I woke up thinking about everything that had happen. I didn't know how to feel. I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't want Travis to show up apologetic and begging me to be back in our life. The situation just wasn't something I was going to be able to let go of though.

I shook my head as I got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to do my hygiene. I headed to the kitchen and made myself some tea before going to sit in my big chair and watch Travis while he sleeps. Looking at him he seemed exactly the same. His arm draped over his eyes with his hand on his lower stomach. I felt the babies moving around in my stomach as I watched him.

"Oh don't get excited" I put a hand on my belly "Missing him isn't enough"

"You know it's creepy to watch someone sleep and talk to yourself"

I smirked as he stayed in his position "Good morning to you too... and I was talking to them"

"Don't talk to my babies like that" he looked at me "Let us get our hopes up"

I shook my head as he got up stretching. He went to my room and I could hear him starting his shower. I grabbed my book and waited on him to come out. I planned on talking to him no matter how much I didn't want to. If the was one thing my babies did, they definitely made me grow up through the pettiness.

When Travis came out dry with his towel around his waist, I peeked over my book and smirked. I knew he was being petty but my stomach was too big for me to feel horny so I just rolled my eyes and went back to ready. I listen and didn't put my book down until I felt like he was fully dressed. We just looked at each other without speaking.

"This isn't easy for me either" he looked down as he spoke "I know---"

"No you don't" I shook my head "I'm not trying to be rude... but you don't know. You don't know how are it was to let go and love you... trust you. You don't know what it's like to mean nothing to anyone your whole life then find someone that makes you feel... perfect. You don't know what it feels like for the only person to ever give you that feeling to break you. I thought I knew hurt and being broken, but I didn't. Not until you hurt me Travis"

"But I'm hurting too Micah" he looked at me "And I'm znot asking for sympathy or for you to feel bad. I just want you to know this all has broken me too. I never loved anyone the way I love you!"

"You don't hurt people you love Travis!"

"I thought you hurt me! And it was wrong to be so cold and to be a dick to you all this time, but I didn't know what to do or how to handle it"

"I want to say I understand... a part of me kind of does knowing everything you know, but I can't. I can't understand why you would do the things you did to me" I wiped the tears that fell "I honestly don't even want to think about it or deal with this right now. I do want us to be friends again for the babies... but that it"

He nodded "Okay"

I paused thinking if I should tell him what I know. A piece of me wanted him staying with Khari to be his karma for everything he did but I couldn't.

"Travis---"

"I'm ending it with Khari today" he looked at me "I just wanted to tell you in case things go crazy today. Carmen and Keith are coming to be with you while I deal with the mess I've made... I just didn't want you to think I as leaving because of our talk"

"Why you breaking up with her?"

"Honestly? I went back to what was comfortable. It was never supposed to be more than a rebound relationship... then everyone was pushing us closer together then she said she was pregnant. Next thing I know my mom is giving me her original engagement ring to give to Khari"

"Before my babies are born I just need one favor?"

"What?"

"Grow some fucking balls with yo people man" we both laughed "I'm sorry but that's dumb and trifling... AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE THAT BITCH"

"Calm down" he shook his head "I am though. I don't want you to ever worry about me not being there or having your back. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you or the girls physically mentally or emotionally"

"Show me and I'll believe you"

He nodded before getting up "I got you"

He headed toward the door and I tried to get up. The minute he saw me he rushed over to help.

"I'm good Trav... I just need to tell you something"

"What's up"

"I was going to let your karma work for itself and leave you to be miserable with that bimbo... but I can't do that if we're going to be friends. Plus you breaking it off anyway so you should know the truth"

"About?"

"Well first... I may or may not have went and popped off on Tiana---"

"MICAH!"

"Aye nigga chill! I didn't fight her, just pop her ass for lying so she'd tell me why she did it"

"You can't fight everybody Micah! I been told you that! And you pregnant! Is that how you ended up in the hospital?"

"Listen it's fine now! Just let me tell you what she said"

"Fine what she say?"

