A Thug's Only Love

Chapter 12

At that moment I got all our stuff and bought the house I am at now. So I'm a single parent and it ain't easy. I have the help of my Mom, so Nicole is almost always with her Grandma. I planned on telling Lexis all this 'cause he doesn't know what a baby can do to a relationship.

I was at the trap sitting and thinking about everything. I heard the door open and in walked Lexis. His walk pisses me the fuck off cause it looks stupid as fuck but then again half the shit I do probably pisses him off.

"Sup bro?" He said as he dapped me before taking a seat next to me.

"Not much, you know how I do man." I said back with a lil' laugh.

"Where's everyone at? I expected Varo to already be rollin' a few." He asked.

"They'll be here in like 20, they was takin' care of a hit."

"Oh, Alright good; at least they're doin' somethin' other than getting high."

"Look man, I gotta tell you something." I said kinda hesitantly.

"Tell Me."

"You remember Heather?"

"Yeah, how the hell could I not remember her? Why?"

"Well she ended up havin' a baby." I said.

"Damn. How you know? She ain't been around for like 10 months." Heather hid her pregnancy very well, so no one knew she was pregnant except for me and her annoying ass friends.

"'Cause I'm the father." Lexis sat up so fast.

"What?!" I nodded my head slowly as I sat there leaning back in my chair.

"Yup, she had a girl. Well Heather left and now I'm raising our daughter on my own." I said calmly.

"Why didn't you say anything? You know we would have helped you out cause we're family like that."

I explained the entire story. Lexis just sat there and listened. When I finished he just sat there with a confused look plastered on his face.

"This explains, why you quit smokin' huh?" He asked.

"Lexis I had to fix my shit quick and you need to as well. It will only do y'all good. Your life will change man. Don't be stupid and cheat on Nelle or do any kind of dumb shit."

Before Lexis was about to say something, the trap door busted open and in walked the rest of the guys. Everything was put to the side because we had some business to handle.

~Lexis P.O.V.~
~The Next Morning~
~September 13th~

Last night was crazy but hey we did our job and each got paid 10g's So I was set for a little while, until we had some other job to do, so for now I would be fine just making a few deals here and there. All I know is when I got home, I was tired as fuck and just wanted to sleep.

~8 hours later~

I guess that's what I did 'cause I woke up on the couch. I was thinking a lot about what Arlie said; I never suspected Arlie and Heather would have a child together. I decided to hit up Arlie and asked him to come over. All of us decided to just skip school today since we had a late night.

About 30 minutes later I heard him pull up. My door was always unlocked so he just walked in, but not alone.

"Aye man, who you got there?" I asked as I got up.

"This is my baby girl, Nicole." He said as he gently handed her to me.

"Man. She looks just like Heather." I said as I was taking a good look at her. She really did, she had her large eyes, and curly jet black hair. I couldn't see any bit of Arlie in her, but damn that's so weird that I'm holding Arlie's daughter.

"Thanks man." He walked to the couch and laid back. Nicole started to get fussy so I handed her right back to her Daddy.

He placed her on his chest and almost instantly she calmed down.

"How'd you do that?" I asked confused.

"She loves to lay on my chest. What can I say she a Daddy's girl." He said with a small laugh as he rubbed her little back.

We sat there and chilled for a long ass time. Arlie ended up falling asleep so I took care of baby Nicole for about an hour. She was just too cute for words to describe.

"Yeah you love your Uncle Lexi huh?" I laughed as I kissed her forehead.

After spending that hour alone with Nicole, it really made me feel more comfortable with the fact, in just about 8 months, I'm going to be like Arlie.

A Father.
