Meanwhile, Brat has woken from her concussion and Chresanto sends Kollins to go finish the job. Kollins catches Ebony leaving the hospital where Brat has been since Kollins shot her. He followed her home and chastised her about moving back to California and of course she refused wanting to stay with Nikko. Kollins being the fool he is tried to force her with a beating but Nikko showed up and got rid of him. After another violent act against Ebony, Nikko sent out a search party to find Kollins. When they missed him by seconds Nikko called a meeting at his home where he let Ebony stay with him. Poochie caused a big uproar taking Nikko out his element and making him say things he didn't really mean. Ebony over heard the harsh words about her and was going to pack and leave Nikko's, but Jyrell called Nikko with the heads up. Poochie came back to the house the same time Nikko caught Ebony about to leave, and Nikko and Poochie got into a heavy altercation. After, Nikko took Ebony's things back inside and she'd decided to stay living with him for the time being.

            The sun came pouring into my office as I worked over some paper work for local businesses I invested in. These were some of my personal one's but the St.Nickolas crew owned several lucrative businesses of their own. I'd been in the office all night, working on those papers and here I was just now getting to my own. My dad has been on my ass about everything going on lately. James has moved out of our reach. Somehow the joker lost the men we had watching him, two guys who worked for my dad I should say, and could be anywhere. Kollins is up in Alabama right now, but as long as he doesn't cross this state line I've washed my hands of that. Not to mention, worst of all, Poochie was still acting like a little bitch and I've had even less tolerance for him. Every time he walks into a room I walk out. I barely give him any work and if their is a message to be passed on to him I make Jyrell do it.

        It's real unprofessional of me, but like he said I never knew how to separate shit so fuck'em. For some reason, the guy just couldn't leave Ebony alone and I knew Poochie was one to hold on to shit, but she was the mother of my child. Jovani's convinced that if he knew that he'd let it go, but I was convinced that if i told him the whole family would know. I rested my hand on my left hand and continued handling the bills and documents with my right hand. It's been 3 months since that bullshit with Poochie and Ebony has been at my place. To be honest I didn't want the girl alone for a second. Her luck was bad as hell, not to mention I kind of liked going home to seeing her waddling around. Kinzy and Ebony had become big and pregnant. Ebony was in her second trimester and when we'd went to check the baby's sex, we found out we were having a boy. Jyrell has been telling me to keep away from his house once the baby is born, because Jyrell and Kinzy were expecting a girl.

        Already our kids seemed like they were opposites anyway. Jyrell says the baby girl won't stop kicking Kinzy's ass whereas all my son does is give Ebony some weird ass cravings. The other day i went home to catch her eating a homemade French-Toast mushroom and sausage pizza. The shit was enough to make me want to throw up, but the more she ate the more she cooked. She was becoming a superb chef. The girl had been more emotional too, crying over Scooby-Doo movies, and complaining about gaining weight every time she ate. It was actually entertaining at times and annoying at others. She was a piece of work I tell you that much.

         "What are you smiling for," someone asked from the doorway, making me realize my facial expression. I looked at Jyrell and waved him in. He came in and gave me dap, taking a seat in one of the chairs in front of my desk. "You're up early," I questioned, looking back at the documents. "Yeah, I'm actually supposed to be going to get breakfast but I thought I'd stop by and check on you. How's home life been? I know how dealing with a pregnant women can be," Jyrell asked? I chuckled and scratched my head. "I honestly don't get a chance to be home enough to get the full effects. But she's still a handful," I smirked shaking my head. "A handful huh? I hear ya brother man. Come on let's go grab a bite. You've been here since last night and don't say you haven't because you're in the same tired ass get up and looking at pretty much the same paperwork," Jyrell joked. "Fuck you homie," I chuckled. "I guess I can spare a minute," I looked at my watch? "Yeah then go home and be with your pregnant woman," Jyrell continued to joke. I waved him off and grabbed my blazer off the back of my chair.
