Secrets

August

Walking into the studio, my mind was and has been all over the place. A lot of shit been going down since we began court and it was frustrating.

At this point, being in the studio was the only thing that was keeping me calm at this point.

"Hey man wassup?" I greeted my producer.

"Just cool. You ready to get to this?"

"Yea man." I sighed.

"You straight?"

"Yea." I nodded.

Getting into the booth, I gave him the ok to play the beat. Hearing it flow through my ears, I closed my eyes and just let the words come to me naturally.

As I was getting into it, the music cut off causing me to open my eyes. Seeing Devin standing there, he called me out.

"Wassup woe?" We dapped.

"I'm cool."

Looking at him, he had the weird look on his face.

"The hell is up with you?" I laughed.

"Man I been getting good news all week." He laughed.

"Bro, you think you could give us a minute?" I asked.

"Sure, just call me when you ready." He got up and left.

"So talk to me man. What's been going on?"

"Well first up, I got word back on your next inter state tour."

"Word?"

"Yea. They said that they been liking the new music coming and they wanted to start push it as soon as possible."

"Thats great and all Dev, but ya know with this case we got going on, Ion know."

"I know and I told them that and they cool with it being after everything is settled."

"Aight, well I can do that." I nodded. "Now, what got you so happy bruh?"

"Shay's pregnant." He smirked.

"Nigga you serious!" I smiled.

"Yea man. She told me a couple days ago and I just came back from our visit."

"How far along is she?"

"Three months. She went through jer first trimester and ain't even realized." He laughed.

"Man I give women propes outchea. Like the shit they deal with, with their bodies is crazy."

"I know right." He agreed. "But yea. In a couple more weeks we'll be able to know what we having."

"What you hoping for?"

"As long as the baby's healthy, I'm cool to be honest."

"We all say that but we know what we want in the end bruh." I laughed.

"True." He nodded.

"So yea, what you hoping for?"

I realized at that point he was a bit hesitant to say and that's when I caught on.

"Oh." I nodded.

"Yea man. I mean, it aint-"

"Man yeen gotta explain anything to me." I let out a nervous laugh. "Ya want ya first born ta be a lah girl then that's great. I know she gon be spoiled like her momma."

Letting out a laugh to lighten the mood, inside I was feeling some type of way.

"Anyway man." He got up. "Let me not keep you back."
