"Look. For Now. I'm The Mama. You Gon Have To Slowly Work Your Way Back In Okay? You Can't Overwhelm A Four Year Old Like That. You Put Beautii Through I Don't Know What And Expect Her To Run Into Your Arms But That Baby Is Scared Of You. Aniyah Probably Doesn't Even Know You. You Need To Chill Sweetheart And Just Let Shit Play Out. Oh And Watch Your Back Because Nae Is Probably Coming For That Ass."

"No She's Not." Tre'Vonte Said

"Don't Let Me Find Out About What You Put Her Through. If I Do And Ain't Very Fond Of It. Expect Hell." Shardae Stated Before Going Into The Kitchen. A Few Minutes Later Trinity Came Down And Went Into The Kitchen. I Heard Mumbling Before All The Kids Came Out Of The Kitchen. They Looked So Cute. Tre'Maine Gave Niesha A Look When He Saw That She Had A Sad Look On Her Face. She Wiped Her Teary Eyes And Put A Smile On Before Looking At The Ground And Playing With Her Fingers. She's Not A Good Actress.

"Bye Mama." The Twins Said. Tre'Shawn Walked Over To Me And Raised His Arms. I Picked Him Up And We Gave His Cousins Kisses And Hugs. Shardae Better Pop Out Another. He Can't Be An Only Child.

"Bye My Babies." I Said As Aunt Layla And Nae Came Downstairs.

"I'll Take The Kids To School. Y'all Need To Get Everything Out In The Open. If A Fight Is Gon' Break Out. Move My Furniture. I Worked Hard For This. I Will See Y'all Yungins At Dinner Time. GoodBye." Aunt Layla Told Us Before Ushering The Kids Out Of The Doors. Me And My Sisters Blew Kisses. I Put Lil Shawn Back To Bed And Then Went Downstairs.

"Help Me Move This Furniture. "

"You Better Sit Down Sha'Nae. I'm Not Playing. You Don't Have No Reason To Be Fighting Anybody."

"OH I Don't!? Niesha, Who Is Manny?"

Niesha Was Silent. What Is Sha'Nae Talking About.

"Why Is Trinity Talking About You Hurting Her Arms And This Manny Boy Hurting Her Girl Parts?" Nae Took Off Her Earrings. As Did I, Shardae, And Niesha.

"I Don't Know What Your Talking About." Shardae Made Her Way To Niesha And They Started Fist Fighting. We Don't Do Much Of The Talking.

"YOU REALLY GOING TO SIT HERE AND LIE! TRIFLIN' BITCH!!!" Niesha Got In Too But She Was No Match For My Sister. I Believed In Her But This Is Just... No. I Knew Something Was Wrong When She Wouldn't Let Me Bathe Her. She Only Let Nae And Shardae. Maybe Because I Was Too Close To Tre'Maine. It's Been Months Since That And Trinity Is More Open Now But I Should've Noticed This.

"Alright Now Shardae That's Enough!"

I Said. When She Didn't Stop And Nobody Jumped In I Knew I Had To Do Something. I Went To Get Shardae Off But Tre'Maine Gripped My Waste Before I Could Even Take A Second Step.

"Tre'Maine She Gon Kill Her! Let Me Stop This!" He Looked At Me With Cold Eyes But I've Grown Used To Them. I Tried To Fight Out Of His Grasp.

"Tre'Maine Let Me Go. Shardae Stop!"

One Second I Was Fighting Out Of His Grasp And The Other I Was Against The Wall, In The Corner, Just Like In The Hotel But Only This Time I Was Bleeding And Tre'Maine Was Choking Niesha. I Discovered All Before Everything Went Dark.

"You Already Know They Went For Niesha. Kieth They Tryna Save That Girl And She Ain't Nothing But Trouble. They Probably Think We Snakes. Sha'Niya Already Has An Attitude With Me And She Roll Her Eyes At Me One More Time I'm Going To Break. I Don't Even Know Why You Kept Selling To Niesha Anyways. I Told You To Get Out The Game. I Said You Had A Choice. I Was Going To Give You A Little Time But-"

"But What? You Leaving Me? You Knew What This Was And What I Was Into When You Got With Me. Almost 16 Years And You Want To Leave. Girl Please. You Mine And We In This Shit Together."

True. I Couldn't Leave Him. And That's The Problem. I Need To Get In Touch With Her. I Need The Old Tina Back. I'm Not This Heartless And Kieth Needs No Respect That. If He Truly Loves Me He Will Understand Why I Need To Get Out Of The Game. With Or Without Him.

...

We Were Back In California. Well I Was. Kieth Was Still In N.O Trying To Make Sure All His Tracks Were Covered And Handling More Business With Another Connect. I And My Kids Made It Home And Hopped In The Shower. None Of My Nieces Or Nephews Were Here. Ugh. I Really Need To Explain Everything To Them But First I Need To Contact Skyler. I Told The Boys To Unpack And Hopped Into The Shower And Let Pandora Play.

After Thinking And Washing I Got Out. Doing All The Necessary Afterwards I Got Dressed. I Felt Fresh.

The Boys Had Taken Showers And I Decided To Go Out And Have IceCream. I Just Wanted To Talk To My Boys And Ask Them Stuff. It's Been A Long Time Since I've Done That And I Know They Feel Neglected. I'm Going To Get Out. I'm Finally Going To Be The Mother That My Kids Deserve.
