LILLIANE POV.
" I feel like you should tell them " I shrugged at Derrick. He's been burning at the fact that Foogi is claiming and caring for his twins as if they're his.
In a way they are his kids. His name is on the birth certificate and everything else.
" but then what ma ? let layla know I cheated on her with her sister and got her pregnant ? this shit just all out of place" he shook his head.
" we'll look I did all that I was gone do , I bailed the girl out of jail. I'm not gone cover your tracks with Layla , that's something you have to get yourself out of. So tell em or don't tell em that's up to you ! "
" imma tell em " he sat on the couch and began to calm down a little.
" and when do you plan on doing this ? "
he sat in silence before answering " tonight when they come home , everybody supposed to be meeting up at layla and that other nigga house. I'm gone tell them then "
" Derrick you wasn't invited there , you know you're the last face that Layla wanna see " I rolled my neck at him. I really liked Layla , he always got to slip up.
" this ain't about Layla , this about my kids ma "
I nodded " well I sure as hell understand that " I reminisced on the time I fought my ass off trying to get Derrick and his sister back from his father.
Only got Derrick though , I haven't talked to Ariana since she was at least 8 and it eats me everyday that I don't know where my little girl is.
Derrick doesn't even remember her , and honestly I'm a bit glad he doesnt because it would be a lot harder.
" do you want me to come with you ? " I asked
he shook his head " I got myself into this alone I gotta get myself out of it alone " he shrugged
" well it's 5:08 what time are they supposed to be meeting at Layla's house ? "
" 6:30 " he sat back.
I sighed " I sure hope you know what you doing "

LAYLA POV.
" still can't really tell the gender yet but that's extremely normal , honestly I didn't expect to be able to tell today. maybe your next appointment you'll know" my doctor told me.
" okay , thanks a lot " I smiled waiting for her to leave so that I could pull my clothes back up.
" you hungry ? " fazo asked as I fixed my clothes.
" I'm always hungry "
" what you wanna eat ? "
" I don't know , whatever you wanna eat " I shrugged
" you can't eat what I wanna eat " he laughed
" why not ? something hot ? gone hurt the baby "
" nah , you just can't reach it " he said looking down
" mccht " I smacked my lips " you get me some real good I'll give you some of my food " I smiled
he laughed.
" okay , any excuses needed ? for work or anything?" The doctor asked once she came back in after knocking.
" nah , I got a question thought " fazo stood up
" yes ? "
" if we - will sex cause harm to the baby ? " he asked
I just shook my head
the nurse laughed " no , y'all can still do it .. it'll cause no problems with the pregnancy "
" YES ! " fazo hopped around the room.
I shook my head " omg let's go " I said and we left the doctors office.
-
" preshade it " fazo said as he exchanged food for money with the sonic carhop.
" boy you fine " she said
" yea , my girl tell me that all the time " he rolled the window up and pulled off.
I just sat on my phone scrolling on Instagram.
6:00
foogi pov
" here , you want some ? " I said offering twin a brownie.
raven popped my hand " he can't eat that " she said getting in the car after strapping them in.
" how come ? "
" cause he a baby "
" so " I shrugged pulling off going to Layla house.
layla house.
" damn all these damn roses everywhere " I said dusting roses off the couch before I sat down.
Raven put the twins in the guest room , they was sleep.
" had a long night last night " Layla said
" super long " fazo butted in.
I looked at them disgusted because I swear ain wanna hear nothing about that.
" where the twins ? " Layla asked
" raven just put em in the guest room , they sleep"
Layla walked off into the room leaving me and fazo in the living room.
" so what the doctor say bout the baby ? " I asked fazo , they told me they had a check up today.
" nun really , just was tb we should know the gender by the next appointment "
I nodded
ding dong.
fazo got up and opened the door.
" hey luvsss , I heard the twins were here " yazz said coming inside with tray behind her.
" wassup y'all " tray dapped me and fazo up.
" oh and by the way , Derrick just sitting in the car outside y'all house just staring " yazz informed us.
" let his ah sit there " fazo shrugged
" where they at ? " yazz said referring to the twins.
" guest room " I said and she trailed back there with them.
" where lando been at ? Ian seen his ass in a while" tray said , he was right . Lando ain't been around as much as usual.
" his mama sick up in Wisconsin , so he been back and forth between here and there " I said
" damn " tray said.
yazz , lay and raven finally come back from the room with the twins.
" what y'all in here talking about ? " raven asked
" lando "
" so y'all together now ? Or this just for the twins" tray asked.
" we working some out " raven replied.
ion know where she got that shit from , I'm just here for the twins. fuck her
" mm " I said
I heard Layla laugh a lil bit , she already knew what I was thinking. she know me hella well , she like a sister to me fasho.
we all just talking getting along and somebody knock on the door.
" I got it " Layla got up and answered the door.
LAYLA POV
I got up and answered the door and it was Derrick.
" um , can I help you ? " I asked confused on why he was here.
" excuse me " he moved me out of the way gently and walked into the living room where everybody was at.
I went in there behind him.
" umm , wassup - " yazz said making the situation even more awkward.
" ight so look , my conscious ain't been straight ight so it's some shit I needa get off my chest rq " Derrick spoke.
fazo pulled his gun from under the couch and sat it on his lap " we listening " he said
" for one Layla , I know I caused a lot of bull shit to happen in your life. I know I did some stupid shit and I still regret it to this day , ion expect for you to forgive me for the childish shit I did or nun but I just wanted you to know that I genuinely am sorry. I'm glad you got somebody to take care of you and fulfill your needs and wants ya feel me ? " he said
" and also foo " he said taking a deep breath,
" the shit I'm finna let you know prolly gone ruin everything you got going " he said
" don't " raven stepped up
Derrick shook his head " foo them twins ain't yours , they mine. Me and Raven fucked after the party" he said
" wasn't you and Layla together then ? " yazz asked
Derrick nodded.
I didn't even care honestly , it was weird hearing it but at this point I ain't care. So much shit had happened to me that this ain't even nothing , I mostly feel bad for foogi , he was really trying to be the best father that he could to those twins , he even called me back to back asking me about baby formula lol. It's just crazy how people do the people who would do anything for them.
foogi laughed , but I knew it was a front. He was hurting forreal! I could tell
raven started to cry.
" what the fuck you crying for ? " yazz said
" out of anybody in this damn room foogi should be crying " she added , that girl know she always had an input.
" foogi , I'm sorry i- " raven tried to explain but foogi cut her off.
" you ain't sorry , you sorry I found out " he got up off the couch.
" imma talk to y'all later bruh " he shook up with tray and fazo then hugged me and yazz.
" wait foo " I said walking with him to his car.
-
" Layla I'm not tripping " he shook his head as he stood up against his car.
" bro yes you are , show emotion foogi. Let it out because bottling it up isn't gonna do nothing but get you in jail , those kids became your blueprint to life and now it's gone. I KNOW that hurts , you can't tell me it doesn't " I said
" it's just - nevermind " he started and he got in his car and started it.
" congrats on the baby by the way " he closed the door and drove off.
" baby ? " I heard Derrick say from behind me.
he startled me " uh yeah , I'm pregnant " I rubbed my stomach.
he stood silently " oh " he got in his car and left.
I went back inside and the twins were woke.
" lay - " raven said
I ignored her " hey tt stinkaaa " I picked up one of the twins , I'm not sure which one it was.
" I take it I can't stay here tonight " raven said changing the other twin diaper.
" raven you can stay here as long as you'd like, but know this .. I'm not doing it for you in doing it for the twins , because unlike their mother they're innocent. I hope they stay this way " I said putting the twin back down and going to lay down.
