Toni
I laid bed thinking about everything that's been going on. So many things point to Ken. He said he'd always protect me, what if that's why he killed Rob? What if he didn't do it at all? I'm so confused.
"I know you're awake. I don't hear you snoring." He said throwing his arms across me. I reached up and slapped his cheek. "Ouch!" He chuckled.
"I don't snore." I said. He squeezed me as he nipped my shoulder making me laugh.
"I could stay in bed with you all day." He said kissing my neck.
We laid there in a comfortable silence before my mind started drifting. "Ken..."
"Nope." He said getting up.
"You can't keep things bottled up." I said sitting up watching him put on his pants.
"I'm not. I just want to focus on other things. Like the new addition growing inside of you." He said getting back in bed and rubbing my bump which was barely there.
"I'm scared Ken." I told him for several reasons.
Raising my hand to his lips, he kissed it, "Don't be...I got you. Now get dressed, I'm making you breakfast." He said.
"Ooh, burnt pancakes. My favorite."
"See? That negative energy is going to get you in trouble."
"I like trouble." I said with a shrug. He raised a brow picking me up and carrying me into the bathroom.

Kenny
I walked into the house and inwardly groaned seeing my mo- Lucinda, in the dining room. She had a bunch of papers in her hands.
"Honey, there you are. I need you to help me with the arrangements for your father's funeral." She said when she noticed me.
"How about you just dig a hole in the backyard and throw him in. Better yet at a playground, you know he loves kids." I suggested.
I was immediately met with a smack in the face.
"You will not disrespect your father that way." She said sternly.
"That man is no father of mine! You're not even my mother, you're delusional and just as guilty as he is. How could you cover up what he's done?"
"Whatever lies they told-"
"The only person who has lied to me was you. How could you be so evil?"
She raised a brow, "Evil? I made them who they are today. I made you who you are. Toni was living in the projects with her aunt and now she's a doctor, I did that. Dawn was a damn crack baby and now she's one of the top lawyers in the city. I did that. You? You'd be nothing if it weren't for me."
Liz came into the dining room, "Am I interrupting something?"
"No, this conversation is done." I said.
