It's a little after 9 pm and Im on my way home. Stopping at the red light, I picked up my ringing phone and turned the music down.

"Speak"

"Yea, try again" Yari's voice rang through my phone.

As I look down at my phone, she hangs up. Shaking my head, I glanced in the back seat to check on Nezhai. He shifts around in his seat once my phone starts ringing again. After answering my phone, I put it in the cup holder.

"What you do that for?" I stepped on the gas.

"Cause that's not how yo answer the phone"

"Man, what the fuck" Vonta sits up in the seat.

He's in the car with me. We had taken Nezhai and his little sister to Disney World. Kemiah, who's in the back seat sleeping, came with us.

"Wassup?" I quickly looked at him, before focusing on the road.

"One of the girls pregnant" He turns his phone to me.

A picture of a pregnancy test and legs is posted on Yonna's close friends saying "we having a baby". That was two hours ago, but who is pregnant?

"Well, it ain't my shorty" I shrug.

"Where you going?" Yari asks.

"Home, we went to Disney World. Aye, who is pregnant?" I picked up my phone.

"What if I wanted to go"

"Who pregnant?" I looked down at my phone.

"What you talking bout?" She moves the camera, so I'm only looking at her forehead.

"Shorty bout to lie on some dummy shit" Vonta grabs his drink.

"Her ass just put me on mute"

"No, I didn't" Yari laughs.

"Which one of y'all pregnant?" Vonta asks.

"Not me"

"Shit, I know that" I looked back in the back seat.

Nezhai starts crying and Kemiah starts waking up. She looks at him and hands him her phone. Focusing back on the road, I turned my attention back to Yari while he continued to cry.

"Don't piss me off" Miah mumbles.

"Yonna pregnant? That's all I need to know fam" Vonta looks in the backseat.

"Ask her"

"You playing" I put my phone in my lap.

"Tell him stop stressing cause it ain't her"

I glanced over at Vonta and he not even paying attention. Jit face is all in his phone. Zhai is still in the back crying and Miah trying to figure out why he just crying.

"Hoe ass nigga ain't even paying attention" I stopped at the red light.

"Fuck up, bitch. Ion even know why you talking"

"Im a loyal man" I pick up my other phone and start checking my messages.

"Nah yo ass over there deleting messages" Vonta chuckled.

"Yo, why you back there crying like a little bitch? Shut that shit up" I quickly look back at Zhai, then at the road.

"Cause his daddy a bitch" Vonta reaches in the back.

"You better stop talking to him like that," Yari says.

I almost forgot she was on the phone. Picking up my phone, I hand it to Zhai. He almost instantly stops crying and grabs the phone. Miah sucks her teeth and turns the video that was playing on her phone off.

"Yari come get him" Miah leans back to her side.

"What's wrong papa?"

Zhai doesn't respond, but he wipes his face. He doesn't have his hearing aids in, so he most likely ain't hear her. He looks up at me and back at the phone. He turns away from me, as he sniffs and rubs his nose.

Already knowing he not gone say anything, I grabbed my AirPods and put one in my ear. I waited for it to connect to that phone. The sound of her voice rang through my ear.

"I gotta redo your hair bud"

"You can do mine too" I blew my horn. "Nigga fuck is you doing"

"Watch where you going bitch" Vonta rolls down the window.

"Jit tripping" I briefly look at the car we are passing.

"Hey no road rage"

"It ain't road rage ma. Jit almost hit my shit" Looking at my other phone, I changed the song.

"I guess, but I'm bout to head out so ima talk to you later"

"Where you going?" I asked reaching back for my phone.

Grabbing my phone, I looked at Yari. She looks good as fuck. The red hair looks amazing on her. Just when I'm about to take a picture of her, she puts her phone down.

"We going out to eat, then to the club"

"What club yall getting into?" I pulled into McDonald's drive-through.

"My brothers, duh"

"Welcome to McDonald's, what can I get you?"

After ordering our food, I pulled up to the next window. We got our food and I pulled off. Looking down at my phone again, I saw Yari was now walking outside.

"You driving?"

"Nope, bye" she hangs up.

Focusing on the road, I made my way to madukes crib to drop off Kemiah and Zhai. I wanna pull up on Ayariah while she out cause I ain't seen her all day. Lowkey missing her ass.
