Royalty III // Quavo&India

•Chapter 10• Deadbeats PT 2

Royalty POV

"Mom?" I stared at her in shock. "Your supposed to be dead"

"Babe what's taking so looo..." I turned around to see Qua walking towards the door until he saw who was standing on the other side..."I thought your ass was supposed to be dead!"

"Look.. I can explain.."

I let her in and lead her into the kitchen where Qua was leaning against the counter staring at the wall

"So.. how are you going to explain faking your death for all these years?" I asked folding my arms

"I had no choice! Before you left that day I recently discovered your father and Dream was messing around and I knew exactly what she was about! I knew all of this was going to get messy and I wanted to help you but he cut off all contact and anything else that had to do with you"

"Why'd you fake your death tho?"

"I overheard what Dream and Garrett had did and what they planned to do and I knew for a fact they wanted me out the picture! So I left and I got somebody to take the wrap... I left and headed to LA where I had a house and everything else I needed.. I knew you wanted nothing to do with me so I kept to myself until I heard about CJ being out"

"Well, you don't have to worry about him anymore be--"

"I know he's dead" She cut him off. "I just wanted to see you and apologize for the way your father treated you.. if anything I loved you and I just wanted to see you happy and I knew for a fact you were happy with Qua.. I heard about how well you were doing and that you both got married" She smiled a little

"All this time you faked everything"

"Yes, including our marriage! Me and your father divorced when you were three, but your grandmother insisted on us living together and putting on this fake smile so she can continue to keep her name"

"This is crazy... is this why you never spoke up anytime I came around?" He asked

"Yes!"

"And that night Qua had a football game... I left with him and you covered for me... mom why didn't you tell me this sooner?"

"He threatened to kill me and take you away! I didn't want that.. I'm so sorry" She cried

I walked over to her and gave her a hug. I loved my mom I truly did and I would do anything for her but I don't understand why my dad treated her the way he did.. she did anything to keep him happy and me too for that matter

"Mommy!" Yaté ran in hugging my legs smiling

"Yes baby?"

"Who's that?" He pointed to my mom

"Sweetie, this is my mommy" I picked him up

"My grandma?"

"Yeah lil man" Qua smiled a little

"I'm a grandma" She smiled.. "what's his name?"

"He's named after Qua... here" I handed him off too her
