It was the next day, a cool Sunday morning, and Brielle was up in the kitchen packing up things for the move. She stood at the counter, wrapping glass cups in newspaper. She had on a pair of Cam's polo briefs, a black Nike sports bra, and a pair of fuzzy socks on her feet. Her hair was in its natural curly state in a messy bun. With her hair being up, it showcased her beautiful dark, rich skin and facial features. The pregnancy isn't doing her too badly. She gained a little weight in her face, but overall she still looked the same. Most of her gains went to her boobs, thighs, and, of course, her ass.

Bri placed all the wrapped cups in a box and slid it to the side. She grabbed some plates from the cabinet and repeated the same steps.

"Brielle! When the fuck did y'all get married?"

Bri's head shot up at the question. She shook her head once she saw Keria with Zaire on her hip and the framed marriage license in her hand. Bri smacked her lips. "How did you find that?"

It was now Keria's turn to smack her lips. "It was sticking out of a box in the hallway. When did this happen and why y'all ain't tell nobody?"

"Look at the date; it was a spur of the moment. I didn't want to wait a long time to say I do, so we went to the courthouse." Brielle shrugged her shoulders, picking up an empty cardboard box and placing it on the counter before she placed some plates at the bottom.

"I'm finna beat your ass and Cam's."

Bri waved her sister off and continued doing what she was doing. She grabbed another box and pulled some more glassware from the cabinet.

Dakari walked into the kitchen and grabbed his grandson from his daughter's arms, blowing raspberries in his stomach since all he had on was a diaper. Zaire fell into a fit of giggles. He looked between his daughters. "Why you finna beat Bri and Cam ass?"

Bri huffed and immediately shook her head. "Keria, don't show him that because he's going to make a big deal out of it."

"Too late." Keria spoke out loud as their father snatched the frame out of her hand. Dakari raked his eyes over the frame and slowly looked at his oldest child.

"Alaya, are you serious?"

"Dad—." Before Brielle could even finish, her daddy slid the frame across the counter and walked out of the kitchen. The frame hit the floor and... broke. Keria's mouth dropped in shock as she flew onto the floor to pick up the broken frame.

Bri threw her head back and sighed before looking at her little sister with a frown on her face. "Don't."

"Bri, I got it." Keria protested.

"I said, DONT! If you hadn't been going through my shit in the first place, this wouldn't have happened."

Keria bit her lip and stood up, walking away. Bri shook her head and squatted as best as she could to pick up the big pieces of glass. Cameron was already on his way into the kitchen, but he rushed inside once he had seen Bri picking up glass.

"Woah! What happened and why you crying?"

Brielle looked up at her husband and shook her head. "Keria found the marriage license and she was in here fussing about how she was going to beat our asses for not saying anything. I guess my daddy overheard her as he was walking into the kitchen. He asked why she said that. I already knew he was going to be upset because he has always talked about walking us down the isle and paying for our weddings. So I told her not to show him, but he snatched it and reacted like I knew he would. Now we have this mess."

Cameron pulled Bri up by her waist and directed her away from the glass. "Go sit down, mama, I got it."

Brielle snatched away from him and walked towards the backdoor, going outside.

Cam shook his head. "Those damn hormones."

He bent down and picked up the broken frame, removing the license and a picture of them both. He threw the frame away and swept up the glass, making sure to sweep twice just to be safe. Cameron placed the broom back in the closet and grabbed a container of fruit from the fridge along with a core water. Heading for the back door, he pulled it open and walked out, instantly shaking his head.

Bri was sitting at the edge of the pool, moving her feet around in the water. She had one arm behind her back, holding her up as she rubbed her stomach.

"Baby."

Brielle looked over her shoulder as her husband stood behind her with a container of pineapples and a bottle of water in his hands. He set the stuff beside her and removed his socks before taking a seat. Cam picked up the container of fruit and opened it before passing it over to Bri. "Now is Pops really mad?"

Bri nodded her head as she stuffed her face with pineapples. "Yes, and I know I'm grown, but I know how my old man acts. That's why I said I wanted to keep the secret as long as we could, and we could have if Keria wasn't going through my shit."

"Are you gonna talk to him?"

Bri shook her head. "Nope. He needs to talk to me and apologize to me. His ugly ass broke my frame. But what time should we go to the store? I want to go ahead and get that out of the way today so I can finish packing up stuff around the house."

"I think it's like ten, ten forty-ish right now. We can go around 12 because I don't want you on your feet all day."

