***LELE'S POV***

"Let me see her" Ej whined.

"Nope." Elle said, cradling Bri in her arms tighter.

"But she's MY baby." He pouted. He didn't like anyone else holding her. Including me, and i was the one that gave birth to her.

"So ? She was named after me. I can hold her all i want. Besides, there's no way this baby can be yours. She's an angel. Nothing like your ugly ass." Her eyes swept over him disdainfully.

He took of all his chains and handed it to me. "Hold my shit, baby." Amused, i took his chains and watched as he rolled up sleeves. He looked like he was ready to box. Elle just sat back on the couch looking unbothered, her gaze focused on Bri.

"Ej, sit your ugly ass down somewhere before i shoot you and raise your daughter as mine." She said, not taking her eyes Bri.

"You got one more time to call me ugly. Bitch we is twins !"

"We ARE twins, you imbecile." She laughed at him. "Besides, everyone knows I'm the good looking one." She turned up her nose at him. Watching them fight was so cute. They acted like they hated each other but anyone could see how strong their love was for each other. Their bond was unbreakable.

Elle got up from the couch, Walked directly past Ej, and placed Brielle in my arms. "There you go." She cooed, as Bri stirred in her sleep. "I'll let you have your baby back, for now." She smirked at me. "Ej, meet me by the pool in five minutes. We have sht to discuss." She said briskly, before walking away in the direction of the pool.

"Why are you having a meeting? Is something wrong?" I said, my tone laced with worry.

"Shhh, relax ma." He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. "Nothing is wrong. I promised i wasn't going anywhere and i meant that. Me and Elle just have some business shit discuss. Don't worry about it, okay ?" He cupped my face in his hands.

"Okay." My body slumped in relief. I was always worried that at any moment, someone would come and take him from me. I don't know how i would be able to deal with that a second time.

"I'll be back, ma." He pecked me on the lips twice. "Take care of my princess for me while I'm gone. When i come back, i want her dressed in her best princess gear and ready to play."

"Ej, she's three months. She's not going to be doing much playing." I laughed.

"Yes huh. We're playing madden later." He said, looking dead serious.

"Whatever, boy." I shook my head. "Hurry up and get outside before Elle shoots you. You know how impatient she is."

"Shit. Yeah, let me go. I'll be back." He bent down and kissed me and Bri on the forehead, then he took off in Elle's direction.

I stared down at my daughter's angelic face in awe. I couldn't believe she was mine. I was a mother now. Fresh out of a nap, she yawned and flashed me a small bubbly smile. Her tiny palm held my index finger hostage while i studied her face. Everytime i looked at her, i was amazed. She was small, with smooth yellow skin and big brown eyes. All traits she'd inherited from her father. Ej had strong genes, most of her traits came from him. But that smile? That was all mine.

***EJ'S POV***

"What took you so long ?" Elle said, annoyed. She was sitting by the pool with her feet dangling aimlessly in the water. She looked deep in thought.

"Quite bitching and tell me what you have to tell me." I sat down beside her.

She sighed and reached into the pocket of her hoodie. "Here." In her hand was a small black velvet box. Tentatively, i took the box from her hand and opened it. Inside was a 24 karat, square cut diamind ring with diamonds encrusted on the sides.
