JUNIPER

Chapter XXVIII

Chapter 29.1

Leena and LaShon had finally made it to Texas and was ready to pay Sai'Yanna a little visit. With little to no effort, they were rewarded with her home address. As Leena drove through the upscale neighborhood, the two grew with envy. This is supposed to be my life but this bitch is living it. Leena thought you herself. Passing through, their eyes finally landed on Sai'Yanna, their car held tints so no one knew who they were and no one really paid it any notice.
Sai'Yanna was putting the twins into their booster seats. Leena grew angrier as she seen Bricks emerge from the house with a beautiful smile on his face, kissing her cheek. Leena gripped the steering wheel until the palm of her hands turned blush red. LaShon couldn't take it anymore as she went for the door but Leena pulled her back, "right now isn't the time but that bitch gon' get hers." Leena drove off full speed back to the home they rented close by. They had one agenda and that was take everything Sai'Yanna ever lived away from her. Starting with the twins, they knew that her baby's made her whole mad without them she'd fall apart. Then, they were going to turn Naomi, Gunz, Bricks, Sierra and Rocquel against her too, leaving her world to shatter in the palm of her hands. But little did they know Sai'Yanna was waiting upon their arrival, she didn't know when they were coming but she was prepared to put up one hell of a fight to keep her peace and sanity. Those two had caused more than enough hell in her life.

Leena sat on their loveseat with her feet propped up the coffee table. LaShon came out of the bedroom turning off the tv. "Turn the damn tv back on Shon", demanded. "Come take a look at this." Leena got up, following LaShon into what was once an empty bedroom but now a two bedded nursery. Leena's eyes grew wide with excitement. Her plan was moving faster than she thought. "I don't know 'bout you Leena but I'm gon' get what's mines . She's out here living the life we are suppose to be living." LaShon was pushing Leena to the side and finally taking charge, Leena didn't interject, she just listened.

The twins were down for the night and Sai'Yanna and Bricks were getting ready for bed. For the two it was a long day and the only thing Sai wanted to do was sleep underneath her man carelessly. "How you, lil Naomi and Rocquel getting along?" Bricks asked as Sai'Yanna laid on his chest. She looked at him, this was a conversation she was trying to avoid. "Naomi is still a baby and super impressionable B. I don't want that lil girl to throw away her future because she wants to be down." Naomi was a beautiful, dark skinned, young girl and in this game niggas see that as a way to get over and reel you in. "Bricks she ain't ready for this life, y'all got to give her some time", Sai'Yanna said whole heartedly. "You was young and out here taking—". Sai'Yanna cut him off, "I was raised to fend for myself and take what I wanted to be mines instead of waiting for someone to give it to me. Silk's parents and the streets molded me Bricks. That's why I came out the gate swinging like I did. What they taught me turned me into a monster. Gunz not teaching her that. Yeah their growin' up in low income housing but he's pushing her to go be something bigger then what she's use to", she sighed and rubbed his chest. "Rocquel on the other hand, fits the bill. But I'm tired baby. Can we talk about this tomorrow?" He shook his head yes and clapped his hands, turning off the lights.

Chapter 29.2

Sai'Yanna laid snuggled up underneath Bricks embrace. The house was still and quiet, a little too quiet for anyone's taste. She jumped up out of her sleep, panting hard. She nudged Bricks for him to wake up, "B! Wake up. Something doesn't feel right." He tossed and turned disregarding what she said. Sai eased out of bed and slowly walking out of their bedroom down the dark hallway. Making her way towards the twins room, she noticed their door was cracked.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
                       Her heart was beating out of her chest as she thought of the unthinkable. As she eased her way into the room, her heart slowly broke into a million pieces. Her baby's were gone. She searched their room frantically, then made her way downstairs. She entered the kitchen noticing her patio door was wide open as the December cold invaded their home. Leena and LaShon sat on the side of Sai's house with the sleeping baby's in their arms until the coast was clear, making a run back to their car.
"BRICKS!" She cried out. "Bricks! My baby's! Bricksssss!" Bricks came rushing down the stairs to a broken Sai'Yanna. Her reasons for living were taken away from her within a blink of an eye. "They took my baby's", she sobbed. Bricks didn't know what she was talking about as he hit the stairs bursting into the twins empty bedroom. The main two reasons he was ready to leave the dope game were gone. He ran back into their bedroom grabbing his cell. "I gotta call Pj and Gunz." "Call the police", she begged but Bricks rejected. "You know we can't call them Sai. We putting our livelihood at risk if we do that." Hearing those words made her cry even worse because he was right, she knew what type of life they were leading, if they got the police involved, they'd be snooping around more than a missing infants case. Seeing his woman this way made his heart shatter. He didn't want to see her hurt anymore but this was a bigger blow than even he could imagine.
