Santana and Chanel woke up out of a dead sleep hearing knocking on their door. The knocking quickly turned into loud banging making them hop out of Chanel bed.

"Who the hell is that? It's going on twelve" Santana groaned walking out the room with Chanel behind her.

"Who is it?!" Chanel screamed.

"Babe it's me open up its an emergency" Trigga answered on the other side.

Chanel quickly opened the door allowing the guys to come in. King and Khalil helped Dex lay on the couch who was still bleeding out.

"What happen?" Santana questioned.

"I got shot" Dex groaned out with bloody teeth.

"On my couch guys?" Chanel complain.

"Babe I buy you a new one right now Dex needs help-"

"It's ugly anyway" Dex stated before groaning out in pain as Santana quickly ran over to him with a dish towel putting pressure on his wound.

"Why didn't you go somewhere else?" she suggested as Flaco made his way inside slamming the door.

"They didn't answer so King took us here-"

"Why?"

"Tana you have to do this" King tells her. She snapped her neck turning to looking at him. Grabbing Dex hand she placed it on the towel before standing up.

"No I can't do this King" she stated walking closer to him.

Everybody in the room watched Santana and King argue back and forth about helping Dex.

"Look this is a job for the hospital I can't do this-"

"Tana I helped you study before and I know this isn't what you learn-"

"I don't have the right tools King" she argued. "Just take him to the hospital-"

"Fuck the hospital!! He screamed at her. She stared at him biting her tongue refusing to speak what was on her mind.

"Aaah shit Tana do something" Dex gritted through his teeth. "Please"

"Santan-"

"King-"

"Are you doing this-"

"Shut up!!" She screamed in King's face shocking everybody in the room. She pulled her hair in a pony tail and looked at Dex before speaking and walking away.

"Chanel can you give me the alcohol, gloves, uh gauze pad from the first aid kit in the bathroom and y'all two?" She added pointing to Khalil and Flaco.

"Theres big tweezer in the draw in the kitchen can one of y'all heat the tip on the stove please?" she told them. "And towels Chanel!!!"

"Trigga I have uh my kit in my room can you go get that for me?"

They all ran off and did what they was told before coming back out with everything she needed it. After putting her gloves on she begin to cut his shirt and examine his wound before getting to work.

"This is gonna hurt" Santana warned taking the hot tweezer. She dug the larger tweezer in his skin making him groan out in pain.

***

Santana threw a blanket over sleeping Dex. She was able to remove the bullet and stitch him up, even though he kept moving she still manage. She walked to the kitchen seeing King standing there.

"He should be fine but he has to get checked out or its gonna get infected" She told him who was just staring at Dex.

"King are you listening to me?"

"Nope"

"King-

"I hear you Tana"

She begin to walk away from him but he stopped her half way grabbing her hand. She turned her head and made eye contact with him seeing his eyes were blood shot red.

"Thank you"

"Your welcome" she responded. "You need some rest come on"

King followed Santana to her room walking inside before she shut the door. It was going on three in the morning and King hasn't slept in two days.

"You sure?" He questioned. She nodded her head hopping in bed throwing the blankets over her. He took off his shirt, showing off his tattoo design body, before laying down next to her staring at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing just tired"

"Get some rest"

"You ain't gonna do anything to me will you?" He chuckled. She rolled over and faced him.

"If I wanted to hurt you I would've done it already" she told him. He faced her with a shocked look on his face. "But I'm not that type of person just stay on your side" she continued before rolling back over with her back facing him.

"Girl did you see the news this morning?" Nikki stated to Diamond feeding Mylee lunch.

"Yeah that's crazy I'm glad everyone was okay" Diamond said looking at her god daughter. "Anyway what's been going on at the shop I came back and everybody had flowers at their station except me"

"Someone send Santana a shit load of flowers and she gave everybody one-"

Nikki was cut off when Diamond started laughing loudly making Mylee jump a little in her chair. She stopped chewing and looked at Diamond wiping her tears away.

"Except me?" She laughed. "She thinks I'm gonna be upset over some flowers-"

"King sent them to her" Nikki stated watching her friends face expression change quickly.

"Wait hold up you serious?"

"Yes that what I was told" Nikki chuckled. "Just leave them alone Diamond I mean Santana really didn't-"

"Fuck Santana!!" She screamed. "She ain't nothing but a stuck up bitch I don't like her" she snapped. Nikki quickly covered her daughter ears trying to block out the cursing.

"Diamond relax the girl ain't do nothing to you if anything be mad at King-"

"It's whatever" she said waving her friend off.

"Then it's whatever Diamond you acting like you don't have Ray-"

"Fuck Ray too"

"Okay Diamond" Nikki chuckled.

