Saturday, February 8th

1:25pm

Jada & Marcel's House

"GET THAT ASS UP! TODAY MAKES THE TWO WEEK MARK AND I GOT YOUR TEST RIGHT HERE!" I said yelling as I walked into our bedroom. I went out and got the pregnancy test for Jada. We were gonna find out today.

She woke up and rolled her eyes at me playfully.

"You were waiting huh?" She said laughing.

"Sure was. Now here." I said giving her the pregnancy test. "First pee of the day is the most hormonal." I said and she looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"How do you know that?" She asked.

"Baby I smoke weed. I've needed to take a lot of drug tests in my lifetime. When you research you learn a lot." I said and she laughed at my preparedness.

"Whatever *laughing* ima go take this test." She said getting up and going to the bathroom.

I let her have her privacy and I went downstairs to the movie room.

About 5 to 10 minutes later she came downstairs to the room I was in and looked at me.

"So?" I asked her.

"I'm not pregnant." She said.

"When yo next period?" I asked her with my eyebrow raised.

"February 23rd" she said and I nodded.

"Aight so if I put a baby in you February 14th that should be enough time for my child to get inside that egg. I got some fast lil niggas." I said and she started dying of laughter and hit me.

"Ew Marcel! Nasty ass. But yes that would be possible." She said and I nodded.

"I can always get another test again." She said.

"Okay bet I'll get you another test to take the day before Valentine's." I said seriously but she laughed.

"You are too much." She said smiling.

"You think I'm joking." I said with a straight face.

"I know you're serious but it's so funny." She said laughing again.

"Alright laugh if you want. But now that we married? Oh yeah fo sho I ain't pulling out shorty you getting all these kids." I said and she gasped.

"We gon have like 12 kids if you don't pull out! We have sex a lot!" She said in shock and I just shrugged.

"I guess we having 12 kids then." I said then got up to go in the kitchen.

As I was in the kitchen I heard Jada on FaceTime with Bria. She was filling Bria in on everything and that made me think of Q. I had to call that nigga.

"Hey Siri.. FaceTime Q." I said to my phone that was on the table.

I heard the ringing then Q picked up.

"Myyyy nigga what's going on?" Q said as he answered the phone.

"What's good brodie?" I asked.

"Shit at the trap." He said.

"Calm. I'm about to head to the trap up here too in a few." I said. Q knew I was trapping again.

"Oh aight homie. How the trap up there? You ain't completely turn on the trap over here have you?" Q asked chuckling and I did the same.

"Nah bro never that. I just do a few jobs here and there to support the fam you feel me? I'm not heavy like I use to be." I said into the phone and he nodded.

"Calm. You got a family on the way now? Damn nigga y'all only been up there a month." He said laughing.

"Nah bro, but we trying for one. We married now." I said and he looked shook.

"Oh shit bro! Congrats. When did that happen?" He asked.

"Two weeks ago, wasn't nothing it was just me and her and we went to the chapel." I said and he nodded.

"Well congrats and good luck on creating a family." He said.

"Thanks homie." I responded.

I heard the door open from Q's side of the phone.

"Aight bro ima hit you later. Say hello to Jada for me." He said and I nodded.

"Love that nigga." I said.

"Love that nigga back." He said and we hung up.

I finished the sandwich I made and I went upstairs to the bedroom and saw Jada in some tights and I sports bra.

"Where you going?" I asked her.

"To the gym baby." She said and I nodded.

"Aight. I'm about to head over to the trap and do a job." I said and she nodded.

"Okay baby be safe. I love you." She said and we shared a kiss before she left then I got ready and left out also.

3pm

I pulled up to the trap and parked and walked in.

"Ayeee Mar my man! Just who I wanted to see." Keelo said to me. He was the boss but he knew I owned a trap so he had me help him.

I wasn't in it much I told him I'd only do a few jobs here and there I didn't wanna be heavy in the streets again.

"Ayeee Keelo what's good brodie?" I said and we dabbed each other up.

"I got two jobs for you instead of one." He said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Wassup?" I asked.

"Somebody owe us money. That's the first job the person is in the basement." He said and I immediately shook my head.

