Narrator- It's the day of Chelsea's baby shower and All of Chelsea's family and friends are in attendance. Princess is also at the baby shower. After a couple of minutes Brandon walks in with Shakira and Mackenzie. Princess never told Brandon about how she saw him with another girl.
Princess- *taps Chelsea* "Look Brandon is here. I'm not saying anything to him today."
Chelsea- "Sis please don't. I need today to be all about Janiya."
Princess- "I'm going to try my best to ignore him but he better not say anything to me."
Chelsea-*looks disappointed* "Jaden hasn't even showed up."
Princess- "Why did you even invite him anyways? He's probably busy making drug deals or with another girl."
Chelsea- *rolls her eyes*
Princess-"Look girl Brandon, Shakira, and Mackenzie are walking over here."
Brandon-*walks over to Princess and Chelsea*- "Hey y'all! Chelsea we put your gifts over at the table. Jaden said he was on his way."
Chelsea- "Thank y'all so much."
Princess- *ignores Brandon* "Hey Shakira and Mackenzie."
Mackenzie- "I haven't seen you two in a while but it's great to see y'all again. Chelsea you are glowing!"
Shakira- "She's most definitely glowing. Let's just hope this baby looks and acts just like her."
Brandon- "What are you trying to say?"
Shakira- "Boy hush you know what i mean but it's nice to see y'all."
Ada-*walks up to Shakira* "How are y'all doing? I had to come over because i guess I'm invisible."
Shakira- "Trust me ma'am you're not we just haven't had time to walk over there. We were making sure we talked to the most important people here first." *laughs*
Ada- "I see you brought your real son but where is your God given son?"
Brandon- *looks confused* "I'm sorry ma'am but is that how you address someone? We all came here to support Chelsea and Jaden's baby. I will always respect my elders but i will not allow you to disrespect my mother."
Princess- "Well you can just leave and go back to the gym with that girl."
Brandon- "What?!"
Princess-"Don't say anything else to me."
Shakira- "Brandon go to the car."
Brandon- "Ok." *goes to the car*
Ada- "I'm glad you told him because i was about to show him disrespectful. That's the problem with these children nowadays they don't have any home training."
Mackenzie- "Shakira, lets just go sit down."
Shakira- "No, actually I'll just tell everybody bye and i hope that they enjoy this beautiful baby shower. Chelsea, congratulations and if you ever need anything just call me."
Ada- "I'm sure she'll never need anything from you ma'am! She has a mother and father that she can always count on!"
Chelsea- "Mama can you stop?"
Ada- "No i cannot. These people didn't even claim your baby till now! I'm not about to hold my tongue for these half raised people!"
Chelsea- "It's not about that today. They came to celebrate and support."
Ada- "Fine but don't tell me anything else."*goes to sit down*
Narrator- Brandon and Shakira leaves but Mackenzie stays. After fifteen more minutes Jaden arrives to the baby shower.
Princess- "There goes your baby daddy."
Chelsea-*rolls her eyes*
*Jaden's thoughts*
I'm really excited to come to the baby's shower but i was nervous to be around everybody. As soon as i walk in everybody is staring at me and whispering. Chelsea's family members couldn't stop staring at me. I thought Shakira and Brandon was here but i don't see them anywhere. Not to mention, Mackenzie is here.
Ada- *walks over to Jaden* "Who told you that you could come here!"
Jaden- *feels embarrassed* "Chelsea told me that it was ok for me to come*
Ada-"Chelsea did you invite him here?!"
Chelsea-*walks over to Ada and Jaden* "Yes i told him he could come for Janiya."
Ada- "He probably still has a gun on him."
Narrator- "Everyone starts staring at Jaden to see if he has a gun on him."
Jaden- "I don't have a gun on me. I came to support that's all."
Ada- "Let me check you."
Jaden- "Is that necessary?"
Ada- "Yes it is."
Chelsea- "Mama can you please stop! You're embarrassing me."
Ada- "Why do you care? He already has a girlfriend?"
Chelsea- *walks out the baby shower crying* "I hate you!"
Ada-*looks embarrased*
Jaden- *walks out with Chelsea* "Chelsea! Don't cry it's going to be ok."
Chelsea- "Leave me alone just go be with your girlfriend."
Jaden- "We're not together anymore."
Chelsea- "It doesn't matter you still talk to her and you still talk to other girls."
Jaden- "Look Chelsea, i love you and i want to be with you. I'm sorry i broke your heart. I don't want to keep breaking your heart."
Chelsea- "Then why do you do the things that you do?"
Jaden- "I don't know. You should be happy today though. You're mama is just overprotective of you because she loves you."
Chelsea- *wipes her eyes* "If she loves me then why did she embarrass me like that? Why do she keep doing this?"
Jaden- "It's hard to understand why parents do what they do. We need to go back there and celebrate for Janiya."
Chelsea-*gets up and starts heading towards the building*
Jaden- *gives he her a hug* "I love you."
Chelsea-*breaks away from Jaden* "Yeah, Yeah."

Mackenzie- "Hey, Jaden can i talk to you for a minute?"
Jaden- "I'm right here say what you gotta say."
Mackenzie- "I missed you."
Jaden- *ignores her and looks through his phone*
Mackenzie- "So you're acting funny now?"
Jaden- "Girl you almost had me killed why should i talk to you? Better yet why did you even come here?"
Mackenzie- "I came to support y'all and i wasn't trying to hurt you. I was going to stop the car."
Jaden- "I don't need your support. What do you want?"
Mackenzie- "I don't feel comfortable just saying it. Can you just give me your new number?"
Jaden- "I don't have a new number."
Mackenzie- "Great... well can you unblock my number?"
Jaden- *shakes his head* "I'll think about it."
Mackenzie- *leaves*
Palo- *laughs* "Who is that?"
Jaden- "A desperate hoe."
Palo- "Yo bro you tight you got older hoes. Them the girls you gotta keep around."
Jaden-"I'm good bro she's crazy."

Chelsea- "Well can i find out myself? It's my baby."
Ronnie- *hears the argument and comes in* "You will not disrespect your mother like that."
Chelsea- "Y'all are trying to control my life. I have the right to have a say so."
Ada- "You don't have the right to say anything. If you don't like our rules then you need to leave. You want to be grown so bad, go stay with that boy and see if he can take care of you."
