Terrance made his way into Ravens room. Elijah on his shoulder fast asleep. They had been playing all morning while Robyn and Raven sat in the room sleeping or doing whatever it is that girls do.

"You good Ray?"

She nods her head and tosses her phone to the other side of the bed. Stephen wasn't answering her calls anymore and it was annoying her. Yes she was wrong for not being direct but it wasn't his business.

She hadn't been fucking Terrance and the thought never crossed either of their minds. Terrance respected Stephen too much to even think about it.

"What's wrong with yo face?"

"Nothing T, I'm good."

"You not. Talk."

She rolled her eyes and pointed to her phone. He unlocked it and went through it. Seeing Stephens name more than 10 times he already knew what had happened.

"He asked if we fucked didn't he?"

"First question."

"What you say?"

"Asked him why it mattered."

His eyes got wide. At this point he didn't know if she liked pissing him off or what but this shit wasn't about to be on him.

"The fuck is wrong with you? I don't wanna die. I'm bout to call that nigga right now. You trippin Ray."

"What I'm doing isn't his business."

"Yes the fuck it is when the nigga almost killed his best friend over you. Nah we bout to call this nigga right now."

He pulls his phone out dialing the number displayed on ravens phone. It rings twice before Stephens face appears. Smug look plastered on his face.

"Wussup bro?"

"You fuckin my wife man."

"Nah. She on some other shit right now."

"Watch how you speak on her."

"Look E I ain't no bitch or nothing but I ain't tryna die over a shawty that won't just say shit straight out. Ray tell him we ain't fuck."

"I'm not fucking him. You're a fuckin dickhead I can't even have friends without you thinking I'm fuckin them."

She rolls her eyes and pushes the phone back in Terrance's direction. Him and Stephen laugh Terrances' a little more nervous but hey.

The two talk a little more and Terrance catches him up on life and the kids. He lets Stephen know everything he needs to know and even goes as far as helping him plan on fixing his marriage and doing it right.

They hang up and Terrance makes his way back upstairs after putting the kids in their pens.

Ravens in the kitchen cooking. Her growing belly restricting her from being as close to the stove as she wants to be. He couldn't lie and say she wasn't beautiful but she wasn't wrapped too tight. Her and Stephen were meant for each other.

Raven turned around once hearing his footsteps and rolled her eyes going back to what she was doing.

"Fix your attitude."

"Fuck you. Scary ass."

"Because I didn't wanna die. That's some selfish shit. Y'all crazy asses are made for each other."

She laughs.

As much as she hated hearing it she knew it. The two would end up being married legally once Stephen finished with his treatment. She wasn't even upset with the fact, she just hated how right everyone was.

A slight knock on the door caught both of their attention. Terrance prayed it wasn't Stephen and raven just wondered who it could be.

Walking towards the door he looked through the peephole. A toned dark skin man stood on the other side. Once the face turned forward he was shook.

"Oh shit." He whispered.

He opened the door and stepped out not wanting to startle Ray.

"Wussup man long time no see."

David nodded. Raven was a slut to him now.

"She fuckin you too? That bitch for everybody."

Terrance stopped himself from smacking his friend like the bitch he was.

"Nah chill with that shit we just friends."

"That's what I said. But she was begging me to fuck her so I did. She gone do the same to you soon if she hasn't already."

"Nah I would never do E like that."

David scoffs. Stephen wasn't the one to be loyal to. Shit he wasn't even loyal to his wife and she was everything every man wanted.

"You stickin your neck out for a nigga that would kill you just for being here. He must not know."

"He does."

David laughs again. "Oh. That nigga cheating again. Imma go in here and see what she up to then."

"Nah g. Not after you disrespected her."

"Damn T you sticking up for her like she yo bitch."

Raven opens the door finally and her eyes almost drop out of her head. She looks down at her belly and twiddles her thumbs avoiding eye contact with David.

"Wussup baby girl. You lookin good as always."

He slips pass Terrance to get a quick hug and kiss her cheek.

"You... you shouldn't be here. Why are you here?"

"You acting like you don't miss a nigga."

She wasn't acting though. She hated David. The last time the spoke he called her a hoe basically and stupid for not choosing him. And now here he was back on her door step.

"What do you want David?"

"You."

Raven rolls her eyes. The more he talked the more she hated him.

"Funny. Because last time I checked you hated me for getting back with my husband."

"I had every right to be upset. That nigga almost killed me and you still fell in love with him after a nut and some bullshit promise that he changed."

Terrance was getting annoyed with the whole back and forth. David needed to leave. He wasn't doing anything but stressing raven out and pissing him off the more he talked.

"Ight man it's time for you to bounce."

"I'll leave when she tell me to Paul blart."

"He's right. You should go."

He nodded his head in annoyance.

"Word? I'm out then. Don't fuck him too tho."

"Fuck you."

He brushes past Terrance bumping his shoulder. This sets Terrance off making him send a mean jab to his right jaw.

"Bro stop playing with me. I'm still that nigga."

David cocks back to hit him and misses while Terrance lands a nasty blow to his nose making it bleed almost immediately.

"I'll spin yo fuckin jaw man leave."

David nods in defeat and heads to his car backing out of the driveway. Terrance points towards the house and raven walks in defeated. This day was just stressing him out more and more. There wasn't enough money in the fuckin world to keep him at this job.

Playing games by summer walker plays loudly once he enters the house. The kids walking around the front room and playing with toys. This is a life he wanted. And he couldn't wait for Stephen to come back and take over so he could get a start on his family after he graduated in a couple weeks.

His phone rang displaying Stephens name on the screen.

His voice bellows loudly through the phone.

"The fuck was David doing at the house."

"Bro get a life it got handled. I'll hit you up later. Yo shawty stressing me out a nigga need a nap."