"It was a set up from he jump" I watched his face go to confusion "David and your girl... they wanted to break us up... and they did"

"What?"

His whole face went dark and for the first time since I've known him, Travis had me scared.

"Travis---"

"FUCK YOU MEAN THEY SET US UP?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

"Calm down"

"Fuck you me---"

"Travis calm you ass down!" I put my hands on his chest "I know you mad! Shit I popped the fuck out of Tiana but I don't need that stress. don't need that stress"

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. I watched a his body relax before he took my hands and held them while they stayed against his chest.

"I want to hurt somebody so bad man" he shook his head

"Just let to truth be revealed and let karma do her thing"

"Oh shit getting revealed today!"

"Well let's go" I moved to slide on my slippers "I can get somebody to get Tiana ass. She's don't want another ass whooping so soon"

"Oh hell no! You not going nowhere!"

"You don't really have a choice" I smirked at him "Listen this was and is my life too. Plus if you leave me hear I'm just going to get in my car. I hid the spare from everybody so I'm pulling up regardless. You can decide if you drive or if I drive"

"Ralph is going to kill me" he shook his head standing annoyed

I laughed before grabbing my things and walking toward the door. He followed behind me and we got in the car. I decided to make him feel better I would ask Keith and Carmen to pick up Tiana and bring her. Keith end up calling Travis and needless to say everyone was pissed at me, but I was not about to stress over anyone. I just felt I deserve the satisfaction of seeing this unfold.

When we pulled up at his parents place, I held his hand to calm him down. I knew Travis was going to have a hard time with his mother most of all. It wasn't like I was her favorite person but I also wasn't with Travis anymore. We got out the car and I followed behind him into the home I follow frequented a few times.

Mr. Barron was coming downstairs and his face lit up when he saw me. He ignored Travis pulling me into a hug and rubbing my belly as soon as we parted.

"How are my girls" he smiled at my belly

"They're great Mr. Barron"

"Oh you know better than that baby girl" he perched his lips at me "Dad or pops from now on"

I smiled "I got it"

"I'm just invisible" Travis pushed his dad before they hugged "Hey old man"

"Officially a grandpa, I guess I'll take that"

"Where is everyone?"

"Your mother, Liv, and Khari are upstairs waiting. I guess we should call them down"

"You get them, I'm going to sit the busy body down"

"I'm not crippled"

"But the floor slippery"

Travis held my hand before walking me into the living room and sitting on the couch beside me.

"Please if you feel upset at all just let me know and we going home" Travis looked at me "Let me handle this though"

"I'm not your girlfriend anymore Travis so I can't promise to do that"

He exhaled hard "I guess I don't have a choice"

"Nope!"

He smirked and I laughed. It was crazy that for the first time it felt like we were really trying to be friends again. Our banter however was short lived when everyone walked in the room.

"Travis what the hell is she doing here?" his mother spoke

"Ma chill"

He stood up and hugged his mother and sister. When he attempted to hug Khari she stepped to the side. I shook my head and rubbed my belly trying not to laugh.

"Come sit down" he sat back down "I need to talk to yall"

"Is this where you been?" Khari got loud

"Calm down and sit so we can talk"

I was sandwiched between Pops and Travis while the three witches shot me daggers from the other couch. I smirked at the anger in their eyes but kept my mouth closed.

"So to answer your question... yes. I was with Micah at the hospital yesterday... and I'll be taking care of her until the babies come"

"WHAT?" the three shouted

"You gotta be fucking kidding me Travis! How dare you?" Khari stood up "You leave your pregnant fiance to check on your whore ex and her bastard----"

"Who bitch!" I pointed "I can't hop up off this couch and beat yo ass but I will lay you the fuck out if you speak on my babies! That's your first and only warning!"

