"See this that bullshit always gotta have a smart fucking mouth," Alex rolled her eyes at Raffiel, while he was on the other side of the phone.
"Aye bruh it ain't my fault you can't handle it. Shit you the one that got mad cause I said the truth," Raffiel said back.
"You know what fuck you. I knew this wouldn't work out," She shook her head.
"You fucking serious?"
"Bye," Alex pushed the red button and Raffiel angrily put the phone on the hook, before going back to his cell.

"Fuck Khalil," Tamera moaned, clawing his back as he was deep inside her.
"You like that Mera?" He then hiked one leg up on his shoulder and she moaned aloud.
"Y-Yes," Tamera sighed, feeling euphoric.
"Tell me you love me baby," Khalil told her and Tamera's eyes rolled in the back of her head.
"I love you so much baby—fuck!" Tamera said, cumming all over him. Khalil pulled out, releasing on her thigh.
"You okay?" Khalil fell on his back beside her.
"Yes," Tamera sighed, her eyes closing.
"Aht—Go use the bathroom,"
"Khalil," She groaned.
"No. Go pee and I'll join you in the shower after I change the sheets," He said and she sighed nodding.
"Can you carry me cause I know my legs gonna be wobbly as fuck," Tamera said and he chuckled, nodding.
"Bae you think I should get another dog?" Tamera said as she petted Roxy on the couch.
"You think you ready for that?" Khalil asked, knowing her business was still at a point where she couldn't just sit down yet.
"I mean yeah. I've been thinking about it for a minute now," Tamera shrugged, then smiling at Roxy
"What type of dog you want?" He asked her.
"Great Dane," Tamera smiled and his eyes widened.
"You want a fucking horse, is what you telling me?"
"Yes. They're so big and cute," Tamera gushed as she remembered all the pictures she's seen.
"Sum wrong with you,"
"Oh fuck y—"
Tamera's personal phone started ringing, cutting her off. She answered it without looking at the caller id. "Hello?"
"Is this Tamera Green?"
"Yes. This is she,"
"Good. We have a patient here named Evan Mitchell. He wanted us to contact you to come and see him before he passes,"
"He's about to die? Like right now?" Tamera stood, causing Khalil to look at her with confusion.
"Yes. He has a couple of hours," The nurse sighed, making Tamera rub her forehead.
"Okay, I'll be there soon." She said then hung up.
"What's going on?" Khalil asked her as she went up the stairs.
"Evan is about to die," She said and he followed behind her.
"You want me to go with you?" He asked, looking at her while she put on some sweats.
"No," She shook her head. "I'll be back," She told him and he nodded.

"I'm glad you came," Evan smiled and she nodded.
"Why you call me up here Evan?"
"Right, I'm sorry. Can you get those papers right there?" He weakly pointed to the other chair.
Tamera nodded, getting them, she was about to put them in his hand but he backed her up.
"Read them," He said and Tamera rolled her eyes before sitting back down.
Tamera sighed as she read the papers, after she quickly looked at him. "You're signing over your rights to her?"
"Yes. And I was in the process of getting her last name changed to yours, but I'm not in a good condition as you can see. On the back you can see an address and a number which is my mother's, Taniyah is there. She knows what I did and she's gonna give Taniyah to you without bullshit. I just hope you let my ma see her,"
"Of course I will. I'm not gonna do that, she probably loves her grandma."
"Yeah she does, you should see the way her eyes light up Mera. She looks just like you," He said then coughed.
Tamera smiled a little, hearing that. "I-I hope you can raise her better than I did. I tried my best so far and now you have to finish it off. Once again Mera I'm sorry."
"Does she know that you're dying? Your mom? Taniyah?"
"My mom been knew and I explained it the best I could to Taniyah yesterday. I know she's gonna be heartbroken for a while so just try to comfort her as best as you can. That's the last thing I'm asking," He said.
"Of course," Tamera sighed. "Evan I don't know—" She looked up, hearing a flatline.
"Evan?" Tamera went over to him. "Wh—Evan?" She shook him and his eyes didn't open.
"Fuck Evan," Tamera shook her head. Leaving the room, she notified the doctors, then left.

