Author's Note: Asiah's outfit for court day two is in the external link

*Asiah's POV*

“Are you sure you wanna go to court?” Elijah asked me from the sixth time in the last five minutes

“Yes, I'm already dressed” I say grabbing my phone putting in my purse

“Okay, let's go”

We walk downstairs “I'm driving” I say taking the keys from his hand

He laughs “Okay” he opens up the front door and locks it while I get into Elijah's white 200 Audi A4

“I can't believe I'm letting you drive my car” he says getting in the passenger side

“Believe it cause it's happening” I say driving out of the driveway onto the street

“No matter what happens today you know I love you” he says

“I know”

“Oh, what you don't love me now?” he asks jokingly

“I love you, too”

“Good morning you guys ready for round two?” Rodney asks

“Yes” I say squeezing Eli's hand

“Are you okay, Asiah?” Rodney asks

“I'm fine” I say standing close to Elijah

“Okay let's go”

We all walk into the court and take our seats just like yesterday

A few minutes pass then Cassidy and Jermone enter I can't help but stare at Jermone he looks like some beat his ass...badly then I turn my gaze to Elijah before I could say anything Rodney was already on it

“Did you have anything do with that or know anything about that?” he asks motion towards Jermone

Elijah shakes his head “Naw, but I know probably deserved it”

I move my chair closer to Elijah “What did you do?” I whisper in his ear

“Nothing...I was with you all yesterday remember”

I smack my lips I know Elijah was behind this someway

“All rise the honorable Judge Richard is here”

Everyone in the courtroom stands up the Judge Richard come in his black robe then sits on the bench

“You may be seat” Judge Richard says

“Your honor my clients are excuse my language but they are tired of pussyfooting around they are two lovely people who want more then anything just to to get their daughter and continue on with here lives as seen from yesterday Alexis doesn't know that Miss. Hall is her mom and its it no away effect her in a negative way” Rodney says

“Thank you counselor”

“Your honor Miss. Hall would like this drop this case”

Elijah, Rodney, and I all look over at Cassidy who's has her hands fold on top of the table

“Okay..custody of Alexis Dominique Jackson goes to Elijah Jackson and Asiah Wright”

Elijah and I share a short sweet kiss “We get our baby back” I say

*Elijah's POV*

We leave the court room and Cassidy's outside waiting for us “I need to tell you something”

“Okay”

“I slept with Raheem--” I cut her off

“Okay” I say confused

“Back when we were together I slept with him so when I got pregnant I didn't know if you or Raheem--”

I cut her off again “You mean there is a possibility that Alexis isn't my daughter?”

Cassidy nods her head

“That precious little girl is my daughter no matter what. Why would you say such a horrible disgusting thing...wow that's a new low for you Cass”

“Don't call me that!” she yells

“You unbelievable”

“I'm not lying ask Raheem he'll tell you the same thing”

“Don't worry I will call my brother, let's go” I say pulling Asiah out of the courthouse

When we got my mom's house Raheem's was there for some reason I open the door “Mama!” I call out

“Backyard” she yells

We walk to the backyard where everyone is

“You just the person I need to talk to” I say to Raheem

“What's up?”

“Come with me” I say

Raheem and I walk outside in front of my mama's house “We got full custody of Alexis today”

“That's good”

“And you'll never guess why?”

“Why?”

“She not sure if I'm Alexis' dad”

“W-what?” Raheem stutters

“Yeah, can you believe I mean I don't care if she's is or not I'm still her dad”

“Yeah, you'll always be her dad”

“Who you think she cheated on me with?”

Raheem shrug his shoulders

“Nigga stop playin' dumb I know it was you” I yell

“I'm sorry”

“Why?” I shake my head

“It was a accident”

“I went to jail for you!” I yell

“I know”

I sigh “I want a DNA test I need to know if she's yours” I say

“Okay anything you want”

Asiah comes outside with Alexis sleeping in her arms “You ready to go?”

“Yeah” I say

Asiah rubs my back “So did you ask him?”

“Yeah”

“And?”

“He confessed”

“Now what?”

“I love Alexis and everything but I just got to know if she's mine”

“I get it” Asiah says

“Let's talk about something else like the wedding”

“What about it?”

“You said you wanted a summer wedding...let's do it”

“Really?”

“Yeah, anything you want”

“I guess I should start on it then summer's coming to an end”

“Yeah, you should”

“Shut up” she says playfully

*Drake's POV*

“Kevin wants a DNA test” Nicki says

“I don't give a fuck what that nigga want!”

“Okay, you don't have to yell”

“My bad”

“I think we should have one”

“Can we have one?”