"Micah---"

"Get her" I rolled my eyes

"Khari first of all sit down" he sighed "And secondly Micah is right. No one is going to speak on my daughters"

"Your daughters?" his mother voice was laced in venom "You believe those things belong to you? She's already proven to be a whore and you believe those things belong to you? Travis have you lost your mind"

"Ma I love you but I promise I'm about to lose my mind and any ounce of respect I have. These babies" he placed his hands on my belly "are mine and any disrespect toward them or Micah is disrespect toward me. Like it or not Micah is family now"

"That tramp will never be in this family" his mother stood up "And those will never be my grandchildren!"

"Ma---"

"Bitch I clearly made this warning known" I had stood up by now "I will beat the fuck out of your old ass! You don't like me? Cool! You can call me names and whatever you gotta do but you will not disrespect my fucking children! I'm not even with Travis anymore! Like you got what you wanted right? I'm not his girlfriend and we not getting back together" she smirked "But I will always be the mother of his children! His first and second child at that!"

"Ma I'm trying so hard to make this work and figure this out... Micah is my family. These are my babies... if you can't accept that then that means you don't want me in your life anymore. You don't get to disrespect them and keep me. It's not happening"

"I said what I said"

She turned around and left the room heading upstairs. His father went after her and you could hear the anger in his voice as he called her name. I shook my head before patting Travis on the back. We both sat back down as Olivia and Khari glared at me.

"Travis" Khari spoke as she stood up "We need to discuss this! We are a partnership now! You can't go making decision without me! I'm not okay with this"

"You don't have a say in what I do for my children Kay" he sighed "And we need to talk anyway"

"Then we should go home and talk! You've brought... this here! Okay! Everyone knows she's pregnant! Now let's go home and talk"

"No we gone talk here" he shook his head "I need the truth and we not going to close the door and hide it to make you to tell me some bullshit and I just go with it because it sounds good. I can't do that no more Kay"

"Travis you're really going to let this whore back into your life! After what she did to you?"

"Kay---"

"I was there for you through EVERYTHING!"

"Calm down" he stood up "You yelling and acting crazy only putting stress on my child"

"Oh now you care about me and the baby?! When everything is okay with that bitch we matter then?"

"You gone cut the disrespect Kay"

"Fuck her! And fuck you! I gave my all for this and you think I'm losing it because of her and a damn baby"

"Babies" I smirked rubbing my stomach "Two"

"Bitch!"

She lunged at me only to be grabbed my Travis. I could see the fire in his eyes and it was a long time coming but I couldn't let him go out like that.

"Let her go Travis" I sighed "She not gone fight me"

"I hate you!" she was balling staring at me "You ruin everything"

"Did I?"

"Just wait!"

"For what? You've did everything you plan to do... right?"

She glared at me while I stared back. There was a knock at the door and Travis let her go to get it. She didn't move and neither did I.

"You will never be a part of our family" Olivia spoke "If those are my nieces my brother will take them and make sure they have the best life! But you? You won't get shit from him or us! After everything you did to him... he'll come to his senses once those babies are out of you"

I nodded with my head cocked to the side and my eyes still on Khari. The smirk on my lips was to prevent me from both laughing and smacking fire into these hoes. I was most amused and irritated at how ole girl pushed the charade so hard. Our stares were broken when we heard Travis come back.

"Oh shit" Tim spoke

He hesitated behind Travis with David beside him. I arched my eyebrow at Travis who just nodded. He walked over and stood by me but didn't sit down. Tim sat by his bitch ass wife while David stood off to the side.

"What's going on here" Tim asked looking around "Seems pretty tense"

"I... I just want the truth man" Travis shook his head

"About what?" Olivia looked at him confused

Travis stop speaking and just stared at Khari. I shook my head but I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Who's idea was it?" I asked looking between the two "Or was it a joint effort"

"What are you talking----"

"You know you should've picked a better bitch" I looked at David "She don't know the meaning of loyalty and you thought she would go against me and never say anything?"

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"Why'd you do it?"

"The bitch is crazy" Khari stood up "Travis you can't----"

"Can't what? Believe her?"

