Chapter 11

June 9th, 2017

Victoria drove towards the house while Tupac was driving right behind her and was beginning to regret his decision. "Is it too late to turn back baby?"

"We're almost there so yes, it's extremely too late to turn back." When they pulled into the driveway, Rebbie was already talking to Shania and Victoria. "I'm having second thoughts on this square."

"Stop worrying so much daddy, you'll be alright." Tupac sighed before getting out the car. "Heyy Pac, I haven't seen you in a minute. How have you been?"

"I've been good Rebbie." Just then Latoya came outside. "Well looky here, aren't you gonna give your big sister a hug?" Janet gave her a fake smile and hugged her. "How y'all doing?"

"Great Latoya, just fantastic." Janet stepped into the house and smiled. "Hi mother."

"Oh my goodness, look at you.. come on let me give you a hug." Mama K hugged Janet tightly. "Shania and Victoria are outside with Eissa and Pac."

"I'm so glad you're all here together, that's something I wanted and I got it. But on the other hand, your father isn't too much going to like it."

"Mama I'm grown, if he is still pissed off by my decisions so be it! He can't control me anymore, I took control years ago and I won't ever let him take it from me, ever." Tupac walked in holding Eissa while the girls were talking with Rebbie. "How you doing Mrs. Jackson?"

"Now you know you don't have to call me that and you call me mamma." Tupac laughed. "I know, I gotta get use to it."

"But I think you know why you're here right? The elephant in the room." Tupac's smile faded and so did Janet's.

"Mama I know Joseph is upset about me and him being together but..do we have to discuss the mall incident too?" Katherine sighed. "I'm afraid so baby. Your father is not pleased but don't worry, your brother's have your back."

"You know who really had my back, Michael, and he'd understand what's going on."

"I know baby, I know." Janet tried to hold in her tears and took her things upstairs. Everything went downhill when Michael died and it took a huge toll on Janet and Tupac. She sometimes wishes she could turn back time to make things right.

Janet came back downstairs and saw Randy sitting and talking to Shania and Victoria. "If you are serious about the music business, just ask your mother and father Shania, and Victoria, keep doing what you're doing, you're almost there."

Janet smiled and went to go look for Pac who was talking to Katherine. "Thought I lost you guys."

"Nah, we just looking at these baby pictures of you."

"You looked like one bad ass kid."

"She was." Tupac and Katherine laughed while Janet side-eyed them.

"At least I didn't have a half haircut like you."

"Oh you ain't right." Janet giggled and Tupac playfully rolled his eyes. "Joseph is home." Janet looked and saw Latoya standing in the doorway. "Looks like you better get down here." Janet sighed before going down while Katherine and Tupac followed. Shania and Victoria sat close to their parents and Tupac held Eissa.

"Randy stop being so mean, we're her brothers and we're gonna support her."

"I'll support her, but he does one thing wrong Jermaine and I swear I'm gonna-"

"You're gonna what Uncle Randy?" Victoria asked side-eyeing him. "Um..forget i even said anything." Janet giggled and kissed Victoria's forehead. Then Joseph walked into the room and it fell silent. Janet laid her head on Pac's shoulder while the girls snuggled close to Janet. "Long time no see Janet."

"Hello Joseph.."

"It looks like you've finally crossed the line of being a Jackson."

"Excuse me?" Tupac tried not too say much but it was hard when Janet was about to get chewed out by her father. "You go into court to defend a man for drug possession? Actually no, a thug. Somebody on the street and you think you can walk into my house like none of it happened? No, I won't allow it."

"So what are you saying? You think he's guilty and he deserves jail?"

"Absolutely." Janet scoffed softly. "So you'd rather my baby father get locked up for something he didn't do and not be around his child than to be innocent of drug possession and to be able to see his daughter? You're actually crazy." Janet got up and Tupac was about to but instead kept the girls close. "Janet this is a disgrace to our name! How could you do something like this? Your brother wouldn't be pleased."

"My brother would've been by Pac's side no matter what if he wasn't murdered! Pac and Michael were like brothers and you hated it because you hate Pac! You let the media and the way Pac acts around the public make it seem like he's a bad person and he's not even that!"

"He's a rapist and a druggy! You laid up and had sex with him and now my granddaughter has to live with that!"

"Ayo leave my child out your petty ass mouth!" Tupac got up and he was officially pissed off. "My daughter knows who her daddy is and she knows he's an innocent man. Now look I don't give a flying fuck if you don't like me! Excuse my language Mama K and to the children in here, but you need to wake the fuck up and figure your shit out!"

"How dare you speak to me like that in my home?"

"No, how about how dare you try to disrespect me in front of my family and have me lose my damn character? I came here because unlike you mature about the situation, so I'll say this. I'll stay in this house for the weekend or whatever but I won't take no shit from you or anybody else." Tupac sat down on the couch and he could tell he pissed off Joseph a great deal. Joseph dissapeared in the house leaving everyone in the living room. "Y'all deal with that shit?"

"The drug dealer is talking about our father? Wow okay." Janet looked at Latoya and Tupac held her down. "You lucky he holding me back or else I would've dog slapped you bitch."

"Janet we got kids in here."

"Excuse my language, I'm sorry." Tupac got up and picked up Eissa. "Being bitter isn't cute Latoya, you should really stop that." Janet and the girls followed behind Tupac as they found their rooms. It was going to be one long weekend.
