"Hey" Chanel greeted her father, who was sitting at the booth already. He looked up from the menu and made eye contact with her. He quickly stood up and hugged his daughter, whom he hasn't seen in four years.

"Hey sweetheart" he smiled.

Chanel hugged her father and took a step back taking a good look at him. His black Afro that she used to pick out and braid when she was young was cut down to a buzz cut. His skinny body gain some meat specially in his stomach. "I see the alcohol caught up to you" she said making him laugh.

"Yeah but this is all home cooked food you know how your grandma is" he told her patting his belly making her laugh this time as they sat in the booth.

"Grandma still the same huh? I should give her a visit"

"You look good how is everything?" He compliment his only daughter.

"It's good just been working-"

"At that salon uh Beyond and Above right?"

"Beauty and Beyond" she chuckled.

"Hello welcome to Red Lobster my name is Jess can I start you off with a drink?" The waitress said placing down small plates and biscuits in the middle of the table.

"Sure I'll have uh Coke"

"I'll just have some cranberry juice please" Chanel told her. The waitress wrote in her notepad before nodding her head and walking away.

"How is Santana doing?"

"She doing fine she's about to graduate college soon"

"That's good maybe next time we meet up she can join us"

"She actually might like that" Chanel smiled taking a look at the menu. Since she been pregnant she been eating everything insight. Just looking at the pictures of shrimp, crab legs and deserts made her mouth water.

"And Trae?" She heard him ask catching her attention. "How's is he doing? I see he couldn't be here today"

She peeked her eyes over the menu taking a look at him before going back. "Yeah he had something to take care of but he's good"

"Still doing the same thing he was doing when I met him huh?"

Instead of answering, she continued to look in the menu ignoring him. Ever since she introduced Trae to her father they did not get along. When Trae found out about her father beating on her he went to face him and they got into a physical altercation.

Thinking about the past, Chanel placed the menu down and looked around the restaurant before feeling something coming up from her stomach. "Excuse me" she quickly said before standing up and rapidly running to the bathroom. The second she made it through the doors she threw up in the sink.

"Thank god nobody was in here" she whispered to herself grabbing tissue nearby. She ran some cold water and splash her face to cool her nerves down. Once she felt calm enough to face her father again she open the door and walked out.

"Sorry about that" she said clearing her throat before taking her seat.

"You pregnant?" He questioned.

"Yeah" she smiled softly.

"How far along are you?"

"Almost two months"

He sat back and used both hands to wipe his face before staring at his daughter who has grown into a beautiful independent women. He smiled at her making her smile right along with him.

"Congratulations I'm actually happy for you" he told her.

"Really?"

"Yeah and I know I made some mistake in the past but Chanel I'm telling the truth" he said staring into her eyes. "Thank you" he continued make her cheese showing off her pearly white teeth.

"That's all I need to hear" she smiled.

"So now my girl is going to be living with you?" Dex questioned King who was driving through the city. He sat in the passenger seat while Khalil and Flaco sat and chilled in the back.

"She ain't ya girl-"

"She ain't yours either" he chuckled cutting King off mid sentence. King turned and looked at him for a few seconds before jerking the car making Dex hit the window with the side of his head.

"Yo! What the fuck King?!" He snapped rubbing the side of his face hearing Khalil and Flaco laughing in the back.

"Next time put your seatbelt on" he told him seeing Santana calling pop up on his navigation screen.

"Wassup?" He answered.

"Hey" she greeted. Since his phone was connected to bluetooth in his car her voice was heard through out the car.

"Hey Bae" Dex greeted quickly.

"Hey Dex" she sung making him smile. Khalil and Flaco started to low key laugh in the back encouraging their boy.

"This nigga crazy" Flaco chuckled. "But wassup Santana?" He greeted.

"Hey Flaco hey Khalil" she greeted. "King?"

"Yeah wassup?"

"Why you left rose pedals on my car?"

"Fuck you talking about?"

"There's rose petals on my car-"

"You know me I'm not cheap to be getting some dried up rose pedals from a bag to put on your car" he said cutting her off. "I'll have a bouquet waiting for you at the door" he chuckled hearing the guys joining in.

