Money Trees

"He put the bug in the police ear about me being involved with Jay disappearance. They didn't give a fuck about where that nigga was at until your lil boyfriend threw some money at 'em now they on my ass." He explained.

"Shit. This is all my fault. I'm sorry, I didn't think he would go that far." I said feeling dizzy.

"You gotta stop trying to give mothafuckas the benefit of the doubt. People show you everytime exactly who they are, you just gotta pay attention." He told me.

"What are we gonna do?" I asked holding my head. I swear it felt like the room was spinning.

"Don't delete any of the messages he sends you from now on. Send me screenshots of every message you get. We also gotta start telling each other everything. I don't care how small it might seem cause that shit could be important." He said.

"I can do that but you have to do the same thing. I wanna know things too." I said.

"That's fair. So I guess it's a good time to tell you that Nia involved in this shit too." He told me.

"What? How?" I asked.

"She followed me that night everything went down with Jay then tried to team up with Alexander so she could be a witness."

"But she seemed like regret doing that shit. She with Prince now and they got they own shit going on so I really don't think she on that timing no more but the shit she did in the past just too major." He finished explaining.

"She sent me a message on Instagram today about meeting up. Look." I said showing him our messages.

"So you decided to meet with her ass?" He asked.

"Yeah but I wouldn't have if you told me she was involved in this shit." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"It's good. This could be a way to get more information out her ass. Record the conversation if anything comes up send it to me." He told me. I just nodded.

"I swear this the last thing I need to tell you." I told him.

"Damn how much shit we been keeping from each other? What is it?" He said shaking his head.

"Well I've been going through postpartum depression. Having bad thoughts, mood swings, crying, getting dizzy. Sometimes I space out it's been hard." I confessed.

"Damn, that explains when you almost burned the house down. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think you would understand and I didn't want you to worry about me or Syn since I would have her all the time once you ... you know." I told him. I could see his expression changing already.

"But I told my mom so she knows and she's experienced it before so she'll be here to help me and of course Ms. Fay too. We have a good support system so we'll be fine I promise." I tried to assure him even though I wasn't sure myself.

"Fuck, I wanna be here too. I'm supposed to be here." He said more to himself.

"Well you're here now, let's focus on that." I said to lighten it up.

"Come here." He told me. I walked around his desk sitting on his lap.

He puckered his lips making me laugh before giving him a kiss.

"You a great mom, don't let this shit take over and convince you otherwise." He told me. I gave him a deep kiss in response.

There was a comfortable silence for a minute.

"You know it's been awhile since I been up in it." He said rubbing my inner thigh.

"I know and she definitely misses you pooh." I said kissing his cheek.

"Gon' head get my baby up outta here. I got you when I get home, be ready." He told me.

"Ok daddy, see you later." I said giving him another kiss before getting Syn.

"I love y'all." He said as I made it to the door.

"We love you more." I said giving him a smile before leaving.
