Big Zo and Deedy had come back to town a month ago and Dekia still never told them what was up with her and Zo. It wasn't purposely though she had a lot going on like trying to get a dress made in time for her prom , trying to decide what college she wanted to go to , what she even wanted to go to college for , and finish her last minute senior projects that she needed in order to pass and graduate .

Not to mention Big Zo and Deedy had a lot going on with theirselves too . Lance had to go out of town for business so Darkayla was back staying with them and they were helping her out with the twins and they had been going to meetings with the school board for Percy who got expelled for calling his teacher a hoe and pulling out his penis telling her he would piss in her mouth .

" So what you gonna do now ? you going to keep waiting to tell them ? I mean it ain't that much longer you can hide it now " Zo told Dekia as they sat in his bedroom.

" Come'on let's tell them now and get it over with " She said as she stood up.

" Are you serious ? " He asked her .

" Yeah like you just said it ain't that much longer ima be able to hide it . They're going to notice and i'm not going to lie to them about the situation " She said .

She grabbed something off the bed and sat it in her hoodie pocket with Zo following her . She was happy to see that they were both in the front room feeding them twins which meant they would be calmer on them because they had the babies in their hands.

" Why y'all looking like that what's wrong ? " Big Zo asked as he eyed his two kids who looked scared shitless. Zo talked all that shit about Dekia coming out and confessing to his father but he was just as scared as she was.

" Dekia has something to tell you " Zo said causing her to look at him in disbelief .

" Whats wrong babygirl ? " Big Zo asked her.

" Unmm .. well me and Zo are together " She said .

Big Zo was quiet for a moment as he looked at the two of them who had grabbed each others hand in attempt to comfort each other.

" I know " Big Zo said .

" How do you know ? " Kia asked confused.

" As first , I wasn't paying the rumors any mind because I thought it was something Kierra was just saying because she and Kia had their issues but then I heard Leisha started to saying it and I would hear people around town speculate that y'all were together . It was little things that was said in those conversations that just made sense like the fact that y'all two can't stay away from each other everytime you're over here it's like the two of you have a string attached to each other and whenever you're not here he's always going to Deedys house . Zo , you do things for her that you don't do for none of your sisters like buying her expensive jewelry and designer shoes and purses. I noticed that you two started beefing when he went to jail only come to find out that when he's out he's claiming to have two females pregnant by him so it wasn't hard to see why the two of you were no longer speaking . So when I started paying attention to those things I decided to start paying more attention to things going on in my household you know how many bad ass kids i have that's always breaking shit and lying about it. I have cameras everywhere in this house except for y'all bedrooms so I started looking back at old footage and saw the two of you kissing and hugging on each other when I wasn't home " Big Zo said.

" Well why didn't you ever say anything ? " Dekia asked .

" Why didn't you ? I asked y'all time and time again and yall kept lying right to my face. You know how that makes me feel ? I was sitting here defending yall when I would hear the rumors about two kids under my household fucking . I went against my own sister for accusing yall of messing around because I believed yall word only to find out that everyone was right all along " He fussed .