“Yeah, I set- up appointment for later on today”

“A'ight”

“Do you really want to do this?” I ask Nicki

“I do if it will get Kevin to leave me alone_ she rubs her small bump _ I know this is our baby” she says smiling

“Me too” I kiss her stomach

“We haven't really talked about names you thought of any?”

“Yeah, Jayla Nicole Graham”

“I like it” Nicki says

“You do?”

“Yeah, Jayla Nicole Graham” she says

“Jay, for short” I say

“Cute”

“How does this work?” Kevin asks

“I'm going to take a swab of your cheek and we'll compare to the fetus's DNA” Dr. Thomas says

“How are you going to get the fetus' DNA and is it going to hurt the baby or Nicki?” I ask

“I'm going to stick needle into Nicki's stomach and take some fluid then compare to Mr. McCall's and your DNA and as for the pain its depend on the person's pain tolerance”

“You think you can take that”

“Yeah” Nicki says

“Okay, who's first?”

“Me” Kevin says looking irritated

Dr. Thomas take a q-tip and grazes in the inside of Kevin's cheek then does the same process for me and last but not least Nicki.

I hold her hand “You okay?” I ask

“Yes” she says

Dr. Thomas hooked up a bunch of wires to Nicki's chest and stomach

“You ready”

“Yes” Nicki says looking at the long ass needle the doctor was about poke her with

“Mrs. Graham just tell me if you feel any pain or discomfort”

“Okay”

He sticks her with the needle and take some fluids then he takes the needle and and puts the fluid into a test tube

“We can we get the results?”

“In the next few days”

“A'ight”

Dr. Thomas leaves the room

“I just want to thank you guys from agreeing to this”

“I just want you out of my life” Nicki says

“Me too”

“A'ight I'm out”

“Bye”

“Deuces” I say

“You need anything or want anything?” I ask her

“Naw, I'm good actually I'm kinda in the mood for tacos and strawberries”

“Tacos and strawberries?”

“Yes, Jayla and I crave what we crave”

“Now, I'm gonna have two women to pleasure for the rest of my life”

“Yup”

*Chris' POV*

“He's so cute” I say playing with Terrence

“You always say that” Angel says

“What you want me to say you have a ugly baby?” I ask

“Ha, not funny Christopher”

“Sorry Angelique”

“The don't call me that” she whines

“Then don't call me Christopher you ain't my mama you his mama” I say poking Terrence in the stomach

He giggles at this reaction fling his arms and legs around

“So what made you name him Terrence?” I ask

“Kevin and I used to talk about baby names all the time Terrence for a boy and Natasha for a girl”

I nod my head “Terrence Kevin McCall” I say

He's eye light up as if he knows that I called his name

“Does he always do that when you say his name?” I ask

“Yeah, I think he knows his name”

“That's cool”

“So Chris how are you doing?”

“I'm good”

“I mean really how are you really...you got a ex about to get married and another one going to back to her ex...I know you--”

“You don't know anything Angel” I say

“Sorry”

I shake my head “Naw, it's okay... I don't know how to feel"

“So how was Asiah's engagement party?”

“Bomb, her friend, Kady...” I stop myself once I see the hurt look on Angel's face

“She forgave Drake and you but she can't forgive me? I don't get it”

“Wanna me to talk to her?”

Before Angel can answer the door swinging open “I'm back” Kevin yells “And I brought Burger King”

“Your not feeding that garbage to our son”

“I know that Burger King ain't got no baby meals” he says laughing

“Not funny...it's time for Terrence's nap anyway” Angel says taking Terrence away from me

“Okay”

Kevin puts two bag of Burger King on the table

“So what happened?” I ask opening one the bags

“We got our DNA swabbed”

“So when you get the results”

“In the next few days...I know she's mad at me" he says

"She's not mad at you she's mad at your choices" I say

Kevin looks at me taken back “Whoa, Chris did you just saying something mature”

“If ya' music career doesn't work out you can always start doing stand up”

Kevin laughs “Nigga give me back my food”

“Nope” I say stuffing my face with fries

Angel comes back downstairs “Chris, is right I'm not mad at you I'm made at your choices...you slept with a her even though she is married and you knew that she was married at the time”

“Yeah, I did and it was a mistake but like a man I'm gonna own up to my mistakes”

“Maybe I should leave” I say grabbing hamburger of the bag

“Naw, it's cool Chris” Angel says

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, relax, I'm going to cook a real dinner” Angel says

“Need any help Chris is here” Kevin says

“Nigga don't be volunteering me to do yo' job”

“I don't want him burnin' down my house” Angel says

“Angel take yo' ass in the kitchen” I say jokgingly
