Boss, what do you want us to do with the last shipment?"

One of Vito's workers asks entering his office.

"Bring it to Warren."

A knock on his door gets his attention.

"Come in"

He looks up from his computer to see Lala entering the door while the guy leaves.

"What are you doing here?" He asks closing his laptop down

"Victor I-

"You know not to call me that"

"It wasn't a problem before." She says rolling her eyes

"What the hell do you want? You just want to bother me or wassup?"

"I'm pregnant." she blurts out

"So what are you telling me for?" He asks looking at her furrowing his eyebrows

"You're the father. I'm a month and some weeks"

"I strapped up with you. So how can I be the father?"

"One time you didn't." She answers biting the corner of her lip

"Lala get out of here."

Lala's eyes begin watering. He didn't believe her and that pissed her off. She pulls the ultrasound from her pockets and storms towards his desk throwing the paper on his desk.

Vito's eyes snapped up to hers. He gets up from his seat and grabs the front of her hoodie. Pulling her towards him, causing her to lean on his desk.

"Throw sum again"

Lala gulps her emotions staying still.

"I'm pregnant Vito and you're the father." She mumbles

"How much do you need?" He questions letting her hoodie go

"How much what?" She asks trying to hold back her tears

"How much money do you need to get rid of it?" He asks taking back his seat.

"I'm keeping my baby Victor."

"Well, I don't know what to tell you. Get rid of it or I will." He says sternly opening his laptop

"Was this how you treated Madison?" She asks teary-eyed

Something snapped in him. He jumps up from his seat and again grips the front of her hoodie.

"I didn't hear you properly, say that again."

Lala bursts out in tears and feels him letting loose on her hoodie

"Get out." he orders

Vito pulls his phone out and clicks on his camera roll. Scrolling up to his pictures that contained his "family". His eyes stayed glued to her. His eyes caressed her whole body.

"You still here?" Vito asks looking up

"What happened to you?" She cries running out of his office

His eyes revert back to his camera roll. He takes his time sliding his finger across his screen looking at pictures and videos. He stops at this one particular video. The last video him and Madison ever made,which was on their date in Toronto. He requested to make a home video and she agreed. He presses play and watches as the video begins playing. Her face. Her face is his favorite part. He watches as her eyes begin lowering and rolling all over the place.

"Damn" he mumbles

He caught himself for the past two weeks staring at these familiar pictures and videos. Since Madison didn't take the house he bought in New York he decided to keep it for himself. He only used it when Madison allowed Dre to pick up the kids. He did exactly what he said he wasn't going to do. He drove eight hours to see them.

As much as he wanted to he couldn't get aroused knowing that they didn't belong to one another. He's free to be with whoever and Madison is also.

Someone bursting through his door got his attention. He locks his phone and looks up to see Dre fumed.

"Who pissed in your cereal?" Vito asks chuckling to himself

"Nigga you got my little cousin pregnant?" Dre asked furrowing his eyebrows stepping more into the room making sure to close it behind him

"Dre this ain't got nothing to do with you." Vito answers shaking his head

"It does...nigga you used to watch her with me. How the hell do you sit there and lay down with her?! Dre shouts

"Dre like I said it has nothing to do with you. She's a grown ass woman." Vito says looking at him

"NIGGA IT IS MY BUSINESS. YOU GOT HER PREGNANT AND THEN YOU TELLING HER TO KILL HER SEED!"

"NIGGA DID SHE TELL YOU HOW SHE WAS BEGGING ME TO PIPE HER DOWN. NIGGA MOVE AROUND BEFORE I REALLY HAVE TO POP ON YOU!"

Dre walks around to Vito and stands in front of him.

"Pop on me nigga"

"Dre you my boy and I don't really want to have to hurt you."

After hearing that leave Vito's lips Dre swings on him, making sure to make every punch connect.

Vito stands up out of his chair and pushes Dre, making him stumble.

"I don't want to to put my hand on you nigga, move around"

"COME ON FIGHT ME BACK!" Dre yells coming back into Vito's personal space, pushing him

"FIGHT ME BACK!"

