6 months later

Aubrey had touched down in Miami after 6 months of being gone. She spent her months in LA just focusing on herself and bringing peace to her life. Still paying rent on her Miami apartment. She kept in contact with Danny and Tommie, sending pictures until they just came to a stop for personal reasons.

Dropping her bags down on her apartment floor, she gave a soft smile not sure if she was excited about being home, and her mind fell on LA once again, maybe that's where she needed to live for good. Showering she changed for "Tommie's Kitchen" grand opening event. Aubrey had warned Tommie that her appearance may cause hell at her grand opening, but she insisted for Aubrey to come.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, she wanted to support her friend, but she didn't want to bring attention to herself and take it away from Tommie.

After Dave put his hands on her AND found a way to disappoint her, she dipped out on him, and didn't look back.

She glanced at her outfit in the full length mirror, taking a picture.

Aubrey was now 5 months pregnant and the happiest she's been in a while. Grabbing her Chanel bag and keys, she walked out the house getting in her car and leaving. She thought about switching her car out for the Mercedes- Maybach truck. More room for her child.

She hadn't found out the sex of the baby yet because she wanted her two best friends to be the ones to throw the gender reveal party. After driving for a while she pulled up to Tommie's restaurant, sighing loudly. She knew that East was going to be in there, and she was preparing herself for the drama. She knew her wrongs.

Climbing out the car, she walked to the front door of Tommie's restaurant. Pushing her tongue into her cheek, she pulled the door open walking in. Her head was held high, and a smile was planted on her face scanning the interior. It was decorated exactly how Tommie had showed her months back. She walked to Tommie and Danny their mouth falling open in shock by Aubrey's protruding stomach.

"BREEEEEEEE!" Tommie screamed making her laugh, the group hugged each other, feeling complete once again.

"Oh my gosh baby mama, what are you having? You are showing like all hell. I can't believe it. How far along are you?" Danny threw out questions, making her bite her bottom lip.

"I don't know, I wanted you guys to throw me a gender reveal, and almost 6 months." Danny's face smirked, looking at Tommie.

"Na uh, in New York?" She nodded her head, giggling. Her hand touching her belly, she rubbed it slowly.

"Does East know?" Tommie looked over at East, his face straight. She shook her head no, with a shrug.

"Nope, I haven't told anyone really. Y'all are the first to find out." Aubrey looked around, she spotted East around some girl, she just talked and he acted as if he listened. Aubrey knew him well.

"She's only been around for like two months. He went through the emotions, sad, and then he got mad as hell, became like how he was at first. I mean, he's still mean... she's kinda there to fill the void. Now you're back, so she can get deleted" Tommie went on, making Aubrey shake her head no.

"No, I'm good on it. Now, where's the menus? Me and my baby came here to eat you outta a restaurant" Aubrey laughed, excusing herself she went to place her order in, and order a large lemonade. Typing away on her phone, she text the only person she became friends with in California. Taylor.

Turning around she bumped into someone dropping her phone. Looking down at her phone, the thought of bending down made her want to cry. Her belly prevented a lot of things. Noticing the tattoo on his fingers as he grabbed her phone, Aubrey kept her head down as he handed her the phone.

"Twin, that's you?!" Reek loud ass voice, shouted making her sigh.

"Oooh, I hate your freckled face ass" lifting her head up, she looked at Reek with a smile. "Yes twin, it's me." Both his and Dave's eyes dropped to her stomach. If she wasn't lazy, she would've ran out.

"You shitting me?" Dave chuckled in a menacing tone, scaring Aubrey. She's never heard him sound like this.

"You a fucking hoe. You left Miami and went and got pregnant?" His hand wrapped around Aubrey's throat squeezing tightly. Clawing at his hands, everyone around stared. Danny and Tommie ran over to him.

"What the fuck are you doing East? She's pregnant!" Tommie tried to pull him away, only making him squeeze tighter.

"This bitch leave for 6 months and get pregnant by another nigga?" His eyes grew darker, and Aubrey wanted someone to save her. Reek did nothing, it wasn't his business.

"another who?! Fool, she got pregnant in New York!" Danny yelled at him, East hands unwrapped around her throat, Aubrey touched her throat coughing, and when she finally caught her breath she left out the restaurant, going to her car locking the doors.

Resting her head on the staring wheel, she cried realizing how much of a bad idea coming back to Miami really was. She thought about packing up again and leaving. She couldn't run from her problems, again.

When Aubrey seen East run out the restaurant looking for her car, she pushed the start button and pulled out the parking spot. She knew coming was a bad idea. So, she just went with buying Tommie an expensive gift to make up for it.

After dropping Mariah off at home, Dave drove to Aubrey's house. He just knew Aubrey wasn't that bold to keep her pregnancy away from him for 6 months straight. The bitch had some nerve.

Mad was an understatement. He needed words beyond that like enraged, irate, fuming and even then he didn't feel like it was enough.

Using the key to her apartment, He looked at Aubrey sitting on the couch with a carton of ice cream sitting on her stomach, a bag of Lays and sour power straws. If he wasn't so mad, he might've smiled

"You a fucked up individual I just want you to know that" He mugged her, she sighed turning the tv down.

"Look Whose talking? Mr.Ichokepregnantwoman" she spat back closing up her ice cream, she stood up walking to the kitchen.

"I thought you went and got pregnant. I was stressed as fuck when you left. Calling you, texting you, and you-" Aubrey cut him off to talk "I blocked your number"

"That gives you no right to choke me! Like it gave you no right to grab me by my hair, or leave me when I needed your support, when I gave you 100% support going to visit your mom. Which was fucking hard because I don't have mine." She mugged him, chuckling.

"WHO GIVES A FUCK! That's my child you're carrying bitch, you don't do no shit like that. When my child is born, I'm taking him or her. Imma let my new bitch play mommy. I'm going to choose when you see the baby" Aubrey mouth fell open, she busted out laughing.

"Boy, I will set you the fuck up. Make that whole empire go to pieces. Have you lit the fuck up somewhere." She smirked, testing Dave.

"That's if I don't let niggas in New York get word of Malaysia Renee Sanchez in Miami's hospital."

Dave watched Aubrey grab the butcher knife, his smirk never leaving his face. "Imma be here everyday, and when I'm not someone else is going to be here watching. You try to leave if you want to." Dave argued back, looking at Aubrey as if he disgusted her.

Her straight face turned into tears, her loud sobs filled the apartment. Dave just watched her, wanting her to feel the pain that he felt. He didn't plan on doing any of the things he spoke of. When he felt like it was enough, his mug softened.

"Aubrey man, shut up." Grabbing her hand, he pulled her into a hug. Rubbing her back, he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Stop crying."

She shook her head no, "You don't see anything wrong in what you did to make me leave, I would admit my wrongs but you really can't admit anything. you only see your feelings and that's fucking selfish! I hate you!" She pulled away from him, going into her room laying on the bed. She cried silently, her tears soaking her pillow, Dave got undressed laying beside her.

"Man Aubrey, stop crying forreal. I know what I said. I wouldn't do that shit. I might make your life Hell, but I just wouldn't do that other shit."

Pulling her closer, they cuddled with each other. Neither of them forgiven for what they'd done, but right now it was enough for them. Dave rubbed Aubrey's stomach in circles, and she fell asleep in his arms.