Tamera knocked on the door for the second time, looking at the paper to make sure.
"Aye ma. What's your name?" A little boy no older than 16 asked as he circled the street on his bike, making her chuckle.
"Taken,"
"That's a beautiful name Taken," He said and she laughed again.
"No, like I gotta boyfriend. See," Tamera flashed her promise ring.
"Dang, pretty girls stay cuffed." He rode off and Tamera shook her head, about to knock on the door again, but the door opened before she could knock again.
"Ms. Mitchell," Tamera said, seeing the old woman for the first time ina' long time.
"Tamera, is my son—"
"Yes. I'm so sorry," Tamera said and Edna nodded.
"It's fine," Edna shook her head. "You wanna come in?"
"Sure," Tamera said and Edna let her in before, closing the door completely.
"How you been doing baby?"
"Nothing really. I finally got my business off the ground and whatnot,"
"That's good baby. I'm proud of you and I'm sorry for what my son did to you,"
"It's fine. Do you have her?"
"Yes," Edna smiled. "She's back in the room sleeping, I'm guessing she's what you came for?"
"Yeah," She nodded. "Evan signed his rights over to me. I-I just don't know how to—"
"Baby a child don't come with a manual. And even if they did it wouldn't be accurate cause all kids are different. Nobody knows how to be a parent on the first try, but you learn as life goes on, and they get older." Edna lectured, making Tamera nod.
"C-Can I see her?"
"Of course. Are you taking her tonight?" Edna stood and Tamera did the same.
"Only if you are okay with it. I don't want to come and mess with anything," Tamera said as Edna started walking and she started following her.
"I need to start planning Evan's funeral and child please. You're her mom," She said and
"Barely," Tamera mumbled to herself as Edna stopped at a door frame, going into the room.
Tamera's breath got caught in her throat, seeing the girl sleeping peacefully. All Tamera could think was how beautiful she was.
"I—She's so pretty," Tamera said and Edna smiled.
"She is. How's Tremaine and Angela?"
Tamera fought the urge to roll her eyes at the mention of Angela. "My dad good but my mom passed,"
"I'm sorry,"
"It's fine,"
"I'ma start packing her bag and you can take her," Angela said and Tamera nodded, still looking at Taniyah.

"Khalil. Open the door for me," Tamera said as she pulled up in her driveway.
"Gotchu," He simply said and hung up the phone. Tamera opened her door and got out, putting Taniyah's bag on the top of the car.
Going to Taniyah's door, opening it she reached in, taking off Taniyah's seatbelt, then picked her up.
Taniyah was asleep so it was even harder, one thing Tamera did know was that she was a hard sleeper. She didn't wake up once on the ride or when Edna put her in the car.
Tamera closed the door after adjusting her on her shoulder. Getting the bag in her other hand, she then walked up to her door.
Kicking it a little bit with her foot, it opened slowly, she put her on the couch, she then immediately let out a breath.
Roxy started barking, causing her to sigh again. "Roxy stop," Tamera told her and Roxy began to just whine. Tamera went to Roxy's cabinet and gave her a treat.
Khalil ended up coming downstairs, stopping, seeing a sleeping Taniyah. "That's her?" He asked and Tamera nodded.
"Yeah," Tamera looked at her. "I don't know what I'm gonna do. All of this is so overwhelming. Like I knew if I kept her I would obviously be a better parent, but I thought she died Khalil. I got over it and I just accepted I would never see her. That's what getting me, that after all these years she mysteriously popped up. I-Im scared," Tamera said, letting tears come out of her eyes, Khalil went over to her, letting her cry in his arms.
Most people may say that she's overreacting but she didn't care.
It was a lot, she had accepted the fact that her baby died, so she lived with it. It's crazy how you wish and hope to see a person, but when they pop up you're angry, upset, and somewhat happy.
"You're gonna get through this Tamera. Shit we are 'cause I'm gon be there for her too. Okay? She gon be straight and if you need a day or two I'm pretty sure she has somebody on his side to help too. Not to mention the gang, it'll be hard, but we gon' do it." Khalil said and she smiled, nodding.
Khalil groaned, waking up beside Tamera. He knew she was going through a lot so he was gonna make it easier.
After taking a shower and doing his hygiene, he put on a white beater and some basketball shorts, going downstairs.
Stopping in his tracks he saw Taniyah on the couch with Roxy in her lap. "The fuck?" Khalil mumbled.
"Hello sir. Where's my grandma?" She spoke and his heart nearly burst.
"Uhm—shit. "Uhh do you know who your mom is?" Khalil asked, not knowing what else to say.
"Yes. I thought I had two daddy's but my dad explained how babies were born. And he told me I had a mommy and he said her name was Tamera Green,"
"Okay well your mom is sleeping and I'm gonna make breakfast for her and you,"
"Okay. So if my mom is sleeping, who are you?"
"I'm your mom's boyfriend," Khalil said behind the island while she followed, making Roxy get off her lap.
"So you like kiss and stuff?" Taniyah said and Khalil chuckled.
"Yes we kiss and stuff," Khalil chuckled as he put a pan on the stove.
"These chairs are big. Can I get on one?"
"Uhh sure," Khalil shrugged, going over to her, lifting her up.
"This is tall, I never been up so high before." She said and he chuckled, going back to the stove.
"Question. Where did you wake up?" Khalil asked, pretty sure they put her in one of the guest rooms.
"In a huge bed. I was able to get off and I saw a big dog, I was scared until it started rubbing on my legs. Then it began walking, so I followed it to that couch," Taniyah shrugged as she kept turning the chair.
"Stop doing that. You'll get dizzy," He said and she nodded.
"That's so cool," Taniyah looked at him.
"What?"
"Your eyes. Are they real?" She asked and he chuckled with a nod.
"Yes. They're re—"
"I'm so fucking tired," Tamera yawned as she came down the steps.
"Babe," Khalil called out and pointed to Taniyah.
"Oh shit," Tamera mumbled. "Hello Taniyah,"
"Are you my mommy?" Taniyah asked, with hopeful eyes.
"Yes," Tamera nodded, as she came over to her.
"You're so pretty," Taniyah said, making Tamera pout.
"You're pretty too boo," Tamera smiled looking at Taniyah. Taniyah then wrapped her arms around Tamera's neck and Tamera wanted to cry.
Ms Edna