Bri nodded her head and leaned over to lay it on his shoulder. "We're really about to have a baby. Never in a million years would I have ever thought that I'd be right here today."

She leaned up and looked up in his face. She broke out into a big smile because he was already staring down at her. "You know, I'm glad I said yes to that date."

Cameron cuffed her face and took her lips into his—giving her a nice slow kiss. "I'm glad you did too. What do you want for your push gift?"

"Push gift? I don't need anything else, Amari. The house is enough for me, baby."

He waved her off. "I don't even know why I asked, knowing I had already bought it."

Bri smacked her lips. "Amari, what the fuck?"

He chuckled and popped her thigh. "Mama, you're going to love it."

Meanwhile, upstairs in Kailani's room, Jabari was trying to get into Kai's panties. He was rubbing her body up and down and whispering things in her ear. Kai was trying to fight it because she felt that it would be disrespectful to have sex under the same roof as her parents, let alone in her sister's house. They would be at Jabari's apartment, but the whole complex is being renovated.

"Let me just put the tip in." Bari whispered in her ear and licked it.

Kai swatted at him. "Stop Amir! I am not having sex with you when my parents are down the hall."

Jabari smacked his lips. "They know y'all fucking. You just ain't popping out babies like the other two."

Kailani threw her head back and let out a loud laugh. "Stop playing with my sisters."

Before Kai could even blink, Jabari had pulled her into his lap to where she was straddling him. She squealed and smacked his chest. Bari licked his lips and reached up to grab Kai by her neck with his left hand. He placed a nice firm grip upon it and pulled her down into his face—kissing her. Bari snaked his tongue into her mouth and she moaned against the kiss sucking on his tongue.

Jabari pulled back. "Lift up, baby."

Kai already knew what he meant by that, so she lifted up and pulled his multi-printed ethika briefs down. His member sprung out, and Kai licked her lips. Bari piece was long and thick, with a big vein running down the middle. Kailani said it reminded her of a Snickers bar. Gripping it in her hand, she started a light stroke which caused Jabari to take his bottom lip between his teeth.

"We not finna fuck but I'm about to eat the dick up."

Jabari laughed and threw his head back. "Shiddd eat it up, then bae."

Kailani laughed as well and scooted down until she was between his legs. She took one long lick from the base to the tip before taking the whole thing into her mouth. She pushed all the way down until the tip hit the back of her throat. Kai gagged and pulled him out of her mouth with a trail of spit falling from her lips. She stroked it and wrapped her lips around the head—flicking her tongue across the tip.

Bari closed his eyes and fisted the sheets. "Fuck!"

She sucked and licked at the tip until she took him all the way into her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down at a steady pace. Kai gagged a little because she still wasn't used to Bari's size. He didn't mind the gagging because he liked the feeling.

Kailani looked up and moaned once she saw Bari staring right back at her. It gave her motivation to speed up, and that's exactly what she did. She pulled it out and slapped the tip on her tongue before spitting on it. Kai took both hands and began stroking him.

"You gonna give me what I want?" Kai asked.

Unable to speak, Jabari nodded his head and bit his bottom lip. Kai swirled her tongue around the tip and took him back into her mouth. She reached down to play with his balls, and that caused Bari to stiffen under her.

"G-gget up!" That caused Kailani to suck faster because she knew he was close. He grunted, and before you knew it, Kai was swallowing every drop. She continued sucking—milking him dry, and Bari's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he slapped at her arm.

"Fuck! G-gget off me!"

Kai gave him one last suck and pulled him out of her mouth with the pop sound following. Bari grabbed her by the neck and looked at her through his hooded eyes. "I love you."

She threw her head back in laughter. "I love you too."

A couple hours later, everybody was downstairs in the living room just sitting around. Bri, along with Cam and her father, went to the jewelry store earlier and cleaned up everything. Bri took note of any damaged jewelry. The killing part of the whole thing is that they didn't take any jewelry. All they did was break the display cases. It's a good thing insurance will cover anything that's damaged.

"Muffin, let me talk to you."

Brielle looked up from her MacBook at her daddy, who was standing over at the threshold of the living room. She rolled her eyes. "I don't want to talk to you."

Cameron popped her thigh. "Go talk to your daddy, girl."

"Nigga, if I ain't just listen to him, what makes you think I'm going to listen to you?" Bri raised her eyebrow and nodded her head in an "I thought so" manner once Cam didn't say anything back.

