I walked through the door clutching Messiahs car seat in my other hand.

Closing the front door, I swung Messiahs car seat over. Placing it on the couch. The sound of footsteps rung in my ear as someone walked down the steps, looking up I seen my moms. She was dressed in gray sweats with a black t shirt hanging over it. A gray cardigan draped over her top, matching the sweats.

A Seagrams wine cooler hung out her hand. Man I swear this women will do anything just to get drunk.

"What's that?" she asked. Her voice was raspy as if she had just woken up.

"Meet Messiah" I spoke, turning the car seat her way so she could see him.

"That isn't.." she couldn't even finish her sentence. Dropping her mango flavored wine cooler on the pearl white carpet. Her mouth hung open, becoming covered with her hands.

The bottle rolled down the step, stoping at the last one.

A tear rolled down her face as she creeped down the rest of the steps. She came up to the car seat, without even asking she took messiah out caressing him. I could smell the strong sent of liquor on her breath, I shook my head knowing what she's gotten into.

She held Messiah close as she just weeped. He looked so tiny in her arms. She gazed down at him as she let all her emotions out.

"So wassup? Is he yours" she didn't even look my way as she spoke.

"I don't know yet" I responded.

My results still haven't came back in yet. It's been a week since we've heard from the lab, that's when Darvis's results had came in. Lil dude been keeping his head up high, he's been good since then just keeping his mind mostly in his work.

Moms walked away, sitting on the sectional. She wiped her face clearing away her tears, they soon came back as she gripped Messiahs little hands.

"Nike please don't let this baby be yours, you got so much to do with your life Nike. Don't ruin it now" she weeped. I didn't like seeing my moms like this, she been through so much these past few months.

"Lord please, please" she cried. Mane this hurt me so much, she was basically pleading with god for her son's life that she provided, to not fall apart. I could understand that completely, I wouldn't want Messiah to go through this for nun. She just didn't understand how much love I had got for this lil jhit in this small amount of time, ion think nobody understands. I would do anything in this big world for him and his momma.

I appreciate them so much.

I nodded my head. "It's gon be alright momma, we gon see how stuff plays out. Everything gon be straight" I spoke..

I stayed at the hospital for 4 days before I could go home. I had a good stay, the nurses were amazing. The food was. Ok.. but that don't even matter, as long as my babygirl is healthy. She's officially one week old today. My baby growing up too fast.

I was all settled in. I was upstairs sitting in my room with Zoe, she had Brielle feeding her for me. Ray was downstairs setting up the portable bassinet. In the living section.

Ray has been here since day one, he's an amazing father to Brielle. She acts fake towards me when her daddy's around. Little daddies girl.

Zoe's been an amazing help as well. She's so happy to be a auntie.

"Look at mommas baby" I said snapping pictures of her. She's so cute! She laid in Zoe's arm, scrunched up. Man babies got it easy!

'Front door' the speaker on the alarm rang through the house as the front door was swung open.

"Momma home" Zoe spoke.

Not long later a voice shouted from down the hall. "Nattily bring me my baby" moms yelled as she came through the door.

"Zoe go give Brielle to momma, and make sure she wash her hands before she touch my child" I said, laid up in bed.

Zoe got up, cradling Brielle. She kisses her forehead after she arose. "Don't be kissing on my baby" I snapped as she walked away.

I laid back getting comfy. Not long later, Ray came up. Walking through the door, Coming to check on me. He came over, crawling into the bed cuddling up with me. He wrapped his arms around pulling me close. "I love you baby" he whispered into my ear.

"I love you too" I said, as I kissed his soft lips. "Babe can I talk to you bout something" I asked, looking him in his eyes.

"Wssp" he responded. I gazed into his eyes for a little before I broke the ice.

"Did you sleep with that Anaya girl?" I asked, he turned his face going quiet. I just took that as a yes.

"What the fuck Ray, how old is she?" I asked, disgusted.

"Nattily, she lied about her age. That ain't my fault" he said getting defensive. I should've known it was true, Ray can't keep his fucking dick in his pants for one damn second.

"You need to take that paternity test" I spoke up letting him know Wssup. He looked over at me like I was dumb.

"Hell nah, that ain't my baby. I wrapped it up" he said, lying through his teeth, as always.

"Then how the fuck you got yo self wrapped up in this shit Raymond?" I spoke, raising my voice. He knew I was beyond pissed. I just didn't have the strength to argue, I was already going through a lot.

He went quiet, trying not to make eye contact.

"I'm serious Ray, if you gon fuck around the least you could do is wear a rubber" I said catching a attitude.

He looked back and forth from me to the floor. "Mane Ight, look now when that baby don't come back mine ion wanna hear no more bout this bull shit. From nobody!" He demanded, he only agreed just to shut me up. I already knew, well too bad too sad he stuck with me for life!

Since I became a mommy to my beautiful babygirl, I see how much you have to sacrifice to bring a child into this world. Shit how much you gotta go through, to give birth and raise a newborn. It's a lot.

And with that girl being so young, i wouldn't wish doing all this alone on nobody. I'm super blessed to have Ray and my family here to support me. If Rays this babies father, he's gon be a father to this child just like he's been for our babygirl. And I wouldn't want Brielle not knowing her sibling if that is his baby.

Man this isn't fair. If he just would have stayed that loyal, charming guy I feel in love with, nun of this would've happened. He told me he loved me since day one, I should've known he never meant it. I just really pray this baby ain't his...

[Later that night..]

My phone rung as Tory's name scattered across the top of my phone. Me and her became close in these last few months. Where y'all think I be getting my tea from? Sis can't keep her mouth shut! And she be doing her dawg dirty too. Going in!

"Yo wssup" I greeted answering the phone

"Wssup, what yo big head ass doin?" she joked.

"Girl, bout to go to bed" I replied. She shook her head side to side. "Yo behind be going to bed hella early as" she said rolling her eyes. I laughed

"So Wssup with you, what's been going on?" I asked being nosy.

"Man nothing really, Darvis's test results had came back in last week" Tory spoke spilling the tea.

"He the daddy?" I asked, jumping up out of my bed

"Nah, not him" she replied back. "Happy ass" she joked, laughing

I rolled my eyes. This bitch!

"I know you ain't still friends with the bitch" I talked, raising a eyebrow through the screen.

"I mean, ion really talk to her like that as I use to. I just be the there for the shit" she joked. It was kinda true tho, is it just a coincidence that Tory's always in the middle of some mess? "Nah but for real though, ion really fuck with with her like that as heavy as I did" she spoke up.

"Mhm" I mumbled squinting my eyes.

"What I'm serious" she spoke in between laughter. "But we still close though, that bond can't be broken" she said, quickly correcting herself. I nodded. Man this bitch faker than half these hoes hair, I gotta keep my eyes on her.

"Alright, well I'm bout to head to bed" I said getting up, shutting off my room light

"Alright girl, night" she said as she laid herself back

"Night" I said before ending the FaceTime call..

To be continued....
