"What's going on Key" I said as he tried to walk into the house quietly. "Don't start Lyric" he said as he locked the door. "You have some damn nerve." I scoffed. "You walk in here at three in the morning for the past two months without letting me know anything." I said loudly as I followed behind him into the kitchen.

"Sorry" he said dryly as he leaned his crutches against the island before limping towards the fridge. "The only thing you have to say to me is sorry." I said in disbelief.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME LYRIC" he yelled as he threw his head back in frustration. "I'VE BEEN IN DIS HOUSE ALONE WHILE YOU GO OUT TO DO GODS KNOWS WHAT. I WANT YOU TO BE HERE FOR ME LIKE I ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU." I yelled.

"We don't even got to do all dis yelling" Key said looking at me as he licked over his lips. "I've been trying to figure out who did dis shit yo." he said. "Wow" I said shaking my head at him. "It's never enough for you" he said.

"FUCK YOU MARKEYVIOUS" I yelled pointing my fingers in his face. "WATCH YO FUCKKIN MOUTH" he yelled smacking my hand out of his face. "YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT. ALL YOU FUCKKIN CARE ABOUT IS THE DAMN STREETS." I yelled as tears felled from my eyes.

"You don't understand" he said as he let out a low sigh while looking in the refrigerator. "MAYBE BECAUSE IT ALMOST TOOK YOUR DAMN LIFE" I yelled slamming the refrigerator door.

"IT ALMOST TOOK ME AND YOUR CHILDS LIFE" I yelled looking up at him defeated. "I've been here alone while pregnant with your child while you give me the cold shoulder. I've been home alone everyday scared out of my mind. I was there for you the whole time you was in a coma, I was there. Your not here for me. "

"I WAS FUCKING SHOT LYRIC" he yelled slamming the refrigerator door close. "YOUR NOT THE ONLY DAMN ONE THATS HURTING" I yelled as my voice croaked. "I'm hurting, but i'm still here for you emotionally and physically." I said.

"But what about me huh" I asked pointing at myself. Earning nothing but silence I started to rush out of the kitchen. "Lyric wait" he said. "NO, FUCK YOU MARKEYVIOUS. YOUR NOTHING BUT A SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT" I yelled.

"Lyy-ric" Key said stuttering over his words as he started to rush behind me as I rushed up the upstairs to pack my things. "Wait where you going" he asked as I went into the closet grabbing a suitcase. "I just need time" I said sniffling. "Time for what Lyric. You can't leave me" he said approaching me.

"I just need to get a clear mind" I said walking around him heading towards the bedroom door. "Lyric it's too late to be driving and it's raining" he said limping behind me. I let out a deep sigh as on cue a loud burst of thunder could be heard. I walked out the room heading towards the guest bedroom. I slammed the door in Key's face as he tried to follow me in.

I locked the door before leaning against it. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath as I cried silently. I let go of the suitcase before sliding down the door. I ignored Key as he banged on the door. I pulled my knees up to my chest as I heard him say "I love you" before walking off.

"I love you too" I whispered before crying myself to sleep the rest of the night.

"You sure everything's okay" Shanice asked with worry in her voice over the other end of the phone. "Yeaa, I just need you to keep her for a couple more of days" I said lying. "Okayy, I love you" she said. "Love ya too" I said before hanging up.

I look up as Lyric walked in. If anyone was there they would most definitely know that their was tension between the two. I watch her studying her every move, she was wearing an oversized sweatshirt that had Nicki Minaj on the front with a pair of burgundy joggers.

How can I fuck everything up when she's everything a nigga been wanting. I knew I had to get my shit together. Guilt started to come upon me as I stare at her as she looked into the fridge. She turnt around as my phone started to ring.

"Yoo" I said answering the phone. "I'm outside pussy" Dre said. "Ight give me ten" I said. "Nigga if you don't hur-" he started to say causing me to hang up. I cleared my throat before saying "Umm, i'm finna head out with Dre" I said nodding my head towards the door.

She nodded her head at me before picking up her phone from the island. "How's the baby" I asked. "Fine" she said as she looked down into her phone. "Lyr-" I started to say until we hear somebody blowing a car horn.

"Imma beat dis nigga ass" I mumbled to myself as I walked out the kitchen towards the front door. I walked out seeing that it was Lani ghetto ass. "Imma beat yo ass" I said pointing my finger at her as she flicked me off.