"Shut up" she snapped but he knew she was smiling on the other end. "So who left the rose petals?"

"I don't know it could be that nigga Chris-"

"Chase?"

"Yeah that nigga trying to apologize I don't know" he answered. He heard her take a deep breath before hearing shuffling in the background.

"What's wrong?" he questioned stopping at his uncle flower shop. The boys quickly hopped out and headed into the shop giving King some privacy.

"Nothing" she answers letting out a deep breath.

"You sure?"

"Yeah"

"What time you and Chanel going to be at your old crib?"

"I'm about to head there now" she answered. "We are gonna have girl time before ya come"

King heard a knock on his passenger window catching his attention. He turned his head and seen Dex pointing to his watch, telling him he was running late.

"I gotta go I'll be there in a few hours with the guys to help out alright"

"Alright see you later" she said before hanging up. King stepped out his car and walked around meeting up with Dex before heading inside the shop seeing his uncle at the cash register and Khalil and Flaco leaning against the wall too busy on their phones.

"Your late Trig already back there" his uncle said heading to switch the sign from CLOSE to OPEN.

"My fault unc I got caught up with a phone call" he told him before heading to the back. "Whats up Trig?" He greeted once he made it next door.

"Wassup? Y'all a little late"

"I know that was my fault I got caught up on the phone" King told him.

"Everything good?"

"Yeah it was just Santana"

Trigga shook his head and chuckled. He knew his boy was falling hard, all these years he knew King, he never let a female step foot in his place and now Santana was moving in.

Chase paced up and down his therapist, Joan, office anxiously before hearing her voice outside the hall. He froze and stared at the door listening closely to their conversation.

"Good afternoon Jess" she said to her secretary.

"Hello Mrs. Joan Mr. Chase is inside your office waiting for you"

"Chase?" He heard Joan questioned.

"Yeah he said he really needed to speak to you about something"

"Okay thank you Jess"

Chase quickly sat down on the leather couch and waited for his therapist to walk through the door.

"Good afternoon" she greeted with a smile on her face. She placed her bag on her desk and pulled out her glasses case. She popped it open and placed her reading glasses on her face before placing the case back in her bag. She grabbed her notepad and sat down across from him seeing him sitting with his head down. "Chase is everything alright?" She questioned. He quickly shook his head and begin to rock him self back and fourth.

"Santana is uh upset with me" he told her taking a quick look at her before looking back at the ground.

"Alright calm down did you guys have a fight about something?"

He begin to relax his body as he sat back on the couch. "Kinda uh we uh got into a small argument over the phone"

"Why? What happen?" She questioned crossing her leg over the other.

"I think she cheating I uh heard another guy in the background when I called her over the weekend" he told her. "And I kinda snapped at her"

"Was it a family member or a friend-"

"Neither I know her family and all her friends this guy sounded different" he lied.

"Have you spoken to her ever since the phone call?" She asked him. He shook his head and ran his hand over his face.

"Well I suggest when you walk out this building you should call her and apologize for snapping at her and see if she would sit down and talk to you"

"I uh I don't know"

"Why not? You really care about Santana don't just let her slip away Chase"

Chase nodded his head agreeing with his therapist. "Alright I'll call her-"

"As soon as you leave this building?" She questioned side eyeing him.

"As soon as I leave your office I'm calling her" he answered making her laugh lightly.

"Yeah I'm gonna do that thank you Joan I'll see you in two days" he told her with a smile. She return the gesture watching him walk out her office.

"Bye Jess" Chase said waving his hand in the air.

"Bye Chase have a good day" she smiled before typing on the computer that was in front of her. Walking out of the office Chase headed to his car with a smirk across his face.

Unlocking his door he got in and sat there for a few minutes. He looked at the passenger seat and played with the rose petals that was scattered on the seat and around the bag. Putting the key into the ignition he started the car and sped off. He decided to take a little drive around town, passing Santana job, before heading home.