She knew Diamond was going to be upset over the situation but the truth hurts sometimes. Nikki honestly thought Santana and King was cute together she knew he didn't want Diamond, hell the whole shop knew including the clients but Diamond mind is set up where if she wants something she is going to get it no matter what.

"I'm just saying leave King alone you have all these men-"

"Really Nikki?" Diamond questioned. "You know what I don't need to hear this-"

"Hear what? The truth?"

"I'm outta here" Diamond said standing up grabbing her belongings heading to the door.

"Girl bye!!" Nikki said walking behind her. She watched her friend walk out her house before slamming the door.

King woke up realizing he wasn't in his own bed. Taking a look around he remembered where he was at and shook his head. Grabbing his phone off the night stand he check the time seeing it going on two in the afternoon.

He got out of bed and grabbed his shirt before putting it on. He headed straight to the bathroom to handle his business.

"You was screaming" Santana laughed with Dex.

"That shit hurt"

"Why didn't you just go to the hospital?"

"Cause they nosey as hell"

"Hey your awake" she smiled looking at King walking out from the back.

"Uh yea morning" he said heading to the kitchen.

"Where's Trig?" He asked.

"I think he went home to shower and change he said he was coming back" Dex answered. He walked out with a hostess chocolate cupcake and a water bottle.

"We gotta go lets go" he demanded. Dex tried to stand but quickly grabbed his side groaning out in pain.

"Where? To the hospital?"

"Don't annoy me right now Tan-"

"Annoy you? Really King?" She asked standing up stepping to him. "He can't go out anywhere for a while specially out in the cold-"

"Dex lets go"

"No he's not going-"

"Says who?"

"The person who stitched him up and knows about medical treatment cause your ass didn't want to take him to the hospital. He needs pain killers-"

"How you go to school for nursing and don't have pain killers in your house?" King asked cutting her off,

"That's what I said" Dex mumbled.

"Cause of y'all coming here complaining about headaches all the damn time" she told them. "But he's not going anywhere-"

"So you go with me then?"

"What? No-"

"Either you or him? Pick one"

***

"Don't forget King we gotta go to the store!!" Santana shouted out walking around his penthouses. She fell in love as soon as she stepped foot inside. He had blue wallpaper with matching carpet to match with creamed colored wrap around couch set with a oval stone coffee table in the middle. The ceiling to floor windows had the perfect view of the city specially the side he lived on. His kitchen was perfect to Santana as well with marble tiles and matching counter top to match and a fridge full of food.

"I know Tana!! You know which ones to grab right?!" He yelled back.

"Did he really just ask me that?" She questioned to herself. She was admiring his African empowerment and couple pictures and glass decor around his place. "I love this painting" she whispered.

It was a painting of a lions face with a wild mane and scars all over his face, his eyes was had a reflection of a man with a gun in his hand but it was showing no bit of fear. The artist also painting the rest of the jungle animals including elephants, giraffes, tigers, and more behind him.

"Yoo!!!"

"What?!"

"Answer my question Tana!!!"

"Noo I don't!!" She shouted sarcastically. She heard him mumbling something as she messed with his stuff dropping a marble on the glass side table.

"Get out my shit!!"

"I ain't doing nothing!!!"

She carefully put everything back before going to the kitchen. A few seconds later King came out with a new wardrobe smelling like he dip in a swimming pool full of cologne.

"You smell nice" Santana complimented.

"Thank you why you looking in my cabinets? You about to cook me something?" He asked her.

"How many girls cook on this stove for you?"

"Your the first girl whose been to my place"

"Aaww I feel special" she smiled. "Now watch my ass as I walk out" she continued.

Watching her walking away King couldn't help but laugh staring at her ass jiggle in the black leggings she was wearing.

"Yoo you starting something" he chuckled following her as she giggled and quickly ran to the door.

***

Santana sat in the passenger seat and cruised with King in the streets of Detroit blasting No Limits by Usher ft Young Thug. They pulled up to a house that had a porch full of people that was playing loud trap music. A tall skinny dark skin guy wearing baggy jeans and a red t shirt spotted the truck before walking up to it.

"Black my man wassup?" King greeted the man.

"Wassup King?" He said looking in the car licking his lips staring at Santana.

"Yoo back the fuck up" King spat viciously.

"King" Santana called out.

"My fault my fault" Black grinned.

"Where's ya sister at?"

"She in the house hold on" He answered. "Yoo Tee Tee!!!" He yelled running towards the house.

"Where do you have me?"

"Relax just have to make a stop real quick"

"Hey King wassup?" Tee Tee greeted.

"I need you to find something out for me"

"What happen?"

"I know you heard about what happen last night-"

"Damn it King-"

"This time it wasn't my fault" he told her. She stared at him for a few seconds before sucking her teeth.

