A Chance For Growth III

Bitch bye

The living room was tense and quiet, all heated eyes on Aubrey. Taking control on The situation Taraji had everybody sit down and shut up. She wasn't too happy about a second baby at first either but they weren't going to attack Aubrey like this. She wished Brey had told Courtland first so she could have some other support besides her and Marcel.

"I know y'all are upset but be considerate of her." Taraji spoke handing Aubrey a cup of tea trying to ease her nerves.

"Can we talk now?" Hunter questioned now that Taraji had taken a seat.

"One at a time." Taraji spoke.

"Cool! What the hell is wrong with you?" He shot out confused on this whole situation. Last they talk she didn't plan on having another for a while.

"Yeah, you can barely take care of Cannon. What makes you think you can do two?" Heaven tossed in hitting Aubrey hard. Tears building threatening to fall while Taraji sent a fierce glare to Heaven.

"I said be considerate Heaven! You think being a mom is easy? Just a walk in the park? And don't you say cause you baby sitter your siblings yeah. There is a difference between someone else's baby's and your own!" Taraji shot back with fire catching Heaven off guard. Wondering why her mom got so mad so quick.

"Im just saying she should have wrapped it up. It's not that hard to put condoms on people! Just put it onnnnn!" Heaven grumbled slumping in her seat.

"Aubrey you know I love you and I've made my own troubles but let's be honest. You can't sit there and act like you being pregnant again is a shock. If your not on nothing or not taking precautions then this is inevitable. Nevermind that your not ready. You better get ready." Terrence spoke taking a softer approach. Taraji smiled at him the action not going unnoticed as he got a sideeye from everyone.

".....I don't want another one!" Lani blurted with a scowl.

"Shit up Lani." Heaven grumbled hitting her little sister with a pillow.

"Guys I know this is a shocker but it's just as much crazy for you as it is for me. I mean mom's kicking me out." Aubrey breathed out wiping her cheeks.

"Ohhh my god. You need your own place Aubrey. You can't run to me every time something goes wrong. You're never gonna learn if you constantky have crutches. If you think I'm doing this to be mean I'm not baby. It's tough love." Taraji responded truthfully. Aubrey needed to walk on her own two feet without a mountain if people taking the baby off her hands.

"But...."

"No buts...you just gotta do it. Courtland is here now, and he better get with this daddy train. To be honest parenting ain't easy. You gone fuck up a kid or two but you do the best you can with what you have. We are your support just not physically. " Terrence jumped in.

"Love you Brey." Cyrus spoke getting up to hug his sister.

"Ughhh I love you even though I'm upset." Heaven grumbled getting up to join the hug. Followed by everyone in a group hug easing her troubled mind. Telling her family was always going to be the hardest thing to do. She had to admit her parents were right but that didn't mean she wasn't scared.

"Im ordering take out." Taraji announced as the hug broke up.

She patted Marcel on the back noticing how lost in his head he was. All this baby talk bothering him. The house once again peaceful once mouths were occupied and stomachs were being filled. Taraji bounced Courtland in her arms ignoring his crying. His little arms reaching for his mother but per Tarajis request to let him cry. He was going to have to stop his extraness. Terrence eased up behind the two looking down at his grandson membering how Taraji would make him hold Cyrus and ignore his crying for her.