"Yes!"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"They gave you proof" Olivia looked at her brother "You're really about to throw away your life for this girl? She cheated---"

"Did I?" I looked at her "David, did I?"

"That's what was told to me with pictures and video" he shrugged

"Who told you?"

"I'm not---"

"Bitch who told you!" I got louder "Since you want to play this game David! Let's fucking play!"

"I'm not playing with you!"

"Who?"

"Why would you jump to tell me" Travis looked at him "but you can't say it to her"

"Trav---"

"Say it D!"

"I don't gotta answer to no fucking body! I told you because we boys! At least we were!"

"So that's it" I laughed "You still mad because you lost a friend and yo side pussy?"

"That's all you'll ever be anyway" he smirked

"If that's all I am why you still trying to find your snake as way into my life?"

"Fuck you B"

"Oh now it's fuck me" I poked "It wasn't fuck me a couple months ago"

Everyone looked between him and I.

"Nothing to say now? Go ahead and tell the class how you tried to slide back to the side pussy bed David! Speak on how you back promising to leave your wife? Or when I sent the polite fuck you, you went back to the little snow bunny from the club?" I chuckled "I hired Snow, you thought she wouldn't come to me when you started fucking her and paying her bills? It's respect baby boy"

"David?" Olivia spoke "What is she talk---"

"She's lying!"

"Oh no sweetie! I'm the only one here who seems to know the truth! Now it's your turn! So let's here it David! Speak the truth!"

"You fucking bitch----"

"AYE!" Travis stood in front me of "Cut that shit bruh! I'm not fucking playing! Just tell the fucking truth"

"You really gone believe the bitch that fucked off on you over me! Nigga we've known each other since we were thirteen!"

"That don't mean shit to me bruh! What because we've known each other you not supposed to set me up? Fuck that!"

There was a knock at the door that caught everyone's attention. Everyone looked confused while I wore the biggest smile. I pushed Travis to go get the door. Once he was gone I stood up. My back was hurting but I couldn't let Travis see.

Keith, Carmen, Travis and Tiana walked into the room. Keith and Carmen came to my side immediately. Keith started touching my stomach and back while asking me was I okay. I nodded but I could tell he didn't believe me. I spent most of my time with Keith and Carmen so they knew when I chose to stand over sitting it was because something hurt.

"We can go you know" Carmen spoke

"I'm good" I smiled "They just heavy yall I promise. Plus it's a dull pain in my back, not a contraction"

I got them to sit down on the couch with Tiana. Keith made sure to separate Carmen from her which only made me laugh. Travis had walked to where I was but was standing closer to Tim. He looked frustrated while I was amused.

"What is this?" Khari stood up "Travis let's just go home and talk"

"Let's talk here"

"So again I ask" I spoke up "Whose idea was it?"

The three were silent but stared at me.

"You know, as smart as you are David... I just don't think this was your idea. Yeah you connected some pieces of it... but I'm really getting the feeling that you were just a pawn in someone else's plan" I turn to Khari "Now you? I could definitely see this being your little plot"

She smirked at me "I don't know what you're talking about"

"You don't? Hmm Tiana refresh her memory for us"

Tiana sighed and looked at David "I can't do this. I'm sorry! It was never supposed to be like this Micah I swear. I was mad at you for choosing some guy over our friendship! I thought if yall broke up everything would go back to normal"

Travis paced back and forth as she spoke.

"Keep going" I felt my anger rising "I want to know exactly what happen"

"Snow came up to me with a message to meet some guy at work. Said it was on some money shit so you know I was bout it. Rocko went with me and waited outside just in case some niggas was on some funny shit" I nodded "I get there and David open the door. We were talking about everything and he was like he had a plan"

"That's a fucking lie!" David stepped forward

"Whatever nigga! You did! You brought that hoe out" she pointed at Khari "And she had this whole thing mapped the fuck!" she looked at me and Travis "I was supposed to just set it up so that you were with some random nigga but when you told me about the videos"