Jabari tried to stifle his laugh, but it came out anyway. He slapped his knee and looked at Cam before screaming. "Whew! She shut that ass right up!"

Ashley, Bri's mother, was trying not to laugh as well, because she knew the look Bri gave Cam all too well. It was the same look she gave her husband throughout all four of her pregnancies. "Muffin, why you not talking to yo daddy?

"Because somebody threw a temper tantrum today and broke my picture frame once he found that Cam and I are married." Bri pulled her hair out of the bun it was in and ran her fingers through it. Her head was hurting and she knew exactly what the problem was.

Her mother drew her head back. "Excuse me? Married? When did this happen and why y'all ain't tell nobody?"

Dakari threw his hands up. "Exactly!"

Bri sighed and closed her MacBook. She slid it on the coffee table and took her legs off Cam's lap. "MY husband and I got married on Valentine's Day, three months ago, because we made the decision to put the wedding off until I got off probation. But I realized that I did not want to wait a year to say I do. If y'all can't respect our decision, then I don't know what to tell you. Nobody would have found out if Keria hadn't been snooping around my house. That's exactly why she left and went with Kayden because she knew she was wrong."

After Brielle finished saying what she had to say, she got off the couch and made her way to the stairs—going up, taking one step at a time. She held her back and let out a breath as she made it to the top. Waddling into her room, she flipped the light switch on and shut the door behind her, not wanting to be bothered. She climbed into the bed, getting comfortable, and turned the TV on. She grabbed her iPad Pro that was on the night stand and unlocked it tapping the safari icon.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The sound of a ringing phone grabbed her attention. With her phone being downstairs, she knew it was one of Cam's. Bri moved her hand around the bed and pulled it from under the covers once she grabbed ahold of it. Seeing that it was her mother-in-law calling, she swiped the answer bar over. "Hey Ma."

Sniff. "Brielle! Hey baby, where's Bink."

Bri became alarmed once she heard Ms. Sasha sniffing. "He's downstairs. Is everything okay?"

"Sadly no, can you stay on the phone and go get him please?"

Nodding her head as if Ms. Sasha could see her. "Yes ma'am, hold on."

Brielle put the phone on mute and got out of bed as fast as she could. She sprinted to the staircase and stood at the banister. "Amari! Can you come here! Ma is on the phone and something is wrong!"

Cameron leaped from the couch and ran upstairs. Bri grabbed his hand and pulled him to the room—kicking the door closed. She took the phone off mute and held it up against her ear. "Okay Ma, he's up here with me."

"Is he sitting down? Make him sit down, Bri, please, and put me on speaker."

Lord, what is going on. Bri pushed Cam onto the bed and stood between his legs as she placed the phone on speaker. "It's on speaker ma."

"Bink?"

He looked up at his wife with a confused look on his face. "I'm here, ma. Why are you crying?"

"It's Nerrick, baby. He was killed."

As Brielle was standing between his legs, she felt Cameron stiffen under her. He looked up and saw Bri's face soften as tears were gliding down his face. Her heart ached because she knew there was nothing she could do to ease his pain. He slid off the bed onto the floor and just laid his head onto Bri's stomach as he cried.

He was crying because he had lost a brother. He was crying because he did not get a chance to repair their relationship. He was crying because of the last encounter he and his brother had had. He was crying because he knew the drugs had taken over his brother's mind, and most importantly, he was crying because he knew this was real and that his brother was never coming back.

"Bri!" Sashed yelled through the receiver and Bri took her attention away from Cam as she rubbed her fingers through his hair.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Can I come over? Because I know he's in no shape to drive out this way."

"Absolutely! You don't even have to ask. See you in a little." Bri hung up the phone and tossed it on the bed.

"Come on, baby, you gotta get up."

She pulled at his bicep and he stood up, hiccuping. Before Bri could even blink, Cameron lashed out and punched the mirror that was connected to the dresser. Bri shrieked and shield her face as the glass went flying across the room. He punched it again and let out a gut wrenching scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! FUCK!" He punched the mirror again and again until it shattered completely into pieces. He dropped to the floor and dropped his head.

Bri rushed to go out of the door and was almost knocked down because her daddy and Jabari were already on their way in. Dakari caught her by her waist just time before she hit the floor.

"D-ddd-ady! Ner-rrick, Cam's brother was killed." Bri was crying hysterically and hiccuping as she tried to talk.

"Take her downstairs, Bari." Dakari passed Brielle over, and Bari secured her waist as they walked out of the room.