"Nigga bring yo ass on" Dre yelled from his car. "Im going with Lani" Lyric lowly mumbled not making eye contact. "Hold on" I said as I grabbed ahold of her arm. I pulled out my wallet from my back pocket, before taking out six hundred dollar bills.

"Let me know if you need more" I said licking over my lips as I handed her the money. I pulled her into me before placing a kiss on her forehead. I lifted her head up so she could look at me. "I love you, and I promise imma get my shit together. Not only for you but for our kids. We gone talk when you get home. " I said staring her into her eyes so she knew that I was serious.

She nodded her head at me. I pulled her in a hug knowing that she wouldn't pull away since everybody was watching us. "Let me know when ya make it" I said before pulling away. "BABYMOMMA" Tae yelled from the passenger seat."Uhh uhh you getting in the back" she said to him as she walked up to the passenger side.

"I'm not getting them damn crutches" I mumbled to myself as I walked into the house seeing them leaning against the wall. I set the alarm before locking the door. I threw my hand up at Lani's car as she backed out of the driveway.

"Nigga don't be rushing me" I said to Dre as I got in the car. "Gas ain't cheap nigga" he said mugging me. "Fuck up nigga" I said before smacking his head.

"Yo ass play too much" he said mugging me before pulling out the driveway. "Wea yo crutches crippled ass nigga" he asked laughing. "I ain't using them shits" I said. "Wea we going" I asked as I pulled out a pack of blunts. "Trap" he said, I nodded my head at him as I started rolling a blunt.

"You excited for da baby" he asked looking at me before looking at the road. "Yea" I said as I let out a deep sigh as I brushed my hand across my head. "Nigga you sound unsure" he said looking at me crazy.

"Nahh it's just I haven't really sat down and actually comprehended that I have a baby on the way. It's just been so much shit going on that a nigga neglecting his priorities." I said before I licked the blunt.

"You focus on your family an shit, and let me handle the rest" he said. I just nodded my head at him as I sparked up the blunt. Me and him both knew that I wasn't going to sit this one out.

Once I find out who was behind all of this, it won't end well. I don't care who it is.

"Is India there already" Tae asked Alani. "Yea she just texted that she already got us an table" Lani said as she looked down at her phone. "Bitch pay attention to the road" I yelled looking at her crazy

"My bad" she said laughing. "Dis hoe can't drive anyways" Tae said shaking his head. "Right, but who's India" I said. "She's an IG model you probably will know her when you see her" Lani said. "Not you making new friends" I said scrunching my face up.

"Trust me you'll like her" Lani said as she pulled up to the restaurant. "I'm so under dressed" I said frowning up my face as we got out the car. "Bitch you look good, i'm loving the oversized look" Tae said.

"We all is, except Tae extra ass" Lani said locking the car door. "Okay and what about it" Tae said mugging Lani. She flicked him off before walking towards the restaurant door. "Wait take my pictures" Tae said handing me his phone.

"A water will be fine" I said to to the waitress as she took my food and drink order. "Bitch is you sick or sum" Tae said looking at me crazy. "Not everybody wanna drink everyday" I said rolling my eyes. "Uhh uhh bitch speak for yourself" Lani said causing everybody to laugh.

"Y'all aggy" I said to them. "Her ass might be pregnant, her face is getting fat" Tae said. Alani looked off to the side. "My face is not getting fat" I pouted. "Is it" I asked as I turned to face Lani with tears in my eyes. "Lyric your not getting fat" Lani said wiping the tear as it rolled down my cheek.

"Lyric I was just playing" Tae said with a shocked look on his face as I started crying. "She's pregnant" India said. "Very" Lani lowly mumbled. I picked up a napkin to dry my tears.

"I'm four months" I said looking at Tae. "YOUR PREGNANT" he yelled looking at me crazy. "Stop damn yelling" Lani said smacking his arm. "Aww lyriccc" he said hugging me. "I'm so happy for you" he pouted. "Congrats" India said smiling.

"Thank you guys" I said trying not to cry again. "Do you know the gender" India asked. "No, i'm having a gender reveal in a couple of weeks and miss thang over here is the only one that knows it" I said nodding my head at Lani.

"Actually I don't know yet cause I haven't opened the results. And I know when I do imma cry my eyes out." Lani said. "I wanna see the belly" Tae said. I lifted up my shirt so he could see my belly bump which wasn't much.

"I literally have to suck in my belly for pictures now, I don't know how long I can go for doing it" I said as Tae rubbed my belly. "Look" I said pulling out my phone going to my camera roll to show them how I suck my belly in.
