"Well my best friend lives with me , I need a nursery for the baby and I need a spare room." she said,
"Alrighty."

::Eva::
Jacquees's brothers girlfriend agreed to meet us today and show us a few properties. August was going to meet us at the first location. I pulled up to the townhouse and got out the car and looked at Jacquees."This is far." I said scrunching my nose. The commute was really far. " I looked as I seen August pull up behind me and get out the car. He walked up to me and hugged me. "What's up ma?" He said pecking my lips. "Hey babe." I looked over at Jacquees who seemed uncomfortable. "Babe this is Jacquees , Jacquees this is August." I said introducing them. August shook his hand. "What's good man. " I looked up and seen this lady come out the door with a whit pencil shirt on and a yellow blazer. She had a short cut bob. "Hello My name is Mckenzie Fuller. "She held out her hand for us to shake. "Eva Marie." I shook her hand. "August Alsina." He said shaking her hand. "This is a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom townhome. It is 1200 square feet, The bathrooms and Kitchens were just renovated. "She said walking us through the town home. "This house has hardwood floors throughout. The backyard isn't big but it's something." She said as we looked out the back sliding doors.
"See I wanted something with a big backyard. I'm having a baby and I need somewhere for her to play and I also wanted to buy a puppy." I said as I looked a the tiny back yard that was all concrete. "That's fine I have two more properties to show you."
******
We arrived at the third house today. It was a little closer to our families in Anchor beach. It was in Newport Beach and It was a house.
"This is a 5 bedroom 4.5 bath. This is a two story home and is about 3,000 square feet. It has a spacious back yard and was newly built. " she said as we walked through the house. We did a usual walk through before August and I walked to the back yard and sat on the outdoors couch that was on the decorated patio.
"Tell me what you thinking ma." He said. "I love it. But can we afford it?" I asked. The house was beautiful and enough space for the four of us and more. It was in a great neighborhood. It was perfect. "Yeah we can." he said laying his head in my lap. "I don't wanna be paying rent for ever." I said looking down at him. "We won't be paying rent at all." he smirked. "So tell me how we would pay for the 100,200,000 home. "I said curious. "Don't worry I got it. If this is what you want then I got you." he said smiling.
"Of course this is what I want." I smiled. "Then let's go out in a offer." I pecked his lips and squeled. "I love you." I said before getting up.