"Nah bro I told you I'm not tryna get too heavy into this lifestyle again. I just here to do drops here and there to support my lady and I." I said.

"Come on Mar just this one time." He said.

"This one time gon turn into five more times." I said sighing.

"You have my word that it won't." He said and I looked at him for a minute then sighed and looked around processing what I was about to do.

"Basement right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah. You strapped?" He asked and I nodded.

"Always." I said then got into thug mode.

"Aye, ima just handle that other job my guy. Come to my office afterwards though so I can pay you for this." He said and I looked at him.

"How much we talking?" I asked.

"How much you want?" He asked.

"How much you tryna give me?" I asked him.

"How does $2,500 sound?" He said and I raised my eyebrow.

"That's more than what you pay me for the drug jobs." I said in a little shock.

"Because this time you handling more business." He said and I caught his drift and just nodded. I already knew what I got myself into when I agreed.

"Copy. Bet." I said and walked away and went into the basement.

10pm

I unlocked the door and walked into the house. I noticed Jada on the couch in the living room on her laptop.

"Hey baby." I said and closed the door behind max

"Hey babe." She said, not taking her eyes of the laptop.

"Working?" I asked and she nodded.

I chuckled to myself at how focused she was and I went upstairs to shower.

As I was in the shower I was in my thoughts.

I really just killed a man today. I thought to myself as if I've never killed anyone before.

It was different this time because I vowed to myself not to get to that point again, just a few drug jobs and that's it.

I sighed and washed my face and soaked up. I rinsed everything off and got out the shower and brushed my teeth.

I dried off and went into the bedroom to moisturize and put on my basketball shorts. I was free balling tonight.

I hopped on the bed and was chilling on my phone for about 30 minutes until Jada came upstairs and sat next to me and turned the tv on.

It was silent for about 20 minutes but I was just processing what went on today.

"Baby you ok? You silent it's scaring me." Jada said and I chuckled and grabbed her thigh, rubbing it.

"Yeah shorty I'm ok. Just in my thoughts." I said to her.

"Well what's on your mind? Talk to me." She said and I thought for a minute if I'm wanted to tell her but I decided not to keep it to myself.

"I killed someone today..." I started and waited for her to spazz at me but she didn't. She just stared at me.

"How'd that happen?" She asked calmly. I was shocked at how calm she was but confused. I was prepared for her to spazz at any moment now.

"Keelo wanted me to do two jobs for him but he ended up doing the other while I handled the guy who owe us money. The guy apparently owed money for a grip and he still ain't have it so is shot him between the eyes." I said. I waited for her to spazz but she didn't still she remained calm.

"You got paid?" She asked.

"Of course." I said in a duh tone.

"How much?" She asked.

"2,500." I said.

"Ok." Was all she said and kissed my cheek then turned back to the tv.

What the hell? Is this a trap? I thought to myself in confusion.

"Baby are YOU ok?" I asked her in complete shock that she didn't spazz.

"Yeah I'm ok baby." She said smiling at me.

"You're not mad at what I did?" I asked sitting up.

"No, should I be?" She asked and I shook my head.

"I guess not." I said and raised an eyebrow at her as she watched tv.

I decided to test if she was really mad or if she was finally cool with my lifestyle.

"I'm thinking about getting into the drug game again ma. Not heavy heavy but do jobs like I did today... shoot a motherfucker if I have to." I said and she simply nodded.

"Promise to be home at least 4 days a week? No work calls nothing." She said looking at me and I raised an eyebrow.

I was joking but I was actually thinking about doing so now since she seemed cool with it.

"I promise. The streets can have me Monday-Wednesday but my wife has me Thursday-Sunday." I said kissing her cheek.

"Okay good. Be safe and don't get yourself locked up." She said simply and kissed me back then turned back to the tv. She was watching Bob's Burgers. I swear we are two big ass grown kids sometimes.

"Baby you sure you good?" I asked her.

"Yessss Marcel I'm fine. Give me some loving." She said and I chuckled and kissed her forehead, cheek, and lips.

"I love you shorty." I said to her.

"I love you too baby." She said to me.

For the rest of the night I watched Bob's Burgers with her until we fell asleep.
