Jayda.
"Hello?"I answered my phone in a groggily voice.
"Jayda!"Havana cried up in the phone.
I pulled the phone from my ear and looked at it weirdly before putting it back up to my ear "Havana what's wrong with you?"
"He...He took my baby!"She cried out.

Cam.
I was at the hospital with Ky's mom who was a crying mess.
"Cameron baby what happened again?"She asked crying somemore.
Ky mom was young and very beautiful...She still looked like a teenager when she was really thirty two. She was short and thick with a brown skin complexion and she had long hair. She always stayed out of town because she was a traveling nurse.
"We were walking from the basketball court and this van passed by us,then next thing we knew a bunch of gun shots start going off."
"Jesus my poor baby."She said crying some more.
Ky other siblings was here as well. I've been staying with them ever since Jayda's place got broken into.
"Family of Kyrie Staples?"The Doctor announced and we all walked up to him.
"I'm his mother. How is my son?"Ky's mom asked.
"I'm sorry...but he didn't make it."

Cj.
"Man you look just like yo' daddy"My uncle Maurice said to me as we were sitting down at one of his clubs.
"Man everybody been telling me that.."I grinned waving him off.
"You know he would be proud of you. You took over his empire and is handling it very good."He said sitting back and drinking out of his cup.
"Thanks unc,but I gotta head out my moms want me to stop by her house for Sunday dinner."I said getting up off of the couch.
Back in the day my pops was a wealthy king pin and he was popping and my pops had lots of acquaintances and lots of enemies,but one of his close partners got jealous of him and caught him slippin'. Bad thing about that is I was right in the car with him when he kilt my pops. Imagine being eleven years old and ya pops just got shot in the head right infront of you....You would be fucked up to.
"Well alright young buck, you be careful in these streets"My uncle said getting up and dapping me up.
"I got you unc"I said and then walked out.
I hopped in my car and sped off to my moms house. As I was driving I start thinking about Jayda, I really missed her and I know that I fucked up with her. I shouldn't have did what I did,because now I lost the girl I was inlove with.
When I got to my moms house I got out of my car and knocked on the door.
"Bubbyyyyy!"My lil sister yelled jumping me.
"Hey pookie"I picked her up "What you doing opening mama door? You know she gone get you for doing that"I said walking inside.
"Marissa who told you to open my damn door?"My mom fussed coming down the stairs. "I told you about doing that shit,come here so I can beat yo ass"She fussed and my lil sister start clinging on me harder.
"Hey ma"I chuckled and she looked up at me and broke into a smile.
"Hey baby"She put her belt down and came over and gave me a hug and kissed me on my cheek.
"What you cookin? It smells good"I said putting Pookie down and walking towards the living room.
"Just a lil sum sum for my babies"My mom said getting cheered up. "Gone ahead and sit down in the dining room."
I did as she told me and walked into the dining room. I sat down and pulled my phone out, my background was still a picture of me and Jayda and we were in the car and she was smiling while I was in the background holding up a stack if money and I was smiling as well.
Damn I miss her.
"Where is that beautiful girl?"My mom asked coming up from behind me and looking all in my phone.
"We not together no more ma'."I responded and she frowned up.
"What you mean? I really liked her...Christopher please tell me you didn't cheat on that girl."
"Well...."I trailed off and she cut her eyes at me.
"A damn shame"She shook her head "Let me guess she is the one that gave you that big scratch on the side of your face."
I just nodded my head. "Good because I would beat ya ass too."
"Can we just eat ma? I don't want to talk about Jayda right now."
The whole situation had me mad tight...I know what I did was wrong,but she ain't have to spazz on a nigga like that. I really wanted to slap her head off her shoulders,but I was raised better than that.
As we were eating the doorbell rung and my moms got up to go answer the door,and I took my phone out and start texting Tristan and James.
"Daddyyyy!"Pookie yelled jumping out of her seat.
I froze for a few seconds and then looked up from my phone.
"Hey son..."

Havana.
I sat there crying looking at myself in the mirror,my eye was swollen shut my lip was busted and I had a big knot on my head.
After Austyn beat me with his gun he packed up his and Abrianna stuff and just left. I just wanted my baby back; I could care less about Austyn.
I heard knocks at the door and I left out of the bathroom to see who was at the door. I opened the door and Jayda was right there. She gasped loudly looking over my face.
"Oh my God...Austyn did all of this to you?"She asked gently touching my face.
"Yes. He took my baby Jayda"I said starting to cry "I just want my babygirl."I cried somemore as she pulled me into her.
"It's okay H, We're going to find Austyn and we gone get Bri back"She rubbed my back. "Look at your face"
"I know. He didn't mean it..."I trailed off and she looked at me like I was crazy.
"Girl what? Look at your fucking face... Havana girl I love you and all,but you cheated on him with one of his close homeboy's and then he beat the dog shit outta you...and you gone say he didn't mean it?"She lectured "He meant that shit..."
"Look Jayda I-"
"Let me take this..."She said interrupting me and pulling out her ringing phone.
I sat down on the couch looking at all the broken stuff in the living room....Austyn went bat shit crazy and just start throwing things at me and just wrecking the whole house.
"Okay, I'm about to come get you."She said and then hung the phone up.
"Who was that?"I asked as I looked up at her teary eyed face.
"Cam....Ky died so I have to pick him up from the hospital."She said and I covered my mouth while a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Not lil Ky that we always used to babysit.."I said and she nodded her head while a few tears came down her face.
"Yea. I have to go"She said and I got up.
"Let me come with you..."I said putting a hoodie and sunglasses on.
We both rushed out and got inside her car. She sped off towards the hospital and when we got in there Cam was outside sitting on the ground with his head down.
"Cam?"Jayda said gently as we approached him. He looked up at us and his eyes were fiery red.
He got up and ran into Jayda's arms. To me Jayda was more of a mother figure to Cam then his actuall mother, and that's why those two were so close with each other...Especially when Jayda was in her coma,Cam didn't eat for a week.
"He's gone really gone"He cried in her arms.
"I know, it's going to be okay"Jayda soothed him as Cam start crying harder.

