    “Shit , I’ll be right back . Fo sho,” I say as I grab my keys off the kitchen counter. As usual, my mom is pissed when I pull up.
    “Did you give me the right directions Jay?” she asks as she pulls up to my Lincoln.
    “Yes ma’am . I did. Why are you really mad mama? I ask as I put the car in park. “Hey Auntie. Hey Jenise.”
    “I’m scared Ki gonna blame me for this. I mean he was with me,” she says with tears slowly falling down his cheeks.
    I’m a grown man, but I always melt  when my mama breaks down.
    “Nah , ma. She ain’t gonna blame you. She just ain’t going to let them out of her sight for a while,” I laugh as I get back in my car. She smiles  and laughs too
    “Oh you got a FedEx package Jay.”
    I park the car again, open the door, and walk to the car.
    “FedEx. What’s this?” I ask as I rip the top open. “Awl, shit! Damn!”
    “You want me to get out of this car Jaylin Terrell Winters! Curse again!”
    “Nah, mama. Jayla she’s mine .99.999 percent. See!” I say as I pass her the blood test results. 
    “Okay son. Congratulations. But it’s gonna kill Tracy.”
    “Damn . I know. Let’s go . Don’t say nothing. You either Auntie. I’m going to tell her when I get home later.”

She getting thick and she finna have  my baby too. My phone beeps letting me know I got a text message. Damn, it’s J.D. I wonder if he found Miguel. I stop at the red light, and check the message.
    “Mi , on his way to the house.”
    “That’s what’s up.”
    I forgot that Jovian there too. Mane, I hope these niggas act like they got some common sense.

    Ki is at the grill hooking the meat up and I’m dancing to Maze featuring Frankie Beverly with Mama Jo , Jo. Sr. Auntie, Jaylin, and the kids. Ki’s mama Denise is dancing too. For once in a long time, I feel good. The only thing missing is Miguel. The doorbell rings and Ki asks me to get it. I walk through the double doors from the patio to the living room and look out the peephole. What the fuck? I step out of the door onto the porch and quickly close the door behind me. He is definitely high.
    “Teddy Bear, how did you know where I was?” I ask.
    “You got your locator on your phone,” he says as he touches his nose.
    “Um Teddy Bear. What’s up? Ki’s son just got home  .You know he got kidnapped right? So , Jaylin is  here.”
    “Okay. I’m here now too. Let me in.”
    “Nah . I will come over when I leave here.”
    “You better and bring some night clothes  cause you spending the night with me. Matter-of-fact you need to move in. I’m going to give you two weeks to break up with him. Or I’ll do it for you.” he says as he walks pass J.D. and Ki’s friend Trina.
    “Hey Tray,” J.D. says as he hugs me .
    “Hey J.D. Wat’s up Trina? That bob looks good on you girl,” I say as we hug it up.
    She is so down to earth and cool. She notices the spooked look on my face, and I guess J.D picks up on it too.
    “I’m going to the grill Ki sholl knows how to cook. Trina make yourself at home ,” he says as he walks in the door. “Tray it will be aight baby girl. I promise.”
    “Thanks brother –in-law. Save me sum shrimp though.”
    “Tray , wats wrong?” Trina asks.
    “I slept with the devil. He keeps coming by my house, my parents’ house, and now Ki’s house . I don’t know what to do .If I tell Jaylin – he will kill his ass. And I can’t lose him.”
    As the tears roll down my face, Trina embraces me and wipes them away.
    “Baby girl , we all make crazy decisions  that we wish we could take back Tracy. Just pray and make the best decision for you.”
    “Thank you , Trina. Please don’t tell Ki . She will flip put and fight,” I laugh for the first time since Teddy Bear ruined my day.
    “Girl , no
