Secrets on Top Of Secrets

"Our relationship started to get tested after that. The remainder of my pregnancy was an absolute shit show."
"How so?"
"Janice, the test results, RUBI pops back up and uh..." Paisli shifts on the couch getting uncomfortable as even to this day she's still uncomfortable.
"UHHHH?" Melinda says wiggling her head.
"My father popped back up when my baby was born"
"Excuse me you're what? But I thought-"
"Yeah so did i. So did i."

"I shouldn't even fucking be here."
"Well you are, so take off your pants and let me do all the work"
"Zane! Babe!" Paisli says snapping her fingers in his face as he drove. It's been 2 months since Paisli miscarriage scare and they've bounced back. The thought of them losing their love child scared them both. Scared Paisli into forgiving him and scared Zane period. Paisli blood pressure was very very high and she was ordered to stay off her feet for the remainder of her pregnancy. Zane makes sure of that 25/8. Her feet is always leveled. She's become very bored sitting in the house so she nagged Zane until he gave in and told her take this ride with him.

Zanes mind is everywhere but where it needs to be. A months ago he did something he wasn't suppose to and now it's haunting him every day. He's trying to find a way to tell Paisli without her nearly slitting his throat. 7 going on 8 months pregnant Paisli is huge. Her face is full, her lips, her nose, her legs and feet. She has the worse heartburn but she'd go through it all again.

"Where is your mind at?" She asks. "Nowhere babe. I'm sorry. I'm just tired man, a nigga been overworking like shit because I'm taking a break once the baby is born. Janice got these test results back and that's where we're going now" Paisli rolls her eyes and Zane saw her. "Are you nervous?" She asks him. "Who wouldn't be. I don't remember ever going raw with this girl." "Maybe the condom popped, you're very big babe" "Yeah you'd know right" He bites his lip rubbing her big belly. "We really should look at the envelope and see what we're having," Zane mentions to her.
"Ugh.. I'm anxious to know. This whole waiting till the birth thing is eating me up" "We gonna do it today. Then gather everyone to tell them too so you can get this baby shower out the way" "It wouldn't be much of a baby shower. I don't have any damn friends" "Jasmine, my momma, Lana." Paisli gives Zane a dead look "Okay, well. It'll be a family one." "Oy, fine" He leans over kissing her as she smiles.

"This is the reading of the DNA test results in regards to 10-month-old Zaniyah Parks being the child of Zane Stokes. If revealed that he is yet this child father he shall be put on child support until the child is 18 years old. The amount of 5,000 a month" Zane mouthed what. Janice must've lost her chicken head ass mind if she thinks he's paying 5,000 if this is his child. The judge grabs the other paper with the results and reads them. Then she flips to another folder and her eyes widened. Paisli sat in this court room-shaking fidgeting with her fingers trying to control her nerves. She prepared herself for the worse and the best. She wasn't leaving Zane over something that happened before her. That's the last thing she'd leave him for. She's riding till the wheels fall off.

"Okay wait a minute what the hell is this?" The judge says looking up in Janice's direction. "Ms.Parks why is there a warrant out for your arrest?" "Excuse me, your honor?" "A warrant for your arrest in the murder of your boyfriend, Tyrone Jenkins" Paisli mouth flew open and she closed it immediately. Janice's face went pale. "Well well uh uh your honor this has to be a mistake I wasn't there when he was killed" "Yeah then why is this here?" "I don't know! Fuck, I didn't kill him." "Apparently there's enough evidence to wasn't to arrest you" "or obvious choice of picking the girlfriend!" "Hm, right well. We're going to have to call child services to pick up your kids to give them to the next line of kin because you cannot leave this courthouse." "This is bullshit! I didn't kill his ass! Now you're just taking me away from my kids?!" The judge continues to read another paper and took her glasses off looking at Janice with disgust. Black judges don't play. She rubs in between her eyes as Janice is literally sweating in her seat. Paisli couldn't believe what's happening at this moment she nearly choked. "There's a DNA test here already for this baby without Mr.Stokes name on it and it's 99.99999% chance that he's the father of this baby. So why is this man in here right now?" "I don't know what you're talking about your honor" Zane palms his face groaning. "Am I this child's father or not, no disrespect your honor but I have my pregnant girlfriend in here and she's on bedrest" "I completely understand. I'm just in enormous shock of this shìt show sitting in front of me. From these documents Mr.Stokes you are not the father of 10-month-old Zaniyah Parks. Not even 1%." Paisli smiles happily. Zane claps his hands together in the praying hands thanking god. It's now just Paisli with his child, one he didn't need to question. "You're both free to go and congratulations on your bundle of joy."
