Later that evening...
"Baby come here for a minute" Milan called out to Toyomi from the dining room area, London had fallen asleep in his lap. "No, I'm playing the game Babe" Toi yelled back she was in Kennedy's living room playing on the Nintendo switch with Kylie and Ryder. Milan smacked his lips "All you do is play games" he mumbled to himself "What was that?!" Toi yelled back "Huh?" Milan answered her but she ignored him continuing to play the game with the kids
Mir sat up in his seat laughing "T got that ass in check I see!" Milan looked at him like he was stupid "Yea iight" they both chuckled. Milan got up from the chair to put London down on the couch in the living room with Toi and the kids. He walked back into the dining room with Tamir "Damn Kit Kat, you got the food smelling good as hell in here" Tamir yelled out to Kennedy. She was in the kitchen slaving away "Thank you, Daddy!" She yelled back while whipping her garlic mashed potatoes
The doorbell rang Kennedy yelled "Get the door!" throughout the kitchen. Toi passed her controller to Kylie then got up to unlock the front door, it was Mia and Cash. They were back from the store, Kennedy sent them to pick up some wine. "We're back" Mia said making Cash hold up the bags with the bottles in them. Cash walked into the dining room placing the bottles on the minibar "How you feeling killa?" Cash joked around laughing loudly while he dapped Mir up "You already know I'm straight my boy" Mir looked over to him. "This shit probably about to be a little lawsuit" Cash shook his head "I know Gabe comin' thru later to go over shit" Tamir shrugged
Mia walked into the dining room to hand Cali to Cash "She wants her Daddy" Mia bent down kissing Casheem's lips, he kissed her back then kissed Cali's forehead. "Get a fuckin' room!" Mir blurted out making them both laugh. It was true ever since Cash put it on her earlier that day she couldn't keep her hands and lips off him. Mia walked into the kitchen to help Kennedy with the rest of dinner leaving the boys to themselves. After a few hours, Dominic showed up with her famous iced lemon pound cake Kennedy begged her to make. Nobody had seen her in months she walked in wearing a pullover hoodie, she looked as if she was glowing "Wassup y'all, sorry I'm late had a therapy session with Grace this afternoon" she waved to the girls before putting the cake in the kitchen
The girls followed behind her because she seemed a little off "How's that going?" Toyomi asked while pouring them all a glass of wine "No thank you, and she's really trying this time" Dominic poured herself a glass of lemonade instead. "What makes this time different Dom, I'm worried I don't want this to turn out like last time" Mia sipped her wine "I second that" Kennedy looked directly at Dominic.
"This time is different because she actually wants to be a part of something she thinks is great" Dominic turned her back to put the lemonade back into the refrigerator. "But you've always been great I don't understand?" Toi questioned. Dominic pulled her hoodie over her head, the girls thought it was because she was hot but, she turned around showing a little bump. The girls gasped Dominic never ever talked about having kids in fact they thought she never wanted them. "Guess the secret is out now. This is the reason why I haven't been coming around, I guess if you hang around a bunch of pregnant hoes you bound to become one" she half-smiled
The room grew silent before Mia squealed in excitement "Another mini-me running around the family" she reached for Dominic's bump "Girl you're still giving body from the back I didn't even notice. You're gonna be all belly" Kennedy laughed "Shit I was belly, face, neck, let's just say it was ugly" Kennedy continued on "Is Gabriel excited?" Toi asked "Well... about that. He has no idea we broke up 2months ago" she looked away "Oh shit!! No, I invited him to dinner" Kennedy downed her glass of wine pouring another. The doorbell rang "I got it Kit Kat!" Mir yelled from the front room "Bae Gabe is here!" Mir yelled out again
Dominic felt dizzy "I need to sit down for a second" her vomit was at the top of her throat "Omg maybe I could distract him while Toi sneaks you out" Kennedy rubbed Dominic's back "Fuck that! Dominic, you need to tell this man you're pregnant" Toi looked at her like she was crazy "No he has eyes, clearly he can see. Now let's eat I'm starved" Dominic stood up walking towards the dining room. "This is about to be some messy shit" Kennedy shook her head, Mia followed right behind Dominic
