Chapter 26.1: Fresh Start

After two and a half months of being in Houston, Tx they had finally made their house feel like home. The twins were set up in their own nursery directly down the hall from Bricks and Sai'Yanna and Nasir and Sierra moved into one of Bricks apartments he had downtown when he came for visits with his connects. Being in the south was a breath of fresh air for Sai'Yanna and she loved it.

Sai was relaxed on their white large sectional sofa as the twins napped in their room. She let out a relieving sigh as she flipped through the channels on the television. "Damn it's nothing on", she said turning the television off and ascended the stairs. Bricks was out assembling his new team so she wouldn't be seeing him until night fell or the next morning. She didn't mind, just as long as he checked in. Being that Sai'Yanna felt as if her family was in grave danger from Leena's delusional clan, she kept tabs on everyone at all times.

She rested in her California king sized bed as her phone rang. "𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 👯‍♀️💕" appeared on her screen and she answered. "Hey girl." "Wassup Sai? How's everything going?" Reagan sounded dry, she didn't sound peppy like she usually did.
"Everything's good.... what about you?" Sai'Yanna eased out. She knew when something was wrong with Reagan and now was one of those times. "I'm okay", her voice cracked. "No you're not Reagan. What's wrong? Talk to me mamas!" Sai'Yanna demanded.
Reagan gulped, "Silk cheated.... and she's two month's." Reagan burst out into tears and Sai couldn't help but to cry as well. Reagan had been put through enough from the brutal attack with Desiree, her miscarriage and being close to death this was the icing on the cake. Silk knew Reagan wasn't able to have kids at the moment and he turned around and pulled a big stunt like this. "What I'm gone do Sai? I don't have no where else to go", Reagan cried into the phone. Sai'Yanna sniffled, wiping her tears, "unless you want to come to Texas. My place still your home Reagan, Silk has a key, get it and go home."
"I can't go back there." Sai'Yanna didn't know what to say. "I love him Sai, I can't lose him." Reagan was now hysterical, Silk was her knight and shining armor but he failed her this time. "Just keep your distance for a while Ray. He'll get the hint and give you your space. You've been through enough and that's too big of an emotional toll for you mamas—" One of the babies started to yell to the top of their lungs, Sai'Yanna dropped her phone and rushed to their aid. Xaine was sound asleep but Milan was having the biggest fit, turning blush red. What's wrong with her? She never cry's. Sai'Yanna thought to herself. She brought Milan to her chest, cradling her until she calmed down. Feeling her temperature, she was normal but something was off. Sai'Yanna picked up Xaine as well and carried them both into her bedroom, rocking them back to sleep then placing them in the middle of her bed.

Realizing she was in the middle of a phone call with Reagan, she picked up her phone noticing she was still holding. "I'm so sorry Reagan but Milan just threw a fit out of nowhere. But listen to me, what if the baby ain't his then what? What if this bitch lying just to get under your skin? These bitches know what type of weight Silk's name hold and that's why they do the shit that they do. Don't sweat it I promise everything is going to be okay." "Mmmk. I love you Sai. Kiss my baby's for me." "I love you too Reagan and I will." They ended their call as Sai'Yanna went back to her motherly duties.

Chapter 26.2 : New Recruits
Bricks was in Greenspoint with his mans Chance. Chance and Bricks had known each for about four years in the dope game. Chance liked the way Bricks handled business and couldn't wait for him to come to the south.
They sat in the living room of his babymothers crib, watching Chance's henchmen bag up different product to distribute to the streets. In New York, feigns went crazy for what Bricks was selling and it was the same for Chance in the south. "So my nigga how you liking Texas so far?" Chance asked. "Shit straight no lie, I can get use to this. My lady like it so that's all that matter for real bro." Chance nodded his head and rubbed his goatee. Chance's baby mother, Krystal came strutting from the back room in some little booty shorts and sports bra, leaning over her love seat getting a good look at Bricks. She stuck her hand out, "Hey I'm Krystal. You must be the nigga from New York Chancellor's ass been bragging bout?" Bricks nodded his head, refusing her hand, "yeah I guess that's me." Chance shot her a disturbed look. "What? I was just speaking. Damn!"
"Krystal don't start that bullshit today. Take yo ass back in the room and put on some fucking clothes!" Chance yelled at her. "Nigga you just trap here, we ain't fucking. Only responsibilities you got in my shit is that weight you moving and jr", she scoffed. Chance rolled his eyes, shooing her off, Krystal vanished back into her room, slamming the door behind her. "Bitches man", Chance huffed. Bricks just sat back and observed. He didn't have to deal with those problems, he was a 'one woman' man and he knew Sai'Yanna would never do anything like that to embarrass him, mainly because she carried herself like a boss and not a hood rat hoe.
