"Imma head out now. I gotta go be a bottle girl tonight or whatever." Sarai said as I nodded my head. "Okay text me when you get home!" I told her as I walked to the back to get my bag and lock up my office.

Walking to the front of the store, I stopped right in my track. "Guess what they say is true. You really got knocked up by that bitch ass nigga huh?" Meek spoke while leaning on the wall.

"Oh so you can't speak no more? You really thought I wasn't gon find you?" He asked walking closer to me.

"Look I don't have time for this." I said as he laughed. "You left me, and got pregnant by the next nigga! After all the shit I did for you!" He yelled in my face causing me to take a step back.

"Nigga you ain't do shit for me! I took your broke dusty ass in!" I said and immediately he slapped me in my face.

"Say something again, I dare you." He spokes as I held my face trying to hold back my tears.

"This suppose to be my fucking baby! Type of hoe ass bitch is you? Fucking the next nigga raw right after you leave me! You was probably fucking him the whole time." He said sounding crazy. In the four years me and Meek been together he ain't ever put his hands nor talk to me like this. Yes we got into arguments but he always left out.

"Now you wanna cry?" He said grabbing my hair causing me to look at him. "You a hoe ass bitch. That bitch ass nigga better watch his back." He said pretending to shoot at me.

"Nice shop tho, tell ya daddy holla at me." He said winking before leaving out the store. As soon as he left I quickly got up locking the door sliding and started crying.

What the fuck did I do to deserve the messed up life I have?

"Vee, I just want to go home." I said leaning my head on the car window. Once Meek left and air finally calmed down I had called Vee. She came in an Uber to the shop to pick me up being as I wasn't in no state to drive.

"No fuck that! He at baby house anyways. Killing two stones. They need to know this nigga had the audacity to come to the fucking shop and put hands on you! Ooou he lucky I ain't got my gun license out here or I would kill his ass myself!" She shouted I sighed.

"But I don't want anyone to get in trouble." I said as she shook her head. "No fuck that! That nigga clearly wanted trouble! Coming up there! I'm so fucking mad!" Vee shouted as she entered the gated community Baby lived in.

"Well I'm not getting out the car. I just want to sleep and eat." I said as she sucked her teeth.

"Emerald what are you protecting this nigga or something? Cause I'm not understand. You need to help me understand!" She said as I shook my head no.

"I can't loose Baby and Kross!" I yelled as she sucked her teeth. "They not going no where! Meek need to be taught a fucking lesson though. Now let's go!" She said as I signed taking off my seatbelt. Feeling the tears I quickly wiped them before they could fall. I hated that I was so emotional.

"DOMINIQUE!" Vee yelled as we entered the house. Closing the door I sighed at how extra she was. I honestly did not see the point in telling them now.

"Let's go." She said as we walked through the house causing me to roll my eyes.

"THAT NIGGA DID WHAT! AND YOU WASN'T GON SAY SHIT?" Kross yelled looking at me.

"Can you stop yelling." I said softly as he looked at me.

"Fuck is you protecting that nigga for? Huh! He put his fucking hands on you while you pregnant with my child and you telling me not to hurt him?" Kross asked getting closer to me.

"Chill," Baby said as Kross pulled away from him. "Nah I need her to tell me why the fuck she think I should spare that nigga life! Cause I'm two seconds from hurting her dumbass." He mumbled as I tilted my head back.

"I can't loose you and Baby. I need ya! My child need ya! What imma do if ya locked up somewhere? Who we going to have? My baby already don't have a grandfather! I'm not about to let the dad and uncle get put away for some dumb shit because of me!" I said as Kross shot quiet.

"On some serious shit. Don't worry bout us." Baby said.

"That Nigga getting handled. He violated and we let him slide too many times." Baby continued to talk as I just sat there.

"Please." I said looking Kross in the eyes as he shook his head.

"No. That nigga gon come back." He said as I quickly shook my head.

"I'll hire security!" I said as Kross sucked his teeth pulling away from me.

"The decision already made. The decision was made when he shot at me, when he came to your apartment. Him coming to the shop doing what he did just bumped his death date up. Stop that crying shit. Me and Baby gon be straight." Kross said as I shook my head.

I had a bad feeling about this. Feeling my stomach go into knots I quickly got up going to the trash can and threw up. "Did you eat today?" I heard Vee ask as she held my my hair.

"No." I tried to whisper as Kross sucked his teeth. "What the fuck I told you bout not eating?" He said as I sighed wiping my mouth getting up.

"I feel light headed." I said walking back to the sofa Baby had in his office.

"Can you go get her some water." Kross said to Vee as she nodded her head.

"Emerald you need to take it easy. Fuck was you even at the store for? Stop being stupid." Baby said as I rolled my eyes at him.

"You gon eat them Imma take you home." Kross said.

"But my car." I said causing him to suck his teeth. "Vee can bring that shit." He said as I just sat there closing my eyes. I truly couldn't wait for this pregnancy to be over.