"Yea I'll find out for you"

"Iight thanks Tee Tee"

"You got something for me?"

King smirked and reached into his storage that was between the seats before pulling out a small white bag. Santana quickly turned her head and faced the window looking at the kids playing on the street and a few young girls wearing skimpy clothes while boys with pants sagging and colorful dread locks tried to holla.

"Thanks King"

He drove off heading to a different spot as Santana sat quietly.

"I gotta stop somewhere real-"

"King we was supposed to go your place and the store-"

"I know but this be quick I gotta check something" he said cutting her off. She sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes growing irritated.

***

"Babe that food ran right through me" Trigga stated coming out the bathroom. Dex rolled over on the couch and stared at him disgustedly.

"Yoo my nigga you mad blunt with your information ain't nobody wanna hear that"

"Shut up little nigga"

"Nah you shut up shitty ass" Dex shot back making Chanel laugh. "Yoo where the fuck they at? They been gone for almost three hours-"

"Whatever King" Santana stormed in the apartment slamming the door walking over to Dex who had a smile on his face. A few seconds later King walked in with a smirk on his face.

"Wassup"

"Hey King" Chanel chuckled.

"You mad bae?" Dex asked as she checked his bandages.

"No just annoyed" she answered handing him two Advil's.

"What he do?"

"Took me to a trap house" she answered as Trigga and Chanel started chuckling.

"It was only for five minutes"

"You pulled a gun on somebody-"

"I let him live-"

"Yea cause I told you too-"

"Yoo Ike and Tina cut it out" Trigga chuckled. "What happen though?"

"I had to put a few niggas in check that's it" he answered watching Santana walk to the back. "Yo I be back"

"Yo why your boy so thirsty for my girl?" Chanel giggled.

"Ask him" Trigga chuckled.

"King get out!!" Santana chuckled before her bedroom door slammed.

"Nah they better keep that door open...Santana!!" Dex screamed.

"So I was thinking about telling my dad and my brother about the baby-"

"No" Trigga said cutting her off.

"What? Why?"

"Chanel don't act like that you know how I feel about them-"

"Santana!!" Dex screamed out.

"But Trae they should know about-"

"What happen last time you got pregnant Chanel!!" He screamed at her. "Huh?!"

"Trae I get it but that was a few years ago and we been talking and-"

"Wait hold up you been talking to him and you didn't tell me?"

A few seconds later Santana and King came out from the back to see what the commotion was all about.

"Yea-"

"For how long?" He asked. A few seconds flew by and he still didn't get an answer. "How long?!" He screamed making her jump this time.

"For about four months he apologize-"

Before she could finish Trigga knocked the stuff that was laid out on the counter on to the wall making a mess all over the kitchen.

"Four months!!" He shouted walking towards her. Santana quickly ran over to her friends trying to calm the situation down.

"Trae" Chanel cried. "Just listen-"

"Four months Chanel!!"

"Trae I know this look bad but listen he reached out to her-" Santana started to say.

"You knew about this?" He questioned her.

"Yes I did Chanel a grown women she can do whatever what she wants-"

"Man whatever I'm outta here you coming King?"

"Trae don't do this-"

"Don't do what?! Huh?!" He shouted in her face. "You know how I feel about your father Chanel and you still went to speak to him behind my back!!"

Chanel stared into his eyes as tears flowed down her cheeks. She knew what she did was wrong but she wanted to do something for once to make herself happy, which was forgive her father.

"He's my father-"

"Since when?!" He spat before walking to the door slamming it behind him as Chanel walked to her room. King went to follow his boy as Santana followed her best friend leaving Dex alone in the living room.

"And I'm alone again" he stated grabbing the remote off the coffee table.

***

"Hey you alright?" Santana question seeing her friend cry once she walked in her room.

"I didn't want to make him mad Tana I just-"

The words got stuck in her throat as she continued to cry. Chanel didn't want to upset Trae she loved him with all her heart she just want to have her family back now that she was starting her own.

"I know Nelly it's going to be alright just give him some time" Santana said hugging her.

"I forgave him he wants to be in my life-"

She started hyperventilating holding on to her chest and Santana quickly went to Chanel night stand to find her asthma pump. Scrambling through pens, receipts and makeup she couldn't find it so she quickly went to her bag where she finally found it.

"Breathe....stop crying....one more time come on" Santana instructed as Chanel breathing started to calm down as she took her medicine.

"You need a refill too"

"He's mad at me-"

"And he will get over it what I want you to do is stop crying cause you are making me nervous right now and pull yourself together your pregnant and I don't want you to stress yourself out over this" she stated wiping her friends tears away.

"Look at me" she demanded. Chanel looked up at her friend seeing nothing but blur due to the tears clouding her vision.

"Everything is going to be alright..."
