Redemption

Chapter 5

"She fell?" I nodded. I cradled her in my arms as her tears dripped off the sides of her cheek. "She scratched her knee."

"We'll get her a band-aid when we get home." I said with a shrug. "You was chasin' the duckies huh?" She nodded. "That scares them, Ivanna. I tell you that every time." She ignored me and sucked on her thumb, turning herself so she was facing more towards me.

"She 'ont care. She wanted the ducky." DeShawn said with a laugh. "Wonder who she learned that from-"

"Mom. Hands down. If she turns out over dramatic we'll know who that's from." Dad. "What was Ty doing before you left to Nitty's anyways?"

"His ass was dead asleep with Rio and Ivanna in his bed. All 3 were knocked out and even Nala tried getting in the mix." Oh my God the pup. It gets no name, it's forever known as 'The Pup'.

"Party in Ty's room. You think he's up now?" He shook his head.

"Won't be up till about 4." He said playing with Rio's fluff of hair. "I actually wanna go spend some time with Lolo. So I can take the little ones, I know Lolo wants to see 'em."

"I laugh too much at Lolo. I love her so much as a sister in the family, never leave her. She's so funny." I said, standing up. I reached for my phone and slipped it in the pocket of my shorts.

"I love her too much to ever leave her. She's always been funny without realizing it. She was getting all hype at how we're gonna have milk chocolate kids and how she wants our daughter to have a mini afro. Her excitement is what makes her so cute." He said strapping Rio in the car seat as I was putting Ivanna in hers.

"Bye Ivanna." I said kissing her cheek.

"Bye bye Boop." She said kissing my cheek right back. I left her side and jogged around to Rio's side.

"Bye Rio." I held out my hand for him to give me a little high five and he did the best he could.

"Bye." He said.

"We'll talk later Dough Boy." I laughed as I walked over to my car. My beloved car who is just- too amazing for words to even begin to explain.

"Aye Brie, wanna come with me to feed Breezy's buddies later?" I asked when she walked into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around me. Those hands were pretty far down south... You naughty female, I like that.

"Yes. I wanna hold the little one."

"You don't even know her name, that's just sad." I was making myself a sandwich and was proud of my double decker PB&J. It's jelly this time. I confirmed it with Mom, Via Facetime.

"I can never remember her name. Don't judge."

"It's Sugar Peach. It ain't hard, Brie." I said teasingly.

"Anyways Trey, I gotta ask you something." You're not getting half or even a bite of my sandwich.

"Shoot." I turned around and was greeted to her eyes looking up at me.

"What if I told you I was pregnant... What would happen?"

Well, Fuck Me.

"So what have you learned from this experience?" I asked jokingly as I folded up the wheelchair and stashed it away in the garage. Well it's accessible in case Amber needs it again.

"I'm not grown enough to handle it all." She said with blushing cheeks and a laugh. "But I gave birth."

"Yeah I know. Did Joel forcibly slip in and out of you repeatedly?" She shook her head. "Then your argument is invalid. I give you lots of props for tryin' to be grown." I said reaching down to give her a kiss.