Gabriel had already made himself comfortable at the table laughing and joking with the guys when Dominic walked into the room nonchalantly. Milan did a double-take choking on his drink, Tamir and Cash saw her belly too but didn't speak a word of it. Gabriel was stunned he thought she had got rid of their baby, he felt like such a dick for breaking up with her over text and then blocking her from everything. The room grew silent not a word spoken from any of the adults all that could be heard were the kids laughing and screaming. "Can we eat now?" Dominic broke the awkward silence "Yea, yea Paris and everyone else is running late they said we could eat without them" Cash spoke up "Let's eat" Mia smiled
Gabriel couldn't keep his eyes off of Dominic during dinner, he watched her ignore his presence like he wasn't even there. He wasn't mad though he somewhat deserved it for ending things the way he did. Dominic deserved more than a text that said he couldn't do it anymore but, the truth was he couldn't face her at the time. "I can't take this shit anymore... Dominic can I please talk to you in private" Gabe blurted out across the table. She looked at him like he was crazy she was mid-conversation with everyone else at the table "You know me from somewhere?" She frowned up her face looking dead at him "Don't do this right here... Please" he looked up at her making her get up and walk away from the table out of the front door. Gabe jumped up "Sorry, excuse us" he followed behind her, he just wanted to get a clear understanding with her.
As soon as the doors closed behind them "What the fuck Gabe, I didn't deserve better than a text message" Dominic folded her arms across her chest "What the fuck Dominic I didn't deserve to know when you found out" he mocked her. "You fuckin' blocked me asshole" she yelled "Bullshit!" He yelled even louder "You been knew since that night I came back from Chicago" he grabbed her arm so she could look at him. "I saw the test in the trash that night Dominic" he looked away "So, you're going through my shit now?" She fussed "Stop with the bullshit games Dominic, are we doing this?" He looked at her "Are we having this baby? If so I wanna be there in every way I can if you let me"
"What does it look like... ain't no turning back now. I find out the sex in 2weeks if you care" she looked away "If I care?? I more than care" he looked into her eyes. Paris walked up with Silvia and Tamara interrupting Dom and Gaberial "Ooh no pregnancy got her too... let's go, Mommy, I think it's in the food they cooking" Paris joked "Congratulations! Come on inside and tell us all about our new addition" Tamara put her arms around both Gabe and Dominic walking them both back inside. The conversation between the two was far from over but, Gabe decided to put it to rest for the moment.
"My god another baby you boys are busy!" Silvia joked with all the men in the room holding their children. Milan was feeding London from his plate, Tamir was getting up to change Kacey, Cash was trying to put Cali to sleep. "Hell yea..." Paris looked around "None of y'all better ask me to babysit either" Paris joked "Me and Toi need you tonight we're working on number 2" Milan pulled Toyomi close to him "Umm no we're not P" Toi shook her head
Gabe looked at Dominic "Can I attend that doctor's appointment with you in 2weeks? I have a case out of town but, I'm willing to cancel" he waited for her answer. "Yea sure, I can't stop you from being a father" she sassed him, he grabbed her arm to look at the seriousness on his face "Dominic I still love you, in fact I love you more for this little blessing you're carrying"
Deep down she was hoping those words Gabriel had just said were true "Sounds like a personal problem" Dom said "I know you don't mean that. You're just upset at the moment. But I promise I'ma make it up to you" he paused "We were both selfish in this situation and I'm ready to make it up on my end and I'll be around if and when you're ready" he held onto her hands. She looked everywhere but his eyes she didn't feel like crying, lately she had been so emotional which wasn't her like at all.
"So it's a date 2weeks you bring the belly I'll bring myself" he pulled her into a hug. She was shouting for joy on the inside but played nonchalantly on the outside "Okay, also how do I reach you with updates if I'm blocked?" She tilted her head to the side "I'll handle all of that sorry for being a dick" he stole a kiss from her lips "Hey! I never said you could kiss me Mr. Greyson" she rolled her eyes "Oh I'm back to Mr. Greyson, that will be short-lived trust me" he smiled
Gabe knew he had to put the work in for Dom to trust him again and he was fine with that. She was worth every fight she put up... well at least to him she was worth it
