(Mo was taken to a room where she was to give a water birth. Khadijah and Keke were ordered to stay out of the room until Kaine was delivered. Cuz Tamaré don't like them like det 🌚)

Tamaré and "Zen" stood before me as I sat in the warm water meant for me to give birth in. Whilst breathing methodically and feeling every bit of my contractions I stared the both of them down with tears in my eyes.

"Might as well uncover your face." I scoffed.

"Zen" had now removed her mask and I was right about my suspicions all a-fucking-long.

"I'm... holding on to this baby... until I get some motherfucking answers... it pains me too but damn it, I will. This ain't how I wanted my water to break." I exhaled.

"I'll tell her..."

"It's only right." Tamaré stood back and held her hands up.

"Tamaré is Amaru's Godmother. What we were never vocal about was our spiritual and ancestral background. I was up to date on how Pac was spiraling and buggin out while I was out in Honduras and I did a lot of soul searching and connecting. I met up with Tamaré who immediately sensed I had demons after me...Amaru, as well. Our lives were in grave danger and it all came from being famous. The limelight stopped being for us at that point. I had to think, how could I escape without a trace? Without being followed? I done seen too much shit in the industry, Mo. I couldn't let them kill me." Left spoke.

That's right y'all, Lisa was the lady behind the face wrap this entire time.

"I know you confused Monika, but I ain't got much more answers for you as of now. I made a vow to protect my kin, through and through. This is blood of royalty, here. I wasn't gon' let no tacky ass wanna-be gangsters, and devil worshippers get to any of mine. We done built the Shakur foundation from nothing and intertwined with nature to fight our war with evil from the very beginning and have not lost yet. When we die... it's because our souls have served their purpose in this world and we are good and ready to go. It could never be at the hands of a gun-toting mortal." Tamaré spat.

Yet again... everything started to unfold and make sense immediately while my child was trying to free himself from my body.

"I can't even ...bring myself to ask any more... questions...I'm really, really, happy to see you Left." I repositioned myself to prepare to push this boy out.

"All things happen for a reason, Mo. I know this shit is crazy but you know I'm beyond happy to see you too and I love you, girl. Now, one more thing..." Lisa looked behind me and smiled.

I felt someone enter the water behind me then wrap their arms around my waist.

"Because what kind of man would I be if I miss the birth of my child?" Tupac's voice fell upon my ears.

"Oh dear, Lord." Tears immediately filled my eyes again as I threw my head back on his chest to look him in his face. 

This was it.

"Look at you... beautiful as ever. You bout to have my baby, girl." He smiled as he planted a million kisses all over my face.

"I don't know what I've done in my life to have such a hell of a ride but... I'm so... happy." I sobbed.

"Good, cuz ima need your happy ass to start pushing, for me. Let's go." Lisa got in the water with Tamaré as they both held my legs apart and stared into my temple of life.

"Whew, that baby crowning already; he ain't playing. What you thought you was holding on to? He's damn near out." Tamaré smirked.

"I can definitely push now." I smiled up at Pac.
