Raven's POV
"How ya feeling baby?"
"I'm alright granny, just tired all the time, its kinda hard being 8 months pregnant and doing everything by yourself basically."
"Now I told you last week that I would come over there and help out, you stubborn just like your daddy was."
"I know and I appreciate it, I just don't wanna burden nobody. Besides Janiya and Christyanna should be getting here in a few hours. I'll be fine."
"Lol. That child pregnant too, what y'all gone do complain to one another about being pregnant."
"Granny you so funny. She's only 5 months so she can help me out til He get back."
"Well I'll take your word for it baby,but I'm here if you need me and I'll be by there in a couple of days to bring you some corn and tomatoes from the garden."
"Awe man I could use that corn right now."
"Well I'll bring it by later on then, I need some cigarettes anyhow."
"Granny when the last time you talked to Chrissy, I've been meaning to get out there to see her,but being pregnant in the summer time I can't deal, this New Orleans heat so disrespectful."
"I understand Chile, I don't like getting out before sun down myself.
I think Sammy went to see her Tuesday, she's getting better he say. I haven't been up to that hospital in a while. I need to go tho."
"Maybe if I'm feeling up to it tomorrow, me and Ja will ride up there."
"If you do give her my love. I hate that she was going through that kind of thing and none of us picked up on it."
"Drugs are a hard thing to talk about to your family, its easy for a person to get hooked on those pain meds,that wreck messed her up so bad, her doctor shoulda picked up on it."
"Amen baby, you right!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"Now what about the reunion next weekend, is y'all coming still.?
"Imma do the first day since its inside,but I think imma skip the crawfish boil its gone be entirely too hot for me to be out there."
"Awe hush girl you know granny done already thought about that. I ordered a air conditioned tent just for you."
"Okay then granny I see you. I'll definitely be there then!"
"Is he gone be back by then?"
"Yeah he supposed to,I'm not sure I haven't talked to him since my appointment Monday,but I'll text him to see and I'll let you know when you come by."
"Well I'm not even gone go in to that. Imma get off this phone and get my dinner started. I'll call you on my way over there."
"Alright then granny, I love you lady."
"I love you too gal. Call me if you need me."
"I will, bye boo boo."
"Bye chile."
I'm back again y'all . These past 2 years have been... I guess I would say great and sad at the same time. I've been married for a year now almost two and I'm expecting my first child in about a month.
That night at the gas station changed my life forever, now I don't dwell on the negative things, I live a positive life with nothing but good people in my life now.
I still have nightmares about that night every now and then,but for the most part I've moved on from it.

"I was finished with the tour I just had that interview in New York when I got back ta tha states,ya know they fam I just tol' em I'll do it another time."
"I'm pretty sure your girlfriend Angela was heart broken about that."
"That's Plies ole lady, but fuck allat , Come over here and sit down wit me."

"I know right. But its good now I'm taking two years off ta be here witcha and the baby, that way I ca take my time with this second album without stressin..

"I'm glad you taking a break. Maybe now we can have a real wedding ,and do some other things that needs to be done."
"Why don't I cook fa ya so ya can tell me what all we need ta do be'foe she get here."
"I know I said it was hot out,but can we wait til the sun go down and then go uptown and eat,I mean I'm tired you're tired I just wanna relax listen to some jazz and enjoy you?"
"Guh ya know ya can have whatever ya like. Where ya wanna go? Snugs?"

"Hellerrrr?"
"Aye guh. Bout what time y'all making it in tonight chile?"
"Um... We ain't coming ain't light bright home?"
"You knew he was coming all along didn't you wit yo ugly ass."
"Un Un bih I ain never ugly lol."
"If you knew, you is and I hope yo edges fall out."
"You are something else,you know that? Yes I knew of course I knew.. You forget my nigga work for yo nigga bih?"
"I hate all y'all light bright asses!"
" blah blah blah.... bitch!!"
"Oh you saw that too."
"Guh yo man be wildn with his responses to them fans honey."
"I know. I told him to stop replying period. He only respond to the negative comments that gets under his skin, and the nation, the real fans hold him down and lift him up they not getting the attention. I mean true he talk to them as a whole but he never do individual one on ones.
"Yeah I noticed that too. Whatcha you gone do about it?"
"Well... I got a idea,but I don't know how he'll receive it."
"Oh lord! What is it?"
"I was thinking about us going live together on Facebook, most of his positives "wives & girlfriends" are on his Facebook. So I was thinking he and I both go live together on there just to answer some questions,clear up a few things that they're obviously confused about and just for him to show some love to the nation in general."
"I can't believe they really feel like it was y'all fault that, that lil boy got killed."
"Well it is crazy, but I guess with all of that stuff getting out about the fight with my crazy ex and us not really speaking on that or the shooting they just formed their own opinions and conclusions, but hopefully if he agrees to going live,we can clear it all up."
"Yeah,hopefully he does agree, cause the negative press is really taking away from who he really is. Cyro sweating that shit bad too,he's done his best to handle it with the press,but they stuck on the negative."
"Right well I'll let you know if we go on or not so you can log on too."
"Alright lil bitch let me know, my man and baby just walked back in let me go see what they up to."
"Okay mama kiss my baby for me and thump bruh head. I luh y'all !"
"I will and we luh you too!"
-----
After ending the call I got up to go find August to talk to him about some stuff.
And of course I find him out on our bed room balcony smoking.
"There you are, you okay?"
He looked up at me and smiled ashing his blunt out motioning for me to come to him. Lucky for me the sun was now down and it was cooling off outside.
"Yeah I'm okay, I was waiting fa ya ta get off tha phone and decided ta smoke while I waited."
"Oh okay."
"What's wrong ma,ya look like ya got something on ya mind?"
"Actually I do."
"Well ya wanna talk about it hea ah wait til we get ta the restaurant?"
"Let's just wait and go out tomorrow. I Have pork chops out that's thawed already, will you make your special pork chops rice and asparagus?"
" Of course I will ma, ya gone talk ta me while I cook?"
"We can do that."
"Ca'mon then big booty!"
"You so aggy!"
"Ya luh my aggy ass tho."
"That's fasho my nigga."
"Just stop ma lol."
"Oh you don't respect my gangsta my nigga?"
"Not even a little guh."
He ran off down the stairs to avoid the elbow I was about ta give him.
"Must forgot I sleep with yo ugly ass?"
I yelled.
"August Anthony Alsina Jr not neva ugly boo boo!!"
I shook my head as I wobbled my way down the steps.
I shoulda rethought this big ass house idea.
