Kyla Jones

As I'm walking in the building with Chase on my right side and Riley on my left Kel's lawyer quickly stops me before I go into the court room.

"Hi Mrs.Banks may I speak with you? Privately?" He said in a hurry. Of course Kelvin said I was his wife. "Sure, Riley take Chase in there. I'll be there in a sec." I said letting go of Chase's hand. Riley nodded his head and walked towards the court room.

"Um .. I'm not sure how I can tell you this but Kelvin isn't going to fight this case. He feels like it will be a waste of time." He said scratching his head. Tf?

"What the hell do you mean he isn't going to fight this case!? He could easily get his time down!" I semi-yelled. "I tried to talk to him Mrs.Banks he was so focus on the racist judge rather then coming home." He said shaking his head. "Okay okay lets calm tf down, how much time is he looking at? Like give me a estimate." I said rubbing my belly. "10-15 years." He said sighing. "WHAT!? WHERE IS HE TIM?" I shouted not giving a fuck who heard me.

"I can't let you see him." He said sadly. "He's so fucking stupid! What about our kids? Did he even think about us?!" I yelled crying. "He said he created bank accounts for each child and he left his whole bank account in your name. He knows you wanted to buy a new house." He said looking at me. "This can not be happening to me right now! We are not animals! We can not be bought! I want him with me for the support and more!" I cried. "Everything will be alright Mrs.Banks." He said rubbing my back. I nodded my head and wiped my eyes.

Walking into the court room trying to hold back the tears from the previous conversation but they would not stop falling. Walking towards Riley, I sat down and laid my head on his shoulder.

"You aight mama?" He said looking at me. "No, your dad is pleading fucking guilty damn near. He's looking at 10-15 years." I said crying. I can't believe he is actually doing it.

"Tf? Why would he even do that? He's not thinking straight, let me talk to him." He said frowning his face. "Riley we can't, it's too late. He already made up his mind. He's more focus on the racist ass judge." I said wiping my eyes. "I gotta talk to him, we can't even relay a damn message to him?" He said mad ash. I can't even stop him from cursing. I shook my head no and kissed Chase's head.

"All rise." The officer on duty said as the judge walked in.

They begin to explain both sides of the case and the evidence that was shown. What really pissed me off was the fact that they brung up Kel's occupation. That shit has nothing to do with this case at fucking all.

"You killed my daughter out of spite because she never wanted you." Her mother shouted from the crowded. "Excuse me Miss! He killed her because she stalked my family to the point where I had to put things to the side just to make sure my damn kids where safe. So please don't you dare say she didn't want him!" I shouted back.

"ORDER IN THE COURT!" The judge said slamming his hands on the wood. I thought they were suppose to use the gavel. I guess not then.

"Ladies if you interrupt this case again I will ask you to leave! Now Mr.Banks, is it true that the young lady was stalking you and your family?" He said looking at Kel.

"Yes, actually Kimberly was said to be dead a long time ago along with my "kids". And by the law double jeopardy. I can't be charged for the same crime twice. That year I was charged with the murder of my own damn family because of you wack ass pigs! I'm sick of this shit!" Kel said getting upset.

Wait a fucking minute. Kel was charged for this bitch and her kids murder. Well that's a big ass part he left out of our first date.

"Well Mr.Banks, that's most definitely true but.. you are still being charged with the other two murders." The judge said pushing up his glasses. "I'm well aware of that, that's why I'm pleading guilty to both of those murders." He said looking at me. Tears flowed down my face as I stared back at him shaking my head. He could've fought this shit out. He was suppose to do it for our kids. He was suppose to be here with us not in ducking prison.

"Well there you have it, we will now go on a quick break." The judge said getting up. I looked at Kel and cried every harder. I don't understand this at all.

I got up from my seat and quickly hugged him. I felt Chase and Riley joining the hug as well.

"I'm so sorry Kyla, I had no choice." He said kissing my head. "Yes tf you did! Why would you take it? I don't understand your thinking! What about our kids? You will miss the twins birth and them growing up Marcus!" I said pulling away. All he did was put his head down.

"You're being real selfish right now, I can't believe you." I said walking away. Riley and Chase continued to talk to him before the judge came back.

Tiff, the twins, Kel's family and Zeekie were all here. They were just as shocked as me.

"Now Mr. Banks here seems like a family man who would do anything for his lovely family and I support that but he has broken a law. He will not be charged with the murder of Kimberly Wilson but will be charged with the murder of both Carlo and Marlo Davis. Mr.Banks I sentence you 10 years in prison with no bail but you will be able to be present when your beautiful twins arrive. Court Adjourned!" The judge said getting up from his seat.

My whole body was frozen. I already knew this was coming but to actually hear it really hurt. No tears came down my face at all. I'm done crying about everything from now on. I just have to suck it up and move past it.

Most would say it's a great thing that the judge will let him be present for the twins birth but I say it's a horrible thing for the both of us and our kids. I don't want to see him in a fucking orange jumpsuit in the delivery room. I'm not looking forward to Chase asking why his dad keeps leaving him. It already hurts enough that I have to explain this shit.

My mind is flying all over the place and I'm asking God to just cover me and my family. I just wish he would've fought harder for this but hay you live and you learn.

My kids will see their father, until then, we will grow as a family and we will not let anything like this happen again.

Like I said before, life isn't always that big Perfect Picture so make the best out of it while you can.
