"Friday is fine?" She said while filing her nails.

Dakota was on the phone with her obstetrician's secretary listening to her appointment dates.

"Alright thank you!" She stated before ending the call.

She was in the office of the salon waiting on the contractor to call her about doing another renovation.

"Hey, baby sis" A voice stated.

NATE RAY HUNTERS

AGE: 24

She turns to see her twin brother being older by two minutes; Nate stood there with her food she asked him to go get from the vegan restaurant up the street.

Ever since she found out she was expecting she hasn't had the right time to even tell the rest of her family about the pregnancy let alone her still being in shock about it.

Dakota's friends and some of her family knew about it but not her fathers side she was still trying to find the right time to tell them without any distractions.

"Nate, thank you for getting my food, how are things!" She says happily.

"Everything good. Brandon was supposed to come but you know he had some stuff to do with niecey." He responded.

"Well come in, take a seat!" She says.

"Aight so Brandon an ma told me you finna have another kid is it true?" He asked while taking a seat.

Nate was her twin brother he had flew in from New York along with her niece Heaven. Heaven and Noah were born a day apart within the same year which was so funny to them both.

"Yeah it's true, I'm almost in my second trimester too." She responds.

"Damn, it's King Von from da O huh!" He said chuckling.

"Boy stop that yelling, I don't want people to know about any of this." She said standing up.

Dakota went and shut her office door before turning to face him with her hands folded.

"So how many you having?." He asked

"Boy, what I tell you about your mouth. I'm having twins, anyway how's everything been." Dakota said.

"Been good, Brandon just getting on my nerves talking about moving back to Arizona with moms." He said sitting back.

"Well mom told me something, Since I'm expecting is planning on moving here to Chicago to help me with these kids ." She says.

"Why don't you move out of Chicago shit always going down out here." He responded.

Dakota sighed she honestly was planning on moving away from Chicago maybe to Atlanta but she honestly ain't know where she wanted to move too. Anyway she grabbed her bag of food opening it before taking a bit out of t he sandwich.

"My nieces or nephews' must be hungry?" He says staring at her.

"This is the only thing I can eat besides fruit." She says before biting into the sandwich.

"Noah man how uncle lil man!" Nate said as he picked up his nephew.

Noah had learned how to walk and now he was getting into everything as well he's starting to bite people with his three little teeth.

"U been good fa ya mama?" Nate says while messing with his cheeks.

"He's been bad, he bit his grandma yesterday." She says while typing on her computer.

"What, nephew why you biting folks?" He says staring at him.

Heaven came walking over messing with Dakota's jacket causing her to pick up her little niece while she made a bunch of noise.

HEAVEN HUNTERS

"Aye girl quit that noise out!" Nate says with a light laugh.

"She's probably so happy to see her auntie!" Dakota says with a smile.

Dakota was left alone in her office she of course was going back an forth with Von via facetime while she counted the save and money that was made for the day.

While she was counting the hundred dollar bills in her hand the phone started to beep allowing her to know a text had came through, she stared at it to see Dakari's name pop up again.

"Who dat?" Von asked.

"Well foe nem got me fucked up. Do I gotta beat his ass again?" Von asked.

even care at this point, now he's wanting to see his son after a whole two weeks of stressing me out." She responds.

"U dont need to be stressin my babies out I'll fuck dat nigga up again wheneva I see him again cause dats my son on king dave." Von stated.

"What'd u say?" Von asked.

Just then there was a breaking sound of glass that made her look in the direction of the door but she went back to what she was doing maybe it was one of her workers.

"U in da saloin by yoself?" He asked.

"Yup, I got this too don then I can finally go home and take my much needed rose petal bath with bubbles an some rosemary's." Dakota stated with a smirk.

"Send me a pic?" He said licking his lips.

"Boy!' Dakota said laughing.

"Aye imma call u back true actin up, love u!" He says.

The call ends and Dakota went back to counting the fifty dollar bills and twenty's as well, before a male's voice caused her to jump.

She turned to see someone standing there with a black mask on and a gun pointed right in her direction, Dakota stared at the person while slowly pulling out her glock holding it behind her back.

The person didn't say anything but raised the gun up pulling the trigger sticking her once in the neck, and another bullet hitting the thigh area causing Dakota fall back.

She looked up raising the glock firing back while chasing whoever the person was before falling to the ground.

Von shot up out of his sleep to his phone ringing off the hook, he grabs it off the charger answering the phone call.

"Who dis?" He answered.

"What's wrong is it da babies?" Von asked.

Von cleared his throat as he looked around the room.

"What hospital ya at imma be on my way." He said.