Dre throws another punch making his fist connect with his lips, busting his lip.

Vito's adrenalin began rushing through the roof. He closes his fist and throws it towards Dre's body. Dre's body hits against the wall causing a loud crash.

Warren and Smiley run through the door looking at the two.

"What's wrong with y'all?" Warren asks walking over to help Dre up

"Nigga I'm done with your ass," Dre says getting up and slapping Warren's hand.

"Man, what y'all arguing about now?" Smiley asks looking at Vito

"His cousin is pregnant," Vito answers looking away

"You had sex with your cousin?" Smiley asks

"She's not my cousin. She's that hard-headed nigga family"

"Let me guess, you're the father?" Smiley asks shaking his head

"I told Shawty to get rid of it. I'll pay for it."

"How do you drop a seed in some girl that you don't care about? Nigga you moving funny. Your moving like-

"Don't say it. I swear don't say it."

"You are moving like Dave. This is why Madison doesn't want to be around you. Bro your head is messed up and you need to get thoroughly checked. That Damn doctor ain't helping you." Smiley announces

"MAN, I JUST WANT MY DAMN FAMILY BACK!" Vito shouts throwing something across the room

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU NOT GETTING IT BACK YOU BIG ASS BIG FOOT!" Dre shouts from the hallway

The office stayed silent before the room erupted with laughter

"Man, I can't with that nigga." Vito mutters

"I told Shawty I'll pay for the process or I'll handle it myself. She knows I don't want no kid by her ass."

"I mean he told her he doesn't want the kid and he'll pay for it. That's a win-win babygirl better choose wisely." Warren says shrugging

"Who is his cousin?"

"Warren you remember Lala?"

"Damnnnn lil Lala. I had her ass as soon as she turned legal." Warren laughs

"Bruh you lying" Vito says dropping his hands

"Naw I'm not,She was the one who actually initiated it on her eighteenth birthday."

"You ain't hit after that?" Vito asks hoping he would say yes

"Nigga that's your baby." Warren laughs pointing at him

"What made you shoot in her?" Smiley question looking between the two

"I never did." Warren grins

"Bruh I don't know when this happened." Vito answers shaking his head

"You can't just tell a female to get an abortion and think she finna do it." Smiley argues

"Yes he can,if the man is paying for it and he doesn't want it. I say get rid of it." Warren argues back taking a seat

"Man ya'll trippin"

"Just because Raniyah was willing to have your baby don't mean anything." Vito says catching Smiley off guard

Smiley shakes his head and exits out of the room.

"V you my homie ain't nothing wrong with what you said. If she want to be a single mom so be it"

"Nigga are you deaf? She ain't being nobody's mother,she had to trap me because I don't remember once sliding in that with no protection."

"Where'd you leave the condom?"

"In her trash can...where else" Vito answers

"Your not that smart I see "

"Where do you put yours?" Vito asks

"Out the window" Warren answers

"I don't even remember being that dirty at the age of twenty eight."

"Just throw it out the window near b-

"Nah man that ain't smart that's just ain't it."

Vito sits in his computer chair spinning around.

"I miss being around my kids."

"And you miss that sexy baby mom of yours. The other day I followed her on social media and man that ba-

Warren cut his sentence short once he saw Vito's face.

"I mean she looks alright." Warren says shrugging

"I feel bad for shooting that nigga Hassan in her face but it's like you really going to confess to me that you wanted him. Like we didn't just nut together the day before."

"Man you put that on yourself. You don't test females. Don't ever test a female because you will find yourself at the hospital, positive with the clap."

"You got something you want to tell me?" Vito asks raising his brow

"This was two years ago. Shawty really burnt me"

"Eww that's what you get."

*so Layla is twelve months I made that mistake again,

Madison finishes putting the last bit of purple party streamers on the wall.

"Niyah what do you think?" Madison asks flipping the camera

"Ouuu mama you did a good job. What kind of cake are you doing?"

"So I was going to make a vanilla cake for the kids and a oreo cake for the adults."

"You're doing Oreo for you, aren't you? Raniyah asks giggling

"You know I have to. For two weeks I have been on a diet. I need some sweets in my life." She groans

"Soooo I know you might not want to talk about it buttt are you inviting Vito?"