Jayda.
My phone start ringing and I let go of Cam and looked at the caller id. It was Pierce, I looked at my phone weirdly before answering it.
"Talk."I said as we all start walking to my car.
"You need to come to the hospital, Jahlan have gotten hurt..."He trailed off.
"The fuck you mean he got hurt? What happened to my baby."I snapped starting the car up.
"Bru I don't know Mackenzie said he fell... that's all I know, I was at work!"He raised his voice into the phone. "Just hurry up damn"He snapped and then hung the phone up in my face.
"Everything okay?"Havana asked and I just ignored her and start speeding towards the hospital.
"So you not gone talk?"Cam said from the back.
"Look both of y'all just sit back and shut the hell up!"I snapped and the rest of the car ride was silent.
As we pulled up and I parked I hopped out of the car leaving Havana and Cam.
"Excuse me miss"I said to the lady at the front desk.
She popped her gum and looked up at me. "What can I do for you?"
"I'm here to see my son... Jahlan Carter Sikes."She sighed to herself and start typing on the computer.
"Room three-twenty."
I walked over to the elevators and clicked on the third floor.
"What happened?"I asked walking inside and seeing him hooked up to a bunch of machines.
"He fell off the couch..."Mackenzie said from behind me and I turned around and went to charge at her but Cam caught me in enough time.
"Bitch you wasn't fucking watching him!"I yelled still trynna get to her.
"Yo Jayda calm down...Doc said he gone be good just a little concussion."Pierce said and I cut my eyes at him.
"Just a little concussion? I left MY child in YOUR care, and he gets a damn concussion because yo' ho ass wife wasn't watching him."I snapped "But I bet she was watching the other baby."
"Hey do not put my child in this! It was a honest mistake."
"I don't believe you...You know what? Both of y'all just leave."
"I'm not going nowhere... That's my son too."Pierce said and I shook my head.
"No, He's MY son. You didn't even want him,and you barely get him. So bye we don't need you here."I snapped back.
He looked at me with a hurt expression before walking out along with Mackenzie.
First Havana and Austyn get into it..Then Ky dies,and now my baby is in the hospital hooked up to a bunch of machines.
Jax.
"About time I get to meet your family."Jasmine said as she was curling her hair in the bathroom mirror.
"Yea I know, I just don't let just anybody meet them."I shrugged fixing my shirt.
"But I'm not everybody."She said and I sighed loudly.
"Look be grateful that you meeting them, especially since your pregnant."I said wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her neck.
"We're going to tell them right?"
"Fasho that, we have no choice but to tell them now...Your already showing"
"Well let's go then. You have everything?"She asked moving away from my embrace.
"Yea, let me just get my keys."I told her walking back into the room and grabbing my keys off of the dresser.
We both walked out of the house and got inside of my car.
"So wassup with you and Jayda?"I asked looking over at Jasmine as we rode silently in the car.
"What do you mean?"
"C'mon Jas don't play dumb; It's always tension when you and Jayda get around each other. So wassup with that?"
"I guess I just don't vibe with that girl."She shrugged "Why are y'all even friends anyways? She don't look like a girl you would be bestfriend's with."
"First off Jayda has a amazing vibe, and we bestfriends because no matter what she will always be there for me. So you need to start liking her,because she is going to be around for a long time."
"Whatever"I heard her mumble.
I shook my head and turned the radio up. The rest of the ride was silent, which I was cool with.
I helped Jasmine out of the car and we both walked up to the door hand and hand. I rung the doorbell and a minute later my mom came and opened the door.
"Hey babyy"She said pulling me into a tight hug.
"Hey ma"I chuckled patting her back. "I brought my girlfriend."I said and she let me go.
"Hi my name is Jasmine"Jasmine stuck her hand out.
"I know exactly who you are..."My mom trailed off looking her up and down. "We have a problem."She said and me and Jasmine looked at each other weirdly.
"Wassup ma?"I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Baby...are you pregnant?"She asked and Jasmine nodded.
"Yes ma'am...Five going on Six months."Jasmine smiled rubbing her belly.
"Oh no..."My mom face got serious. "I have to tell you two something.."
"What?"I asked her.
"Y'all are cousin's..."