He checked his mailbox before walking up a few flights of steps reaching his apartment. Once he unlocked it he walked inside and quickly locked his door. He threw his mail on his small square table that was placed in his kitchen.

Heading to the fridge he froze when he heard his toilet flushed in his bathroom. His mind quickly began to race as he thought about his conversation he had with King again. Hearing the water running for a few seconds before it shut off he turned around and stared at the door trying not to show fear. Once the door open his frown quickly turned into a smile.

"Myles?" He chuckled.

"Wassup cuz?!"

"Girl I'm so glad we can do this one last time" Chanel said to her best friend has they sat on their couch watching reruns of The Cosby Show. "How was the shop today?"

"Quiet even though I worked with Diamond she not even the problem anymore"

"What happen?"

"I found rose petals on my car so I called King-"

"Your superman"

"No he is not my superman I called him because I thought he left them for me-"

"Did he?"

"No he thinks Chase left them for me"

"Why would he think that?"

"Because the day I went to his parents house he called me and he was drunk, let me tell you from the beginning" she said rolling her eyes. Santana told her best friend the whole story about her time at King's parents house and made sure she did not leave out any parts when Chase called her phone.

"He crazy Tana" Chanel chuckled talking about Chase.

"Yeah King said the same thing" she said shrugging her shoulders. "But how it go with your father?" She asked changing the topic but before Chanel could answer the guys barged in, interrupting their conversation.

"Yo wassup?" Khalil said plopping on the couch.

"Y'all ain't start packing yet?" Trigga stated shaking his head.

"No we started talking" Chanel answered. "We'll talk about this later come on" she continued before they both stood up and headed to their room to start packing up their belongings.

After about four hours of packing and cleaning the girls looked at their first apartment together for a few seconds before locking and closing the door for good.

"I can't believe we're moving" Chanel pouted as they walked down their flights of stairs together holding the rest of their belongings.

Santana looked at her friend and started to laugh. "You are definitely pregnant"

"We have so much memories in there Tana" she continued to whine.

"When you gonna come to King's place?" Santana pouted back.

"I can come tomorrow after work"

They walked outside feeling the cold night breeze hearing the guys talking. As they got closer to them they quickly stopped the conversation.

"Y'all ready?" King asked them.

"Yeah can you hold this for me babe?" Chanel asked Trae handing him the bag. He gently took out her arm as the girls turned and sadly looked at each other.

"Here we go" Trigga said before turning around walking to his car.

"Are ya going to cry?" Flaco asked.

"Y'all acting like ya not going to see each other at work" Dex stated.

"Can we have our moment?!" Chanel snapped at them. Trigga couldn't help but laugh as he leaned against his car watching the guys walk away. He watched the girls talk and laugh for a few minutes as Santana wiped Chanel tears away. Trigga opened his car door and pressed the horn button getting everyone attention.

"I'm coming Trae!!" Chanel shouted.

"When did you get out?" Chase asked his cousin watching him raid his fridge. "You waited till I got home to eat my food?"

"Yeah" Myles chuckled. "And I got out a few weeks ago" he continued taking stuff to make a sand which out and placing it on the counter that was next to the fridge.

"You staying at your moms?"

"Nah I'm staying with Nikki and my daughter"

"How they doing? Haven't seen them in a couple of months"

"They fine Mylee asked about you the other day too" Myles answered making his sandwich. When he was done he cleaned everything up and stared at the sheet that hung on the wall. "Yoo I have a questioned for you" he said walking closer to it.

"Wassup?"

"Who this girl?" He questioned taking down the sheet revealing a bunch of pictures behind it. Chase eyes grew wide as he quickly walked over to his cousin.

"She uh-"

"She ya girl or something?" Myles asked again as Chase snatched the sheet out his hand. "Why you got all these pictures of her though?"

"School project and yes she's my girlfriend" he answered throwing the sheet back over the curtain rod. "Don't pull that down again"

"My fault cuz but she cute I see you now uh oh did you show her off to the family yet?"

"Nah not yet soon though" Chase answered growing annoyed. He heard a beep outside almost making him jump out his skin.