Madison lets out a sigh before flipping the camera.

"Sure, but I doubt he would come. He hasn't seen his kids in a month, can you believe that?"

"Foreal?" She asks already knowing the real answer to her question

The feeling of guilt rushes over her again. The same feeling she felt months ago

"I know he isn't that upset. He wasn't the one dragged around to see somebody get shot"

"Maddy I have a confession." She says lowly

"YOUR PREGNANT AGAIN?!"

"WHAT! Demetrius is not getting another baby out of me." She shouts

"So what is it?"

"Please don't be mad at me and please don't be mad at him."

"Niyah your scaring me" she whines

"Victor actually has been seeing the kids,behind your back."

Raniyah waited for a while hoping not to get a crazy reaction.

"So that's why Layla kept saying Dada"

"Madison please don't be mad" Raniyah begs

"Why would I be mad? " she asks

"Ughhh you sort of have a reputation of doing exactly that."

"Well I guess you can tell him he's invited." Madison says placing her phone down

"Ughhh why do I have to do it?"

"Did you forget the part where your cousin shot a man in front of me and not only that he then tried to make me shoot him?" Madison asks

"That man is crazy about you. I don't know what you did to him. All I know is I need what you got so Smiley can act right."

"I don't know what I did."

Madison shrugs her shoulders and pulls out a water bottle from her fridge.

"So you haven't spoken to him in a month?"

"Nope."

"What about dreaming?" Raniyah asks chuckling

"I have but not in a good way. It always end with him shooting me "

"Honey that's because you miss him." Raniyah taunts

"Or maybe because I'm scared of him." "I said he shoots me in my dreams"

"Don't act like that Maddy. You had that man on his toes for a while and I dream of Smiley choking me."

"You're talking about sexual fantasies while I'm talking about nightmares. Niyah I don't know."

"So you're telling me you never had a good dream about him once after the situation?"

"How could I?"

"Maddy you're lying to me right now" "A man shoots a man for you just to show how much he loves you and you're not turned on? Not even a little bit?" Niyah questions

"Okay, Honestly I only had one. Just one."

"Soooo"

"I may miss him...only a little though, I miss the sweet him. The guy that always jokes around. Seeing him like that was like seeing the devil. That's something I don't ever want to see again."

"Again as in you-

"I didn't say all that. I just said I missed the good Vito."

"So how would you react if you could see him right now?" Raniyah asks

"I don't know. I could cry,I could smile. I honestly don't know"

"All I have to say is count yourself lucky. You got pregnant by wealth."

"His money is not my money. I paid for Layla's birthday using my hard-earned money."

"Wait so he allowed you to just take her?"

"Niyah he left Detroit, what was I supposed to do? I wasn't leaving her. I look at her as my own daughter."

Raniyah nods her head and takes a peek at Ava who's sleeping peacefully.

"Girl Ava needs her cousin"

"Sure I could bring her next week after my last class. I could just have-

Raniyah interrupts

"Or you could have her father come get her"

"Niyah I know what you're doing."

"What, saving you an eight hour long ride trip? That is exactly what I'm doing Maddy."

Madison rolls her eyes and takes a sip from her water.

"I'll think about that. I could just do it myself or have Dre bring her."

"Girl sooner or later ya'll or going to have to speak. You share a son together. Your caring for a kid that isn't yours."

"I- I just don't know. Mahogany has been helping out. She buys pampers,wipes or whatever I need for her so I'm okay." Madison reassures

"Honey if something was to happen-

"I already know what you're going to say. That's different I will get in contact with him but as of now everything is good and I don't need him." Madison explains

"Why is my daughter sleeping?"

Madison hears over the line.

"Because she is now out."

"What-

"I'm on the phone, don't say anything crazy."

Madison chuckles before speaking.

"Girl call me later. I'm going to make Cairo a bottle."

"Alright "

Madison hangs up the phone and slides it on the table. She makes her way to her bedroom to see Layla and Cairo sleep.

"Awww my babies." She smiles