"Calm down cuz it's only Nikki I gotta go but I'll see you later" Myles chuckle heading to the door. "You acting like someone is after you or something"

"Nah nah you know how my medicine side effects are"

"You still on medicine?" Myles questioned turning around once he reached the door facing his cousin.

"Yeah man for life you know that but yo when you get your shit together we going out" Chase told him before they quickly hug.

"Alright cuz"

Myles walked out his cousins apartment and begin to walk down the flight steps before reaching the heavy front door. He pushed it open and seen Nikki car parked across the street. Not caring that there was cars driving he ran across the street and walked around to the passenger side. He hopped in and kissed his girl on the cheek making her smile before she drove off.

"Hey daddy" Mylee greeted from the back.

"Hey baby girl how was school today?"

"It was fun we made slime today and the teacher let us take it home"

"And you can only play with it at the table" Nikki chimed in. "That is not ruining my carpet" she mumbled. "How Chase doing?"

"He's good you know he has a girl friend?"

Nikki couldn't help but chuckle lightly to herself. "No, he has a girl friend? Since when?"

"I don't know I didn't ask all that but I'm guessing they met from school"

"Aaaw that's cute now I wanna meet her" Nikki said. "I wonder if she weird like him"

"I don't think so I seen a few pictures of her she don't look like she weird she actually a pretty girl for him" Myles told her.

"Really? Now I defiantly gotta meet this girl" Nikki added. Oh yeah this weekend I might go out with Diamond so your going to be have daddy daughter time-"

She stopped talking when she heard him mumbled something under his breath. "What's wrong Myles?" She questioned with a hint of attitude, rolling her eyes.

"Nothing-"

"Now we lying-"

"Stop hanging out with that hoe-"

"Watch your mouth Myles!!" she snarled at him.

"My fault" he apologized turning around seeing Mylee looking at her tablet with her Doc McStuffins headphones on. "She can't even hear me" he said looking back at Nikki like she was crazy.

"It doesn't matter" she argued parking in front of her place. She killed the engine and reach over to the back seat and grabbed her bag. "And I don't know why you have a problem with me hanging out with her all of sudden?" She questioned looking over at him.

"Cause man she ain't good company"

"You tripping you know how long me and Diamond been friends she like my sister-"

"You sure about that?" Myles questioned her.

"Yeah why you asking-"

"What happen to Taylor?"

"She still around she busy taking care of her shop and taking care of her child Myles" she answered side eyeing him. "What's the problem?!" She snapped. Before he could answer she continued to go off on him. "Don't come out thinking you gonna run me and tell me who I can and can't hang out with-"

"I'm not saying that Nikki-"

"Well then what are you saying?!"

"Just that you should make new friends-"

"Why so those sneaky bitches can do some grimy shit behind my back?!" She yelled in his face. He turned and looked at her before shaking his head.

"Are you fighting?" Mylee asked breaking the silence.

"No mommy was trying to kiss daddy" Myles told his daughter making her smile.

"Unbuckle her for me" Nikki told him before leaving the car. Myles opened his door and hopped out watching Nikki walk up the stone steps before unlocking the house door. Closing his door he opened the back door hearing the house door slam shut.

Leaning his body inside he began to unbuckle Mylee out of the toddler car seat. "Is mommy okay?"

"Yeah she fine" he told her making her smile again. But he knew when the truth comes out all hell would break lose he just had to wait for the right time to tell her.

"I'm finally done unpacking" Santana said walking into the living seeing King talking on the phone with the basketball game playing on tv. She headed to the kitchen and grabbed herself a water bottle out the fridge before heading back to the room.

After standing on her feet for a few hours at work, packing up her things and unpacking she was very tired and just wanted to shower and head straight to bed. She gathered up her toiletries and headed to the bathroom to take a nice hot shower.

King finished up watching the last quarter of the basketball game before turning the tv off. He straighten up the living room before heading to the bedroom seeing Santana walking out the steamy bathroom with her bonnet on wearing booty shorts and a tank top, carrying her dirty clothes. King watched her drop her clothes in her hamper eyeing her thickness.
